Cherie helped Karlo into the house, and Madam Mina closed the shop door with the back of her hand while digging out two healing elixirs to pour down his throat.
"These aren't cheap, so I'm putting them on your tab. Remember to pay me back," she reminded him.
Karlo nodded.
After drinking the healing potion, his complexion markedly improved, and the injuries on his body visibly began to heal at a pace observable to the naked eye.
Cherie got some bandages and carefully started dressing Karlo's wounds while asking, "Teacher, what exactly happened here?"
Madam Mina pondered for a moment before answering, "It's none of our business, so you don't need to know."
Biting her lip, Cherie couldn't contain her curiosity, "Teacher, you always do this, never tell me anything. Since it's got nothing to do with us, surely there's no harm in me hearing about it?"
