“They’re dealing with drugs, so you must be extra cautious,” Arielle reminded him grimly as she leaned against his
chest.
This trip is extremely risky.
Cognizant of Arielle’s concern, Vinson lowered his head to kiss her on the cheek. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
No sooner had he spoken than he looked out the window. Noticing that it was getting late, he knew it was time for
him to go.
He let Arielle go, stood up, and got himself dressed. Right before he left, he turned around abruptly and cupped her
head with his hands before sealing her lips with a passionate kiss.
“Take care. I need to go now.”
“Watch yourself out there,” Arielle reminded, reluctant to see him go.

also filled with hope.
As long as Vinson could leave the island, he would be able to find an opportunity to escape and come back to
rescue her and Lorraine.
Although Abigail has agreed to take me off this island, who knows if she’ll keep her word. Thus, it’s better to have
two plans running concurrently.
The next morning, Vinson set off with the delegation at dawn. As for Arielle, she gave her sheets a wash before
heading out to shop for the herbs. She had wanted to purchase some herbs for Abigail’s treatment.
Due to his confidence in Arielle’s inability to leave the island, Micah, in extreme generosity, gave her a card with
two hundred million inside.
As it was impossible to do anything without money, Arielle accepted the card for practical reasons.
Meanwhile, just as she was leaving the shop selling herbs, she suddenly noticed a green potted plant at the corner
of the entrance. The discovery caused her eyes to light up.
This is something really useful. I must ask the boss whether he’s willing to sell it to me.
Although Arielle had just arrived for a few days, everyone on the island knew that she was Micah’s lover. As a result,
the vendor, without hesitation, gifted her the potted plant.
Not wanting to get anything for free, Arielle swiped her card and paid the vendor the plant’s actual worth. After
buying a few more herbs, she returned to the mansion with the plant and everything else she had purchased.
Upon her return, the housekeeper hurried forward to take the plant off her hands.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were going out? I could’ve come with you and helped you carry your stuff.”
“I’m fine doing so myself.” Just as she spoke, Arielle went off to concoct a medication for Abigail.
Once she was done, she had the housekeeper deliver it over.

with acupuncture.”
Under the impression that Arielle was trying to curry favor with Abigail, the housekeeper joyfully headed to Abigail’s
apartment with the medication.
Once she was gone, Arielle carried the plant and the rest of the herbs she bought back into her room. Half an hour
later, she had turned them into a sachet of medicinal powder.
Staring at it, she mumbled, “I hope I’ll never have to use you.”
The sachet was only to be used under desperate circumstances.
The next evening, Arielle headed out for a stroll after dinner. The housekeeper wanted to accompany her but was
rejected, for Arielle felt as if she was being watched if there was someone by her side.
As she walked alone underneath the setting sun, she tossed her hair in the air when a gentle breeze blew across
her face. She stared in the direction of the harbor, and her eyes were filled with concern for Vinson.
Just as she was thinking of him, Vinson was staring in a particular direction with a darkened gaze.
