In Teddy's eyes, Arielle was like a fairy to him.
Considering that she had saved the entire village, he was sure that she could save her mom.
Unfortunately, Nigel and Josee didn’t share his optimism. Although Arielle had helped them get their salary back, they figured that
there was little she could do about Josee’s disease.
Moreover, they were honest people and didn’t like to be in anyone's debt.
Worried that Arielle would offer to pay for her medical bills, Josee admonished her son, “Teddy, stop being rude!”
Teddy cringed in response but refused to let go of Arielle’s leg.
At that moment, Vinson arrived at the scene.

After nodding at the Lowes to greet them, Vinson turned toward Arielle and reported, “They have found the herbs that you wanted
on an undeveloped hill near the mine. There are a lot of herbs there. However, it took longer than expected due to the difficult
terrain.”
Arielle quickly took the pouch that Vinson handed to her and saw that all the herbs were already prepared.
When she heard from Rube that Josee was coughing blood, she had instructed the bodyguards to collect the herbs.
“It's all right. They have responded as quickly as they could. | was even worried that they wouldn‘t be able to find any herbs at all.
Luckily, we got them in time.”
Nigel was confused by what he heard.
“What herbs?”
Arielle grinned slightly and explained, “The herbs to treat Josee’s sickness.”
Just as she spoke, she knelt down to face the teary-eyed Teddy, “Teddy, since you have been a big help to me, | will help you in
return by curing your mom. How about that?”
Raising his head in delight, Teddy asked, “Really?”
“Of course.”
Without Teddy's help, Rube wouldn‘t have infiltrated the village that easily as a trader.
“Hurray!” Teddy jumped in joy. Hurrying back to his mom'’s side, he exclaimed, “Mom, you won't be leavinganymore!”
Smiling wryly, Josee instructed Teddy, “Teddy, go to your room first. | need to speak to Ms. Moore.”
Although he was confused, Teddy was sensible enough to obey without question.
After Teddy had left, Josee remarked, “Ms. Moore, | appreciate your kind intentions. However, I'm afraid that... it's too late for me.”
“Stop talking nonsense!” Nigel admonished her. “Aren‘t you doing fine right now?”
Josee shook her head. “Actually, on the very first day | coughed blood, | had gone to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told
Nigel's eyes widened in shock. As his face gradually lost color, he and Josee hugged each other and bawled.
Given how backward the village was, the mere mention of cancer was the equivalent of a death sentence. The villagers were
unaware that many kinds of cancers could now be treated with modern medical technology.
While both of them were crying hard, Arielle didn’t interrupt. She waited till they calmed down before suggesting, “Nigel, let me
take a look at Josee. Perhaps, | may be able to cure her.”
“You?” Josee wiped away her tears while shaking her head. “Ms. Moore, forget it. The doctors have diagnosed it as lung cancer.
Hence, there's no point in struggling. | heard that the treatment for cancer will causeto lose all my hair. However, | just want to
spend my last days looking beautiful.”
Vinson cforward to explain,”“l'm sure you're not aware that Arielle’s medical capabilities surpass many of the best doctors in
Jadeborough. As long as you're willing to let her examine you, you might still stand a chance.”
Nigel's eyes lit up as he decided to give it a go.
“Josee, why don't you let Arielle take a look? She hails from Jadeborough and who knows, she may be able to cure you.”
