Luck and misfortune always went hand in hand.
Although she was uncertain of her future, at least she had obtained the dragonblood fruit. Once Yana ate
it, her heart disease would be cured.
Closing the wooden box, Natalie hugged it close to her chest and slowly closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, a hint of determination flashed across them.
Not only do I have many things to do, but I want to watch Xavian, Clayton, Franklin, and Sophia grow up
too! I canât allow myself to die here.
Later, she wrote a list of tools and handed it to the maid, who would then pass the list to Milton.
Only two or three of those tools were used to make incense. The rest were used to modify crossbow
arrows.
Natalie shut herself in the room to make incense. Liliana was concerned about the progress and would
often come to visit her. Seeing that she was extremely concentrated on making incense, Liliana could not
hide the smile in her eyes.
By right, the more Liliana believed that the incense would work, the better it would be for Natalie.
However, when she saw Lilianaâs smile, she would feel upset.
âDr. Nichols, when Josiah wakes up, I want to tell him that I like him.â
âYou never told him that?â Natalie probed.
âNever..â Liliana smiled with tears in her eyes. âHe said he wanted to take me far away, but I laughed at
him for overestimating himself. He was always protecting me, but I never cherished what he had done for
me and even mocked him for being nosy. However, when he was covered in blood, I could only watch as
he fell asleep.â
Initially, Natalie thought that Liliana and Josiah were deeply in love with each other. Little did she know
that Josiah did not even hear the response he wanted to hear before he died.

At that instant, she suddenly thought of Samuel.
She wanted to get her revenge. Besides the Nichols family, there were also more powerful families
around.
Thinking that love was troublesome and would restrain her from getting stronger, she shut Samuel out of
her heart.
After Liliana left, Natalie continued to make incense.
Since Josiah was dead, naturally, the incense would not work on him.
The incense was for the living to smell.
As time passed, Natalie had stayed in the Todd residence for a week.
She locked herself in the room every day. She would make incense during the day and assemble
crossbows and explosives at night.
In the blink of an eye, it was the time she agreed with Liliana.
Holding the medicinal incense, Natalie entered the bedroom with the ice coffin.
âLiliana, weâve already agreed that Iâll only burn the incense and perform acupuncture when I see my
friend,â Natalie piped up.
âOf course.â Liliana nodded. âMilton, bring Ms. Fane here.â
âYes.â
After a while, Cecilia walked into the room.
She had lost a lot of weight, and her face was as pale as a sheet.
Immediately, Natalie hugged her with remorse and guilt. âCecilia, Iâm sorry. Itâs all because of me.â
âThereâs no need to apologize. I know youâll save me.â
When Natalie was hugging Cecilia, she stuffed a pill into the pocket of the latterâs clothes and said in a
low volume that only they could hear, âPut this pill in your mouth later.â
âOkay.â

ter the let go of each other. Liliana uttered. âDr. Nichols, youâve already seen your friend its your turn to
honor your promise.
No problem. Natalie glanced around and continued, âWhen I burn incense and perform acupuncture. I
donât like being disturbed. Except for you and my friend, please ask the rest to wait outside. Without our
order, no one is allowed to come in.â
All right
Hence, Milton and the servants left the bedroom.
Under Lilianaâs impatient gaze, Natalie lit the incense in her hand.
As fire engulfed the medicinal incense, the entire room was filled with a faint herbal fragrance.
