The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Unaware of the Value of the Medicine Given by Nathalie Quinlan_1

Previously, this medicine cost about five million per pill, but now money isn’t the issue; the issue is that you might not be able to buy it even if you have the five million.

It has to be exchanged for something even more valuable than money!

When Nathalie Quinlan made a move, she gave away a whole bottle, and the one she gave Shawn Norton had at least a dozen pills—which, frankly, their value couldn’t be measured in money.

And yet, Shawn Norton treated it as if it were just some regular health supplement, saying he didn’t want it.

Luckily, Nathalie Quinlan didn’t take it back, only saying to him, ”Mr. Yapiter has some, I got him another bottle.”

A trace of helplessness flashed through her ink-black eyes, and she pursed her lips to say, ”It’s not easy to buy this medicine, I just happened to get more than a dozen extra. If you don’t want to take it, just leave it there. If one day you feel unwell, taking one would also be fine. In any case, it’s more effective than the ones you buy outside.”

”Is it that miraculous?” Shawn Norton picked the bottle back up, the transparent glass container held colorful pills shaped like grapes and apples, almost the same size as ordinary tablets. He looked at them curiously and asked, ”Are these vitamins?”

Ordinary vitamins also liked to be made like this, oranges for vitamin C, grapes for vitamin E; it was hard to tell what these were, but they did look similar to vitamins.

Nathalie Quinlan rested one hand on the chair, with both long legs propped up to the side, leaning there slightly, not even lifting her eyelashes as she said in an offhand tone, ”Mmm, you could think of it as a vitamin, pretty much the same effect, all about strengthening and maintaining good health.”

”Oh.” Shawn Norton believed the pills she gave him were just vitamins, not thinking too much of it, he took the bottle, though somewhat reluctantly, ”Actually, I don’t really need to take vitamins. I’ve had health checks recently, no issues like high blood pressure, cholesterol, or sugar. I’m very healthy.”

If Lowie Wilmar were here and saw his reluctant to take them expression, he’d surely be so frustrated he’d want to hop around shouting—’Don’t give it to me then!’

Alas, Lowie Wilmar wasn’t there.

No one told him about the pill’s value, and he had no idea that the unassuming, brandless pills Nathalie Quinlan gave him could be exchanged for a whole courtyard house.

Nathalie Quinlan: ”Cure diseases if sick, prevent if not.”

”If you don’t want to take them, you could give them to someone else. If someone feels unwell, giving them one could save their life for half an hour.”

”What kind of vitamin has that effect?” Shawn Norton didn’t believe her, thinking she was joking with him, a hint of a smile appearing on his stern face.

Nathalie Quinlan was wild, her eyes containing a mix of roguish confidence, ”The ’vitamin’ I gave you has that effect.”

Shawn Norton laughed in spite of himself, ”You kid...”

He said this, but his head shook, taking the item to save face, telling her, ”Alright, I’ll remember. The vitamin you gave is like a panacea; if I really run into a life-threatening situation, I’ll use it to save someone.”

He meant it half-jokingly, half-teasingly, but who would have guessed the girl sitting opposite him would naturally respond with an ”Mhm,” as if she hadn’t been joking at all.

He couldn’t help but laugh in spite of himself again.

”Sorry to interrupt,” just as they were speaking, the waiter brought over the water, her face flushed as she stole glances at Nathalie Quinlan, saying bashfully, ”Um... the water you asked for.”

Nathalie Quinlan sat up straight, taking the glass from her hand, and with eyes as dark as a moonless night, she met her gaze and said, ”Thank you.”

Her voice was low, as if whispering right in the ear.

”...No, no need to thank me.” The waitress’s face suddenly turned as red as a big apple, her hand shaking, nearly spilling the glass, turning pale with fright, and utterly panicked.
