True Love Waits

Chapter 1279 My Cousin

Matthew took his time to study the examination result. 'Stung by the Spina Gleditsiae and needs a local operation?

Is this Erica's doing? Did she try another trick on Phoebe?" "Evidence," he said through gritted teeth.

Phoebe had known that Matthew would ask for proof, and she was ready. At once, she pulled out her phone and sent him the video she had prepared in advance.

The recording was a clip from surveillance footage from a Chinese medicine shop. It showed two people speaking to the shopkeeper. The video had sound, and one of the two newcomers a young woman- could clearly be heard saying, "Sir, do you sell Spina Gleditsiae here?"

The shopkeeper nodded and asked, "Yes, indeed. How much do you want?"

The woman thought for a moment, and then said, "Five grams would be enough."

As he weighed the Spina Gleditsiae, the shopkeeper shot her a puzzled look. Eventually, he asked, "Young lady, may I ask why do you want to purchase this herb? It's poisonous."

The woman's expression remained unchanged as she replied, "Oh, I know that. It's for the treatment of retained fetal membranes in my cow. I'm going to burn the Spina Gleditsiae to ash, mix it with warm wine, and feed it to the cow."

This was indeed, one of the known uses of the herb. However, one particular detail in the explanation caught the shopkeeper's interest. "Your cow?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "You don't look like a cowherd. How do you know that the Spina Gleditsiae can be used for this purpose?"

"My cousin majored in traditional Chinese medicine," explained the woman. "He told me all about it."

"I see." The shopkeeper carefully wrapped the five grams in paper and told her the price. A brief moment later, he added, "Remember, be very careful with this stuff."

"Of course. Thank you, sir!" The video ended after the woman paid and left the shop along with the person who had entered with her.
