Love at the Wrong Table - Season 6 Episode 31

Sometimes, it was hard to tell what was right or wrong.

Sarah then put Amy to sleep. She was approachable, gentle, and patient. “We

should take it slow with Amy, Emmanuel,” Sarah said.

Emmanuel nodded. He asked, “So why are you here anyway? I saw your car

when I came, and I thought I was seeing things.”

Sarah smiled. Before she could say anything, Suri hurried over and answered,

“Miss Sarah’s here to find a herb for the madam. She’s a good daughter.”

“You’re here to look for a herb?” Emmanuel was surprised. “I see. So, what kind

of herb are you looking for? And how did you know this place has it?”

A smile curled Sarah’s lip. “I found out from Yeringhams‘ Healers‘ Association.

There’s botany here in the mountains, and they have a ton of herbs that can’t

be found anywhere else. Mom has always been afflicted by coughs and has

a weak constitution, so I’d like to get a Verdant Bloom for her.”

“Verdant Bloom?” Emmanuel frowned, but not because he hadn’t heard of it.

It was precisely for the opposite reason. Verdant Bloom was something

recorded in the medical books his mentor gave him. That plant belonged to a

world hidden from the public eye. In the mortal world, no doctor would have

heard of this plant, no matter which part of the world they were in. The fact

that Sarah found out meant her sources must be special.

Thinking that Emmanuel hadn’t heard of it before, Sarah said, “This isn’t

something recorded in most medical books. It’s alternative medicine. It’s

normal if you haven’t heard of it.”

Emmanuel smiled, but he didn’t explain himself. Instead, he asked, “So, have

you found it?”

“Not yet.” Sarah shook her head. “I’ve been here for days, but I have no idea

where the botany is.”

Emmanuel and Eve killed Bugsy off too soon. They should’ve asked him more

questions before that. Sarah was a gentle and smart girl. She knew what

Emmanuel was thinking, so she suggested, “We can ask Mrs. Hedge about it.

She has lived here for decades. Maybe she knows something.”

“Sure.” Emmanuel nodded.

They came back to Mrs. Hedge’s house, but she was equally dumbfounded

by the question. “A botany? I’ve been to every inch of these mountains, but

I’ve yet to see a botany.” Mrs. Hedge racked her brains.

Just when Emmanuel and Sarah thought they wouldn’t be able to get any

leads, Mrs. Hedge smacked the back of her head. “Perhaps it’s in North Star

Village’s center area.”

“The center area?” Emmanuel’s eyes shone. Bugsy stayed in North Star

Village. It’s possible his master’s in the same village too.

“So, what is the center area?” Sarah asked. That was Emmanuel’s question as

well.

Mrs. Hedge quickly answered, “Perhaps Bugsy would know. Villagers aren’t

allowed entrance into North Star Village. I hear that there’s a center area

there, and its path to the mountaintop is through there. I haven’t been there

before, so I can’t tell you much.”

Emmanuel and Eve exchanged a look. They wanted to go together. The Ghost

Doctor must have gone to the center area. A secret unknown to anyone was

hidden there.
