Chapter 682 Someone Was Researching Serekos


Cassidy whipped out a stethoscope and listened to Rayna's heart and lungs. After giving her a brief examination, she asked, “Right, back to the question at hand. Isabelle, do you really not remember me anymore?”

Rayna glanced in Curtis' direction before awkwardly shaking her head.

Cassidy complained, “Have you no heart? Don't you remember Shvomhid Mountain? Oh, wait... It's Loytas Mountain now, isn't it? Back then, you went up the mountain looking for herbs to treat your mother. Well? Does that ring a bell by any chance?”

She then looked at Rayna expectantly, hoping the latter could remember something.

“I do remember Loytas Mountain, but I don't remember you...” Rayna racked her brain to try and recall who Cassidy was, but to no avail.

“So, you really don't remember me...” Cassidy let out a helpless sigh as she continued, “I will need to draw a bit of your blood for a blood test.”

Rayna nodded in acknowledgment and gave her permission to draw her blood.

As she couldn't stand watching the needle pierce her skin, Curtis pressed her face against his chest. He then watched as Cassidy extracted a small amount of Rayna's blood bit by bit.

“All right, it's done. Please continue to apply pressure here to help stop the bleeding,” Cassidy instructed while pressing a cotton ball on Rayna's arm. Curtis took over for her and helped maintain a gentle pressure on the cotton ball.

“The blood test report will be ready in about thirty minutes from now. You two can go wait in the living room,” Cassidy said as she took her latex gloves off.

Rayna and Curtis were on their way out of the house when Yasmin came running over frantically.

“Come to the courtyard, Ms. Cassidy! I found something in the herbs! It's inside the bag of Seregal!” she exclaimed with tears in her eyes.


Rayna turned toward Curtis when she heard the name of the plant. “Seregal? Doesn't that sound kind of similar?”

Curtis nodded. “Yeah, it does.” Upon recalling how the serendipity grass had caused the blood parasites in Rayna to get active, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

Rayna shot him a puzzled look and asked, “What's wrong? Why are you stopping all of a sudden?”

Curtis gave her a gentle pat on the head as he glanced at Cassidy, who was still inside the house. “We'll let them head over first.”

Seregal sounded quite similar to serendipity grass, so Curtis was worried that it would awaken the blood parasite inside Rayna.

“What is it? What did you see?” Cassidy still had her white coat on when Yasmin dragged her out of the house.

“You'll find out when you see it for yourself!” Yasmin replied and continued dragging her toward the warehouse.



Cassidy felt goosebumps all over when she reached the courtyard and saw the creatures wiggling on the ground.

“How did this happen?” Although Cassidy was disgusted by the sight of the creatures wriggling on the ground before her, she had no choice but to gather the herbs. After all, she had gone through a lot of trouble collecting them from steep cliffs.

She was about to step forward when Yasmin grabbed her arm and exclaimed, “Have you lost your mind? Those things are alive! How are you going to catch them with your bare hands? Don't you know what will happen to your skin?”

Curtis frowned slightly when he made his way over to the courtyard and saw the creatures that came wriggling out of the sack.

“What is it?” Rayna asked as she followed behind him. She was about to stick her head out to have a look when Curtis covered her eyes with his hands. “Don't look,” he said.

The creatures were shaped like leeches, but they were much smaller in size.

That was when Curtis recalled how the blood parasites, that were still inside Rayna's body, looked just like those creatures when they wiggled about.

“What are those?” Curtis asked with a solemn look on his face.

Yasmin was so spooked when she met the man's icy-cold gaze that she hid behind Cassidy and replied in a trembling voice, “I-It's Seregal, a type of flower.”

Curtis glanced at the wiggling creatures on the ground and asked coldly, “Flower? Are you sure these are flowers? They don't look anything like flowers to me.”

“Oh, trust me, they are flowers. Don't worry, Yasmin. Everything is going to be all right,” Cassidy said, patting Yasmin's shoulder to comfort her.

She then shifted her gaze toward Curtis, who was glaring coldly at her, and asked, “Are you familiar with caterpillar fungus?”

Curtis' hand, which was covering Rayna's eyes, loosened slightly when he heard that, but he still kept her face buried in his chest because he didn't want her to see how disgusting the creatures looked.
