Ryanâs eyes shone as he nodded and said, âAlright. Iâll look for Silvia. Your family has ties with Ryoln Cityâs judiciary system. Itâs better for you to stay in Ryoln City and help Neil.â
âThatâs what I was thinking too. Itâs settled, then.â
Over the next few days, one of them headed to Lumont City, while the other stayed in Ryoln City in hopes to save Neil.
Meanwhile, once they got permission to go to Forrestâs place, Silvia and Winston left Lumont City.
They only arrived at Medicine Valley two days later.
When he saw them, Forrest frowned. His gaze was stern.
âWhy are you two here?â
Silvia went forward. âMr. Yerger, an elderly person whoâs very kind to me has been poisoned. Sheâs in a coma, and youâre the only one who has the herbs for the antidote. Thatâs why I broke the rules and came to Medicine Valley. I was hoping that you could save her. Iâm willing to bear the punishment for coming here.â
Forrest cast a glance at Abalene and frowned.
âLay her down.â
After examining Abalene, Forrestâs expression turned incredibly dark. âYou gave her the blood lotus?â
âYes...â
âSeriously, you... I donât even know what to say about you anymore. Thatâs the only blood lotus in the world, and you gave it to her? You...â
He thought that Silvia might be able to weather through the punishment if she had the blood lotus, but now...
âMr. Yerger, saving her is more important right now.â
Forrest sighed and said nothing else. He just made some medicine for Abalene.
After Abalene took the medicine, her face no longer looked ashen. Some color returned to her cheeks.
âI ran out of the herbs you need not too long ago. Go and pick them from the mountain.â
Winston pulled a long face. Back when he studied medicine, he hated going into the mountains to gather herbs because he would always run into snakes. He was not scared of them, but he hated the slimy feeling he got from them. Whenever he thought about it, he would get goosebumps all over his body.
Silviaâs expression did not change in the slightest. She nodded and said, âAlright.â
âGo and gather the herbs first. Youâll receive your due punishment when youâre done.â
Silvia said nothing else. She just carried a basket on her back and started walking to the mountains.
Winston rubbed his nose and looked everywhere except at Silvia.
âSo, uh, Silvia, I wonât be going into the mountains with you to gather herbs. Iâll be here taking care of Madam Remus to make sure that her condition doesnât worsen.â
Forrest immediately kicked his butt.
âI donât need you here. Youâre going into the mountains to gather herbs too. Iâll write a prescription for you. If you donât gather the herbs on the list, neither of you are coming back!â
Winston felt like he got swept into this mess and became collateral damage.
He seriously could not run from it...
With the prescription in hand, both of them headed into the mountains.
Forrest stared at them and sighed. He stroked his white beard and said, âLooks like whatâs bound to happen will happen no matter what. In the end, what goes around, comes around.â
By the time Silvia and Winston came back with the herbs, it was already dark outside.
Winstonâs hair was a mess, and there were lacerations on his face. His shirt and pants had a few tears in them, and he looked like he had escaped from disaster.
Compared to him, Silvia was in a much better state. Even though her hair was also a little messy, her clothes were relatively clean still, and she was not injured.
Forrest gave Winston a look and said coolly, âWash your hands and come eat.â

ï¤Chapter 20 The Ugly Lady Strikes Back ï¤Chapter 2514 Then, he looked at Silvia. âAs for you, come with me.â
Silvia went into the pharmacy with Forrest. He put a black pill on the table and calmly said, âThis is the Hundred Poison Pill. Itâs made of more than one hundred types of poisonous substances. Those who take it will feel as if they have stakes being driven into them whenever midnight strikes. They will suffer greatly. The pain you endure each day will be greater than the last, and it will continue until the day you die.
âYour other senior couldnât stand the pain and took his own life. Now, youâve broken the rules of Medicine Valley. If you want to save Madam Remus, you must take this pill.â
The rules of Medicine Valley had been passed down for more than one thousand years. One of the conditions for Forrest to become Medicine Valleyâs master was that he had to follow its rules.
