In the neighboring ward, the doctor had just finished changing Byron's eye dressing, wrapping gauze to protect his eyes from light when Serena entered.
A black room divider stood beside the bed, separating the space and blocking Serena's view. She smiled and asked, "Mr. McDaniel, may I see you? I was so worried when I heard you were in the hospital."
"Thank you for your concern," Byron's cold, deep voice replied from behind the divider. "But you didn't have to come. I could've had my bodyguards pick it up."
"That was my initial thought," Serena replied gently, "but my father put a lot of effort into these medicinal herbs. Since they're so important, I felt it necessary to bring them myself." Her tone was soft, almost affectionate. Unaware, Byron instructed Archer beside him, who walked out from behind the divider, took the box from Serena, and handed her a card.
"Ms. Malvis, this is the payment Mr. McDaniel arranged for your herbs. It's loaded with ten million dollars, and the password is six zeros."
Serena was surprised by his generosity. For any other woman, especially someone like Maeve, who hadn't seen such wealth, this would have been overwhelming. But Serena, the eldest daughter of the wealthy and renowned Malvis family, kept her composure.
She declined the card, looking at Byron with a hint of reproach. Mr. McDaniel, why be so formal with me? If it weren't for you, my father would have forced me into an unwanted marriage. I'm forever grateful to you. These herbs are a gift, no charge." Byron remained unmoved, seemingly missing any suggestion in her tone. "I don't accept gifts, Ms. Malvis. I'll pay for the herbs."
Previously, for the rare posa root, Byron had owed Serena a small favor to help save Maeve. But as long as he could solve something with money, he preferred that over owing any personal debt. That was just his way.
Serena's heart fluttered. 'He is truly oblivious. Is he always this distant, even with Maeve?' Serena thought.
Serena decided she'd take what she could get. She had patience.
After a pause, Serena accepted the card. "Thank you, Mr. McDaniel. If you need any more medicinal herbs in the future, just let me know."
