"Oliver, calm down for a sec. Sending flowers is a nice gesture, but aren't you worried about the elders getting on your case? Maybe it's best to let it go. Between you and me, I think I can get those seedlings of yours to sprout some seeds."

Oliver was stunned by Josefina's confidence, but he couldn't deny her skills.

She had whipped up a nutrient solution in no time and managed to keep the seedlings thriving on Rose Bay Island – a true testament to her talents.

"I've been studying your island's flowers for quite a while, which is why I could sort out the seedling situation so quickly," Josefina said, a sly grin spreading across her face.

"After you mentioned it last time, I had my people look into it again, but there's no sign of your friend," Oliver replied, his voice gentle.

Josefina felt a chill in her heart, her spirits sinking.

"No news might be good news. Maybe your friend will turn up soon," Oliver tried to comfort her.

The thought of Livia's disappearance weighed heavily on Josefina.
