Chapter 143
Days passed by as Davis and Evelynn stayed at that unnamed Royal Palace for a week, recuperating .
The scars on her body disappeared, while her left arm closed up, and her right arm still in the midst of healing .
Davis had almost gone mad when he heard that there were no apothecaries present in the capital during this time . Apparently, a competition was held for the seniors and juniors of the apothecary world in another city .
He had no choice but to wait and take care of her till an expert apothecary arrived .
On the last day, a female apothecary arrived, checked up on Evelynn's body and told Davis that there were no internal or fatal injuries to her body .
This made Davis relax his nerves . Even though he had already determined her condition, he wasn't an authentic apothecary in the first place . His eyesight and senses could go wrong sometimes, and he didn't want anything to happen to her . He needed the opinion of an authentic apothecary before he calmed his nerves .
The female apothecary left after Davis paid her handsomely .
Evelynn smiled as she gazed at Davis's relaxed figure .
During this entire week, her love for him grew deeply, looking at him care for her all while long .
She felt love to the point that even if she had died now, she would've felt content in this life .
Looking at her smile, Davis smiled back warmly .
He suddenly remembered something now that he was eased, "I'm going out . "
"Where are you going?" She asked in confusion . if possible she would like to have him stay for some more time .
"Wait here, I'll bring the woman who harmed you!" Davis coldly replied .
The Ashton Family arrested Hana Ross for plotting to kill a crown prince's wife . They held her in a prison where ruthless criminals were imprisoned .
The Ross Family feigned ignorance and didn't dare to talk about this matter while the Claymore Family tactfully disowned the two daughters who were dead .
People thought that they didn't want to bicker over the two corpses, but the truth was that even if they had fought, they would've been one-sidedly decimated .
Both sides knew this, so the matter came to an end with Emperor Ashton intervening indirectly to smoothen the situation .
Even though the matter had been concluded, Davis made sure to be cautious and learned every important name of the Ross Family and the Claymore Family .
If he felt anything amiss, he swore that he will quickly exterminate their upper echelon in an instant .
"No, no need!" Evelynn quickly replied in a calm tone .
Davis narrowed his eyes, "Why? Are you going to let her go?" He asked her back with a confused expression on her face .
Evelynn nodded her head, "She didn't join them to try and kill me . There is no need to punish her anymore . In fact, without her indirect help, I would've died already . "
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Widening his eyes, he felt that she was lying for a moment, just to save Hana .
Evelynn calmed down before she took a huge breath, "First, she shouted for her comrades to stop, but they didn't . Secondly, when that woman called Vanis tried to stealthily kill me, she shouted out, indirectly warning me . Lastly, she didn't join them to kill me! If she did, then you would have only gotten my severed head, while my body would be somewhere lying on the floor!"
"Stop! I understand! No need to go that far! I'll just tell them to release her! Okay!?" He exaggeratedly shook his hands and shouted in a comical manner .
What kind of bullshit was this? She went that far to defend someone who just hadn't participated to kill her . Davis shook his head, feeling that she was way too kind .
Evelynn giggled a little and nodded with her lovely face .
Looking at her lovely face, he couldn't help but sigh . Thinking that he can kill that Hana in an instant, he put the matter on the back of his head .
While some might worry about retaliation, it certainly didn't apply to him . Almost every upper echelon member knew that he had five more 'talismans' which are capable of killing them in an instant .
On top of that, they knew he was protected by an expert, who was widely called, 'Senior' .
Only a fool would try to pick a fight with him in this world unless of course, if he ruthlessly provoked someone in the first place .
Sighing gently, he uttered, "We'll leave tomorrow morning . . . "
"Hmm . . . " She nodded her head again and beckoned him to come over closer with her finger .
Davis smiled and headed closer to her, planting a kiss on her lips as he held her cheeks .
"Rest well . " Gently smiling, he separated . Just when he thought of cultivating now that his mind has been set free of worry, he sensed a presence approaching outside the palace .
To protect her from any malicious soul attacks, he kept his soul sense extended 200m for seven days straight, even now .
He was exhausted but just took it as a form of training .
Evelynn nodded her head and just when she was about to lie down, she heard Davis say, "Looks like we have a guest . "
Davis waved his hand, and the doors automatically opened up .
He and Evelynn kept waiting for some time before a red-robed figure appeared in front of their view .
Davis looked at Shirley coldly . If it weren't for his stupid decision to stay and cure her poison, he felt that he could have saved Evelynn .
Even though it was an unintentional delaying on her part, he couldn't help but slightly blame her for that brief amount of precious time he lost .
Evelynn was truly surprised as she didn't expect her newly made friend to visit at this time .
"Keeping tabs on the events that are going on here? I think that it isn't good . . . " Davis coldly uttered to Shirley as he moved his gaze away .
Shirley froze, but smile wryly as she replied, "I couldn't help it . My father said to not meet you two during this time because he said that you looked as if you're gonna kill someone . Only after the apothecary left did I learn that you have calmed down . . . "
