Chapter 764 The Willow Tree Branch Facing South
Janie hurriedly said, “That’s right, Emma. You need to let Mr. Adelmar examine your eyes. Everyone is concerned about your eyes.”
Emmeline said, “Okay, I’ll explain to you later how to get a rough estimate of your due date. I will let Waylon check my eyes for now.”
“Come over here.”
Abel put his arm around Emmeline’s shoulder and guided his wife to sit down on the sofa. After that, he reached out and embraced her with his arm.
Emmeline sensed that Waylon was right in front of her; she blinked her misty eyes and asked, “Does it hurt to examine the eyes?”
Waylon remained silent. He squeezed her lips and threw a mint candy into her mouth. The cool and refreshing taste soothed Emmeline’s heart. She closed her mouth, squinted her eyes, and sucked on the mint candy.
Waylon lifted her face with one hand and opened her eyelid with the other to examine her eyes. Later, he used a small flashlight to shine into her pupils. He furrowed his brow and murmured, “Huh?”
Abel and Benjamin’s hearts clenched when they heard Waylon groan.
Both men simultaneously inquired, “Waylon, is there a problem with Emma’s eyes?”
Janie also became nervous, and she said, “Yes, Mr. Adelmar. What’s wrong with Emma’s eyes?”
Waylon remained silent and set down the flashlight with a furrowed brow. He then checked Emmeline’s pulse. After listening carefully for more than ten seconds, he finally said, “Emma, do you still have Vampire Dust in your body?”
Emmeline replied, “Yes, I had forgotten. I was given vampire dust while I was out of it.”
Waylon cursed, “Those scum! But the effects have been mostly neutralized, only about twenty percent of them remain in your body.”
“That’s because I ate some herbs, but I couldn’t see them, so I only found three of them,” Emmeline explained.
Waylon pinched her face and said, “Those herbs are poisonous and could act up at any time. You are outrageous.”
Emmeline replied, “I had no other options at the time. If I had no strength, wouldn’t I be at their mercy?”
Everyone was speechless.
All three of the men remained silent as they exchanged looks. Janie also bowed her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
Waylon said with great difficulty, “Later, I’ll make you an antidote to get rid of the remaining poison in your body. I need to cleanse it up, in case it acts up and causes you stomach pain.”
Emmeline pointed to her eyes and asked, “Hmm, did you figure out what’s wrong with my eyes? What’s going on?”
“Your eyes have been poisoned by Wraith Petal, but it’s simple to cure,” Waylon said.
Emmeline frowned and asked, “Wraith Petal? Waylon, how is that possible?”
Waylon replied, “I also find it odd. Wraith Petal is a formula from our clan, which had been destroyed for years. How did it end up in your eyes?”
“Did you misdiagnose?” Emmeline questioned it, and she had a hard time believing it.
She had heard Master Adelmar talk about Wraith Petal before. He claimed that because the formula was intended to hurt people, he destroyed it long ago.
Is Wraith Petal the poison that caused my blindness? It’s simply unbelievable.
“How could I see it wrong?” Waylon rebuked him and rubbed his forehead.
“Although it’s not that simple, we shouldn’t worry about it right now. I’ll treat your eyes first.”
“Uh-hmm.”
Emmeline quickly nodded. She had never heard of the Wraith Petal formula, so it stands to reason that she was unaware of how to treat it. She questioned Waylon, “So how should we treat this?”
Waylon replied, “The approach is easy. We need to boil fresh willow tree branches that grow facing south, let them cool down, and then use them to clean our eyes. Do this once every seven days. You’ll be okay after we repeat this three times.”
“Is this the sole ingredient we require?”
“Yes.”
“This is the only ingredient we need?”

“That’s right.”
“Is it really that simple?”
“Yup.”
After the conversation between the siblings ended, Benjamin turned to Abel and inquired, “Do we have any willow trees in the garden?”
Abel stated, “We have a few weeping willows that were planted last year.”
Waylon said. “That’s perfect. Hurry up and get some, but remember to only take the south- facing branches.”
“Why does it have to be the branches that face south?” Abel questioned it, unsure of the rationale.
