Dear Sweetheart novel
Chapter 702
“The Gilroy family has been a traditional medicine family for generations, so they must have some knowledge of the soil structure and composition. After all, the older generation of people who went up the mountain to collect medicine didn't rely on chance, but on the growing environment of medicinal herbs as the main consideration. Even if they haven't studied it, Cassidy must know something about it from growing up in such a family since childhood. She probably knows what type of soil and conditions are best for growing plants. You mentioned Cassidy said it was made by Fernando right after you came in. If she hadn't mentioned it, we probably wouldn't have thought of it.”
“Are you saying that Cassidy is deliberately steering us in that direction?” Curtis asked solemnly.
“That's highly plausible,” Rayna agreed with a nod.
“Let's put this aside for now and wait until Robin comes back,” Curtis said softly as he pulled Rayna into his arms.
“Mm.” Rayna knew that was the only way. “Is Cassidy downstairs?”
Curtis nodded curtly, his face devoid of expression. “I think she's still dealing with the Serekos.”
“James told me he'll bring someone here. Norwal City is quite far away from here, so I think it'll be noon by the time he arrives.” Rayna joked, “I recall he used to be so passionate about bugs, but it seems like his interests have shifted to something else.”
Curtis glanced at the time on his phone before clicking into the text James sent a while ago. “I think he won't take that long.”
“Why?” Rayna shot him a puzzled look. Before he had a chance to respond, a loud, thunderous rumble reverberated from the street outside, unmistakably belonging to a roaring motorcycle.
“Is someone here?” Yasmin, who was sound asleep, was suddenly jolted awake by the noise. She glanced at Rayna and Curtis on the couch before asking, “Is Ms. Cassidy back?”
“Yes. She's downstairs,” came Rayna's answer.
Curtis released Rayna and slowly rose from the couch. He plodded over to the window and peered outside. Immediately, his attention was drawn to a sleek superbike resting beneath a street lamp.
“Is that someone you know?” Rayna questioned.
Curtis' gaze shifted to look at the window. “No, I don't know him.”
There was a slimy trail on the window left by the Serekos. Through the soft light of the outdoor lamp powered by solar energy, he could see something wriggling within the gooey substance.
Curtis had been standing by the window for a long time, showing no signs of moving. Growing curious, Yasmin hopped off the bed, her bare feet padding on the cold floor as she slowly approached him. “What are you looking at? Let me see!”
Hearing that, Curtis stepped aside to give her a better view. He pointed at a corner of the window and asked, “Can you see this?”
Yasmin peered intently at the glass window, squinting as she tried to get a better view of the slimy substance. “I think I see a small worm moving. It looks to be about this long.” She held up her hand to indicate the size of the worm and then added, “It's white.”
As Yasmin could also see it, Curtis finally confirmed that he wasn't imagining things. “Mm,” he agreed with a nod.
Rayna, who was sitting on the couch, frowned at their exchange. Why would there be a worm in the slime?
As she pondered over the question, she asked, “Is it a parasite?”
“A parasite?” Curtis was baffled. He grabbed his phone, turning on the torchlight to shine it on the window. At the same time, a Serekos climbed down the window and slithered across the spot he had shone his light on.
A long and slender worm was crawling out of the Serekos' belly. To be exact, it was squirming out of the Serekos' genital orifice, bringing more slime along with it.
Curtis' expression suddenly grew grim as he remembered that there was another Serekos in the room. He gripped Yasmin's wrist as he asked in a stern tone, “Did anything come out of the Serekos that you burned earlier?”
Yasmin was startled by his sudden action of grasping her wrist. She couldn't help shuddering in fear before answering cautiously, “I don't know. I wasn't paying attention to that. When the flames touched the Serekos, it curled up and remained that way ever since.”
She slowly turned her gaze toward the side of the bed where the Serekos was at.
“Curtis, don't worry. Whatever worm that might have been in the slime would have been incinerated in the fire,” Rayna explained. “I instructed Yasmin to set fire to the Serekos' slime trail, which led into this room. When you first came in, you should have noticed some black spots along the corridor.”
She immediately understood his concern.
Hearing that, Curtis turned to look at the ground beneath the door. He could see a faint, dark burn mark illuminated by the warm light.
With that, he slowly released his grip on Yasmin's wrist. Looking at her, he noticed her expression of distress and apologized, “I'm sorry for hurting you.”
Yasmin massaged her wrist and pouted unhappily. With her brows furrowed, she harrumphed in annoyance before marching straight to the door and yanking it open to head out without a second thought. She was so upset she didn't even bother to put on her slippers.
Noticing the pair of red slippers by the bed, Curtis retrieved them and said, “I'll bring her slippers to her.”
