Emotions rippled in Xyla’s eyes.
A while later, Janine was struck with realization and blurted, “Those medicine formulas!?”
She knew that the ancestors of the Irwins were royal doctors in the palace and had been for generations. They
later combined the local herbs unique to Southeast Aciatic and came up with a set of formulas that they used until
this day.
Xyla nodded with mixed feelings.
Janine looked at her. “Those formulas were supposed to be yours! Rowan giving them to you is returning them to
the rightful owner, yet you’re still hung up on him?”
“The formulas aren’t mine,” Xyla said softly. “The Irwins’ formulas had long been lost. My grandfather later
sponsored a medical student, Rowan’s birth father, who became our family’s right-hand man. The medicine

“The whole set of medicine went viral back then, but… since I left the family, all types of medicine produced by the
Irwins’ drug manufacturing factory have switched formulas.”
Janine was stunned. “Because the formulas are with you? This… shouldn’t be. Rowan must have long memorized
the set of formulas!”
The air went quiet suddenly. Only the bubbling of the kettle could be heard.
“Is this… considered the last piece of memory he’s left you?” Janine’s voice was low. “But why did he give them to
you?”
Xyla took a deep breath and elaborated slowly, “I’ve never met Rowan’s birth father. Since I could remember, I
treated him as my elder brother. After I grew up, I found out he was an adopted son. After that…”
After that, they fell in love, and Rowan doted on and spoiled her.
No one wished the relationship well back then. Her parents, the family, and even Janine, who had always been close
to her, did not support it.
Xyla had left home out of anger and intended to elope with her love, but the Irwins switched their leader in the blink
of an eye.
Rowan had tricked everyone—including her!
She had fallen hard. Her entire family despised her, and everyone she had been close with turned their backs on
her. The day she was chased out of Southeast Aciatic, Rowan officially took over Irwin Pharmaceuticals.
She later found out that Rowan’s hatred had long been planted in him. Her grandfather had caused an explosion in
the lab of the drug manufacturing factory many years ago in order to obtain the formulas. Rowan’s father was in
the lab when it happened…
Janine stroked Xyla’s back and could not help feeling bad for her as she felt the latter’s shaking body. More of it was

“So I was right!” Janine got emotional. “Rowan did use you and abandon you!”
“No!” Xyla looked at her. “He came to me after that. A few years after I gave birth to Cordelia. He had been looking
for me!”
“So you caved? And gave birth to his son?” Janine really wanted to crack Xyla’s head open to see what she was
thinking.
“Xyla Irwin, you fool! I hope your daughter hasn’t inherited this part of you.”
Xyla fell silent for a moment before she said softly, “That last time, I made it clear with Rowan. Our grudges
wouldn’t be resolved ever. I won’t return to the Irwins, and I hope he won’t come to me again.”
“You…” Janine really did not know what to say. In the end, she scoffed. “How noble of you!”
Xyla chuckled, looking at her.
Both of them were different. Janine was rational and could remain calm no matter what happened. She could think
straight and make decisions that were the best for her.
Xyla was intuitional. Everything was meaningless without feelings and relationships in her world.
