Chapter 210
The city lights flickered across Luna’s face, accentuating her cool, distant beauty. Sebastian stared intently at the van ahead, his entire body radiating a palpable fury that made the air in the car thick with tension.
Luna felt it and scoffed. “Mr. Griffith, did you come to watch Ms. Sanders be humiliated?”
Sebastian’s brow furrowed. “What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Luna’s laugh was brittle. “This kind of vicious tactic has always been your favorite, isn’t it? Yours and the Scotts’.” TÊœe source of this á´„ontent ɪs
Sean quickly interjected, “Luna, you’ve got it wrong. Today had nothing to do with my boss. We were here to handle the incident at the bar.”
“Hmph. Without Sebastian’s indulgence, without that pack of ungrateful wolves from the Scott family, would Ms. Sanders be in this situation?” Luna’s voice trembled with suppressed rage. “Her husband emotionally abused her, her family despised her. She was so brilliant, yet she nearly destroyed herself for a so-called love and family that didn’t deserve her.”
“Sebastian, two years ago when you were blind, Ms. Sanders went there to find herbs for you. She risked her life scaling cliffs to get the best ones, nearly dying a dozen times. She almost got bitten by a venomous snake.”
“Did you really think your eyes could be healed after such a severe injury? The doctors had already given up on you, But Ms. Sanders wouldn’t let anyone tell you seart knows he was the one who got the report. Itwas Ms. Sanders who got the formula from her master. But even with the formula, the ingredients were rare, impossible to find in any ordinary pharmacy.”
“That day, we spent ten days on that Peak searching for those herbs. All she could think about was healing your eyes, healing your legs.”
“And your precious first love Luna trailed off, then added with biting sarcasm, “Ms. Sanders doesn’t need to be compared to anyone. Putting someone like Joanna in the same sentence as her is an insult. She has a clear conscience about everything she did for you.”
Sean’s memory clicked. “I remember now. I was taking care of Mr. Griffith during those ten days. Ms. Sanders said the old madam had found an excellent doctor, but he was eccentric and wouldn’t travebShe said she was going to persuade him and might be gone for about ten days. Was that it?”
Luna nodded curtly. “Yes. And it was the middle of winter. The mountain was three thousand meters high, the herbs buried under snow on cliffsides. I couldn’t recognize the herbs, so all I could do was make sure she ate. I hunted a wild boar to keep her energy up. One day, she went to the highest peak for the most crucial ingredient and was attacked by red wolves the barely escaped with her life, her hands covered in blood when she returned. The nights were freezing. We huddled together in a cave. And through it all, she held on to this sliver of hope that once you were better, you would finally fall in love with her.”
“The reason your eyes and legs healed so quickly, without any lasting damage, is because Ms. Sanders used the best medicine in the world-a lost secret formula that money can’t buy. Your vision is even better now than it was before.”
The things Ms. Sanders had done for Sebastian and the Scotts… it was a list far longer than just this. And all of them were ungrateful dogs.
