The sky gradually turned dark. By the time Olivia arrived, night had just fallen.

The gentle fragrance of flowers drifted in the air.

As expected, Olivia was brought to Avelia Hot Spring. A separate hot spring was arranged for Olivia.

Could it be that Wayne had truly turned over a new leaf?

Even though the scenery was beautiful, Olivia wasn't in the mood to enjoy the hot springs at all.

She looked at the guards nearby, who were keeping watch both inside and outside the area. She knew that Wayne must be entertaining the guests at the moment.

Could she succeed tonight?

After an hour or so, she sat in the yard, looking up at the starry sky as the chirping of insects reached her ears. Beside her, cherry blossom petals fluttered downward.

Many petals had fallen into the spring, and the place looked especially beautiful.

Someone knocked on the door from outside. "Dr. Ophelia, are you done with your bath?"

Olivia returned to her senses. It was Alan.

"Yes."

Olivia opened the door. "What's the matter?"

"Come with me."

He led Olivia to another path. Many trees were planted on both sides of the stone path, and they looked stunning under the dim lights.

After walking for a few minutes, Olivia paused in her tracks. She had caught sight of a large field of beautiful Moonflowers.

When the petals were closed, the flowers looked like lilies of the valley. The flowers would bloom on moonlit nights.

When the flowers bloomed, their pale yellow petals looked like a lady's tiered skirt.

Layers were draped upon layers, and the flowers looked exceptionally beautiful as they complemented the moon in the sky.

Olivia was amazed at the large field of Moonflowers.

They looked extremely stunning under the glow of the lights and the moon.

Olivia had a shocked look on her face. "This is—"

A familiar voice rang out behind her. "The Moonflower you're looking for."

Olivia turned around to look at the man walking toward her. Unlike before, he was wearing Carathia's special clothing.

The robe was loose-fitting, and only a length of rope tied it together at the waist. It had outlined the man's strong waist and the contours of his shoulder.

His sharp features seemed to flicker among the trees. The darkness had covered him with a mysterious veil.

“Is all this enough to compensate you?"

"Y-Yes."

"So, have you considered my suggestion last time?" Wayne asked. Olivia suddenly changed the topic. "Why don't I perform acupuncture on you tonight? I'll tell you when I'm done." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wayne was moved when he heard her taking the initiative to treat him. He was visibly happy about it. "Really?"

"Yes. Can we do it now? I've brought the stuff to my room."

"Sure."

Wayne followed Olivia back to her room. When he saw Olivia fiddling with the spices, he couldn't help but ask, "What's this?"

"I heard that you have trouble sleeping lately. This is a sleep-inducing fragrance I've specially concocted to pair with your medicine.

“If you keep at it for a while, your insomnia will be cured. Come, lie down."

Wayne obediently lay down.

He examined Olivia, who was concocting the fragrance. Her neck was slender and fair, and it looked quite like a swan's neck.

Some indecent thoughts entered his mind again, so he hastily closed his eyes, not daring to take another look.

Soon, there was an additional smell of spices in the room. With his eyes closed, Wayne commented, "It doesn't smell as nice as the scent on you."

Olivia sat on her knees behind him, looking at the man who withheld nothing from her.

Was he truly the demonic man in the rumors?

Needle after silver needle pierced through Wayne's skin.

As Olivia inserted the needles, she said, "If you regularly take medicine and get acupuncture, the blood clot in your brain will slowly disappear within a month.

“Your body is injured in various spots, so you need to take care of them by following the prescription I gave you.

"Also, take care of your stomach, too. You'll get stomach cancer if this goes on."

"Why are you so talkative today?" Wayne asked.

"Nothing. I'm a doctor, and you're my patient. This is my duty.”

Olivia said gently, "If you feel tired, you can nap for a while. It's safe here."

In the quiet surroundings, Wayne caught a whiff of the scent on Olivia's body again. He had been tense and nervous for the past few days, but at that moment, he relaxed. Soon, he fell asleep.

Olivia sat next to him for a moment. After a sigh, she took his ring away in the end.

This time, he didn't react at all. This meant that he trusted her completely, and he didn't hide anything from her.

Olivia glanced at him one last time. Then, she silently left.
