That was why Rachel Wood didn’t say anything.Things had already gotten to this point. Regardless of what she said, nothing would change.Seeing how hurt Sebastian Brenand appeared made her heart ache greatly.The thing she was most afraid of was to watch Sebastian getting hurt…In the end, she still saw it happening.If it was possible, Rachel hoped Sebastian didn’t know anything about this at all.“Rachel, you fool!” Sebastian said again as he caressed her face gently. His fingers trembled continuously.“Sorry… I lied to you…” Rachel stammered.“If you’re sorry, stay strong and live on. I’ve already summoned a specialist group for you. They’ll be here very soon. Once they arrive, they’ll make sure you are cured,” Sebastian said.“Sebastian… Don’t waste your efforts. Cancer cells have spread all over my body. I can’t be cured,” Rachel said with a bitter laugh. “Listen to me. Tell them not to come. Don’t waste any more money on me,” she added.“It’s my duty to spend money on

Sebastian Brenand didn’t dare to think what would become of him if Rachel Wood really died. He believed that he definitely wouldn’t be able to bear the pain of losing her the second time.The woman in his arms was getting weaker by the second. Sebastian felt truly afraid that he would lose her the next second.No matter what, he had to make sure this person was cured.“Oh, right… There’s still Dr. Batton…” Right then, Sebastian suddenly thought of Ron Batton.Ron’s medical skills were even better than those internationally-renowned specialists…Sebastian immediately called Stanley Batton on the phone.On the other end of the phone, in Dragon Group’s president’s office, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton were sitting by the coffee table, drinking coffee and playing Honor of Kings.Xyla was lazily resting on the sofa’s soft armrest with her legs placed naturally on Stanley’s lap. She held her phone with both hands, and she seemed very focused.Meanwhile, Stanley leaned gently against

Immediately after that, Stanley Batton, Gary Lakes, and Henry Armstrong took the lead to get out of the helicopter.The three men were dressed in suits of black, white, and gray. They gave off a noble aura. In fact, they appeared even more attractive than male protagonists in idol dramas.The next second, Xyla Quest and Ron Batton also got out of the helicopter together.The handsome men and the beautiful woman stunned everyone who saw them—“Am I watching an idol drama? Those four people are way too good-looking, aren’t they?”“The main thing is their vibes… Aren’t they fantastic?”“I think that woman and the man holding her hand both look a little familiar. I might have seen them somewhere.”“Could they be celebrities?”“I doubt celebrities would go around in such a high-profile manner. I think they are probably people with rich parents.”The crowd couldn’t help but talk among themselves.Many couldn’t resist stopping in their tracks to ogle at the group of people…Xyla an

“I did experiments on ten mice with advanced cancer before. Among those ten mice, only one survived… I heard that you invited many specialists to come over, didn’t you? Once they arrive, we’ll get together to come up with a suitable plan. As for whether we can succeed, that will depend on this girl’s luck…” Ron Batton added.Sebastian Brenand nodded enthusiastically.Even if there was only a one percent chance, it was better than nothing.Right now, he only hoped that Rachel Wood could be the lucky one to be cured.He simply hoped for a miracle to happen…“Okay, everyone else should leave… The patient needs to rest now… Stan and Xyla can stay behind. Let me know once the specialist group arrives… ” Ron said.Right after Ron spoke, Sebastian nodded again. After that, he looked deeply at Rachel…He stood there for a long while before leaving with Gary Lakes and Henry Armstrong.Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, and Ron were the only three people left in the large ICU.Ron immediately

But Rachel Wood, who was on the bed, was still not responding at all.On the heartbeat monitor, her heart rate was still rapidly decreasing…Due to the plummeting rate, a beeping alarm could be heard. It was a loud screeching that was painful to the ear…Sebastian Brenand was in complete disarray. He repeatedly shouted next to Rachel like a mad man. “Rachel Wood… Rachel Wood, wake up… Do you hear me?”The person in the bed had a pale, greenish complexion. Her lips had a faint purple hue.Although her body rose and fell along with the defibrillators, there was no response at all.“No… I don’t want you to die… Rachel, if you die, what will I do? Wake up.“Don’t you love me? Hmm?”Sebastian felt truly afraid. He was afraid that Rachel would die in the next second…At that moment, Xyla Quest was also sweating profusely from the nervousness.She began to press the defibrillators against Rachel more frequently…Ron Batton and the other specialists nearby were all worried about Rac

Sebastian Brenand’s smile gradually widened. “It’s true… Dr. Batton’s traditional medicine, coupled with conventional chemotherapy, really does work effectively.”“Does that mean I have a chance at survival?” Rachel Wood asked.“As long as you persist, you really might be able to…” Sebastian said.“Alright.”“For me, you must be a good girl and receive the treatment, okay?” Sebastian asked.“Alright.”Now, Sebastian’s words had filled Rachel with confidence. She believed that, as long as she tried hard enough, she would be able to survive.***As Rachel was doing better, Xyla Quest brought Ron Batton back to Atlantis.At the same time, Sebastian also dismissed the specialists he had found, leaving only three of the top-notch ones behind.In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.After a comprehensive examination, the doctors were certain that her cancer cells had been thoroughly removed. Rachel was discharged from the hospital right away.On the same day, Sebastian brough

Following Sebastian Brenand’s footsteps, Rachel Wood made her way into the house.The house was of typical European style.It had a grand, courtly style with gold and jade embellishment. There was also her favorite type of tasseled crystal chandelier that dangled from the ceiling.On top of that, there were also her favorite European-style furniture and her favorite rose-scented fragrance in the air.Everything was prepared exactly the way she liked.“I like everything here…” Rachel said.Sebastian instantly reached out with his and naturally pulled her into his arms. “Yeah… I had it decorated to your liking.”“I like it a lot…” Rachel said.“Hmm, as long as you like it…” With that, Sebastian reluctantly released her. He then walked to the coffee table before opening a drawer under it. He retrieved a kraft paper bag and handed it over to Rachel directly. “These are for you…” He said.The bag was heavy. Rachel looked at Sebastian with a bewildered look on her face. After that,

After having dinner at Dream Garden, Stanley Batton, Xyla Quest, and Ron Batton returned home together.As soon as they arrived home, Ron went upstairs.Stanley took Xyla’s hand and walked her to the sofa in the living room. He then extended his arms and pulled her into his embrace.Xyla obediently snuggled up to him like a kitten. “Have you not found the person who killed Emily and May yet?” she asked.“No…” Stanley said.“Apart from the cause of death, we’ve not found anything. I’ve already looked for other detectives to assist Carson’s investigation,” he added.Xyla nodded wearily. “What about Zack? He brought some people to look for Yaksha. It’s been a month and a half now… Logically, we should’ve received news by now.”“Not for now…” As soon as Stanley said that, he received a call from Zack Cassidy.He then answered the call and turned on the loudspeaker.“Mr. Batton… I found traces of Yaksha on a nameless island in a cloudless part of the sea…” Zack said.Once Xyla hea
