Silas didn't agree right away. Instead, he continued to inquire, "Tell me the amount and what type of medicine do you want?"
If possible, he wanted to use his own connection to get the medicine instead of troubling Ivy. What if the medicine stock that Ivy had handed him was the last batch? If he requested medicine, then… wasn't he putting her in a difficult situation?
What if this were one of the other malicious moves that his family was planning to separate Ivy from him?
Silas couldn't be blamed for suspecting these things. The Blackthorn family indeed had a black history in this case.
Talia could read Silas's thoughts from his face and felt speechless. This… though she wanted to harshly retort, she could only swallow back the words and say patiently,
"It's one of my connections. They are ready to pay whatever amount Ivy wishes. Hundreds of people's lives are on line…"
