Chapter 1124
The mountain forest was a bustling place. They saw a tribe of monkeys swinging through the trees as soon as they entered the forest and also all manner of birds building nests on the tree branches. Many types of trees made up the forest canopy.There was a unique ecosystem here that was not found elsewhere. They walked through the forest for a little over an hour and traveled a long distance yet there were no signs of human activity to be seen. Mya was drenched in sweat from the humidity. She dabbed at her sweat as she scanned her surroundings. “How does an old man stay so deep inside a mountain forest? Do you think there are bear caves here? I’m very curious as to how he survives here.”From the information acquired, the miracle doctor was supposed to be an old man about seventy to eighty years old. A man of his age living in a deep forest would face trouble acquiring food, so how could he have possibly lived here for so many years?Hayden explained, “I heard that he’s very impre

The log cabin was built at the foot of the mountain, with an exquisite environment as its surroundings. It went without saying that the scenery was amazing. To Mya, this was what paradise looked like.Hayden turned to Adrian and said, “Sir, the trap mechanisms over there are extremely difficult to crack. Please instruct us on how to get through.”Adrian put Gloria down and looked around with his binoculars. Meanwhile, Mya sized up the surrounding areas as well. She said, “Over there, Adrian. Have we seen the setting of this place somewhere before? I find the trees and grass very familiar.”Adrian nodded. “Not just familiar. We have seen it before. It’s similar to the mechanism we encountered while searching for Reagan.”“You’re right!” Mya was enlightened. “I remember now. It was Reagan. His place was almost exactly the same.”Adrian looked around and said, “I believe Reagan’s place is the imitation of this place. He tried to copy the miracle doctor but he had only managed to co

He was gone. “Judging by the grave, it looks like the burial was six months ago. The miracle doctor passed away six months ago?” said Hayden in astonishment. Mya was stunned. It was clear she was in total disbelief. They had come here feeling hopeful after going through all manners of hardships, yet in the end, all they found was a grave.“This can’t be…”“This is impossible!”Mya said anxiously, “The miracle doctor can’t possibly be dead. We must still have a chance.” However, she did not even believe her own words. Adrian was crestfallen. He was under the assumption that they would find the miracle doctor and save Gloria. He never expected this to happen. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Noticing Adrian’s disappointment, Gloria smiled and said to him, “Perhaps this is my destiny, Adrian. I’m very happy that I get to spend the remainder of my time here. It’s nice here.”“No!” Adrian shook his head. “There must be another way.” He was unwilling to giv

Adrian refused to give up on this only chance, so he followed Lacey into the house.Lacey tidied up the log cabin. It looked like she was not planning on staying. Her purpose in coming here today was to tidy up the place. In the future, she would only come here sparingly.Adrian asked, “Your surname is Yellen, so that means you’re from Navia, right? Since you’re a fellow Navien, why won’t you help me?”Lacey paused for a moment. She was a Navien but had stayed in Bortuguesa for a very long time. On top of that, she had started a clinic of her own and was loved by the locals. She said, “I’m not obligated to help you. Do you think that you’re allowed to belittle me just because I’m a Navien?”“But I’m a Navien too,” replied Adrian. While Lacey cleaned up the place, she said nonchalantly, “I know that but so what? The woman’s illness has already reached a critical stage. She can’t be cured. Even if my mentor were still alive, he wouldn’t be able to cure her either.”Every word Lace

Gloria nodded. “My genes and cells were modified by the meteorite on the island. I have no other intention than to live. I want to live for my sister and all those who love me.”“What do you think, Lacey? Can she be cured? Give me a definite answer. We’ve traveled a long way to get here, and we didn’t come here to be met with your arrogance. If we weren’t at a dead end, would War Legate Draco beg you for help?” Mya said to Lacey. After a few moments of silence, Lacey looked at Adrian and said, “I’m aware of Gloria’s condition. Nick told me that you’d be coming but I refused to believe it. I didn’t expect you to actually show up.”“Who’s Nick?” Adrian was puzzled. Lacey said, “He’s my fellow apprentice, and his name is Nicholas Frost. We studied Gloria’s condition but we never expected that you’d find your way here. Nick is the only person who can treat Gloria.”Upon hearing this, Adrian walked up to Lacey. He asked, “Where is Nicholas? Take me to him.”Hayden said in astonishme
Chapter 1129
Adrian could tell that Lacey was very proud of her fellow apprentice from the way she talked about him. It was as if Nicholas was the only important thing in her life. He figured that it was love.“Lacey, you say that Nicholas will be back in five days, but you also said Gloria won’t last five days. What are we supposed to do then?” Adrian asked out of worry for Gloria.Lacey made her way to Gloria and took hold of Gloria’s hand. She then checked Gloria’s eyes. After a while, she turned around and said to Adrian, “Nick left me with a way to relieve Gloria’s symptoms before he left. I’ll be treating her for the next five days. Nick will be back by then with the antidote.”Adrian was extremely surprised. He never expected someone could come up with such a thorough plan. He could tell that the apprentice named Nicholas was very confident in himself. Moreover, he was very mysterious. Adrian said, “Your fellow apprentice must be very impressive. What else did he tell you?”Lacey said,

Meanwhile, Hayden said, “Ms. Gloria, Ms. Mia, Lacey is famous around here. She’s known in Bortuton for her good character and the locals love her very much. They would send her heaps of gifts during festivities.”“Is she really all that?” Gloria was astonished. Hayden nodded. “She’s the one who cures most of Bortuton’s ill and sick. On top of that, her charges are low and she refuses to take a penny from the poor. Her generosity is what she’s known for.”Mya tutted and said, “I would never have guessed that such an arrogant and cold woman is actually so kind. Fine, I’ll close an eye to her flaws.”Gloria beamed in response. Half an hour later, Lacey led the group out of the forest. Adrian’s group spent more than an hour on their trek into the forest. With Lacy leading the way, the trek out was shortened by half an hour.There was a pink car parked by the roadside—clearly Lacey’s car. The moment they stepped out of the forest, she said to Adrian, “We’re going to Bortuton.”Adri
Chapter 1131
Bortuguesa was a paradise. The country was in harmony with the earth and self-sufficient, and the people here were sincere and diligent.As Gloria gazed at the quiet city in the distance, she said enviously, “Bortuton is amazing. Its environment is wonderful and the locals are great too.”“Bortuton’s local delicacies are amazing too. I’ll take you to try some tonight,” said Hayden smilingly.Lacey drove into the city as they chatted, and Hayden followed closely. After about ten minutes, Lacey stopped in front of a clinic and got out of the car.Hayden parked the car and said, “We’re here.”Adrian and the others quickly got out and went up to Lacey. When Lacey entered the clinic, two nineteen-year-old Bortuguesan greeted her, “Ms. Lacey, you’re back.”She nodded and said to the two young men, “Jose, Adao, have you prepared the room as I’ve told you to? Our guests are here.”Jose and Adao nodded and said, “Yes, it’s all ready.”“Great.” Lacey walked further into the clinic. A
