A patient’s descriptions were crucial to a physician, especially when dealing with complicated diseases. Through detailed descriptions and observation, one could analyze and determine the state of a patient’s body and the internal injuries that may have caused a particular pain.

Austin stared at his granduncle for two seconds and saw him leaning against the pillow with his eyes closed. Dominic could hardly move his lips while his face was whiter than paper. Still, the older man was coherent.

Then Austin held the pen and jotted down what his granduncle said. After a while, Dominic suddenly stopped. Austin thought his granduncle would continue and looked at him, but the older man’s head had drooped aside.

“Uncle Dom?” Austin called out tentatively but received no response.

“Uncle Dom,” he called out again, flustered, “Uncle Dom!”

After receiving no reply, Austin anxiously put down his pen and hugged the older man. “Uncle Dom!”

He burst into tears and even forgot to check Dominic’s

    Dominic failed to detect anything wrong with Austin’s pulse until his condition worsened. Later, Lily mentioned a virus that was difficult to detect had caused the devastating outbreak in Burnwken.‘Perhaps all the viruses the research institute had developed share the same traits,’ Dominic thought, ‘These viruses are good at avoiding detection, just like the organization. Therefore, it’s normal not to detect anything, and we shouldn’t feel ashamed.’It was not that they were incompetent, but the organization was simply too cunning.Austin smiled bitterly, knowing his granduncle was trying to console him. “So, what do you think of your condition, Uncle Dom?”‘He’s highly experienced, and I’m sure he knows his body best.’“Well, you already know the answer, don’t you?” Dominic smiled.Austin noticed the older man’s casual expression and could hardly fight back his tears. He looked away, not wanting to cry in front of his granduncle. Austin also blamed himself for being so weak com

    Austin and Dominic did not have a solution to this problem or even know what it was. Austin and the others could only rely on Dominic’s analysis, stating it was the work of a virus, not a symbiote.They also wondered about detoxification and recovery. However, it was essential to have faith, as once people stopped believing in themselves, they would eventually fail."Hehe…" Dominic chuckled nonchalantly. He was not too bothered about this. It did not matter to him whether he lived or died.Dominic had devoted his whole life to learning traditional medicine, and although he was not entirely satisfied with his achievements, he still made a name for himself.Moreover, he was delighted with the few apprentices he had taken under his wings. As for Austin…Dominic turned to look at his grandnephew.‘Even though this stinking brat has always angered me and did plenty of stupid things, he has finally grown into being a doctor. It doesn’t matter if I die or not. It’s just that I can’t die

    "It's just that, what?" Austin was curious."It's just a pity that although my apprentice is talented, she isn’t focused on practicing medicine. She enjoys making fragrances. If she didn't drop medicine to focus on perfumery, her accomplishments would be endless!” Dominic exclaimed emotionally.He always knew Lily wanted to go into perfumery, but he was against it. He always felt that such things were not of much use and that they had no medical benefits.However, Lily was obsessed with perfumery, and Dominic could not do much to stop her. Moreover, she showed great talent in perfumery, and it did not take long for her to make a name for herself.Dominic had witnessed life and death many times, and with what had happened recently, he realized even the most skilled doctors could only save lives but could not heal hearts. Many things were out of his control.Once he had let go of his obsession, he no longer blamed her as much. Still, he could not let go of his pride. Lily and Domini

    Austin felt helpless but could do nothing. He could only say, "Galen, you're a good boy, right? Didn't I say you can't come into this room? Grandpa is still recuperating, so why don't you return to your room and play?"The little boy was very obedient and did not go forward. However, he did not leave either. Instead, he stood at the door, looking at the older man with his big eyes before softly calling out, "Grandpa?"It became even harder for the two adults to refuse Galen.Ultimately, Dominic sighed and waved him over. “Come here, you!”“U-Uncle Dom!” Austin could not help but yell as a reminder. After all, they should not endanger the child just because they felt sorry for him.Dominic waved, signaling it was okay. Then he said, “Honestly, we’ve all been living under the same roof. Galen would’ve gotten infected long ago since he’s here too. For instance, the servants barely came close to me, yet they still got infected, right?“If it happens, it happens. Since we didn’t immed

    Galen turned and stuck his face on Dominic's hand obediently and motionlessly.Dominic initially allowed the little one to lie on his stomach. Then he lowered his eyes to look at Galen. Meanwhile, Austin felt emotional watching them from the sidelines. Just then, he realized something was amiss and quickly stepped forward.“Mm!” Galen dodged and avoided Austin’s hand, afraid of getting pulled away.Dominic subconsciously wanted to push Austin’s outstretched hand away when he noticed the look in Austin’s eyes. The older man was startled.Then Austin gently pressed his hand against Galen’s neck and spoke warmly, “Stay still. Let me have a look.”He brushed aside the little one’s hair at the back and slightly pulled down his collar, revealing Galen’s neck. Dominic remained still, and the little one followed suit. After realizing Austin would not pull him away, Galen sat obediently and cooperated with Austin.Austin stared at the little one’s neck and saw a few tiny red dots that res

    Dominic frowned and did not rush to conclude. Instead, he released Galen's hand and said, "Come take a look, too."Austin was bewildered. Still, he hesitantly but gently touched Galen’s wrist. The little one’s pulse was regular and stable, meaning he was completely healthy. It was also normal for his pulse to be a little faster.Austin did not notice any difference and looked at his granduncle perplexedly and curiously. However, Dominic only smiled at him as if waiting for him to determine the answer himself.Austin withdrew his gaze and continued to feel Galen’s pulse. After a while, he still could not sense anything unusual. He thought for a moment, then withdrew his hand. “Uncle Dom, Galen is very healthy.”“Yes, he is.” Dominic nodded with a faint smile. He felt satisfied with the outcome. Regardless of the circumstances, it was no easy feat for Galen to remain healthy, which was excellent news for Dominic.“B-But…” Austin hesitated. Not only did he want to assess Galen’s heal

    "Go to your room and play for a while. I'm getting a little tired, and I need to rest," Dominic said softly, gently patting Galen.Galen was very sensible. Although he did not fully understand everything that had happened recently, he had become much more obedient. Moreover, his father had entrusted him before leaving, telling him to listen to Dominic and Austin. Galen remembered it all."Okay. I won't disturb you then. If you miss me, just call me." With that, Galen turned around, propping his chubby little arms on the bed, ready to climb down.Austin immediately scooped the little one up and turned to leave the room. When he reached Galen’s room, he set the little one down before bending and saying, “What do you want to eat? I can order takeout for us. How about that?”He thought Galen would happily agree. However, the little one shook his head. “No, Daddy said I shouldn’t trouble others unnecessarily. Grandpa is the most important right now. Please take care of Grandpa, Uncle Au

    All the apparent ease and nonchalance Dominic displayed earlier were just him relying on sheer willpower. He did not want Galen to see him so worn out. He did not want to scare the child or let him see that side of him.‘Uncle Dom clenched his teeth and forced himself to stay strong. I thought he was getting better. How stupid and naive am I?!’Austin genuinely hated himself, feeling guilty for being careless and inattentive. He carefully supported Dominic and grabbed his wrist to check his pulse. The older man’s pulse was inconsistent, sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, which felt dangerous.“Uncle Dom!” Austin choked, wanting to say something but unable to find the words."It's nothing!" Dominic sighed and said, "Towels!"Austin hurriedly got up to fetch the towels. Then he brought one dry one and one wet one. Dominic saw him holding the two towels, smiled, and tugged at the corner of his mouth. The older man managed to squeeze out two words, “How smart!”He wanted to tell Aus

    Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, “There’s something I find strange.”“What is it?” Mike asked after comforting his son.“Instead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldn’t we reach him?”After some thought, Mike answered, “There are two possibilities. It’s probably due to poor signals, or he doesn’t want us to contact him.”The two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.‘Why can’t we contact Ross? Is he planning something?’…Three days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queen’s leg and looked up at her, saying, “You should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, it’ll take some time before you can stand.”Suddenly, Lily chuckled.“Why are you laughing?” Yasmin touched her legs. She had begun to regain sensation in her legs over the last two days. She then began to believe that she could get up. However, the queen was hesitant when the queen heard Lily chuckle.Lily shook her head

    Lily straightened up and said without resentment, “Of course, you wouldn’t.”“That’s… quite a pity,” the queen murmured thoughtfully.“Well, there’s a price to pay for everything. That’s how the world balances itself,” Lily continued, “I can’t stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I won’t witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isn’t something you’ll regret.”Lily smiled and turned to head out the door.Rick heard their conversation as he stood guard outside. After exchanging looks with Lily as she brushed past him, he entered the room and saw the needles in Yasmin’s legs. “Your Majesty, those needles—”The queen waved dismissively. “It’s okay. Lily will remove them later.”Even so, Rick was wary. “You’re being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that woman—”“She wouldn’t,” Yasmin interjected, shaking her head."Why do you trust her so much?" Rick asked despite himself. The queen fell silent. If Rick had not asked her that, she would not have rea

    Lily took out a cloth and unfolded it, revealing a row of silver needles inside. Yasmin was surprised she carried the needles with her.“Tell me. What do you want?” The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. She then reminded herself that she could always say no to Lily’s request. Still, Yasmin was cautious about Lily trying to trick her.Lily casually said, "I left because Prince Ross wanted to help me. I hope you don’t punish him.""That's it?" Yasmin thought she had misheard Lily. 'Is she trying to talk terms with me just so that I won't punish my son?' she wondered in disbelief."Ross is my son. I won't harm him. Don't you think you've wasted an opportunity by making such a request?" The queen shook her head. "I wasn’t sure if you’d blame him, but he did rescue me once. If I don't do anything, it would be ungrateful of me," Lily said gently, "Also, didn’t you already lock him up?"Yasmin was puzzled. "No, I only sent him back to Yudonia. He kept trying to get me to sto

    "Three days," Lily replied.“That’s it?!” Yasmin was in disbelief. She thought Lily would try to buy some more time and suspected she would say the process would take several months or even years.‘I haven’t felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldn’t mind waiting for three more days.’“Are you sure I can get up and walk in just three days?” Yasmin pressed her legs hard but felt nothing. She would have treated her legs long ago if it were that easy.The queen had visited many famous doctors from various countries, but they could only stop her legs from getting weaker. However, Lily confidently told Yasmin that she could fix her legs so quickly.Yasmin wanted to believe it.After some consideration, Lily said, “I can’t guarantee that you’ll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you haven’t used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, you’ll recover slowly.”Yasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

    “Because only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""I… don't trust anyone." Yasmin’s expression stiffened as she turned her wheelchair away."Your Majesty, I know you're dedicated to the experiment, but there are other things in life. Have you ever considered letting go of your burden to sightsee? You’ve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Aren’t you tired of living a lonely life?”Lily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasmin’s back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, “Sightsee, huh? I’ve forgotten what that’s like.”Yasmin had not used her legs for many years. Initially, she could still stand up and sometimes took a few steps. However, she could no longer get to her feet.She had grown accustomed to sitting in a wheelchair, but she felt a pang of sorrow after hearing Lily’s suggestion.Lily asked, “What if I can help you stand again? What if you can walk a

    "Yes, I returned not just for him but also for you," Lily said, "I'm sure you were anxious for my return, weren't you?"Yasmin scoffed dismissively. "Why would I be? I have my bargaining chip. Besides, did you honestly think I couldn’t bring you back?""Bargaining chip? Do you mean Nick?" Lily shook her head with a smile. "Don't forget that he's not my son. Do you think he'll be much of a bargaining chip to you if I choose to ignore him for my three children?"She did not wait for Yasmin to reply and continued, "Besides, Nick still has a father who’s willing to die for him. If Mike decides to take drastic action against you— Yes, you're a queen, and you don't care much about an insignificant businessman.“However, don't forget that his business spans worldwide. There's no guarantee what he might do. Who knows, he might spread information that can affect Your Majesty and Yudonia's reputation?""You…" The queen was exasperated but could not retort.Lily noticed it and casually said

    Rick could only remain silent at that moment.Yasmin then turned her wheelchair around and blandly said, “Bring Lily over. I’d like to see what excuses that sly woman can come up with.”"Your Majesty?" Rick was puzzled. "You know she'll just lie to you. Why must you—"Yasmin interjected, "I'd like to hear what she has to say."Rick had no choice but to leave and do as she said.As Lily was about to doze off, she heard noises from outside and opened her eyes. Immediately after, the door opened, and Rick appeared. He glared at her and spoke coldly, “Her Majesty wants to see you.”Lily glanced at Rick calmly and stood up as if she had expected his appearance. On the other hand, Mike rose before her and headed out.However, Rick stopped him as he reached the door. “You stay.”"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesn’t wish to see you. Just stay here!"Lily patted Mike's shoulder and said gentl

    Everyone was shocked when Lily returned to the embassy with Mike. One of the staff members quickly left to report the news to Queen Yasmin.Meanwhile, Lily saw people peering at her and Mike from the corner. Afterward, several guarded-looking men appeared. Lilt recognized them as the queen’s attendants. They brought Mike and Lily inside and then gave the duo a thorough search.The men only relaxed after finding nothing suspicious about the duo. Even so, Lily could not see the queen as the men told her to wait in an innermost room instead.After returning to the embassy, Lily felt a sense of strange familiarity. Although she knew the place well, her mindset had changed.She previously hated the embassy and simply wanted to escape. However, she had returned with a critical mission. Not only did she have to complete it, but she also needed to leave the place in one piece.While she was calm, Mike was somewhat anxious. He clasped his hands on his knees and glanced around as he sat dow

    "I promise I'll do anything you want, okay?" Mike begged. He was desperate to see his son, so he decided to follow Lily when she insisted on returning to the embassy.Mike continued, “If any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They won’t do that to me. It’s natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. I’m the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.”After a short silence, Lily said, “You’re right.” She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, “Me too.”Dominic tapped the table. "So do I."Cameron thought for a moment before saying, "I've no objections."Seeing this, Austin spread his arms and said, "Since you all agree, what else can I say? Let's do it!"It did not matter whether or not he agreed, but he just wanted to support Mike. The latter nodded and became emotional, saying, “Thanks, you guys!”"Why are you thanking us? Just be careful, and don’t be rash like you promised," Aust
