"Hmmm. I got 3 pounds, 1 shilling, and a few pennies left. That shopping didn't cost me that much."
Carter returned to the Desilet's estate.
When he entered the house, Charles and Peter were drinking tea and eating biscuits in the living room.
"Dr. Hugo! Peter came to wake you earlier but you didn't respond. We thought you were still asleep." Charles said.
"I have to go visit the market early to find ingredients."
Charles's eyes lit up in joy. "You found a cure?"
"Possibly." Carter nodded.
He set the heavy Brewer's Chest down on the ground along with his Medical Bag.
"Enjoy your tea, Dr. Hugo."
Peter poured a cup of tea for him.
"Thank you, Peter."
Carter was thirsty from all those walking. He took a big gulp down.
"So?" Charles leaned over. "What did you learn?"
"Do you know about Negative Energy, Mr. Desilet?"
Charles's eyes widened suddenly. He and Peter shared a glance.
"I'm assuming both of you do?" Carter said.
They nodded.
