“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
Two hours later, a black helicopter with Dragon Group’s logo on it arrived at the nameless island where Zack Cassidy was located…The helicopter was only twenty meters above the ground.From the co-pilot’s seat, Xyla Quest could clearly observe the situation below.A lush forest covered the large island, and she couldn’t see what was beneath at all.At first, she thought she’d be able to see Zack and the others from up there and that she’d be able to determine where exactly someone could live on the island…However, she didn’t expect to be unable to see anything.After checking out the situation below, Stanley Batton repeatedly flew the helicopter in circles around the island….Ultimately, they still couldn’t see what was inside the island.There was lush greenery all over the island, covering everything below it completely.Xyla tried her best to see what was beneath all the lush greenery, but she still couldn’tIt was the same case for Stanley.“It looks like… We’ll just h
As soon as Stanley Batton stepped off the helicopter, he quickly went to Xyla Quest’s side.Noticing that Xyla was lost in thought, Stanley ruffled her hair. “What’s wrong with you? Hmm?” He asked.When Xyla heard him, she immediately grabbed Stanley’s hand tightly, seemingly stunned. “My pendant fell to the ground and shattered. After that, it turned into spots of light that flew into my eyes. Would you believe that?”Stanley couldn’t resist laughing a little. “Why are you saying such silly things? Hmm? Are you so tired that you’re hallucinating?”Xyla gently tugged at the empty white chain around her neck. “I’m telling the truth…”Stanley looked blandly at the chain around her neck. After that, he looked down and searched the ground…Indeed, there was nothing on the ground, and her pendant had also indeed disappeared.“Could it have dropped in the helicopter?” Stanley said. He completely disregarded what she said and was about to turn around to look for her pendant on the heli
At this moment, Zack Cassidy and the others were like headless chickens constantly looking for a way out.Everyone seemed exhausted, and despair was written all over their faces.When they saw Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton arriving with help, light was suddenly restored to their eyes.“Mr. Batton! Madam!” Everyone said in unison.After that, Zack brought a dozen bodyguards with him and ran to Xyla and Stanley.“Hmm… Are you all okay? Did you get hurt?” Xyla asked concernedly. After that, she carefully scanned.“We didn’t get hurt,” Zack said.“That’s good.” Xyla finally felt relieved.After saying that, she waved at the bodyguards behind her.Soon, the bodyguards brought mineral water to Zack and the others in an organized manner.Zack and the rest directly opened the bottled mineral water and emptied half of the bottles in their hands.“Here, the conventional compass and geomantic compass don’t work… Mr. Batton, Madam, we really couldn’t find a way out… We’ve been going aro
