He shook his head gently to pull himself out of the daze. Looking at the little girl, he said softly, "Erin, are you from Mist City? Do you know where your home is? I'll take you home."
"I don't want to go back!" She pouted with a disappointed expression on her face.
"What's wrong? Did you argue with your family?" He asked.
She nodded, but remained silent.
Seeing this, he continued to ask, "Do you know their phone number? I'll call them and ask them to pick you up."
She shook her head and muttered, "I don't want to go back!"
"But..." He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Then I will send you to the police station!"
She immediately grabbed his clothes and almost cried.
Seeing her tearful expression, he quickly comforted her, "Okay, I won’t take you to the police station. Just follow me!”
"Thank you, sir!" A smile appeared on her face.
Fade was left with no choice but to walk out with Erin.
He hadn't bought the medicine, so he took out his phone and was ready to continue looking for the location of the pharmacy.
Seeing this, she asked, "Sir, where are you looking for?"
He replied, "I want to find a pharmacy, a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy. Do you know where it is?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy!" She frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds. She seemed hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but didn’t.
Seeing this, he said, "You don't know! Let's ask for directions!"
When she heard this, she seemed to have figured out something. She took a deep breath, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said, "I know where the pharmacy is!"
"Really?" He asked in surprise.
She responded, "I'll take you there!"
"Alright!”
Fade walked forward with her.
After walking for about ten minutes, Erin stopped in front of an old wooden building.
He looked at the sign stating "Benevolence Hall" hanging above the building and couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise. "It's really here!"
"Sir, is this the place you are looking for?" She asked.
He nodded and gently caressed her head. He smiled and said, "That's right. Thank you, Erin!"
She smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. You saved me so I should help you."
He smiled and said, "I'm going to buy medicine. I'll take you home after I buy the medicine!"
She was about to say something, but at this moment, a car horn sounded. A few black Lincoln cars stopped at the entrance of the pharmacy. A group of bodyguards in black sunglasses quickly got out of the cars and instantly guarded the surroundings.
Then, a middle-aged woman in her forties got out of the car in a hurry and rushed to Erin.
"Oh, my little princess, why did you come out alone? Don't you know how dangerous it is outside? I was so worried."
When Erin saw this group of people, she couldn't help but lower her head and she said timidly, "Aunt Mary, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong."
"My little princess, come back with me. Everyone in the family is so worried." Mary picked Erin up and was about to leave.
However, Erin looked at Fade reluctantly and waved her hand, saying, "Sir, goodbye!"
"You have to think clearly. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get it in the future," the leader said as he stared at him.
Fade laughed and waved his hand. "I said, I did it willingly and I don't need any benefit." "Those are your words!" The leader squinted at Fade, then turned around and shouted, "Let's go!"
In an instant, he left with his people.
Fade looked at the departure of the motorcade and shook his head slightly.
It seemed that this Erin must come from a big family in Mist City. However, she seemed to be unhappy at home, otherwise, she wouldn't have snuck out.
Despite being emotional, Fade didn't forget his business.
After a long sigh, he entered Benevolence Hall and took out his prescription to buy herbs.
His luck wasn't bad. There were actually all kinds of herbs in Benevolence Hall. His prescription consisted of over twenty herbs, including four or five of the most precious ones. All of them could be found in the hall, and they were all of good quality.
That saved him a lot of effort. He bought the ingredients and quickly returned to the hotel.
He borrowed some tools from the hotel and prepared the medicine himself.
After eight hours of busy work, a bowl of thick, ink-like liquid was finally finished.
He carried the medicinal liquid into the room and fed it to Quin who was unconscious.
He wiped his wife's mouth and helped her lie down again. He waved his hand to Rosabelle and the others in the room and said, "Quin needs to rest. Let's go out first!"
"Will she really wake up?" Minerva couldn't help but ask.
Fade had a confident look on his face. He said, "The medicine I personally concocted will definitely have an effect. Maybe after one or two hours, Quin will wake up."
"That's great," Minerva exclaimed with a burst of joy.
