Long Distance Relationship
“The Mills?” Vinson frowned. “Queenie’s family?”
Arielle nodded. “Yes, that’s right. The rest of the family is different from her, though. They’re all simple
and honest people. Honestly, the medical manuscripts are like a cherry on the cake for me, so it’s not
that big of a deal if I can’t get them. But the Mills are so kind-hearted and simple-minded that they’re
easily fooled.”
Vinson didn’t quite understand. “But what do the Mills have to do with us? Even if they end up being
fooled, it’s just a bunch of medical manuscripts. Why are you trying so hard to become the next head of
their family?”
“Arielle shook her head. “You don’t understand. Even one of my former mentors talked about that book
before. Not only does it teach you how to cure many complicated diseases, but it also contains
instructions on how to make an array of deadly poisons. These poisons are so harmful that even I
wouldn’t be able to find a cure for them in a short period of time.”
“Poisons?”
“Yes.”
If the medical manuscripts were to fall into the hands of the wicked, those poisons could be used to
harm others.
This isn’t just about the medical manuscripts anymore. It concerns the life of many other people.
At the thought of this, Vinson knew he couldn’t stop Arielle from taking part in the Mill family’s important
occasion.
The medical manuscripts would only be safe in her hands.
“The truth is…” Arielle paused briefly before continuing, “The first thing I’d do if I were to become the
head of the Mills is to destroy all the poison manuals. If such guides continue to exist, people will only
keep trying to get their hands on the book for evil reasons.”
“I understand,” Vinson responded. “Go. Leave this place to me. Everything will be fine with me keeping
watch. By the way, how long will you be gone for?”
“At least three days, according to the Mill family’s oldest son.”
“That long?” A reluctant Vinson tucked a strand of the woman’s hair behind her ear. “Can I secretly
drop by and see you at night?”
“No, you cannot do that!”
Vinson was evidently disappointed. “Fine. Looks like we’ll be in another long-distance relationship.”
He had finally gotten to see his wife after returning from Lightspring. But now, they were going to be
apart again.
The man sighed. “Take Sasha with you. I heard Queenie has woken up. The car accident happened all
because Donovan ran out of Maxwell University like a madman after getting expelled, and she went
after him. I guess both of them hate you so much that they can’t wait to get rid of you now.”
Arielle smirked. “Don’t worry. I won’t let that happen.”
She was heading over for the medical manuscripts, not to get involved with Donovan and Queenie.
But if they were planning to do something to her again, she wasn’t going to let them off this time.
Vinson grinned as he noticed the woman’s expression. “Now I’m starting to worry a little.”
Arielle turned to him in confusion. “Why? Are you worried that they might plan something against me?”
“No.” Vinson shook his head. “I’m worried about them not being able to escape your clutches.”
Arielle shrugged. “I don’t attack unless I’m being attacked. If they do anything to get on my nerves, I’ll
make them regret being alive.”
Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I last attended a funeral…
