---- Chapter 2 I hadn't had a proper rest in so long that I fell into along, deep sleep. Forgotten memories slowly began to surface in my mind. Ross' sister and I had known each other since university. More than best friends, we were like family. She was poisoned by wolfsbane in an accident, so I began studying herbal medicine in search of an antidote to save her. I couldn't bear seeing her once lively self turn so silent, so I always stayed by her side, trying my best to make her smile. It was also at this time that I got to know Ross. At first, he was very guarded around me. He always ignored me whenever I tried speaking to him. All he did was focus on taking care of Stella. Later, when he noticed how much effort I put into studying herbs, he knew I wasn't just pretending ---- to be nice. Only then did he start accepting me. He no longer only smiled at Stella but began talking to me like a friend. He would even remember foods I casually mentioned liking and bring them to me the next time we met. He had gradually opened up his heart to me. Stella even tried to play matchmaker for us. " Jenny, my brother has never treated a girl this well. I think he has definitely fallen for you." Although I would act annoyed and stop her from mentioning this, my flushed face had long betrayed me. I could no longer look Ross straight in the eye. I wasn't sure if Ross had feelings for me, but I was sure I had fallen for him. When I graduated from university, I insisted on becoming a healer to treat Stella's wolfsbane poison despite my mother's opposition. ---- Stella was my best friend, the one who had always been by my side when I was suffering, so I couldn't bear losing her. That was why I had to work hard searching for herbs to treat her. Thanks to the help of a remarkably skilled healer, I finally found the herbs needed to cure Stella's wolfsbane poisoning. When I told Ross about the news, he joyfully pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead. " Jenny, let's get married once Stella's wolfsbane poisoning is cured." 1 looked into his gentle eyes and nodded in excitement. However, the surgery failed. The herbs had been swapped. Not only did they not cure Stella's wolfsbane poisoning, but they made it worse. In the end, Stella died from it.
