Chapter 740 Medicinal Pool
Minnie and Jennifer walked out of the hot spring and wrapped towels around their bodies. Theycontinued chatting happily as they made their way to the medicinal pool.
Donald and Pietro tagged along behind them. Upon reaching the medicinal pool, Donald observed athick white mist hovering above the surface of the water.
He observed the pool closely, taking note of the size and concentration of the mist emanating from thewater's surface. This led him to the conclusion that the temperature of the pool was significantly higherthan the others.
The moment Donald put one foot into the water, he felt a stinging sensation spreading across his skin.
The water temperature was not only high but also infused with various herbs.
Pietro entered the pool without hesitation as though the temperature was just right for him.
He taunted, “Are you just going to soak your feet outside the pool, Mr. Campbell? Don't tell me thewater is too hot for you. You won't enjoy the hot spring if you don't get inside and soak your entirebody.”
Donald chuckled aloud. “Oh? Then how should I enjoy the hot spring?”
Pietro gestured toward the pool and declared, “Why don't you immerse your entire body in therefreshing waters like I am doing? Keep your head outside, and you'll feel your muscles relax in no
time.” He gave Donald a challenging look. “Are you up for it? Do you have the guts to soak yourself inthe pool like me?”
Men are strangely competitive by nature. Though they were simply there to relax in the hot spring, afterPietro taunted him, Donald refused to back down.
Without preparing himself, Donald entered the pool.
Pietro was delighted to see that.
This particular pool was abundant with a diverse range of herbs, all of which possessed numeroushealth benefits for those who indulged in its waters.
Because of that, normal people could only spend less than fifteen minutes in the pool.
Pietro often immersed himself in this pool and could stay here longer than others.
His longest record was spending half an hour in this pool.
Pietro was afraid that Donald wouldn't accept his challenge, but now that Donald was inside the pool,he was certain he could get rid of him without alerting anyone else.
Both men enjoyed the pool while Jennifer and Minnie chatted aside.
The ladies were enjoying themselves and were unaware of the tension brewing between the two men.However, as time ticked by, Jennifer started to sense that something was amiss.
“Darling, if you're done, come on up. You can't spend too long in the hot spring,” she reminded.
Hearing that, Donald stretched his body.
He appeared to be on the verge of departing, prompting Pietro to ask, “Is everything okay, Mr.Campbell? Have you reached your limits? It looks like you're quite weak, huh?”
Did he just say I'm weak? novelbin
At Pietro's provocation, Donald shot him a look. He simply settled back into the pool and ignoredPietro's comment.
“Are you sure we don't need to take a break?” Donald asked as his lips curled into an amused smile.
Pietro had a smug expression on his face as he believed that Donald was chickening out. He was soconfident in himself that he flashed a grin and declared, “Nonsense! I've never heard of someonesuggesting taking a break at the hot springs.”
He glanced at the clock and realized they had been in the pool for seventeen minutes.
Strangely, Donald remained unfazed as though the pool had no effect on him at all.
Am I imagining things? Or is he already at his limits?
Pietro was also confused as to why Jennifer remained the same after taking the spiked drink.
The drug should be taking effect right now. Why are Jennifer and Minnie still chatting happily?
“What are you looking at?” Donald looked at Pietro, a smirk playing on his lips.
