Chapter 2161

He was worried that there would be no opportunity for him to understand Gale's background. If Baby Robbie were to make such a fuss, perhaps Gale would let the cat out of the bag. The battle between Baby Robbie and Gale could be considered marvelously brilliant.

Baby Robbie had been a genius in martial arts ever since he was a child. Plus, his martial arts skills were outstanding as he inherited and further innovated them, making them filled with his own quirks.

In this world, Baby Robbie's martial arts skills were considered extremely rare.

However, Gale's martial arts skills were definitely not inferior to Baby Robbie's.

Although his movements were not as unpredictable as Baby Robbie's, he could pick up plants and shoot them at his opponents. The power and speed were comparable to a gunshot.

Since the two had their own fighting styles, they realized they were both an equal match after a round of fighting.

Cole walked toward Jay and analyzed the situation, saying, "I thought that Baby Robbie was already an

extremely rare martial arts prodigy. I never expected Gale to not give in as well. We could probably withstand Baby Robbie for at least a few hundred rounds, but Gale, on the other hand... perhaps thousands."

Jay said, "You're wrong. Gale's skills are still completely hidden. It's still unknown whether he's above or below Baby Robbie."

Zayne suddenly extended his head over. He looked at Cole and then at Jay, saying, "Sir Ares, this is wrong. Baby Robbie is your own son, so how can you favor outsiders instead?"

Zayne's words were getting more and more unruly as he added, "Perhaps you're already treating Gale as your grandson?"

Jay's expression was extremely gloomy. "It won't hurt you to keep your mouth shut."

Zayne merely felt that Jay's kindness toward Gale and Winter was abnormally strange.

After Gale and Baby Robbie used up hundreds of moves, Baby Robbie abruptly stopped the fight. "Stop, let's stop here!"

Gale looked at Baby Robbie suspiciously and asked," Why?"

Baby Robbie rubbed his belly and said, "I'm hungry and I'm out of strength."

Gale said, "Alright. Let's continue after our meal."

Baby Zetty came out holding a couple of sandwiches and passed them over to Baby Robbie enthusiastically, saying, "Have a sandwich, Baby Robbie."

Baby Robbie glared at her while huffing and walked away without accepting her affectionate gesture.

Baby Zetty knew that Baby Robbie must have misunderstood her after listening to Zayne's foolish words. She felt utterly uncomfortable about it in her heart. Gale came over. He grabbed a sandwich and ate it while comforting Baby Zetty, saying, "If he doesn't want it, I'll take it."

The misunderstanding had caused Baby Robbie and the others to distance themselves from Baby Zetty.

Baby Zetty knew that she was merely faced with two options at that moment. She could either expose her identity or keep it secret and leave them here. That night, Baby Zetty struggled with her thoughts.

She had given it a lot of thought, but ultimately, her strong self-esteem was the thing that prevailed.

She thought that since Baby Robbie and Daddy had come to Sacred Land, it would not be long until Brother Finn showed up by her side.

She was most reluctant to let Brother Finn see such a n ugly and old side of her.

Therefore, Baby Zetty woke Gale up and quietly left the

cave on this dark night with him.

The next day.

When Jay woke up and saw that Baby Zetty was gone, he started looking for her anxiously.

"Winter?

"Winter?"

Zayne and Baby Robbie watched as Jay went mad with expressionless faces.

When Jay failed to locate Baby Zetty, he went back and screamed bloody murder at Zayne, "This is all your fault, you absolutely disgraceful bastard! Your entire head is filled with nothing but filth and you've driven Winter away! Who's going to save Grayson now? Who will save Andy?!"

Zayne initially felt that he had gotten himself into trouble and his complexion was extremely ashen.

However, Jay suddenly exclaimed, "If anything happens to Winter, I'll make sure you're next!"

Zayne was furious upon hearing this.

Chapter 2162

Chapter 2162

Zayne clenched his fists and roared back at Jay." Enough is enough, Jay Ares! How old do you think you are right now? Are you still so confused?! As a married man, you should be keeping a distance from all members of the opposite sex. Why are you so particularly attentive toward Winter? What's the meaning of all of this?"

Jay was losing his breath out of anger and scoffed." You're the one with a head filled with filth. You're constantly cynical of one's courtesy. I'm not talking to you about this any longer. Now, dispatch everyone and tell them to locate Winter!"

"That woman is old enough to be your mother. All of us call her 'Granny', yet you're the only person here who calls her 'Lady Winter'. Who will believe you if you tell us that you have zero affection for her?" Zayne yelled out.

Baby Robbie merely sat on the side. His face appeared sullen and he said nothing in retort. He was obviously disheartened with Daddy at the moment.

At this time, Roxie ran out from the cave while holding a bundle wrapped in cloth. She handed it over to Jay and said, "Granny Winter left this behind for you, Daddy."

Jay took it and hesitated to open it.

Zayne started chirping again. "Open it. There shouldn't be anything shameful inside, right?"

Jay glared at him and had to open the bundle in public to prove his and Baby Zetty's innocence.

There were packs of pre-packaged medicinal herbs that were specially for Grayson and Andy. Baby Zetty had also left a letter with instructions on the usage of the medicinal herbs.

Jay saw the graceful and tidy handwriting on the letter. He could tell that it was certainly Baby Zetty's penmanship.

After he folded the letter, he carefully kept it inside his pocket.

Zayne fumingly barked out, "Hey, Jay Ares, can't you show the letter to everyone?"

Jay rolled his eyes and proceeded to ignore him.

Zayne started scolding Jay with intentions to provoke him, "Do you have a guilty conscience or something? I've always known that there was something going on between the two of you. You're still not admitting it?"

However, no matter how much Zayne insulted Jay, Jay refused to give him the time of day.

It was not that he refused to get rid of the misunderstanding. After all, if he were to clear it, he could finally acknowledge Baby Zetty as his baby girl again and grandiosely protect her.

However, during this period of time, he had been thinking of the reason why Baby Zetty ended up so old. Then, he wisely came to a conclusion. Progeria was rare and none of the Areses or Severes had ever gotten such a disease in history. Hence, the chances of Baby Zetty getting progeria were simply next to nothing.

Moreover, Boye had always been chased after and Baby Zetty's current identity as Boye's only successor made her a target. If Baby Zetty's true identity was revealed, she might end up having the same fate as Boye. She would never be at peace for the rest of her life.

Hence, Baby Zetty's progeria was the best disguise she could have.

That was the reason why Jay was so carefully guarding Baby Zetty's secret.

Baby Robbie turned around silently and entered the cave.

Zayne continued, "Even your son can't stand you anymore. Yet you're still not going to repent, Jay Ares?"

Jay was simply speechless at the moment.

At the same time, Baby Zetty and Gale were trekking through the jungle. Baby Zetty was feeling utterly depressed after leaving her father and brother.

Gale continuously comforted her, saying, "Don't be so sad. You'll meet them again someday by chance."

Baby Zetty suddenly remembered the deep, affectionate words Daddy had said to her. She exclaimed, "Gale, I want to do research on how to cure my progeria. Can you help me?"

Gale stopped and looked at Baby Zetty, saying, "Tell me what you need. I'll definitely help you."

Baby Zetty said, "I'd need some laboratory equipment."

Gale gave it a thought and said, "That's not going to be easy. Let's borrow the local doctors' laboratories."

Baby Zetty's eyes widened in astonishment. "They'll kill us."

Gale said, "Don't be silly. We'll sneak into their territory and live nearby the area. Once they fall asleep at night, we'll go in and do some experiments."

Baby Zetty timidly clutched her neck and said, "It sounds very risky."

Chapter 2163

Chapter 2163

Gale looked at Baby Zetty and said with a smile, "Don't forget that you're the most powerful healer there is. And you can defeat countless enemies." Baby Zetty frowned as she pondered over Gale's words.

Seeing how perplexed she was, Gale explained with a smile, "You're kind and you bear no harmful thoughts toward other people. That's why you find it difficult to understand my words. But if you were a little bi more vicious, you would've easily grasped my meaning. Healers who use poison to harm others are untraceable. It's a hidden weapon that no other enemies out there can withstand."

Baby Zetty had a sudden realization and she quickly waved her hands around. She stated her stance on this very firmly, saying, "I'm a healer. I'll not harm others, I'll only heal them."

Gale smiled lightly, and his deep, unfathomable pupils looked straight at the vast sky. He suddenly sighed and said, "Granny, the world is a big place. The places where the sun doesn't shine are the places you've never been to before. In order to live in that world, harming others is also considered saving them and vice versa."

Baby Zetty was stunned. For the first time, she

suddenly felt that Gale was not at all a simple child.

He was someone who had gone through plenty of experiences in life.

"Harming someone is to save them? And saving them is causing them harm?" Baby Zetty's IQ could not grasp the meaning behind these sentences at all. It was making her frown deeply. Gale smiled and said, "You'll understand sooner or later."

Baby Zetty said, "No, no, no. I'll never step foot in such a dark world."

Gale explained, "There are some things that we simply can't choose."

At this moment, there were sounds of a fierce battle not far away from them. Baby Zetty and Gale looked at each other, their expressions appearing taut.

Gale took Baby Zetty by the arm and they hid inside the jungle. The two of them used their hands to push aside the branches of a green bush and looked toward the direction of the sounds.

They saw that there was a small spacious and empty flat land up in front. Two groups of people were battling it out ferociously. One group was wearing the clothes of the Sacred Land's natives while the other group was wearing the uniforms of Ghost members.

Jenson was currently standing on the Ghost members' side while his deep pair of eyes were fixed on the

enemy.

When Baby Zetty laid her eyes on them, her heart was almost jumping out of her chest. Her gaze shifted across all of the Ghost members' faces and ultimately fell on Finn's face. Her eyes were instantly in

tears.

After not seeing him for a couple of years, Brother Finn seemed to have gotten even more mature. His masculine air was making him exude an infinite amount of charm.

Baby Zetty originally thought that after three years of not seeing him, she would have let go of the unreciprocated love she had for him. However, after seeing Finn once more, she realized that she had merely been keeping her memories of Finn deep down inside her heart. It was akin to wine buried underground, which became richer as time passed.

Baby Zetty's mood changes were so obvious that Gale very curiously had to ask, "Is there anyone you fancy over there?"

Baby Zetty was extremely baffled.

Her old face flushed red and she bashfully said, "What are you talking about, kiddo? I have one foot in the grave right now. How could I still fancy anyone?" Gale said, "Don't lie to me. You're blushing."

Baby Zetty touched her face and said, "It's not. Have you ever seen an 80-year-old woman being shy? It's just the humidity."

Gale smiled and said, "You're such a cute old lady."

Baby Zetty glared at him and said, "And you're still a little kid. Do you even know the feeling of liking someone? Stop laughing at me."

The smile on Gale's face instantly froze.

His bright star-like pupils seemed to have been shrouded by a layer of sadness.

He genuinely hoped that he did not understand the meaning of love. That way, perhaps he would have lived a free and unruly life in the past few years.

Baby Zetty glanced at Gale. She had cured Gale's stomach issue, and ever since they embarked on this journey together, the kid was getting bigger each day.

Moreover, his face had become a little meatier as well. He turned out to be a very handsome and gorgeous young man.

Chapter 2164

Chapter 2164

Baby Zetty teased Gale and said, "Once we leave Sacred Land, I'll introduce you to a nice girlfriend."

At first, she was merely using a joking tone, but it quickly became very solemn for some reason. She changed the topic and said, "Gale, I don't know how much longer I can live. But if I die, I'll worry about you. You're so young yet you have no parents and live a lonesome life. I'm wondering if I could carve out a path for you now."

Gale said, "Don't say such nonsense. You'll surely live a long life. A kind doctor like you is a national treasure. I'll definitely protect you with all my might."

Baby Zetty suddenly became utterly depressed. Her voice sounded extremely distressed when she said," Sir Ares has asked me to research the cure for my progeria, but I truly have no leads for it. I'm truly afraid that I won't have an antidote for it until the day I die of old age."

Gale was a person who used actions to solve his problems. Regarding Baby Zetty's pessimism, Gale could only comfort her while saying, "Don't be so impatient. I'll help you look for a laboratory at night." After a pause, there was a spark in Gale's eyes. Perhaps it was to motivate Baby Zetty to continue

living or he was merely speaking out his inner thoughts, he suddenly muttered, "I'm still waiting for you to introduce me to my future wife."

Baby Zetty looked at Gale. Seeing the kid who seemed to still be wet behind his ears talking about a wife without his face flushing, she ridiculed, "Have you no shame?"

Gale said, "A love between a man and a woman is human nature. What's there to be ashamed of?"

Baby Zetty thought it over and a gleam of light suddenly appeared in her eyes. She asked him enthusiastically, "I think all of the nice girls in the world are certainly the daughters of the Ares family. They're most suited to be wives. The Ares family is a wealthy family and Sir Ares and his madam are both loving parents. The children raised with their upbringing are naturally sentimental in terms of feelings. Gale, you've met quite a few of the Ares family's daughters. Tell me, do you fancy any of them?"

The faces of all of the military intelligence division sisters flashed across Gale's mind. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Do the Ares family have other daughters?"

Baby Zetty smiled and said, "Yes. But the last one is a baby. Don't count on it."

Gale's eyes were shining brilliantly as he asked her excitedly, "How old is she?"

Baby Zetty said, "She's four."

Gale's eyes were concealing a grin. His grave and stern face seemed to have been shrouded by the blazing sun. It had become much gentler.

"She's indeed too young." There was a different meaning to Gale's sentence.

The two chatted passionately and they had even forgotten about the fight. When they returned to their senses, they discovered that the sounds of battle had disappeared.

Baby Zetty stood up in a daze and looked all around her. Where were Finn and Jenson?

Seeing her in utter despair, Gale said, "If you're unwilling to part from him, how about going after him instead?"

Baby Zetty stomped on Gale's feet, making him grab them while wailing out loud. "You're so vicious!"

Baby Zetty pointed at her nose and asked him, "Take a look at my face. It's changing every single day and I'm only getting older. Yet you're asking me to go and pursue love? Even if you're shameless, I'm not." Gale said, "Well, you said it yourself that you're old and your days are numbered. Since you like him so much, you must be hoping to spend the last moments of your life with him, right? He's not going to recognize you anyway. Just appear in front of him like you did with Sir Ares and keep a comfortable distance away from him. You get to see him every day, but you wouldn't be hurt by his indifference. Doesn't that sound like a

pretty good plan?" 1

Baby Zetty was confused now

Chapter 2165

Chapter 2165

After seeing Finn, Baby Zetty's deathly still heart was beating once more. It was as if the memories that had been sealed in her heart many years ago were torn open, and all of them came pouring back out again.

She still remembered that when she was eight years old, the year Daddy was forced to split from Mommy because of Doomsday and when her two brothers were sent away, she was entrusted to Brother Finn...

Brother Finn had fought against plenty of troops to rescue her from Doomsday. He had been covered with wounds and was on his dying breath. Even when confronting death in the hospital, he had never once let go of her hand.

In those few years when Mommy was in poor health, Brother Finn had been her family who meticulously took care of her.

At that time, although she was young, her love for him had already stubbornly sprouted. At the same time, she had sworn to herself that she would marry Brother Finn in this lifetime.

However, Brother Finn could not seem to shift from his role as her family member. He could not bring himself to accept her feelings.

At that time, Baby Zetty had thought that when she grew up and became a young woman, Brother Finn would be moved by her unswerving love.

Nonetheless, things were always unpredictable, after all.

Baby Zetty stretched out her hand and looked at her saggy and deeply wrinkled skin. Soon after, tears were streaming down her face.

Baby Zetty told Gale, "It's not that I don't want to see him, but I know that when I see him, it'll cause nothing but worries and troubles. He's not going to love me back, and I hope the Baby Zetty in his heart will remain to be the Baby Zetty who was at the prime of her life."

Gale looked up at the dark cloudy sky and said, "I know that people who love each other but can't be together will have endless regrets."

Baby Zetty stood up, seemingly determined to not meet Finn ever again. She resolutely said, "Let's go."

Gale held her hand as they walked forward.

However, right after they turned around and walked for a short while, they suddenly saw a group of people sitting on the hinterland of the mountain.

Gale smiled and said, "Granny, it seems like your destiny with him isn't over just yet."

Baby Zetty took a closer look and realized that it was her brother Jenson and the Ghost members.

Although Jenson and the Ghost members had impressive combat skills and massacred the enemies earlier, the other party was still experts in the art of poison. The group must have lost their strength after walking for a while.

Jenson must have ordered them to take a rest.

He wanted their doctor to check on the type of poison in their system, but who would have thought that it was a rare poison that the doctor could not do anything about?

Now, Jenson, Finn, and the others were simply up the creek without a paddle.

Gale teased, "Granny, they seem to have been poisoned. You're not going to stand around and do nothing, are you?"

However, Baby Zetty said, "Gale, you go ahead and diagnose them. If you're certain you can detoxify the poison, then do it. But if you're unsure what kind of poison it is, tell me the results of your findings and I'll tell you what you should do."

She was determined not to show her face.

Gale pitied Baby Zetty very much when he heard her decision. He smacked his lips and said, "This is the most regrettable thing in the world. The person you love the most is right by your side, yet you can't go over to see him."

Baby Zetty urged, "Just go. Quickly."

Gale jumped out of the green bushes and swaggered toward the hinterland.

When Jenson and the others saw Gale, they were very wary of the sudden appearance of the child. After all, since Gale had not spoken, they could only regard him as a local who was proficient in the art of poison.

"Were you poisoned?" Gale approached Jenson.

Jenson nodded.

Gale said, "Perhaps I can lend you a hand."

Jenson said, "Are you a healer or a poisoner?"

Gale glanced at Baby Zetty, who was hiding in the bushes, and said, "A real healer who can cure hundreds of types of poisons as well."

 

Chapter 2166

Chapter 2166

Gale and Baby Zetty had gone through long days of hardships hand in hand. Gale had nothing but admiration for Baby Zetty's boundless love for everyone and everything.

He was not a simple-minded teenager, and there were plenty of dark memories in his mind. He was someone who understood human nature. The majority of people were simply egoists. However, Baby Zetty was different from them.

Although she was young, inside her weak and old body was a tough yet stubborn heart. Facing the dying wish of her mentor, Baby Zetty escaped her enemies' pursuit and trekked across the mountains to reach Sacred Land.

Baby Zetty disregarded her own benefits in the face of sickly patients. She selflessly dedicated her superb skills and even gave medicines to patients without asking for anything in return. Therefore, when Jenson asked him whether he was a healer or a poisoner, Gale knew that he was trying to know his nature. What Jenson truly wanted to know was whether or not Gale was evil. This question was difficult for Gale to answer.

It was because he used to be diabolical, impulsive, and bloodthirsty. However, after being with Baby Zetty, he had abandoned that life and began to save the world instead.

Gale was able to give Jenson an affirmative answer after a short moment of pondering.

He was well-versed in poison, but he also practiced medicine.

Just like his state of mind at the moment, which was peacefully drifting on the edge of good and evil. He longed for someone to redeem him, but contradictorily, he also thought about going back to the past and settling all those grievances and grudges.

Jenson smiled, stretched out a hand, and said," Thanks for the trouble."

Gale was slightly startled. Jenson's trust in him was rather surprising for him.

He had heard that the Ares men were simply cunning and two-faced. The first time Jay saw him, he was immediately aware of his unusual identity, so he had tested him again and again.

Afterward, Baby Bobbie took an opportunity to challenge him and the style he used was something he had invented. Every move was vicious, and he dreaded that it may force him to show his true colors. Thinking of Baby Robbie, Gale had to marvel at the child's martial arts talent. When Gale was at Baby

Robbie's age, he was far less skilled than him.

As for Jenson, he somehow trusted him so quickly...

The attitudes of the three Ares men toward him-which was Jay's doubt, Baby Robbie's hostility, and Jenson's friendliness-made it hard for him to deal with this.

Gale could only take it one step at a time.

He copied Baby Zetty's methods and took Jenson's pulse. Then, he pretended to be deep in thought as he said, "There's a cure for this poison but it seems like I don't have enough materials with me at the moment. Wait for me while I go and gather some medicinal herbs for you."

Afterward, Gale walked toward Baby Zetty's hiding place.

"Granny, the poisoned patients' lips are black and their bodies appear weak. Their pulses aren't strong either, they're barely beating. It's quite similar to the poison we encountered with that Poison Granny before," Gale reported.

Baby Zetty became more anxious and said, "That's troubling."

Gale asked a question despite knowing the answer," How so?"

Baby Zetty answered, "Because this poison will require my Silver Needle Technique."

Baby Zetty did not want to go out there and face Finn.

She shifted her gaze to Gale instead.

Gale said, "Don't even think about it. We can't joke around with needles. One wrong prick and I'll kill someone."

Baby Zetty was at a loss.

Gale said, "Granny, they're your family and friends. You must not want anything to happen to them, right? In my opinion, it'd be better if you heal them on your own."

Baby Zetty was walking round and round anxiously. "I don't mind going if it were any other people. But my eldest brother Jenson is a genius. I'm afraid he'll recognize me." Gale asked, "Who's smarter? Him or your dad?" 1

Baby Zetty replied, "I'm afraid they each have their own merits."

Chapter 2167

Chapter 2167

Gale said, "The Ares family's men are all gentlemen. Jenson wouldn't stare at a lady's face for so long. If you put on a disguise, he'll definitely fail to recognize you."

Baby Zetty, "You're right. One can no longer see a trace of a young girl's appearance on my face anymore. But these eyes still show a semblance of my child self. As long as I put on a little eye makeup, they'll definitely fail to recognize me."

As she spoke, Baby Zetty took out some colored powder from her bag and used it for eye shadow. She quickly concealed the original shape of her eyes.

Gale said, "This is practically magic! They'll never be able to recognize you now."

Baby Zetty was overjoyed as if there was a mask on her face that was concealing her identity. She no longer felt like she was herself, so she confidently and boldly walked toward Jenson and the others. Jenson could see Gale holding onto an old grandma from a distance away as she hobbled toward them. His pupils turned darker as he nudged Finn next to him, saying, "Do you see the grandma?" Finn shifted his gaze toward Jenson's line of sight

and saw an old grandma with gray hair whose back was hunched over as she staggered over.

He narrowed his eyes and vigilantly said, "At such an age, it must be getting harder for her to get anywhere, not to mention climbing a mountain. This grandma must be a local here."

Jenson nodded and replied, "The locals here are all filled with hostility against us. We all need to be on high alert."

"Yes, sir."

At this moment, Gale and Baby Zetty had already arrived in front of Jenson. Baby Zetty shifted her eyes that were brimming with guilt from Jenson to Finn, and her heart started beating rapidly from looking at the familiar face.

Gale took the initiative to introduce them, "This is my grandma. Her name is Winter."

Jenson was confused by this. Hearing Gale's accent, he was clearly not someone from Sacred Land, so his grandma should not be a local as well. How did she manage to climb up such a tall mountain, then? Finn asked, "Is Granny Winter one of the locals here?"

Baby Zetty immediately started coughing.

For Brother Finn to call her 'Granny', it made her feel as though there was a huge age gap between them and it instantly extinguished all of the delusions she had about him.

"Me? Of course, I'm not a local here."

"How did you climb to such a high altitude then, Granny Winter?" Finn interrogated.

Baby Zetty was stunned, but she answered Finn's question in total honesty, "Surely, I had to climb up here with my own two feet. But of course, when we come across a steeper place, I'd have to use my hands as well."

Finn was stunned by her answer.

Baby Zetty's rashness did not seem to be compatible with her age. On the contrary, she resembled a teenage girl who was innocent and guileless.

Gale helped Baby Zetty out of her predicament and said, "My granny is here to help you with the poison. But if you question her ability, I don't think there's a need for us to help you anymore."

Finn looked straight into Baby Zetty's eyes and they were flickering, overflowing with a guilty conscience.

Finn smiled at her and replied, "Then, please do it on me first, Granny."

He looked like a hero who was gallant and filled with vigor to meet his demise.

Baby Zetty very slowly walked toward Finn. She was extremely nervous as Finn's eyes were locked on her face. He definitely had his guard up against her.

She stretched out her hand and gently picked up

Finn's arm to check his pulse.

Finn was still fixing his gaze on her. If Baby Zetty's expression were to change even the slightest, Finn would strike first.

Due to his blatant staring, Baby Zetty kept feeling like she had ants in her pants.

"Since the poison in the body is still in your epidermis, we can use acupuncture treatment."

After Baby Zetty said this, Gale handed her a silver needle.

Chapter 2168

Chapter 2168

Finn's vigilant gaze shifted from her face toward the silver needle. He had never seen anyone using such a method to cure someone from poison before. Just as her needle pierced into the top layer of Finn's epidermis, he quickly used his strength to shake it out.

"What on earth are you doing?" Baby Zetty stared at Finn with widened eyes.

Finn scoffed at her coldly. "What kind of detoxifying method is this?"

Baby Zetty was in between laughter and tears.

"So you're afraid that I'll do something to harm you? Don't worry about it. I wouldn't hurt you. How could I be willing to hurt you..."

Seeing the startled look in Finn and Jenson's eyes, Baby Zetty felt that she had said something wrong. She hurriedly added another word, "...guys."

Then, she tried covering it up further and said something that made matters worse, "I'm a healer, and it's my mission in life to cure patients."

Finn did not believe her and said, "I notice that flickering in your eyes. You're filled with a guilty conscience, so you must not be a good person." Baby Zetty,

Gale was unable to restrain a smile.

Baby Zetty opened her mouth in astonishment, and it took her quite some time to come back to her senses.

She felt extremely aggrieved by this.

She was clearly the person who loved him the most in this world. How could she be misunderstood in such a manner?

"Young man, an old woman like me is kind enough to lend you a hand here, yet you're suspecting my kind intentions." Baby Zetty's mouth might be uttering such disdainful words, yet her actions still showed otherwise.

She spent a good amount of time feeling his pulse and could understand Finn's physical condition in full detail by now. "Hey, it seems like you have pent-up frustrations. Do you have something on your mind, young man?"

Finn pulled his hand back, a guilty look flashing across his face.

Baby Zetty decided to give Finn a taste of his own medicine and said, "Your eyes are flickering. Perhaps you have a guilty conscience as well?"

Finn glared at her fiercely. "Do healers like to use their profession to spy on other people's secret thoughts?"

Baby Zetty innocently asked him, "What kind of secrets do you have?"

Finn's secret was none other than that he had been missing a young girl like crazy for the past three years.

However, it was not something he could utter out loud. After all, he was the one who had cruelly pushed her away all those years ago. He regretted his decision a lot at this moment.

When Finn's mind shifted elsewhere for a moment, Baby Zetty pierced a silver needle into his body almost as fast as lightning.

Once Finn recovered his senses, he stood up exasperatedly.

"Take that out right now!"

His anger-filled heart caused the poisonous substance in his body to spurt right out.

Baby Zetty said, "Done."

Finn instantly felt refreshed.

He looked at Baby Zetty suspiciously and said in disbelief, "That's all it takes to detoxify the poison?"

He was under the impression that he needed to take medicine day after day to eliminate the poison from his body. Unexpectedly, Baby Zetty could solve the problem with a single silver needle. Baby Zetty nodded and said, "Yeah. It's done."

Finn could feel the strength in his body returning as if he could almost fully recover. He suddenly thought to himself how magical and amazing this treatment was.

Finn said to Jenson, "I'm healed!"

Then, Jenson respectfully said to Baby Zetty, "Granny, will you please help my other brothers with their poison as well?"

Baby Zetty walked toward Jenson and said, "I'll treat you first."

While Jenson was getting the treatment, he started making discreet inquiries with ulterior motives. "Your medical skills are impressive, Granny. May I ask when did you start practicing medicine?" Baby Zetty blurted out, "At the age of 15."

Jenson seemed to have become slightly despondent and said somewhat emotionally, "My sister was 15 when she started studying medicine as well."

Baby Zetty's needle started trembling in her hand.

Jenson's pupils shrank when he noticed the slight tremor in her hand.

Baby Zetty warned him, "If you distract me again, don't go blaming it all on me when I poke the wrong spot."

Chapter 2169

Chapter 2169

Jenson quickly sat upright and still.

After Baby Zetty did the treatment for him, she also wanted to know more about Jenson's physical condition and patiently checked his pulse. After fumbling around and asking questions, she said in satisfaction "Hmm, not bad. You don't have any illness or anxiety. It seems like you've been living well for the past few years."

Jenson looked at her and felt that Baby Zetty's words were a little weird. It was as if they knew each other in the past.

Jenson's profound and unfathomable pupils were locked on Baby Zetty's face. Seeing the powder on her eyes, Jenson suspiciously asked, "Did you put something on your eyes, Granny?"

Baby Zetty quickly let go of Jenson's hand and said with a guilty conscience, "Even an old granny such as myself likes dolling up like any young lady. We women can't change our nature of showing off our good looks no matter our age."

Jenson was someone who could figure out even the slightest detail, so he said, "I think we seem to be talking about two different things here."

Baby Zetty was dumbfounded.

It was as if Jenson's discerning eyes could see through her little lies.

Baby Zetty said, "You're such a handsome young man, so wouldn't it be such a shame if you come to like an old grandma like me?"

Jenson blushed upon hearing Baby Zetty's words and quickly turned his head away to shift his gaze.

Baby Zetty secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly ran toward the other Ghost members and treated the rest of them.

Even though she had carefully treated Finn and Jenson, she was rather perfunctory when it was the others' turn. Her only goal was to detoxify them, and she left out the process of checking their pulse and interrogating them entirely.

Once everyone was cured of their poison, Jenson proceeded to thank Baby Zetty, saying, "Thank you, Granny, for saving our lives."

Baby Zetty said, "You should show some sincerity if you're thanking me. Shouldn't you treat me to a meal, perhaps? My stomach is grumbling from hunger." She truly missed the food from Imperial Capital and she knew that they had brought some food with them. Hence, she made such a request.

Jenson gave Finn a look and Finn took out a bag of biscuits from his bag, seemingly unwilling to hand it over. He hesitated for a long time before giving it to Baby Zetty.

"This is for you."

Baby Zetty's eyes started shining brightly as this was her favorite snack.

However...

A big man like Finn, who had never eaten such snacks before, was actually keeping this sort of food on such a long journey?

Baby Zetty teased him, "Oh my. These are biscuits for little children, right? Why is a big man such as yourself eating snacks for kids?"

Finn fumingly retorted, "Either take it and eat it or go hungry."

Jenson explained, "The snack isn't for us. We were originally keeping it for my sister. But we haven't heard any news about her along the way, so that's why... the snack is being given to you now." Only then did Baby Zetty learn that Jenson and Finn had been looking for her.

Gale did not want them to run around like headless chickens all over the place and decided to provide them with some clues. He asked, "What's your sister's name? Perhaps we can help you?" Finn said, "She's from Imperial Capital as well, about this tall. She has a round face that's very cute."

Baby Zetty was dumbfounded at this.

It seemed like she was still the little girl from three years ago in Brother Finn's heart. She had obviously grown taller in the past three years, and her face had gotten thinner. It was oval-shaped now. Her eyes had gotten bigger as well, and she looked more and more like her mommy, Angeline. Well, if she was not suffering from progeria, that was.

"I've seen her before," said Gale abruptly.

Baby Zetty was so startled that she almost stretched her hand out to cover Gale's mouth. Fortunately, Gale hurriedly continued with the following words, "I met a young healer back when I was in Serpent Land who seems very similar to the girl you just described. But I don't know her name and I only know that she's Boye's apprentice."

Finn was thrilled to hear this. "She's in Serpent Land?"

Gale mischievously said, "Not anymore. Mr. Boye's laboratory exploded and no one survived. There's a high probability that she died in the explosion." As soon as Gale said this, the entire troop of Ghost members was horrified.

"How could that be?"

Jenson tremblingly stood up. The look on his handsome face was full of unbearably mourning.

Finn was simply unable to accept this grievous news and began to roar frantically, "That's impossible! She's not dead! She won't die!"

Baby Zetty glared at Gale fumingly, blaming him for making such a horrid joke.

Seeing Jenson and Finn mourning for her 'death', Baby Zetty hurriedly tried to pacify the situation by saying, "Don't go believing in my grandson's words. That's all just a rumor. Frankly speaking, we're not from Serpent Land. We merely passed through that area and heard of Boye's legend. The things my grandson said are just a part of it."

Gale laughed and said nothing in return.

Jenson staggered toward Baby Zetty and asked, "What kind of other rumors have you heard, Granny?"

Baby Zetty tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "I heard that Boye's medical skills were exquisite. Although her apprentice is young, she's able to carry on Boye's legacy. So when the enemy threatened Boye to surrender her secret skills, Boye bombed the laboratory. But her apprentice managed t o escape."

Finn recalled Baby Zetty's simple-mindedness and bitterly shook his head while saying, "She's inexperienced and easily fooled. How could she have escaped from those poisoners who were hunting her?" It seemed like Baby Zetty would always be a little kid in Finn's eyes.

Baby Zetty protested, "Hey now, young man. You have to look at the issue here from another perspective.

That little girl has followed Boye for so many years. How could she possibly remain an inexperienced child who's easily fooled? I heard that the girl isn't only beautiful and kind, but she's smart and capable too. The tips of her ears were slightly red after Baby Zetty boasted about herself.

Gale calmly looked at her and teased, "Oh yes, she's as beautiful as a fairy! I heard that many of the local youngsters had tried to pursue her. But ultimately, she ran off with a malnourished and sickly-looking teenager."

He smacked his lips and said, "It's such a pity, indeed.

What a mismatched pair."

Baby Zetty looked at Gale speechlessly. She was boasting about herself while Gale was mocking himself instead. It seemed as if she was rather unsure of herself.

Moreover, Gale was getting more and more handsome by the day. He was completely different from the malnourished and sickly-looking teenager in the past. How could he mock himself this way? When Finn heard that Baby Zetty was dating now, he instantly felt as if someone had dug a hole in his heart, making it hollow.

"Does that mean she's still alive?" Finn asked.

This was still considered a blessing amidst a misfortune.

Baby Zetty said, "Of course, she is. The child is kind-hearted, so how can she die so easily?"

Seeing the abnormal expression on Finn's face, Baby Zetty deliberately probed further. "Excuse me, Mister. Who's she to you? You seem to care about her very much."

Finn said, "I'll be frank with you, Granny. I'm her brother."

Baby Zetty shot a glance at Jenson who was beside himself at the moment and deliberately pretended to be deaf. "What did you say? Brother or lover? Can you repeat it? I didn't hear you."

Finn was a little flustered from this and avoided Baby Zetty's gaze while saying, "You have too many questions, Granny."

Baby Zetty smiled and said, "Come on now, don't be shy. Seeing how handsome you are, I know for sure that you're a giant among men. If you get together with that witch doctor's disciple, the two of you will make a great pair."

Gale pursed his lips and smiled.

He stealthily said to Baby Zetty, "Granny, you seem to be talking a lot today. Don't you know that one is bound to have a slip of the tongue if one talks too much?"
