Calista humd a tune as she climbed the indoor stairs that led to the second floor where her rooms were.
In order to bring her desired husband's candidate to life, she needed to save him first. Without healing him, it would be the sa as becoming a widow twice, even without getting married.
It wasn't easy to find soone she liked easily like that and in such a backward place as Cropville Village.
As for how he found himself there and, on her hill, that would be another story for another day for her.
Calista went to the main bedroom where she walked over to the cabinet where she pulled a drawer, exposing several crystal-clear bottles with liquid inside.
She picked up two of the bottles from the drawer, leaving several of them before heading back to the first floor, where she left the handso stranger.
Calista opened the door lightly, afraid of causing any disturbance. Before she was done dealing with the man, she didn't want to see him waking up at all.
When she saw him in the sa position she left him before, she was relieved.
Calista crouched down so that she was in a position where she could treat the man of his wounds.
Calista began to dutifully wipe the man's body she loved the most with so of that liquid she brought from her bedroom earlier.
After wiping the whole body with the liquid, she closed the bottle and set it aside. She then took the other bottle with a dark liquid and opened it carefully before looking at the man's face.
"I am sorry dear, but for both of our sakes, I am afraid that I can only do this!" she dejectedly said before she poured the dark liquid on a wet cloth.
Calista frowned and her expression seed to be that of a person having trouble contemplating but after struggling for a bit, she raised her hand and firmly wiped the man's left cheek diagonally leaving a trace of the dark liquid where she wiped.
After doing that, she closed the bottle and looked at the man's face regretfully.
"Don't worry, in the future, once everything has settled, wifey will definitely return what I took back from you!" she vowed as she stood on her feet.
Calista took a look at his face again and seeing that diagonal dark line on his left cheek, a wave of regret and relief washed over her.
'It's all for your own good!' she reassured herself once again before leaving.
The second she left the room, the man who was supposed to be unconscious suddenly snapped his eyes open. Those black eyes, looking so deep as if one would find a deep pool inside of them, looked very cold.
The man narrowed his eyes dangerously as he scanned the room hurriedly while licking his lips.
'What did you do to , my unseen wife?' he couldn't help but wonder as he felt his left cheek itching familiarly.
"Pidi, pada."
However, as he was in the process of investigating what was happening, the sound of footsteps approaching sounded forcing him to shut his eyes once again.
When Calista entered the room, she didn't find anything suspicious but simply continued to do what she had planned earlier.
After wiping his body down and applying dicine, Calista took it upon herself to dress the man once again.
Since she had undressed him before to dress his wounds, she needed to dress him again. Otherwise, he would get sick after getting blown with the wind.
Calista vanished again from the room and returned shortly with a mattress, pillow and quilts. Inside the room, there was only the permanent bed base, but no mattress. She couldn't let the man sleep on the hardwood base, so she made the bed for him.
When she was done, she lifted him easily as if he weighed nothing and carried him to the bed where she gently made him lie while taking into consideration his wounds.
"Now, I just need to let the dicine do its job. By the latest tomorrow morning, he should be awake. I need to prepare more food!" she said out loud excitedly.
Calista's gaze on the man didn't shift but road his face for a while before she smiled satisfactorily.
Satisfied with her hard work, Calista excused herself, as she had a lot of things to finish before dusk.
Inside the guest bedroom, the man who was supposed to be sleeping once again opened his eyes and this ti around, his eyes contained a certain lancholy.
'Who is she? And what is she doing in such a backward place?' he couldn't help but ask himself as he checked his arms, which were healing at an increasingly fast pace.
'What kind of godly dicine did she give ?' he was most curious about that as he felt the spiritual energy spreading throughout his body, healing his inner wounds.
As soone who knew himself pretty well, he was pretty shocked when he felt how effective the dicine that shaless woman had applied to his body.
When he appeared a while ago, it was by accident actually. Never in a million years did he expect to appear in such a dangerous place.
The fatal wounds on his body were all caused by that invisible shield he was thrown into after erging from that portal. Who would have known that the trip was so dangerous to the extent that he nearly lost his life?
No wonder why that person repeatedly warned him that unless he was confident, and it was really serious, he shouldn't do it. But how could he just accept defeat and accept the fate that he loathed the most?
In the end, he decided to put all his stakes on that bet, and the result was this.
And thinking about the woman who saved him, could it be that she was the answer to what he was looking for?
Otherwise, how could she take out such godly dicine that could heal him all at once like that?
'For the anti, I guess I should lie low and see. Who knows, I might get a bountiful harvest by sticking around?'
