A breeze carrying the refreshing scent of nature blew against their faces as soon as they stepped on solid ground. Their tense muscles relaxed. Gloria and Mya gazed at their surroundings, appearing as happy as can be. Gloria said, “It’s wonderful here. This will make the perfect vacation spot one day.”Mya said, “You’re right about that. Nature puts everyone in a good mood.” She called out to Adrian,” Come on, hurry!”Adrian disembarked with their luggage in hand.Mya asked smilingly, “How do you feel? Doesn’t this place just make you feel so relaxed?”Adrian nodded. “It is a nice place. It’d be great to have a vacation here if given the chance. Come on. Let’s go.” He passed the suitcases to Mya as he went to support Gloria. Mya looked around. “Brett told us that someone would be meeting us here. Why haven’t we seen that person yet?”As soon as her voice faded, a young man walked over from the other end of the port and made his way to Adrian. He saluted and greeted, “War Legat

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

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

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

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
