For a while after, the cave was creepily quiet.


    It was already dark outside, and the cave was pitch ck. In the silence, Quinn was starting to nod off.


    Later, Alexander got up and headed out.


    The stuff Sean sent had arrived, including smokes and table salt. Since they weren''t sure what he needed, they just bought everything.


    The drop-off spot was a bit far, and it took Alexander a few minutes to get there.


    "Mr. Kennedy, everything you asked for is here. If you need anything else, just holler. Want me to bring you a nket or something?" Sean asked. Alexander grabbed the items and suddenly asked, "Did you find out what drug Alistair gave Quinn?"


    Sean replied, "Yeah, it''s a drug that cranks up sexual desire, only found on the ck market. It''s super pricey. One pill costs over $50,000, and it''s rare. Without connections, you''d have to fight to get it, and sometimes the price can shoot up to nearly $200,000." "Anything else?" Alexander asked.


    "This drug is mostly taken by men. It''s said to boost a man''s sexual performance, with effectssting up to a month. I''m not saying it causes an erection for a month, but its effects can stay in the body for a month, ready to be triggered anytime," Sean exined.


    Alexander frowned. "What kind of weird stuff is this?"


    "I don''t know either. You good?" Sean teased.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    Alexander shot him a cold look.


    Even through the camera, Sean felt a chill down his spine. "My bad. Is Mrs. Kennedy okay?"


    He added, "Some people use this to train women to satisfy men''s sexual desires and then sell them."


    He''d watched a few recorded videos, which broadened his understanding. ''Man, the world is full of weird stuff,'' he thought.


    "Is there an antidote?" Alexander asked.


    "I didn''t find that out. But since it''s hard to buy in the first ce, how could there be an antidote? Besides, the effects onlyst a month. Some people even think that''s too short," Sean remarked.


    Alexander fell silent.


    After a long pause, he finally spoke, "A month?"


    "Yeah, a month. But I don''t think it''s that long. At most, seven or eight days, and then the effects start to fade," Sean said with some disdain, thinking it wasn''t worth the price. Alexander said nothing more and took the items back.


    He didn''t go inside. Instead, he smoked outside the cave all night and only went in when it was daylight.


    Quinn was still asleep, curled up in a ball. Alexander immediately noticed the bloody bite marks on her hand.


    Maybe because Alexander had been staring at her for too long, she woke up under his gaze.


    As soon as she opened her eyes, she met his intense gaze.


    She looked away and stared at the moss on the wall, a wave of indescribable embarrassment washing over her.


    She didn''t know what Alistair had given her, but the thought of continuing in her current state filled her with despair.


    She couldn''t ept bing like this.


    Alexander took her hand, making her tremble slightly. Sensing her reaction, he softened his movements and used the water from his canteen to clean her wound. "Don''t worry. The effects of the drug won''tst long," he said.


    His words somewhat reassured Quinn, but the vagueness of "won''tst long" made her ask, "How long?"


    "About half a month," he answered.


    Half a month.


    Quinn closed her eyes weakly, suddenly feeling that time had be unbearably long.


    "Don''t bite yourself anymore. If you need anything, you cane to me, no extra charge," Alexander said.
