When Christina arrived back at Scenic Garden Manor she was just in time to see the family doctor driving away.

She quickened her pace and strode upstairs. At once, she scented the bitter smell of traditional medicine wafting out from the study.

Like a crafty squirrel, she leaned close to him with wide eyes and asked, “You’re really not drinking it?”
