The old lady’s eyelashes fluttered again. She wanted to tell them to stop wasting their energy and that they should just let her go. Given her current state, she was neither fully alive nor dead. She had had enough of it. She did not want to burden others any longer.Just let her go.Xander’s uncle seemed to read her mind. He did not try to advise her further, knowing that words would not make much difference. He sighed and said, “You can start.”He then looked at Xander. However, when he saw Ivanka stepping forward to administer the injection, his eyes flickered with surprise. Why was this young woman the one performing the injection?He glanced at Xander, only to find that he was only handling the disinfection process. For a moment, he was confused. It looked as if Xander was merely assisting her.He was confused at the moment, but his good manners prevented him from asking questions.After all, Xander would not assist just anyone. If he was willing to take a back seat, it mean

As soon as Xander spoke, everyone turned their attention to Ivanka.Although only a few people were in the room, many more outside were anxiously waiting for news.Xander’s uncle’s family was standing outside. They had been afraid to walk in for fear of disturbing them.At that moment, everyone held their breath. None dared to make a sound for fear of missing Ivanka’s response.Even though they could only see her back, they did not want to miss anything.Ivanka gazed at the situation before her. She took a deep breath and looked at Xander. She nodded gravely and said, “We can proceed to the next step.”Xander’s eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward. Seeing the positive results in front of Ivanka, he turned excitedly to his uncle. “Uncle, Grandaunt’s condition is suitable for the next round of tests. So far, it appears effective, and we can proceed to the next step. However...”He paused. He seemed hesitant to continue.Xander’s uncle, Tiernan Quinn, immediately responded. “Xa

If it were not for the fact that Xander was his nephew, Tiernan would have gotten on his knees to thank him and everyone else! After all, his mother could live for two more months because of them!“You don’t have to thank us. It’s what we do.”Besides, Xander knew that he should not take the credit. But Ivanka had not revealed that she was Violet Cress until earlier on. It showed that she intended to keep a low profile and hide her identity. Therefore, Xander could not say anything else.“No… If it weren’t for you, my mother wouldn’t have survived today. I’ll remember what you’ve done for us. If you ever need my help in the future, let me know!” Tiernan almost put his hand on his heart when he made that promise. After a pause, Tiernan looked over at Xander again and asked tentatively, “So, what do we do next?”Xander said nothing and looked at Ivanka instead.　　Ivanka pondered momentarily and said softly, “You still need to observe your mother for the next few days. If possibl

A hint of worry flashed in Xander’s eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, but Michael beat him to it and said indifferently, “Let’s get this started.”Without a word, Ivanka disinfected her hands again and took out a bunch of medical equipment.Michael calmly walked up to Ivanka. He had witnessed the entire procedure earlier on, and he knew what she was up to. After a series of check-ups, it was finally time to start the treatment.Ivanka quietly waited for him to get ready.Michael took off his suit jacket and unbuttoned his sleeve cuff, then he rolled up his sleeve inch by inch. Soon enough, his sculpted, muscular forearm appeared before her eyes.Without a word or any reservations, Ivanka gave him the injection. Xander could tell how decisive she was. She did it so much quicker than when she treated the other patients. She did not even hesitate,Xander forced an awkward smile. Ivanka and Michael were like enemies. Regardless, Xander knew that Ivanka dared test the tr

Ivan was confused.He turned to Evan, who shook his head at him. This baffled Ivan even more. “What’s going on?” he said.A strange emotion flickered in Evan’s eyes. “I don’t know the specificities, but Ms. Lane has been the one leading the procedure. Mr. Quinn is only helping out.”Ivan blurted out, “What the heck?”His eyes widened as he looked at Ivanka and found her working with the equipment with a solemn expression. She was performing a series of tests, and the equipment started operating. While she spoke, she mentioned some professional terms. Xander stood beside her and wrote them down.Ivan was flabbergasted. What on earth was going on?What was with Ivanka?Evan rubbed his nose and felt rather pleased all of a sudden.Finally, he was not the only one who was dumbstruck.Ivan acted like a silly puppy. He took a few steps forward while gawking at Ivanka stupidly. He also occasionally glanced at Xander, as though he was ready to wag his tail if either of them looked his
