Chapter 1393

Mirabella was blissfully unaware of the storm of feelings brewing inside Devon. After handing him the prescription, she turned her attention back to David. "Hey David, remember that picture of a herb you sent me last time? Is the owner looking to sell it?"

David straightened up, a bit surprised by her question. He didn't linger on why she referred to the owner that way, instead asking, "You're interested in that herb too?"

"Too?" Mirabella's eyes narrowed slightly as she gave a nod.

David recalled how the herb had been the catalyst for Presley's antics, stirring up quite the commotion in the association. With a soft sigh, he said, "It's no use trying to buy it now-someone's already taken it."

"Taken?" Mirabella was puzzled. To anyone outside her family, the herb was nothing more than a weed.

"Yeah," David nodded. The association was a mess, and he didn't want to drag Mirabella into it, so he kept it brief. After a pause, he asked, "But what exactly is this herb for? I couldn't find anything about it in the records."

Mirabella's fingers interlocked gently as she replied, "It's a herb that ordinary folks wouldn't need."

David, aware of Mirabella's unique family background, was curious but respected her decision not to elaborate further.
