Chapter 878 Not Free
With the efforts of the four people, all the medicinal herbs were quickly transferred to the storage room.
After moving the last bottle of medicinal herbs, Roxanne walked to a corner and looked at her phone.
There was nothing on her screen.
There were no missed calls, much less a reply from Lucian.
