After a moment, Shawn picked up the wooden figurine from the floor with a smile and placed it back on the

corner table, casually hiding his slightly trembling hands behind his back. He capped the moment with an

addendum, “Anyway, your sister's remedy is really effective!”

Leo looked on, dumbfounded. He had never seen his father act so goofy before. However, his attention quickly

returned to the porcelain bottle in his hands..

What were these so-called “Vitality Boost Pills“? Were they skind of libido supplement like his dad thought?

Sure, he had injured his spine, but his libido... Leo suddenly felt a hit to his pride.

Sensing his thoughts, Mirabella pressed her temples and said, “The one you're holding is different from Dad's.”

Mirabella cleared her throat and spoke more formally. “This is Crimson Sage. It specifically targets toxins that

accumulate in the body and repairs physical functions. It will be beneficial for your current condition.” She left

out the more detailed benefits, knowing that bombarding him with too much jargon wouldn't make sense to him.

Shawn, hearing this, narrowed his eyes, always feeling there was something offbeat about Mirabella. She always

spouted terms he’d never heard before. She sounded like one of those scams he'd heard about on the news that

conned people into buying fake medicines.

Leo wasn’t as internally tic as his dad. He was just surprised by his sister's last comment about the

remedy being useful for his ‘current physical state.”

He looked at Mirabella in astonishment, and as their eyes met, there seemed to be a knowing depth in her clear

Leo paused, about to say something, but Mirabella winked at him, her tone unusually serious. “Leo, trust me, you

need to take this, one pill every three days, don’t forget.”

After a pause, Leo murmured a soft acknowledgment, “Yeah, | got it.”

Mirabella turned and walked towards the dining room. She was not entirely sure he had taken her words to heart,

but she didn’t push further.

With a hint of bitterness, Leo slipped the porcelain bottle into his pocket. His sister meant well, but no remedy

could bring back the dreams he had for the stage, now lost to his ailing body.

away overnight soothed. Humming a tune, he walked towards the parking lot, content. Mirabella followed,

puzzled by his cheerful mood.

When they reached the car, covered by a tarp, Shawn pointed at it mysteriously and said, “Darling, do the

honors.”

Mirabella glanced at it, then back at him. “Got a new car?”

“Yes, the old one was getting too run-down. With my quarterly bonus from work, | decided to upgrade.” Shawn

said, nodding emphatically. He didn’t mention it was also a reaction to the Gilbert family’s intimidating display of

wealth.

“Con, unveil it, and see what you think,” he urged with a grin.

Touching her nose, Mirabella reached out and pulled off the cover.
