Lacey replied, “He’s mentally shaken due to extreme fear. In simpler terms, he’s frightened. But don’t worry, he’ll be fine in a few days.”“Thank you so much, Dr. Lacey,” the woman said gratefully.Lacey smiled at the woman.Nearby, Gloria turned to Adrian and said, “Lacey’s medical skills are impressive. She managed to determine the cause and provide a diagnosis so quickly.”Adrian said, “Yes. She has mastered the essence of Traditional Navian Medicine. Doctors of the past would need to perform an assessment and make careful observations just to come up with a diagnosis. Looks like Nicholas truly has qualities that are worthy of her pride.”“Does that mean there’s hope for me?” said Gloria with a smile. Adrian nodded.Lacey walked back to them and said to Adrian, “I’ve already instructed the pharmacist to prepare two rooms for you guys. You may stay here until Nick gets back with the antidote and is able to treat Gloria.”She then turned to Gloria. “For the next few days, I’

It was unbelievable. Truly unbelievable. Adrian’s desire to meet this Medical Saint grew at this moment. He did not mind about Nicholas possessing a piece of the meteorite, of course. He then followed Jose to the back of the clinic where two rooms had already been cleaned up for guests.Jose showed Adrian and the others to the rooms and said, “Dear guests, this is where you’ll be staying. There are two rooms here. Please make yourself at home.”“Thank you, Jose,” said Adrian with a smile. Jose nodded. “Not a problem. You’re our guests. Come to me if you need anything, anytime. I live here too.”Gloria said smilingly, “Thank you so much.”Jose left them to it.Mya plopped onto one of the beds and dangled her legs over the side. She said to Hayden, “Hey, take a room for yourself. I’ll bunk with Gloria.”Hayden scratched his head. “I won’t be staying, Ms. Mya. You guys go ahead and have a good stay. I’ll make some arrangements for you to taste the local delicacies tonight.”“

The three of them ate in the room and rested after they were done. Lacey knocked on the door at about six o’clock “Are you ready, Gloria? Let’s begin your treatment.” Lacey walked into the room. Gloria inhaled a deep breath. Adrian asked, “Will the process be painful?”Lacey answered, “I’d be lying if I said the treatment will be painless, but it won’t be as painful as you imagine it to be. There will be some slight burning sensations, but I believe Gloria will be able to withstand it.”Gloria nodded. “I’m ready. Let’s begin, Lacey.”“Follow me, everyone,” said Lacey. She walked out of the room and led the way through the clinic.The place was made up of a long corridor with different dispensaries and storage rooms on both sides. They walked to the end of the corridor and found a room. Lacey opened the door and walked in.Adrian and Mya stopped outside. Mya said to Gloria, “Stay strong. You’re going to be fine. Just bear with it and it’ll pass. Good luck.”Gloria nodded and

After about ten minutes of soaking, Gloria’s body adapted to the temperature, and the burning sensation from earlier vanished. She felt as if the medicinal herbs in the bath were seeping into her body through her pores. Then, she noticed she was very relaxed. Gloria’s face was flushed but she felt as if a weight had been lifted off her. Next to her, Lacey was making preparations. She did not speak but would check on Gloria occasionally. About half an hour later, Lacey asked, “How do you feel? How’s the temperature?”Gloria answered, “Not as hot as before.”Lacey beckoned at Adrian and said, “Add more hot water.”Adrian lifted up a pot of hot water that he poured into the tub. The process repeated in this manner for about two hours. Meanwhile, Lacey prepared a fresh tub, pouring in some newly-brewed medicinal herbs. The concoction in this new tub was different from the first one. Lacey hastily said, “Come, get into this. It might hurt, but it’s normal and nothing to worry about

Gloria said, “I hope I can be like you guys. Lacey, will I be able to have children if I’m cured? Will there be any side effects that will affect my bodily functions?”Lacey said, “There will be, and will need two to three years to recover. When you’re fully healed, you can have children, of course. But there is no absolute in everything. We’ll have to wait and see if Nick manages to bring the antidote for you.”Gloria was pleased to hear just still. She smiled at Lacey and said, “Thank you so much. I’m grateful to all of you regardless if I’m cured or not.”Lacey said, “Nick wouldn’t be helping you if you didn’t sacrifice yourself for Navia. He’s traveling to the most dangerous ice cave in Shangland just to find you an antidote. Not even scientists would go to the place.”“Is he at Mount Shangspar?” Adrian asked. Lacey raised her head and glanced at Adrian. “So you know of Mount Shangspar. It’s the coldest place on earth. Nick is traveling to the deepest part of it in search of

Lacey chuckled, clearly indifferent toward Adrian’s question. She said, “Different people have different goals. For example, you may be the war legate, but you’re worlds apart from Nick who’s in the medical field. He is incapable of leading Wyvern Peak. Neither is capable of watching over millions of people. As for the power and wealth you speak of, I suppose that’s the compensation you receive for your sacrifice. Aren’t you retired now?”Adrian heaved a sigh in answer to Lacey’s question. She continued, “Nick wouldn’t have helped you if not because you’re retired. He only helps two types of people—the poor who are suffering but unable to afford medical help and those who are worthy of his respect. It’s apparent you belong in the second category.” Adrian smiled but did not respond. Gloria and Mya stopped chatting as well.About another thirty minutes later, Lacey heaved a sigh, saying, “Okay, that’s all to today’s acupuncture. We’ll do this again at the same time tomorrow. Let’s

Getting into the car, Hayden sniggered and said, “Tonight is going to be a feast. I assure you that you’ll miss it after having it once.”Mya rolled her eyes at him. “You make it sound like we’ve never had a scrumptious meal before. Do you think of me as a glutton?”“Now, now, don’t say that, Ms. Mya. You might need to take back your words later,” said Hayden. “Hmph!” Mya grunted.Hayden took them on a tour around Bortuton, showing them the city’s beautiful night scenery. Just as he had mentioned, the front doors of the houses here were left wide open. Some houses were left unlocked despite being empty. Though Bortuton was small, the people were virtuous.About half an hour later, they arrived at a single-story house with a small yard built out of wood. The house was brightly lit and there were a few people inside. Hayden stopped the car and turned to the other three. “We’re here. This is where we’ll be having supper.”Gloria said in a troubled tone, “Hayden, it’s not very polit

Maila laughed heartily. Hayden made an invitatory gesture and said, “Come along, everyone.”The three followed Hayden and Maila into the house where dinner was already prepared. Maila’s parents and younger brother were there too, and they welcomed their guests enthusiastically.Just as Hayden said, Bortuguesans were enthusiastic and hospitable, and these values were perfectly embodied by Maila and her family. Adrian, Gloria, and Mya enjoyed a scrumptious feast of Bortugueasan delicacies in Maila’s home, clueless about what was secretly happening in Navia. ***It was late at night in Novemton’s headquarters. Crystal was working in the HQ office as usual when the ten elders and a few of Wyvern Peak’s battle warriors walked in. She was extremely puzzled by their sudden appearance. “Your Majesty, we receive rather urgent information from the border.” A middle-aged man approached and placed a document on Crystal’s table. She paused her task and picked up the document. She said to e
