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 ateit, 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 uptoo! I can‘t 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 crossbowarrows.

Natalie shut herself in the room to make incense. Liliana was concerned about the progress and wouldoften come to visit her. Seeing that she was extremely concentrated on making incense, Liliana could nothide 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 Liliana‘s smile, she would feel upset.

“Dr. Nichols, when Josiah wakes up, I want to tell him that I like him.”

“You never told him that?” Natalie probed.

“Never..” Liliana smiled with tears in her eyes. “He said he wanted to take me far away, but I laughed athim for overestimating himself. He was always protecting me, but I never cherished what he had done forme and even mocked him for being nosy. However, when he was covered in blood, I could only watch ashe fell asleep.”

Initially, Natalie thought that Liliana and Josiah were deeply in love with each other. Little did she knowthat 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 familiesaround.

Thinking that love was troublesome and would restrain her from getting stronger, she shut Samuel out ofher 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 assemblecrossbows 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.

“Liliana, we‘ve already agreed that I‘ll only burn the incense and perform acupuncture when I see myfriend,” Natalie piped up.

“Of course.” Liliana nodded. “Milton, bring Ms. Fane here.”

“Yes.”

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. “Cecilia, I‘m sorry. It‘s all because of me.”

“There‘s no need to apologize. I know you‘ll save me.”

When Natalie was hugging Cecilia, she stuffed a pill into the pocket of the latter‘s clothes and said in alow volume that only they could hear, “Put this pill in your mouth later.”

“Okay.”

ter the let go of each other. Liliana uttered. –Dr. Nichols, you‘ve already seen your friend its your turn tohonor your promise.

No problem. Natalie glanced around and continued, “When I burn incense and perform acupuncture. Idon‘t like being disturbed. Except for you and my friend, please ask the rest to wait outside. Without ourorder, no one is allowed to come in.”

All right

Hence, Milton and the servants left the bedroom.

Under Liliana‘s 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.
