Now that his only daughter has been poisoned, he must go.
And he must spare no expense to find the herbs that can detoxify her...
By noon, Merton returned to the bamboo house with a basket of herbs gathered from the mountains.
He busied himself, crushing some of the herbs and applying them to Kaleb's wound.
Then he boiled another portion of the herbs into a broth and fed it to Sally and Kaleb, and found time to give Melody Parker some medicine.
Only the results were not ideal, the poison was not eradicated.
The only consolation was that although the poison was not cured, it was suppressed.
With the poison still unresolved, Merton had no choice but to go up the mountain again to gather herbs...
Long after Merton had left, Kaleb slowly opened his eyes.
Fortunately, he was still alive.
When he had exhausted his last ounce of strength in the water, he thought he would fail his treasure, and die along with the treasure's mommy in the sea.
Yes, treasure mommy!
