Fane took a sharp intake of breath when he heard this. "Where?” he said, panicking." Help me wipe it off quickly!"
Lana could not help but grin at his flustered demeanor. She took out a piece of wet tissue. "Don't worry," she said. "I've got wet tissue here. I'll wipe it off for you!"
As she spoke, she pressed the wet tissue against Fane's face and carefully wiped the lipstick stain off.
The two were very close. Lana's heart pounded wildly as she was mere inches away from Fane's handsome profile.
After a while, she stepped backward, her cheeks slightly flushed. "All-all done!" “Thank you!"
Fane nodded his head. "It's about time.
Let’s go. We should get back. Everything went by very smoothly, and we've got all the herbs we need. We can find a proper antidote for my father now."
"All right. Let’s go!"
Lana threw the wet tissue into a trashcan nearby. The three quickly got onto the plane and left.
At that moment, in the Woods family's estate.
Lily's expression was grim. She called
Dean and Yolanda. "What's going on? It’s already been a few days. You still can't find Fane? Which branch family did he go to? You two had better think of a way to kill him, understand? And you can't let the members of the branch families witness it!'
On the other side of the phone, Dean flashed a bitter smile. "First Madam, we've visited over a dozen branch families over these past few days, and it shouldn't have been a problem catching up to Fane, with our speed. But we don't know why the branch families are all saying that Fane never came over. Not even one!"
