Chapter 3156 Poisons That Are Even More Potent Than This
"Alright, let's head to the living room on the second floor," suggested Luca, inviting Gale upstairs to the living room.
Gale carried the bag and followed her upstairs.
Aunt Neile watched them from behind and murmured, "Should I bring some refreshments up?"
When Lanie heard Aunt Neile muttering, he paused his homework and said, "No need, Aunt Neile. Ms. Luca and Uncle Gale are just going to chat for a bit.
There's no need to bring refreshments up."
"Okay, then I'll continue preparing dinner." Aunt Nelle nodded. She had just invited Gale to stay for dinner, but when she heard Lanie's words, she did not inquire further.
She knew Luca wanted to have a private conversation with Gale upstairs and thought it best to prepare more food just in case he decided to stay.
With that in mind, Aunt Neile began preparing dinner.
Upstairs, Gale sat on the couch and started to show Luca the herbs he had collected. "I just thought they looked similar to the pictures, but I'm not familiar with these herbs and haven't seen them before, so I'm not so sure about it."
The herbs were in pieces. Luca picked one up and asked, "Have they been processed by the herbalist?"
"Yeah. He said the stems were difficult to process, so he removed them before drying. Without the stems, I'm even less sure if these are the herbs you're looking for," replied Gale as he waited for her to identify.
If these were not the herbs Luca needed, someone would continue the search.
Luca took the herb to her nose and sniffed it. Her brows were slightly furrowed.
She had never seen these herbs before either. Even though Shanks had mentioned them to her, she was not certain about it.
Luca took out her phone and snapped a photo of the leaves, hoping the browser could identify them.
The search yielded a variety of plants...
Luca let out a sigh, then searched for the corresponding herb and carefully examined it based on its features. "It looks quite similar to the one in my hand."
After that, she just stuffed the herb right into her mouth.
"Dr. Craw!" Gale was startled by her action.
If this was the herb she was looking for, it could be poisonous.
"Don't worry, taking a bite of this herb will only introduce a trace amount of toxin. It's harmless. Besides, I'm taking the antidotes, so there shouldn't be a problem," explained Luca as she tasted the herb.
It was slightly bitter with a hint of bitter chrysanthemum flavor. "This is it. This is the one we're looking for."
Gale heaved a sigh of relief, then asked again, 'Are you sure it's safe?"
"I have poisons in my body that are even more potent than this. I'll be fine." Luca shook her head. The poisons in her body were from the drug administered by the Island of Despair to manipulate people.
Even though she took antidotes every month, they were essentially another form of poison.
It continually increased the poisons in her body.
Gale understood what was going on. If it were not for Luke eliminating the Island of Despair back then, he might have been drugged with the same thing.
The methods the Island of Despair used to control others were extremely cruel.
"Mr. Gale, can I see the other herbs?" asked Luca.
"Oh sure, I almost forgot. These are the ones I brought over. If you need anything, just let me know. The rest are stored with me," replied Gale. He took out all the other herbs.
Luca carefully examined the herbs. These were much easier to identify than the previous one. She nodded, indicating they were fine. "These are good enough. I'll let you know if I need more.
"I'm not sure what they're up to. I'm also at a loss, so I won't use up too many of these herbs."
After storing all the herbs, she invited Gale again, "Mr. Gale, you've worked hard these days. Why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"
"I'm sorry, but I have a dinner date. If the herbs are okay, I'll leave now. Goodbye, Ms. Craw." Gale stood up and was ready to leave.
He did have a dinner date tonight. Even though it was dinner with another man, it counted as a date. More importantly, if he stood the man up, he would probably be scolded for a week.
"Alright then. We're having a barbecue party at home on Saturday night. You and Rain should come." Luca invited them.
"That sounds good." Gale's eyes lit up. He was not particularly fond of barbecues, but he had his eye on the wine in Luke's collection.
With a barbecue party going on here, Luke would surely contribute some fine
wine.
Gale agreed, "Sure. See you on Saturday night."
"Sure, see you then. Just come over. You don't have to bring anything," emphasized Luca. She was worried they might bring gifts.
"Absolutely." Gale happily left.
Luca packed up the herbs. She thought that since she had already invited Gale
and Rain, she might as well send a message to Vivian too.
She planned to invite Vivian to join the fun as well.
Saturday nights were usually free for college students, so Vivian should be able
to attend. Plus, judging from her personality, she would surely be happy to join.
Sure enough, shortly after, Vivian replied and accepted the invitation.
Luca pondered for a moment about who else to invite.
However, after considering much, most of her previous relationships had faded since her return. There was no one else to invite except Jason and Sue.
Luca sent a message to Luke, asking him to invite Jason and his wife.
Luke would likely follow her decision. It did not take long before he replied, claiming that the invitation had been sent and that he had also notified Louis. When Luca saw Luke mentioning Louis, she furrowed her brows.
Susan lived next door...
Previously, Louis would definitely avoid coming over to avoid Susan. However, now that Luke had sent the invitation, Louis would probably accept it for Luke's
sake.
If Louis came and met Susan, would this lead to another round of conflict
between mother and son?
Or had they patched things up?

Luca did not press the issue. These
were not urgent matters, and she believed
Would Luke was not someone who
would make an impulsive decision.
She planned to ask him about it when he returned. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest

After storing the herbs, Luca headed downstairs.
The three kids had finished their homework. When they saw her come down,
Lanie said, "Ms. Luca, we've finished our homework."
"So soon?" Luca was surprised. Was tomorrow not Saturday? How did they finish
their weekend homework so quickly?

"We had self-study at school today,"
replied Lanie. He and Rainie had used O
the self-study time to finish a portion
of their homework, so it did not take them long to complete the rest when
they got home. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
Tommy added, "The teacher said the school is trying to reduce our workload, so
they didn't give US much homework. I've finished mine too."

Luca nodded and glanced at the
time. Since Luke had not said he
would not be coming back for dinner e tonight, she figured he would be back soon. She said, "Let's watch some TV for now. We'll have dinner when your daddy comes back." The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
