His Precious Love

Chapter 683 Serekos Skin Care

Just as Cassidy hunched over to pick it up, a Serekos wriggled over, frightening her into retracting her hand. Then,

she used the tongs to pick up the small crystal instead.

“What is this?” Cassidy studied the crystal under the sun for a while, but she still could not figure out what it was.

“That's a chip.” The corner of Curtis' lips twitched when he realized she had yet to figure out what it was. “To be

specific, that's a chip meant for location tracking.”

“Location tracking?” Cassidy mumbled, not quite registering his words. Only when Yasmin pointed at the

surveillance cameras in the courtyard did she widen her eyes in understanding.

“Oh d*mn!” Cassidy instantly shuddered and made to throw the crystal away, but Curtis stopped her. “Don't throw it

just yet. Hold onto it. We still have use for it.”

Cassidy gave him a confused look. “We can still use it? How?”

“There should be some records in this crystal. I can get the research department to recover it for you. If we're

lucky, you can even use this to find out every move the other party makes,” Curtis solemnly told her.

Cassidy dubiously looked at him. “Are you a researcher?”

“No,” he said.

As Cassidy fidgeted with the crystal, she clicked her tongue. “Tsk. If you're not one, why should I believe you?”

“Have trust in my wife even if you don't believe me,” Curtis uttered.

Cassidy frowned. “Your wife doesn't even know me anymore.”

Rayna, who Curtis was shielding in his arms, stiffened. She then lifted her head and tried to turn around, but Curtis

covered her eyes. “Don't look at those things.”

“Cassidy, I believe in my husband. If he says they can recover the data, then it must be true,” Rayna explained as

she continued to stay in Curtis' arms. “Also, about the matter of forgetting you, I honestly don't remember this at

all.”

The grievances in Cassidy's heart seeped away when she heard that, and she huffed, “All right, all right. I'll believe

you.”

With that, she walked over to Curtis and handed the crystal to him. “Remember what you've said.”

“Of course,” Curtis promised before taking Rayna to the backyard, leaving Cassidy and Yasmin to continue picking

up the crawling Serekos from the ground.

Once they returned to the backyard, Rayna pulled away the man's hand over her eyes and asked, “Do the Serekos

look terrifying?”

“They look like leeches,” Curtis answered.

Leeches...

The thought of those soft creatures raised goosebumps on her arms, and she could not help but shudder.

Amused by her reaction, Curtis asked, “Do you still want to take a look at them?”

“Huh? Why would I want to do that?” Rayna responded before taking a step forward. However, the second she took

her first step, she heard the sound of something getting squashed. “Curtis, I think I stepped on something.”

Curtis lowered his head to look at her foot. “Lift your leg. I'll take a look at it.”

Rayna closed her eyes and lifted her leg. Instantly, Curtis saw a pile of viscous black liquid on the ground, as well as

something falling off Rayna's shoe. When he took a step closer, he realized it was a Serekos.

“What is it?” Rayna asked, balancing herself by putting her hands around Curtis's neck while keeping her leg lifted.

“A Serekos,” Curtis replied. As he spoke, he took off the shoe she had stepped on the Serekos with and lifted her

into his arms before carrying her back into the house.

In the meantime, after Cassidy kept all the Serekos that had been sprayed with the solution into the bag, she sat on

the stone bench in the courtyard and panted. “This is so tiring!”

“Ms. Cassidy, here, some water.” Yasmin walked over with the jug.

Cassidy then filled a cup of water before downing it. As she poured another cup for herself, she asked, “Yasmin,

say, how did the Serekos end up in my bag?”

Yasmin shook her head.

“I just hope that the weather for the next few days will be good.” Cassidy sighed as she looked at the herbs in the

yard. Tightening her grip around her cup, she hissed, “D*mn you, Fernando Zeller!”

“Ms. Cassidy, how do you know that it's Nando?” Yasmin gave her a confused look. “Doesn't Nando dote on you the

most? Why would he do something like this?”

“Who the h*ll knows?” Cassidy slammed the cup onto the table. “Maybe his godfather's in one of his crazy phases

again! Ugh, forget it. I don't want to talk about it anymore.”

At that, she poured herself another cup of tea and rested for half an hour in the courtyard before going to the

backyard.

Right as she stepped into the backyard, she saw the black pool of goo on the ground. Immediately, she shook from

anger. “Who stepped on this?”

The moment Rayna heard Cassidy's angry roar, she nudged Curtis and said, “Find out what's going on with Cassidy.”

Curtis drew his brows together and slowly made his way toward the doorway. He then saw Cassidy trying to mop

the black stain on the ground, but no matter how much force she used, she could not get rid of the stain.

“Did Isabelle touch this?” Cassidy loudly asked Curtis as she pointed at the single shoe on the ground. “You can't

touch this with your bare hands!”

“No,” Curtis muttered and looked at the Serekos' body on the ground. A dark look crossed his eyes, and he said, “Is

it impossible to get rid of this bug's liquid?”

Cassidy sighed before grabbing a pair of tongs to pick up the squashed Serekos before tossing it to the flowerbed at

the side.

Right as she threw it, a blue-winged bird dived down and took the Serekos away.

“What bird is that?” Rayna asked, having seen the bird when she walked over to Curtis' side.

“That's a freckled hawk,” Cassidy explained as she took out some kind of medicinal solution to sprinkle on the

ground. Immediately, the black stain turned into a pool of watery blood.

Staring at the watery blood, Curtis asked, “So the blood of the Serekos was originally red?”

“Obviously. What color did you think it would be? Green?” Cassidy refuted. “It's black because of a type of pigment

in it—LT. It's very hard to get rid of it once it stains somewhere, but LT has skin-care properties. As to what specific

properties those are, I have no idea either. I only know that a newspaper covered this in the past.”

Cassidy mopped the ground again, and this time, the watery blood was easily cleaned away.

Rayna found the new information interesting. “Cassidy, is it true that the Serekos can be used for skin care?”

“Of course!” Cassidy replied while walking toward the tap to wash the mop. “The PQM in the Serekos can also affect

the regrowth of skin cells to a certain extent.”

“But you said it was good for skin care just now,” Rayna pointed out after mulling over Cassidy's words.
