Chapter 378\u00a0<\/p>\n
After introducing her family, Sapphira turned to the man who had accompanied Larissa. \u201cMaster Bryant, thank you so much for your help today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t mention it,\u201d Bryant replied. \u201cAs Larissa\u2019s mentor, it\u2019s my duty to protect my student. If anything, I should be thanking you. I\u2019ve heard all about what happened when Larissa came to Regal City. You and Mr. Judson aren\u2019t her birth parents, yet you\u2019ve treated her with such genuine love. You nearly got hurt because of it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sapphira smiled. \u201cYou were her mentor, so you of all people should understand. Larissa may not be our biological daughter, but from the moment we met her, she became our daughter for life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m relieved to know she has parents she can trust,\u201d Bryant said with a sigh. He then looked at Larissa, his expression fond but reluctant. \u201cLarissa, since things here are settled, I should be getting back. My old lady is waiting for me at home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haskell also smiled gently at Larissa. \u201cI should get back to the office as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, Haskell,\u201d Larissa said, taking his arm. \u201cI\u2019m taking Bryant home today and won\u2019t be back until tomorrow, so let me treat you now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright,\u201d Haskell agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bryant waved his hand. \u201cLarissa, you don\u2019t need to escort me. Stay here and spend time with your grandparents\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBryant, we live in Regal City,\u201d Gloria interjected. \u201cWe can see Larissa whenever we want. But you live so far away, it\u2019s not easy to visit. Please, let her take you home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bryant finally relented. He did want to spend a little more time with Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa smiled. \u201cThen it\u2019s settled. Bryant, you rest here for a bit. After I treat Haskell and we have lunch, I\u2019ll take you home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSounds good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa had Crispin carry Haskell to her room for the treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the three of them went upstairs, Bryant couldn\u2019t help but say again, \u201cMr. and Mrs. Judson, thank you for giving Larissa the parental love she\u2019s always deserved. Even with all the villagers who doted on her, I know what she craved most was the love of a mother and father.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Sapphira and Neville exchanged a look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBryant, please tell us more about her past,\u201d Sapphira requested softly. \u201cHer father and I want to understand everything she\u2019s been through.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
work Bryant nodded. \u201cSix years ago, my wife went into the mountains to find new specimens for my and was bitten by three venomous snakes. We neutralized the poison, but she was left with lingering side effects. I took the three snakes that bit her and we traveled everywhere, looking for a cure. Eventually, we heard about a famous healer in a place called Spire Village. When we found Larissa,\u00a0<\/p>\n

she was only fourteen, but her medical skill was extraordinary. With just a few silver needles, she completely cured my wife. She refused any payment, asking only for the three small snakes I had captured.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI learned that Larissa had a natural affinity for venomous creatures but couldn\u2019t quite control them. As a thank you, I offered to stay and teach her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOver those six years, I often overheard her talking to the snakes and insects.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
