Wyatt's eyes flew open in alarm, staring at James. “The real Incense of Calm? How is that even possible...?”
James pinched the incense to extinguish it, handling it with care as he placed it back in the box. “That's the
scent.”
Wyatt's face transitioned rapidly from shock to a wild elation. “If it truly is the Incense of Calm, then perhaps
your condition could see a tic improvement.”
James fell silent for a beat, then added, “No, perhaps this one is even more special than the Incense of Calm I've
used before.”
Wyatt was speechless. The true Incense of Calm was exceedingly rare, practically priceless, and the one in
James’ possession seemed to surpass it in quality. Wyatt swallowed hard. He couldn’t even imagine its value.
Recalling his earlier assumption that it was a low-grade incense and his bold request to take shand use
it as an air freshener, Wyatt now felt an urge to bury himself in the ground. Thankfully, James hadn’t been fooled

Still, Wyatt's gaze returned to the box of incense, and after a few seconds of contemplation, he proposed.
“Perhaps we should have Nikolai take a look at it?”
It wasn’t that Wyatt doubted the incense, but if it was more special than the Incense of Calm, they needed
further confirmation on whether it would be even better for James’ health.
At that moment, Wyatt had forgotten the words Mirabella had said when she handed the incense to James. “This
should be of shelp to you.”
Half an hour later, at Nature's Apothecary.
When Nikolai lit a stick of the Incense of Calm and inhaled its aroma, his complexion changed. His fingers
trembled as he pointed at it. “This indeed is the Incense of Calm. The creator is a genius. They've blended
several medicinal herbs with the sandalwood base, which has al calming effect, and the medicinal afternotes

“Marvelous, truly marvelous!” Nikolai exclaimed, then looked up at James. “This Incense of Calm must have been
tailor-made, right?”
James looked at Nikolai with a deep gaze. “What makes you say that?”
“Because the mixed herbs are tailored to help with your current health condition. A herb like Cureroot is quite
potent. Ingesting it directly might further harm your body, which is why I've refrained from prescribing such
herbs for internal use.”
Nikolai shook his head with a wry smile, continuing, “But it's been ground into a powder and mixed with the
sandalwood to be used externally. This way, its medicinal properties will be

James, deep in thought, didn’t reply immediately.
Nikolai looked at him, his voice tinged with hope, “James, might you introduceto the person. who made this
incense?”
James snapped out of his reverie, a wry smile on his face as he shook his head. “To be honest, the incense was a
gift, and I'm certain the giver isn’t versed in herbal medicine.”
With a hint of disappointment in his eyes, Nikolai didn’t press the matter further.
Standing beside Nikolai, Ethan perked up when he heard the mention of the medicinal. ingredients. He was the
one who had sold the herbs to Mirabella. For sreason, he remembered the young lady who had bought the
sherbs the day before. She had event inquired about sandalwood. But then he shook his head dismissively.
Coincidences like that just didn’t happen in the real world.
“Nikolai,” Wyatt interjected, breaking his silence, “what you're saying is that if Mr. James uses this incense for his
treatment, there's a chance he could recover, right?”
