Chapter 306
The chef had prepared the food, which Romeo personally brought up to Arabella, “Can’t sleep, huh?”
Arabella was surprised to see him carrying two big plates of food, “You usually eat in your bedroom?”
“Nah,” Romeo put the plates on the table and said softly, “But I’m willing to change all my habits for you. Wait here, there’s more food downstairs. Let me go grab it.” Arabella watched his silhouette leave the room, a warm feeling welling up in her heart
Outside the window, the lake shimmered in the sunlight, and a sea of flowers swayed in the wind. Arabella went to the balcony to enjoy the beautiful view and feel the cool breeze.
Romeo came over with two big plátes of food, looking tall and handsome. His gaze at Arabella was full of adoration.
“Let’s eat here,” Arabella pointed at the table on the balcony, “The view is great here.
“Alright,” Romeo put down the food and pulled out a chair for her.
After Arabella sat down, she saw him bring over more food.
After eating, Arabella said lightly, “I should go now, keep the Cinnamomum tenuis, I’ll make the medicine when I gather the rest of the ingredients.”
“Where are the other ingredients?” Romeo asked softly.
Was it in the triangular zone again? Or other dangerous places? He didn’t feel comfortable letting her go alone.
“Just in Summerfield.”
“I’ll send someone to get it,” Romeo said worriedly, Just tell me the address.”
“Don’t worry, it’s safe.”
Some of the ingredients were in Villa Cascada, some needed several steps to prepare. Anyway, it was a bit complicated to handle.
“I can get it all by tonight,” Arabella said calmly, “Just send me home first.”
She wasn’t planning on telling him the location of Villa Cascada just yet.
“Don’t work too hard,” Romeo said with concern in his eyes.
Although his grandmother’s condition was important, her health was important too!
“I got it.”
Back at Reflections Villa, Arabella waited for Romeo to leave before heading to the garage to drive to Villa Cascada herself:
Louisa was having tea in the garden. Seeing her, she said happily, “Bella, you’re back? Come sit and have some dessert, how’s your friend doing? Does she need a doctor? What’s she sick with?”
Last time, Arabella only mentioned a few things on the phone, so Louisa wasn’t clear about the details. She only knew that Arabella’s friend was seriously ill and/ needed to go abroad to visit her.
“She’s doing well, don’t worry,” Arabella said kindly, “I have something to do now, so I need to leave.”
“You’re leaving again? You just got back. wait a bit, I’ll have someone make you some juice. Drink it before you go.”
“I’ll drink it when I get back.”
“Then be careful on the road.”
Arabella drove to Villa Cascada, had the other ingredients prepared, and then personally formulated them.
Meanwhile, Carl received a message and immediately called Romeo.
“Mr. McMillian, they replied saying they want to see the glycyrrhiza and root of purple lotus first. They’re probably worried because they think we’re trying to scam
them.”
Romeo, holding the steering wheel with one hand, said nonchalantly, “Let them have a look.”
“Okay.”
Carl was surprised. He didn’t expect Romeo to become so gentle.
Usually, if someone demanded to inspect the goods first, Romeo would definitely ignore them.
It was getting dark.
Arabella delivered the medicine she had developed to Moon Villa.
“Slice the Cinnamomum tenuis, use five grams each time, boil it with these ingredients, and then simmer for fifty minutes over low heat. Let Shirley take it when it’s
not hot.”
