Ch. 2181..2190

Chapter 2181

Baby Zetty was truly stumped when it came to the inscription on the tombstone. She was a young girl and did not know anything about this. In addition, due to Boye's identity, she could not straightforwardly engrave Mister's name on it. Otherwise, a busybody might come and rob the grave.

Baby Zetty looked at Finn as if pleading for his help. However, she soon realized that Brother Finn did not know who was being buried here, so how would he know what to write?

Seeing Baby Zetty's hesitation, Finn asked her curiously, "What's the matter?"

Baby Zetty hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind, saying, "I've given it a thought. I'm thinking of laying down a tombstone without an inscription. Her achievements and virtues were limitless during the time she was alive, but she also received criticisms from others. For all of her contributions and errors, it's not up to me and my frail power to comment on them. So I'll set up this empty tombstone for future generations to evaluate instead."

After setting up the tombstone, Finn invited Baby Zetty to go back with him. "Granny, since your business here is done, please head back with me."

Baby Zetty looked at Boye's tombstone reluctantly as she remembered the love that Mr. Boye and Grandpa had given her over the past three years. Although they had been strict with the teaching process, they cared like none other regarding her food, clothing, and shelter.

They cared about her mental health for three years, allowing her to walk out of the trauma of her broken heart. Baby Zetty's love for Grandma Boye and Grandpa had far surpassed the love for a family. There was also a sense of spiritual belief.

"Finn, I'd like to stay with her for the next seven days. You may come to pick me up again in seven days, okay?" Baby Zetty said stammeringly.

Finn took a look at the surroundings. Although this sunflower field was a breathtaking sight, it was on flat ground. If there were any wind or rain, there would be no place for them to seek shelter.

Hence, Finn took the initiative to offer to stay with her.

"Then, I'll stay here with you."

If Finn were to stay, Gale would start feeling somewhat uncomfortable. He did not plan to stick around and be an unwanted third wheel here, so he said, "In that case, the two of you wait for me here. I'll go hunt and bring back some delicious food."

After that, Gale left without the slightest hesitation.

The weather here was stormy and windy.

The strong winds started striking near evening time.

Finn worriedly said, "It'll rain tonight. We have to find a place to take shelter."

Baby Zetty said, "But on our way over, we didn't see any place we could take cover."

Finn looked at the golden sunflower field and said," Then we can build our own house."

Baby Zetty's eyes were filled with delight.

A house? One that Brother Finn would build specially for her?

Finn started getting to work as soon as he spoke and spread several thick layers of sunflower stalks on the ground before weaving them into four thick walls. The open space house was still slightly low in terms of height.

Baby Zetty did not stay still either and plucked some soft grass to place it on top. When the open space yet low sunflower house was built, Baby Zetty was as happy as a little kid.

She sat in the middle of the house and started imagining that she had just gotten married and was wearing her wedding dress, uncovering her veil to see her favorite man. She was extremely happy today.

"Thank you for building such a beautiful house for me,

Finn. It seems like a house... for a pair of newlyweds."

Finn was startled by her words, and his ears turned somewhat reddish.

Baby Zetty realized she had improperly worded her sentences and said, "I've never lived in such a beautiful house in my life. I was too happy for a moment there and started blabbing. Please don't mind me." Finn was an easygoing person, so he merely smiled and said, "I'm also pleased that you like this simple house, Granny."

Baby Zetty said, "Frankly speaking, when I was younger and had a crush on the boy, I had secretly imagined that he would take me traveling around the country one day. I wouldn't mind eating plain bread and drinking plain water with him or living in a simple, crude house. I merely wished that he wouldn't toss me aside."

Chapter 2182

Chapter 2182

Finn stared at her in a daze, and his complexion was becoming more and more unfathomable. After quite some time, Finn ultimately opened up about his story in shame.

"Every time I hear you talk about your feelings, I feel ashamed of myself. I once let down a girl as well. She was so sincere and so very adorable. She poured her whole heart out for me, but I failed to cherish her. I made her so upset that she suffered from depression and had to leave her home because of it. I..." Finn lowered his head as he muttered these words.

The pain that had been suppressed in his heart for so long made him somewhat unable to withstand the massive impact after letting it out in one go.

"Do you feel nothing but guilt toward her?" Baby Zetty asked bitterly.

Finn froze for quite some time before he said in dismay, "At the time, she was merely a young teen. When she told me that she liked me, I treated it as if it was because she was dependent on me. I was a grown adult, and she was allowed to be disorderly, yet how could I allow myself to be confused? I thought that if I were to distance myself from her, we could stay above the moral baseline and no gossip would harm her.

After all that's said and done, I just wanted to protect her..."

Finn's eyes were red, and his voice sounded choked up. "From the very beginning, I merely hoped for nothing but the best for her. I never wanted to hurt her, but I ended up being the person who hurt her the most."

Baby Zetty had never seen such a disheartened Brother Finn before. He used to live so freely and casually, yet now, his head was drooped as tears started flowing down. Upon seeing the big, tall man weeping like a child, Baby Zetty felt incredibly upset.

She wanted to reach out and caress him, yet she ultimately retracted her hand.

"Depression can be genetically inherited as well. Does anyone in her family have a similar illness?" Baby Zetty could only look for objective reasons to get rid of Finn's pain.

However, Finn started blaming himself when he said," If she were happy, how could she have suddenly gotten clinical depression?"

"Then... do you perhaps like her?" Baby Zetty abruptly asked a question that had been buried in her heart for many years.

She had loved Finn so ardently and was completely infatuated with him her entire life. Before her time came to an end, she wanted to know if Finn had ever loved her. Finn's head was still lowered as he nodded heavily.

Baby Zetty's eyes suddenly widened in astonishment...

"Is it love or is it as simple as liking her?"

Finn said, "It's both."

Baby Zetty was dumbstruck.

Her low spirit seemed to immediately soar through the sky. However, Baby Zetty still could not bring herself to be happy.

She was about to leave soon, and Brother Finn would be a lonesome traveler in the future. It was a painful scene to imagine. "Forget about her and live a good life in the future," said Baby Zetty in a choked up voice.

Finn shook his head and said, "No. I'll never forget her. I'll get her back."

"The world is huge. Where are you going to start looking for her?"

"I'll keep looking until the day I die. It'll be my good luck if I find her; if not, I'll consider it my retribution," said Finn resolutely.

Baby Zetty could feel a knife twisting in her heart.

"Do you really have to do this?"

Finn stammeringly said with a smile, "She's a young lady now. I have to find her and ask her whether her words back then are still valid. If they are, then all these years of waiting wouldn't have ended up in vain. If they're no longer valid, I'll think of it as her innocent thoughts as a child. I'll silently bury my love for her in my heart and wish her the best in life."

Baby Zetty said, "After listening to your story, I think the girl's words carry enormous weight to them. She would've definitely persisted in loving you. It's just that destiny is a peculiar thing, and I hope that you won't be too stubborn about it."

Chapter 2183

Chapter 2183

Finn said very firmly, "Back then, she persisted in going after me like a moth to a flame. Now, I'm willing to do the same for her just this once."

Baby Zetty felt a stifle in her heart upon hearing his words. Although she was moved upon learning that Brother Finn could not let her go, this relationship was destined to end badly. Baby Zetty could not bear t o watch Finn spend the rest of his life all alone.

She firmly said to him, "Finn, you haven't seen her in so many years now. Perhaps she's no longer that sunny girl you remember. Maybe she's grown more mature now after going through great changes. Perhaps, she went along with the flow of life and is no longer that dedicated... If your efforts come to no fruition in a few years, I suggest you give up."

Finn said, "I can give up, but only if she tells me that in person."

Baby Zetty closed her eyes in sorrow.

She was already trying to tell him that in person.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and the sunflower house began to shake from the wind. Baby Zetty started to worry incessantly. "What do we do?"

Finn calmly said to her, "Take a rest, Granny. This

house was almost welded together, it's not going to collapse so easily." After Finn said this, he walked toward the wall and pulled the entire slanted house back into place with one hand.

Later, he sat there motionlessly, but his hand stayed on the wall of the sunflower house.

At this time, the wind and heavy rain seemed to have zero effect on the sunflower house. Baby Zetty's restless heart felt slightly more relieved.

"Get some sleep, Granny," Finn said while turning around chivalrously.

Baby Zetty lay on the ground, but her eyes were fixed on her beloved man.

Whenever she encountered a situation like this, Finn would always protect her akin to a mountain that stayed unswerving.

He could give her the strongest sense of security.

It was a pity for her that Finn could not keep guarding her.

At dawn the next day.

The wind and rain had stopped, revealing a bright and sunny day.

When Baby Zetty woke up, she saw Finn all curled up on the ground. He was sound asleep. She covered him with the thin blanket she had been carrying on top of him, and that was when she heard Finn calling out her name.

"Forgive me, Baby Zetty. It was all my fault."

Baby Zetty was startled, and tears could not help but stream down her face.

"You're too good, Brother Finn. We're just not destined to be together," said Baby Zetty in a choked up voice.

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked his face. Finn suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it onto his face while muttering, "Baby Zetty, don't be sad. I've never truly loved another girl. I never loved her... And I was just trying to run away from you. I was a coward...."

Baby Zetty's tears were streaming down uncontrollably.

"Brother Finn, you're not a coward. You're my hero."

Baby Zetty had been an ignorant child at the time.

Now that she was an adult and after hearing more of those salacious cases done against minors, she had an epiphany. Brother Finn had merely rejected her so resolutely back then to protect her.

He had a bright heart and was a man of honor. Even though he liked her very much, he still tried his best to suppress his emotions.

Brother Finn was nothing short of a lofty and unsullied nobleman.

Baby Zetty had never regretted loving Finn in this lifetime.

On the contrary, she was incredibly proud of it.

At this moment, her tears accidentally fell on Finn's face. When Finn woke up to find Baby Zetty's hand on his face, his eyes were filled with surprise.

Baby Zetty became nervous and uneasy...

She wanted to retract her hand but later thought that it would make matters worse. Hence, she simply smiled at him and candidly said, "Finn, you were repeatedly sneezing last night and I got worried. I wondered if you caught a cold. I'm merely doing a check-up on you..."

Finn sat up and smiled while saying, "Sure, go ahead and do it."

Chapter 2184

Chapter 2184

Baby Zetty was stunned and ultimately did a more comprehensive check-up on Finn. She was still a healer. Although her life was cut short, she had saved so many people. Now that she had an opportunity to check the body of her most beloved man, Baby Zetty was taking it more seriously than ever.

She opened Finn's eyelids and observed his dark yet clear eyes. They were still as beautiful as always but no longer as clean and bright as they were before. Now, they were filled with depression and sorrow. It made Baby Zetty feel nothing but heartache for him.

After checking his eyes, Baby Zetty placed her ears on Finn's heart. His heart was beating powerfully, but...

When Finn saw the grandma pressing her face to his heart, he experienced an inexplicable strange feeling at that moment. His uneasy frame of mind became more at ease.

Finn thought that it was odd. Since the day Baby Zetty left Imperial Capital, he had always been extremely concerned about Baby Zetty. Due to these worries, his heart had never been at ease.

However, his state of mind was oddly calm at the moment.

Finn was bewildered over this and he looked at Baby Zetty in amazement. Her gray hair looked smooth and straight, and there were short, soft hairs at her hairline.

Finn thought that the hairline looked strangely familiar, and he ultimately recalled that his Baby Zetty's hairline had a similar gentle and beautiful curve to it. The tip of her widow's peak was neither too high nor too low...

Finn was appalled. It was as if he had lost his voice when he stuttered, "Baby Zetty."

Baby Zetty immediately turned stiff as if an electric current had struck her whole body.

She lifted her head in a perturbed manner, and her horrified gaze quickly changed to astonishment." What did you call me?"

When she saw the shock in Finn's eyes, Baby Zetty continued to act dumb and asked, "Did you say Baby Zetty?"

Finn stubbornly continued to look at Baby Zetty in scrutiny. Seeing her aged face, her deliberately narrowed eyes, and her stooped back, there was not a single trace of Baby Zetty's appearance on this old woman at all.

Finn recovered his senses and very apologetically said, "I'm sorry, Granny. I must've lost my mind for a second."

Baby Zetty smiled and said, "I think you miss her too much."

Finn nodded at her.

Seeing the pain in Finn's eyes, Baby Zetty gave it a thought and said, "I do have Forgetting Pellet here. I'll give it to you. Once you eat it, you'll be able to forget the girl. I think you wouldn't be in so much pain this way."

Finn shook his head dreadingly and said, "I won't eat that. I'll not forget her, nor do I want to forget her."

Only then did Baby Zetty realize how absurd her proposal sounded. She should not have mentioned it in front of him. Brother Finn was an open and candid person who took it upon himself to be liable for his actions. He was someone who would love bravely and not try to escape from it this way.

Perhaps Baby Zetty should have done this sort of thing in secret.

"How's my body, Granny?" Finn changed the subject.

Baby Zetty said, "You're depressed, and your chakra seems stuck. I'll prescribe medication for you, Finn."

Finn thought of Granny's Forgetting Pellet and abruptly felt that he should not eat her medicine so haphazardly. He said, "If it's not such a big issue, I wouldn't want to trouble you, Granny."

Baby Zetty had no other option but to drop the subject.

After breakfast, Finn took Baby Zetty to the nearby forest to see if they could find any useful medicinal herbs.

Along the way there, the chivalrous Finn had lent an arm to support Baby Zetty. The closer he was to Baby Zetty, the more peculiar he found the situation. He unexpectedly discovered that he was not at all disgusted to have physical contact with Winter.

This sort of situation would never have happened before as Finn was very resistant to the opposite sex.

Ultimately, Finn comforted himself and thought,' Maybe it's because the other party is a highly respected healer. That's why I'm feeling so intrigued.'

Chapter 2185

Chapter 2185

Finn and Baby Zetty ran into Baby Robbie in the forest.

Baby Robbie was astonished upon seeing Finn and Baby Zetty together.

"Brother Finn, where's my daddy?"

It turned out that after Sir Ares went to look for Baby Zetty many days ago, he was continually pursued by those locals of Sacred Land. They did everything unscrupulous to subdue Sir Ares. Now, Sir Ares had gotten too weary to fight back. Not only did he fail to find Baby Zetty, but he was even trapped inside Sacred Land's Mysterious Forest.

When Sir Ares failed to return a few days later, Jenson asked Finn to go out and search for him. However, Finn found Baby Zetty instead. Since she wanted to stay here for the next seven days, the two ended up taking shelter inside the sunflower house.

When Baby Robbie ran into Finn by chance, he realized that not only did Daddy fail to find Granny, but he had also gotten lost in this place. He became extremely worried about Daddy now.

Finn was anxiety-ridden when he said, "I didn't bump into him either."

Baby Robbie glanced at Baby Zetty and was surprised t

o find that her hair had gotten grayer than before. It seemed like she had aged even more now. He was somewhat surprised by this, but he had always been one who was disinclined to be concerned about people who had no relations to him. Hence, he did not think much into it.

As he was whole-heartedly concerned about Sir Ares, Baby Robbie said, "Then I'll continue looking for my daddy." He was about to turn and leave immediately after saying this.

Finn was also worried that something had happened to Sir Ares. However, looking at the elderly and helpless Granny, he felt at a loss. He was slightly hesitating once more.

Ultimately, Baby Zetty was the one who anxiously urged him. "Finn, you should go look for Sir Ares with him."

"What about you?" Finn asked.

Baby Zetty said, "I'll stay right in the sunflower house and wait for all of you."

Finn nodded at her firmly and said, "Wait for me, Granny. I'll come back to pick you up."

"Alright."

Just like that, Finn and Baby Robbie left to look for Sir Ares.

Baby Zetty watched them as they left, her heart deeply worried and restless for them.

In the next few days, Baby Zetty found plenty of precious medicinal herbs nearby. It made her ecstatic. These herbs were all rare species recorded in Boye's secret collection of books. Many secret techniques required these materials.

They were especially useful for the witch poison in Grayson and Andy's bodies. With these herbs as a guiding drug, she could quickly drive out the Witchbug.

Baby Zetty had been anxious for the past couple of days. She had been forcing herself to calm down by studying the cure for the witch poison.

As for her own progeria, she still could not find a way to undo the damage just yet.

Gale would come by to bring her food from time to time. However, he would spend most of his time trekking the mountain forest.

Seven days later.

Finn anxiously came looking for her.

Baby Zetty could barely show her delight when she heard Finn say, "I'm here to say goodbye to you, Granny. Sir Ares is currently at death's door. We have to rush back to Imperial Capital so that he can see his wife for the last time."

These words of parting carried minimal hopes of them meeting again.

Baby Zetty was immensely horrified by this and

quickly asked, "Tell me what happened to Sir Ares."

Finn told her the truth, "He's injured and currently in grave condition. Moreover, it seems like he has contracted some incurable poison all over his body.

Baby Zetty stumbled upon hearing Finn's words. Even though she was considered a genius doctor, she could not stay calm upon hearing that Daddy was on the verge of death.

She tremblingly held Finn's hand and said, "I'm a healer, and you know that I have nowhere to be. Why don't you take me back to Imperial Capital? I can help stabilize Sir Ares' condition while we make the trip there."

Finn was overjoyed to hear this and said, "If you're willing, it'll be nothing but great news for all of us."

Just like that, Baby Zetty began to pack up her bundle bag. Many of the things she brought with her had been buried underground to pay homage to Boye.

Now, most of her belongings were precious and uncommon medicinal herbs.

Baby Zetty said to Finn, "These medicinal herbs that I've dried under the sun are all precious materials.

They're particularly effective in curing dubious or hard-to-treat cases. Can you think of a way to help me take all of them back with me?"

Chapter 2186

Chapter 2186

Finn looked at the dried-up medicinal herbs that were spread all over. If it were up to him, he definitely would not choose to bring all of them. However, he knew the importance of these herbs to the healer and her patients. Hence, after thoughtful consideration, he said, "Don't worry. I'll get someone to come over and take them once we get back."

Baby Zetty joyfully replied, "That's great."

Then, Finn took Baby Zetty back to their base camp at the cave.

As soon as Baby Zetty arrived at the cave, she simply could not wait any longer to meet Sir Ares. However, Zayne snorted at her and said, "If he hadn't been looking everywhere for you, would he have ended up in this state?"

Baby Zetty was upset after hearing the words. She thought Daddy must have been worried sick about her going through a tough time on her own, hence why he wanted to go looking for her. He would never have thought that he would fall into such a mess himself.

It was right for Uncle Zayne to take his anger out on her.

Jenson walked over to Baby Zetty. After not seeing her

for a few days, he was shocked to find that Baby Zetty had become a lot older. A touch of astonishment filled his eyes, yet he pretended to stay calm and said," Please help cure my dad, Granny Winter." Baby Zetty nodded and said, "Take me to him now."

Jenson immediately brought Baby Zetty over to Sir Ares.

Sir Ares' eyes were shut tight, and his complexion appeared dark as he lay on the grass almost lifelessly.

Baby Zetty felt nothing but distressed at this sight. Her legs went limp on the ground almost immediately as tears started streaming.

"Sir Ares," she called out in a shaky voice.

"I'm back."

When Jay heard Baby Zetty's voice, he slowly opened his eyes.

He looked delighted to see Baby Zetty, yet his heart fiercely tightened upon seeing her accelerated aging.

Baby Zetty showed him a bright smile and held his hand affectionately, saying, "You're awake?"

Jenson was standing on the side at the moment. Seeing Daddy and Granny greeting each other so warmly and naturally, his vigilant heart became even more perplexed by this.

Baby Zetty said, "Don't be afraid. I'll definitely be able to cure you."

Jay nodded with a smile and said weakly, "I believe in you."

Although he knew that his daughter had only studied medicine for three years, he still had to trust his daughter unconditionally as a father.

Even if he ended up being her guinea pig.

Baby Zetty immediately undid Jay's shirt, revealing a few bad cuts on his body. The wounds were deep, and the blood had already turned black.

Baby Zetty understood everything in a flash. It was no wonder her daddy insisted on returning to Imperial Capital. She feared that he had realized how powerless he was in reversing his current situation, hence he wanted to see Mommy before facing death.

Baby Zetty had always been the apple of her mommy and daddy's eyes. Seeing Daddy hurt and thinking of the great pain he was suffering at the moment, she started crying all of a sudden.

Jay comforted her, saying, "Don't cry. Even if I can't make an unexpected recovery, don't feel sad over it. When there is life, there's death as well. Don't blame yourself for it."

He had misunderstood that Baby Zetty was crying so sorrowfully because she was unable to save him.

Baby Zetty said, "I'll try my best to save you no matter what."

Jay looked at her face that appeared as if she had gone through many hardships and said with distress," What about you? I don't want you to save me before you save yourself." Baby Zetty burst into a flood of tears.

Daddy's love for her was beyond the love he had for himself. It was so deep and borderless.

To refrain her dad from worrying about her, Baby Zetty said, "Alright, don't worry about it. I'll take good care of myself."

Sir Ares proceeded to nod in relief.

After checking Jay's injuries and examining the type of poison in him, Baby Zetty walked out of the cave.

The others were more or less opposed to Baby Zetty's arrival. They thought that Sir Ares' injuries were caused by her leaving without bidding farewell the other day. Hence, they were brimming with hostility against Baby Zetty.

Chapter 2187

Chapter 2187

Baby Zetty did not have the luxury of time to care about their attitude toward her. She quickly began to prepare medications and a treatment plan for Sir Ares.

Zayne simply did not have faith that she could heal Sir Ares' injury, and he began to make cynical remarks toward Baby Zetty. "Can you even save him? Don't squander our time if you can't. Do you know that no one's able to cure Sir Ares' poison? They said that he's helpless even if Boye herself came back from death. If you can't heal him, I suggest you don't torment him and let him spend his last days in peace." Baby Zetty heard the meaning behind his words and asked, "Did you give him medicine before?"

Zayne said, "Of course. He was injured and poisoned. We couldn't just watch him die in so much pain and suffering."

Baby Zetty knew in an instant what kind of suffering Sir Ares had gone through. She solemnly admonished them with reddened eyes, "The poison inside of him is a mixture of dozens of highly toxic poisons. If the wrong medication was given, the poison would undergo a series of chemical reactions, allowing more types of poison to be produced inside the body. This will only increase the difficulty of curing him." Jenson wanted to spare no effort to save Daddy, but he was afraid that the wrong method would cause him to incessantly cough out blood like the other night. He was torn with grief and very cautiously said to Baby Zetty, "Do you truly have a way to save my daddy, Granny?"

Baby Zetty looked at the group of men surrounding her, each of them looking as if they were itching to devour her. Baby Zetty said, "If all of you stop hindering me from doing things, cooperate with me, and don't affect my mood, I can promise that he'll be vigorous and lively by the time he returns to Imperial Capital."

Although nobody believed that her medical skills were outstanding, they could only depend on her now.

Jenson commanded, "Obey all of Granny Winter's words."

"Yes, sir."

Hence, Baby Zetty could finally devote herself to the process of making detoxification pills for Jay.

Fortunately, they were in Sacred Land. Baby Zetty's best skill was distinguishing numerous and complicated disorderly compositions into various orderly components to find the best cure for each poison. She ultimately made a tisane and gave it to Jay.

Then, she also made an ointment and applied it to the top of Jay's wounds.

Since the situation was rather urgent, she worked tirelessly every single day to save him. The others did not feel sorry for her, and only Finn fully cooperated with her as she worked. Moreover, only Jenson was around to yell at the others to collect more spring water...

Three days later, a miracle occurred when the black blood oozing out of Sir Ares' wounds turned red.

Now, Jenson was even more amazed at Granny's medical skills.

Just like that, everyone's attitude toward her changed.

Zayne became more diligent in helping out as well.

However, Baby Zetty was aging even faster due to fatigue. Her gray hair was completely turning white at that point.

On this day, while Baby Zetty was making her usual concoction, Jenson suddenly walked over to her side. He reached out and plucked a strand of her hair, looking at it in scrutiny. Then, he wondered aloud, "Why are you getting old so fast, Granny?"

Baby Zetty knew that everyone here was not simple-minded. It could be said that almost everyone had noticed that she was aging very quickly. It was just that no one stopped to ask her the reason. Jenson had always been cold. However, he was the only one who took the initiative to ask her the reason, so she presumed that he had caught on to something.

A trace of panic flashed across Baby Zetty's eyes as she explained, "Perhaps I've been too tired for the last couple of days."

Jenson was unwilling to let it go and probed further." You're a healer, Granny. Your medical skills are superb as well. Don't you have a recipe for eternal youth for yourself?"

Baby Zetty shifted her gaze and said, "Everyone gets older someday. I'm not a girl who's too focused on outer appearance anyway."

Afterward, Baby Zetty walked off while holding onto her medicinal herbs.

Jenson froze on the same spot as tears started falling to the ground.

The moment Baby Zetty called herself a 'girl', Jenson had seen through her real identity.

Chapter 2188

Chapter 2188

Everyone else was ecstatic about the improvement in Sir Ares' condition. However, Sir Ares, who was getting better by the day, as well as Jenson, were getting sadder as each day passed.

Baby Zetty was getting increasingly older now. The way she looked at Finn with a longing gaze and how she was working tirelessly to heal Grayson and Andy... Everything she was doing was making Sir Ares and Jenson feel nothing but distressed for her.

On this said day, Jenson came over to Baby Zetty's' room'. He saw that Baby Zetty was occupied with making pills. Jenson silently walked over to her, knelt down, picked up the powder, and started to make the pills with Baby Zetty.

She looked at him in astonishment, and after her lips opened and closed several times, Baby Zetty finally called out to him.

"Jens?" The word was stuck in her throat. It sounded low and delicate. If he had not been listening carefully, he would think she was merely letting out a hum.

However, Jenson nodded and replied, "Yeah?"

Baby Zetty's tears uncontrollably came streaming

down. "I knew that I couldn't keep this from you. I shouldn't have come." She began to regret her initial decision.

Jenson stopped the movements of his hands and fixed his gaze on her. "Were you thinking that if you left this world just like that one day, we'd be fine staying hopeful since we didn't witness your death with ou own eyes? That we'd be okay deceiving ourselves by thinking you're still alive?"

Baby Zetty was really thinking from that perspective.

Jenson said, "If that's the case, Daddy and Mommy might never again be at ease for the rest of their lives. They'll continue to look for you just as they did with Robbie, from one city to another, perpetually and without a wink of sleep. Don't you think that's too cruel to them?"

Baby Zetty began to sob and said sorrowfully, "Jens, you know that I'm not as smart as you are. I didn't think it all the way through. I merely thought that if I die here in this state, all of you will feel nothing but sorry for me. I just didn't want you to be sad because of me."

Jenson looked at Baby Zetty who was crying her eyes out at this point. He had never observed her so carefully before, but now that he was taking a closer look, he came to realize that she still had a young girl's heart inside of her.

Jenson pulled Baby Zetty, who was crying while trembling, into his arms and gently patted her back. He comforted her by saying, "If you don't want Daddy and Mommy to be sad, promise us that you'll find a cure for yourself."

Baby Zetty started showing a mournful expression." Jens, when I was escaping the enemy, I panicked and used one of Grandma Boye's skills-Bodily Disguise. My talents are limited, and I'm afraid I won't be able to cure this."

Jenson said, "Baby Zetty, you must never give up hope to stay alive. Please do it for us. You have to keep trying your best, alright?"

The only thing Baby Zetty could do was reluctantly nod her head.

When Zayne came in to get some medicine, he saw Baby Zetty leaning her head on Jenson's shoulder.

The two were intimately snuggling up to each other and Zayne was immediately dumbfounded at this.

"What the f*ck?!" he awkwardly screamed out before fleeing in a hurry.

Baby Zetty let out a sigh and said, "What do we do now, Jens? Will that dunce of an uncle of ours misunderstand us now?"

Baby Zetty's worries were not without reason. As soon as Zayne ran out, he immediately went looking for Baby Robbie. He proceeded to add extra details to the story when he said to Baby Robbie, "Granny Winter is certainly a witch! First, she made your dad behave especially intimate with her, and now, her target is

Jenson... I saw the two snuggling up together. It was simply too darn intimate!"

Baby Robbie was stunned after hearing Zayne's words.

"Jens is being nice to her too?"

Zayne nodded and replied, "Yeah! It seems like he got it even worse than your daddy."

Baby Robbie was lying on a tree branch at the moment. There was a suspicious look in his beautiful eyes as he muttered to himself, "If Daddy is nice to her and Jens is nice to her, doesn't that mean I should be nice to her as well?"

Zayne sat below the stone block under the tree and began to complain incessantly, "Granny Winter is indeed superb in the art of healing. But why is she particularly attentive to the Ares family men alone? Is it because all the Areses are so handsome?"

Then, Zayne patted his mouth. "Pah! I'd better shut my mouth before Sir Ares comes over to sort me out."

Baby Bobbie abruptly stood up with a look of astonishment in his eyes. "What did you just say, Uncle?"

Zayne looked around, making sure that Sir Ares and Jenson were not by his side before he had the guts to repeat his words, "I said, Granny Winter's art of healing is exquisite. But why is she lingering around you Ares men?"

Baby Bobbie suddenly fell from the tree. Before he reached the ground, Baby Bobbie did a flip and stood back up.

Zayne looked at him and asked, "Why are you so startled?"

Huge suspicion was overflowing from Baby Bobbie's gaze.

He had been so careless before and did not pay

attention to Granny Winter's arrival. Now, it was as though a mere sentence from Zayne's mouth had woken him up from a dream.

After Baby Robbie realized the special treatment Granny Winter had been giving the Ares family, he began to attentively ponder over how unique her treatments were.

Then, all of the crucial information inside his brain began to click.

Granny Winter was superb in the art of healing, she was extremely concerned over Daddy, and she was aging quite rapidly...

Baby Robbie suddenly felt like it was getting difficult to breathe as he weakly exclaimed, "Uncle!"

Seeing Baby Robbie somewhat staggering, Zayne hurriedly went over to support him and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Baby Robbie suddenly grabbed Zayne's hand and warned him sternly, "You're no longer allowed to bad-mouth Granny Winter in the future."

This completely dumbfounded Zayne.

He touched Baby Robbie's forehead and said in a panic, "Crap! We're doomed. Another one has been bewitched by her."

Baby Robbie pushed him aside and ran straight to Baby Zetty inside the cave.

When he arrived at the cave's entrance, Baby Robbie did not go inside and merely hid outside, listening to Jens and Baby Zetty's conversation.

Baby Zetty was crying while pleading with Jenson, saying, "Jens, you can't tell them about this. You have to let me live my final days with my dignity intact."

Jenson was shedding tears as he said in a choked up manner, "You can't give up before your time comes."

"I promise you that I'll not give up on saving myself. But you have to promise me that you'll not tell them who I am."

"Okay. This stays between us."

The two held each other's hands as a vow.

When Baby Robbie looked at their interlocked hands, he recalled that this had been something they used to do as kids. Tears could not help but roll down his cheeks. However, he wiped his tears off and did not head inside to disrupt their moment together.

If Baby Zetty refused to let so many people know about her identity, then he could only help fulfill her wishes.

After Baby Robbie walked away from Baby Zetty, he went over to Jay's side in a daze.

He had no idea why Daddy cared so much about Granny before this. However, now that he found out the reason, he was unable to dispel the regret he felt.

The 18-year-old Baby Zetty currently had the face of a n 80-year-old woman. Daddy must have been torn with grief looking at his aging daughter every single day. "Daddy." Baby Robbie tried his best to squeeze a bright smile at Jay.

Jay's body had recovered slightly and he was pretty clear-headed. However, the poison was not entirely out of his body and his injuries were not completely healed, so he was still frail.

He was lying on the stone bed and looking at Baby Robbie somewhat dejectedly. Then, Jay urged him," Robbie, Granny has been working too hard nowadays. You and your sisters need to help her out more." "Alright," Baby Robbie responded to him quite bitterly.

Jay was slightly taken aback. Why had Baby Robbie's attitude toward Baby Zetty suddenly did a 180 turn?

He could somewhat guess that Baby Robbie must have found out about Baby Zetty's identity. However, for Sir Ares, others recognizing her was no longer the top priority at the moment. What he wanted the most was for Baby Zetty to save herself.

Since then, Baby Robbie had been tirelessly trying to help Baby Zetty. From collecting medicinal materials to sorting and drying them, all the way to fetching Baby Zetty something to drink. Baby Zetty could feel that Baby Robbie's attitude toward her had taken a complete turn. For a moment there, she even suspected that Baby Robbie had found out about her identity. She immediately felt more pressured.

However, when she was about to make insinuations to test Baby Robbie, he wittily dispelled her worries.

"You saved my daddy, so from now on, you're considered the Ares family's savior. Don't worry about it. Because of your great kindness, my sisters and I will show you more respect in the future." Baby Zetty heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm delighted that you think of it that way," said Baby Zetty.

Baby Robbie looked at Baby Zetty's aged appearance and felt extremely upset about it. Baby Zetty, Jens, and he were triplets, so the relationship between the three was much closer. His sister's pain hit him close to his heart.

Baby Robbie changed his approach and tried making her happy instead. "Granny, since your art of healing is so exquisite, why not accept me as an apprentice? I'm brilliant, you know."

Baby Zetty had thought about accepting apprentices. However, training a healer would require learning the operations of many instruments and getting to know medicinal materials, as well as accurately diagnosing the patient's condition. None of this could be done overnight.

Moreover, she did not know how much time she had left. She was afraid that she would kick the bucket in the middle of the process and lose Mister's prestige after teaching a mere half-baked apprentice. Baby Zetty said, "I know that you're brilliant, but I don't have any skills to teach you at the moment. If there's a chance in the future, I'll pass on my knowledge to you."

Baby Robbie secretly slandered her inwardly, 'Once you get through this ordeal, I won't bother learning your skills anyway.'

At this moment, Finn walked over with a beautiful bird in his hand and handed it to Baby Zetty. He asked, "Do you like it? It's for you."

Baby Zetty reached out and was ecstatic. "It's beautiful."

Finn smiled and said, "With this fellow keeping you company, you won't be alone in the future."

Baby Zetty was not quite well-versed in animals and asked curiously, "What kind of a bird is it?"

Baby Robbie had no clue as well, but he started babbling, "This is a robin, and it symbolizes love. This bird represents the kindness and beauty of human nature." As soon as Baby Robbie said this, he secretly glanced at Baby Zetty.

Then, he saw that Baby Zetty's ears had turned red.

Baby Robbie pursed his lips into a smile.

Finn was feeling embarrassed as well and walked away with a flushed face.

Baby Zetty shot a glance at Baby Robbie and said, "You're mean."

Baby Robbie chuckled and said, "It was a casual remark. I didn't know the two of you would take it seriously."

Baby Zetty rolled her eyes at him and said, "It doesn't matter that much to me as I'm an old woman. But your joke isn't suitable for a young man like Finn."

Baby Robbie glanced at Finn and suddenly hatched an idea in his head. He hurriedly went after him.

"Brother Finn!" Baby Robbie exclaimed out loud.

Finn turned around and looked at Baby Robbie curiously. "Is something the matter?"

Baby Robbie put his long arm around Finn's shoulders and said, "Brother Finn, Granny Winter has been staying up late to make medicine nowadays and she's exhausted. My dad wants us to take turns staying with her at night to help her out. Will you be willing to stay up and help her tonight?"

Finn pondered over it and knew that Granny Winter had indeed been busy treating Grayson, Andy, and Sir Ares lately.

Hence, Finn replied, "No problem at all."

Baby Robbie was thrilled and said, "Great. So it's decided, then!"

Afterward, Baby Robbie went looking for Sis Roxie and pulled her aside. He secretly asked, "The military intelligence division has a type of medicine that's specifically used to force prisoners to confess. The one that makes them tell the truth even if they take just a little bit of it. Do you still remember the formula of that medicine?"
