At that moment, Momo's soft voice rang from the phone.
"Happy birthday to you..."
Fade began humming softly to Momo's singing, "Happy birthday to you..."
The soothing singing brought back to Fade all the bits and pieces of memories he shared with Quin. He recalled her last birthday.
Fade still clearly remembered that birthday.
Quin's last birthday had been celebrated at a karaoke centre. Because he was late, he had to use a bouquet of choy sum as flowers in the end. Of course, he had also enjoyed the "beautiful" singing of his wife.
As they sang, the scenes of their time together played in Fade's mind, and he feared up a little.
When the song ended, Fade gently stroked Quin's cheek, and said softly but firmly, "My dear wife, please believe in me. I will definitely cure your illness."
On the other side of the phone, Momo heard Fade speak. She comforted him, saying, "I believe that my sister will get better too." "Yes, definitely!" Fade said firmly.
"Please spend more time with my sister," said Momo before she hung up.
Fade put the phone away and wiped the tears from his eyes. After that, he took a deep breath and put a look of determination on his face.
At that moment, Fade's cell phone rang again.
Fade thought it was Momo who called again, but when he took out his mobile phone, the caller ID showed that it was Franklin.
Suddenly, Fade's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly answered the call, "Guardian Chang, is there news about the herbal medicine?"
Over the phone, Franklin sounded quite excited too. He said, "Mr. Chen, I have looked into the last herbal medicine you're looking for, the Fire Flame Plant. I've got some news about it."
"What? That's great! Where is it? Do you have it now?" Fade was extremely excited.
After all, Fire Blame Plant was the final and the most critical medicinal ingredient he needed to cure his wife's cold syndrome.
It had been almost two months since he had asked Franklin to locate that herbal medicine. There was finally some news about it. There was no way he could suppress his excitement.
On the other end of the line, Franklin said, "Mr. Chen, we only got a clue about who has the Fire Blame Plant but we haven't gotten it yet."
"Then, you'd better get it quickly. It doesn't matter how much it is. If we need to sell them our herbal medicines or kung fu skills, as long as the other party agrees to sell it, you don't have to be stingy. You must get it quickly," Fade said excitedly.
Franklin informed, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry but I am afraid you will have to do it yourself."
"Do it myself? Have you encountered some trouble over there? The other party won't sell it?" Fade asked in confusion.
Franklin explained, "No, Mr. Chen. We discovered that the Fire Blame Plant was recently sold at an auction house in Earlington."
"Someone at the auction site spent a high price of twenty billion Micovia dollars to buy the herbal medicine. It's just that the auctioneer was anonymous so we could not find out anything about him."
"Later on, after thoroughly investigating, I found out that it was bought by the richest man from the Li family. The Li family bought this herbal medicine in order to treat the Old Master, Fenrir." "However, it seems that the Fire Blame Plant had no effect on the Old Master's condition. Therefore, the herbal medicine remained in the Li's house."
Hearing that, Fade was suddenly startled, "The richest man in China, Li Family, Fenrir. Are you talking about the Li family in Jade City?"
Franklin said, "Yes, the Li family in Jade City. That's why you'll need to do this yourself."
