The two women landed in the living room of the manor.
Menedelia brought Nini to the room where Zero was lying unconscious in the bed.
Ebony was sitting beside the bed during that time, putting wet clothe on Zero's head.
"What happened to him?" Menedelia asked.
"He got high fever," Ebony replied.
"This is the guy's wife, Nini. Please, teach her what to do. From now on, she will take care of her husband. This setup might help to speed up Zero's health and recovery," Menedelia said.
"No problem," Ebony said. She stood up and allowed the wife to occupy the chair and continue the task.
"Does he need to drink more medicine?" Menedelia asked.
"His next medicine will be in the next five hours. Right now, his body is undergoing all types of serious reactions due to the venom in his body..." Ebony explained.
"Alright, let's continue our conversation in the living room," Menedelia said. She looked at Nini and patted her shoulder. "We're going in the living room. If you need anything, give us a call," she said.
Nini nodded her head.
The two women left and went to the living room. They settled side by side on the couch.
Menedelia put the pouch filled with gold coins in her sister's hands.
"What's this?" Ebony asked, looking inside the pouch out of curiosity.
"Use the money to buy everything you need to bring the guy back to life," Menedelia said.
"But where did you get this lots of money?" Ebony asked in confusion.
"That is the payment I received after finding the missing husband in the forest while being attacked by the giant snake. My fortune-telling business is flourishing well in the town, and I got wealthy clients. That wife there inside the room paid me this huge money to find her missing husband in the forest, so please, used this money to buy food and stuff because they will be staying here temporarily until the husbands get better and can finally go home. Don't worry, the wife will give me more money in the future," Menedelia explained.
"Okay, as you say so," Ebony accepted the money without bombarding her older sister with questions. "I was about to visit you in the forest next week because we haven't seen each other for a long time. I never expected that you will visit me tonight and brought a dying man in here," she said.
"I'm sorry, sis. I have no one to turn to for help. Only you can save the guy's life," Menedelia said.
Ebony began yawning. "I feel sleepy," she said, looking at the clock hanging on the wall. "It's already midnight," she said. "Are you going to sleep here?" she asked.
"No, I'll go back to my place. I will return here in the morning to check on the couple. Go now in your room and take your rest," Menedelia said.
"Okay, I will inform Anastasia to sleep here on the couch so that she can assist the wife if she needs something," Ebony said and went to the kitchen to find her companion. She found Anastasia preparing the herbal medicine in the basket. "That's enough for tonight. Time to sleep! You can sleep on the couch in the living room tonight to assist the wife, just in case something goes wrong with her husband. If something goes wrong with the guy, don't hesitate to go to my room and wake me up," she gave her instructions.
"Got it," Anastasia replied and stopped what she's doing.
"Give the wife extra blanket and pillows," Ebony added.
"Okay," Anastasia responded with a nod of her head.
The women went upstairs.
Anastasia returned to the room with the blanket and pillows. She smiled at the wife. "Hello, my name is Anastasia...what's your name, my lady?" she asked in a friendly tone.
Nini looked at the woman and smiled back. "My name is Nini," she said.
"Nice meeting you, my lady. I brought you a blanket and pillow. You can sleep on the bed anytime if you're feeling sleepy since it's big enough for two people. If you need assistance with your husband or you notice something wrong with him, call me right away. I'm going to sleep on the couch in the living room so that I can assist you anytime, okay?"
Nini smiled. "Okay, thank you so much for your help, Anastasia," she said, feeling grateful for the friendly woman.
"If nothing else, I'll take my leave now," Anastasia left the room and gently shut the door behind her.
Menedelia entered the room and went to the bed. "How is he?" she asked, looking at Zero's pale complexion. She went to the end of the bed and examined his feet and his nails, they look the same, nothing had changed when it comes to the natural color. Her sister's medicine is indeed effective, 'coz if not, then Zero is already dead by now due to the amount of venom that entered his body.
"Thankfully, his fever has gone down. I keep putting the wet clothe on his head," Nini replied.
"Good! I'm going back to my place to check on Rebecca. I will sleep there in the forest and return here tomorrow morning. Don't hesitate to ask for help from Anastasia and my sister Ebony, they're good people, always willing to help anyone that needed their help. I'll go now," she said.
"Thank you so much, Granny, for all your help. I appreciated it very much," Nini said.
"Don't mention it," Menedelia spoke. "Take care of your husband well. Remember, do not remove the bracelet! Wear it even if you take a bath. Don't worry, it won't rot," she assured her.
