Chapter 683 Serekos Skin Care


Just as Cassidy hunched over to pick it up, a Serekos wriggled over, frightening her into retracting her hand. Then, she used the tongs to pick up the small crystal instead.

“What is this?” Cassidy studied the crystal under the sun for a while, but she still could not figure out what it was.

“That's a chip.” The corner of Curtis' lips twitched when he realized she had yet to figure out what it was. “To be specific, that's a chip meant for location tracking.”

“Location tracking?” Cassidy mumbled, not quite registering his words. Only when Yasmin pointed at the surveillance cameras in the courtyard did she widen her eyes in understanding.

“Oh d*mn!” Cassidy instantly shuddered and made to throw the crystal away, but Curtis stopped her. “Don't throw it just yet. Hold onto it. We still have use for it.”

Cassidy gave him a confused look. “We can still use it? How?”

“There should be some records in this crystal. I can get the research department to recover it for you. If we're lucky, you can even use this to find out every move the other party makes,” Curtis solemnly told her.

Cassidy dubiously looked at him. “Are you a researcher?”

“No,” he said.

As Cassidy fidgeted with the crystal, she clicked her tongue. “Tsk. If you're not one, why should I believe you?”

“Have trust in my wife even if you don't believe me,” Curtis uttered.

Cassidy frowned. “Your wife doesn't even know me anymore.”

Rayna, who Curtis was shielding in his arms, stiffened. She then lifted her head and tried to turn around, but Curtis covered her eyes. “Don't look at those things.”


“Cassidy, I believe in my husband. If he says they can recover the data, then it must be true,” Rayna explained as she continued to stay in Curtis' arms. “Also, about the matter of forgetting you, I honestly don't remember this at all.”

The grievances in Cassidy's heart seeped away when she heard that, and she huffed, “All right, all right. I'll believe you.”

With that, she walked over to Curtis and handed the crystal to him. “Remember what you've said.”

“Of course,” Curtis promised before taking Rayna to the backyard, leaving Cassidy and Yasmin to continue picking up the crawling Serekos from the ground.

Once they returned to the backyard, Rayna pulled away the man's hand over her eyes and asked, “Do the Serekos look terrifying?”



“They look like leeches,” Curtis answered.

Leeches...

The thought of those soft creatures raised goosebumps on her arms, and she could not help but shudder.

Amused by her reaction, Curtis asked, “Do you still want to take a look at them?”

“Huh? Why would I want to do that?” Rayna responded before taking a step forward. However, the second she took her first step, she heard the sound of something getting squashed. “Curtis, I think I stepped on something.”

Curtis lowered his head to look at her foot. “Lift your leg. I'll take a look at it.”

Rayna closed her eyes and lifted her leg. Instantly, Curtis saw a pile of viscous black liquid on the ground, as well as something falling off Rayna's shoe. When he took a step closer, he realized it was a Serekos.

“What is it?” Rayna asked, balancing herself by putting her hands around Curtis's neck while keeping her leg lifted.

“A Serekos,” Curtis replied. As he spoke, he took off the shoe she had stepped on the Serekos with and lifted her into his arms before carrying her back into the house.

In the meantime, after Cassidy kept all the Serekos that had been sprayed with the solution into the bag, she sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and panted. “This is so tiring!”

“Ms. Cassidy, here, some water.” Yasmin walked over with the jug.

Cassidy then filled a cup of water before downing it. As she poured another cup for herself, she asked, “Yasmin, say, how did the Serekos end up in my bag?”

Yasmin shook her head.

“I just hope that the weather for the next few days will be good.” Cassidy sighed as she looked at the herbs in the yard. Tightening her grip around her cup, she hissed, “D*mn you, Fernando Zeller!”

“Ms. Cassidy, how do you know that it's Nando?” Yasmin gave her a confused look. “Doesn't Nando dote on you the most? Why would he do something like this?”

“Who the h*ll knows?” Cassidy slammed the cup onto the table. “Maybe his godfather's in one of his crazy phases again! Ugh, forget it. I don't want to talk about it anymore.”

At that, she poured herself another cup of tea and rested for half an hour in the courtyard before going to the backyard.
