Chapter 260
Cassandra kept treating patients on the streets in Zosteylor, whether they came from Clusia or Zosteylor. She didn’t stop until she used up all the drugs in her backpack.
Acupuncture might help people heal and halt bleeding, but they still needed drugs to
sterilize their wounds.
When she got up, she felt dizzy and almost fell on her back. Fortunately, Kenneth supported her in time.
“Cassie, let’s call it a day. There are many injured people, and you can’t save them all. You barely eat all day,” Kenneth said, his heart aching for her.
They met injured kids, women, and elders every few steps. She didn’t even have time to take a rest.
He fed her two chocolate bars and to be removed.
O pieces of hardtack while she waited for the needles
“I’m afraid I have to call it a day. I used up all the drugs I had with me. We’ll see when we come out tomorrow,” Cassandra said helplessly, rubbing her forehead.
“Let’s go back. There are so many injured people. We can’t save all of them. You have already tried your best,” Kenneth comforted her.
“Mhm,” Cassandra replied.
After returning to the camp, Cassandra ate a quick meal and was ready to go to bed.
But when she double–checked her drugs, she found that there was not much left.
Especially the ones used for stopping bleeding and relieving pain. Today, she stuffed most of them into her backpack and used up all of them.
Even the anesthetic Hugo prepared for her was not much left.
She wondered how to deliver the drugs she needed.
Seeing her frown, Kenneth asked with concern, “What’s bothering you?”
“Hugo has prepared a lot of drugs for me, but they almost ran out today. The majority of the remaining ones are cold medicine and fever reducers with special effects. There are no drugs for traumatic injuries left,” Cassandra replied, a little annoyed.
‘Why did I run out of them at once? I should have sorted them out. Even if I used half of them, I could have saved and treated more people,‘ she said to herself.
But now, she couldn’t save people with cold medicines.
“Cassie, you’ve tried your best. You have already saved so many people today. You did an amazing job. Keep the rest of the drugs for yourself, okay?” Kenneth said in a comforting voice.
He didn’t want her to take any more risks. Although it was a truce, there were still outlaws out there trying to provoke the war again.
He couldn’t go out with her anytime. He had a lot of work to do, so he didn’t have time to go out with her tomorrow.
“I did my best. Have you sent those Clusians that I saved today to the consulate?” Cassandra asked. She didn’t care if she had run out of drugs. All she could think was when she could go out tomorrow.
“Yes, I have,” Kenneth replied softly. “I need to deploy tasks tomorrow. I might be busy all day. You stay in the camp and do your work on information security.”
“I made an arrangement long ago. When the mission begins, it will activate the software I configured, which can monitor everywhere in Zosteylor except for the queen’s palace. It can help with your operations. Spark and Sylph can collaborate with you to monitor any location you want,” Cassandra replied.
Kenneth felt something was wrong as he listened to her. They almost received the task at the same time. When did she complete this software?
He wondered if she completed it the night before.
Didn’t it mean she hadn’t slept all night?

“You studied this software all night without sleeping?” he asked.
Cassandra nodded obediently. It was a little complicated to build a platform, configure monitoring services, and connect all the surveillance cameras to this software. There were too many things that needed to be done, so it took her a lot of time.
“You…” Kenneth didn’t know what to say for a moment. Hearing what Cassandra had done, he knew it may do them a big favor. It was a great sort of feather in their cap.
He would be too sentimental if he was talking too much.
“Have a good rest today. Let’s talk about it tomorrow,” he said.
“Wait. I have a favor to ask,” Cassandra said, suddenly thinking of a way. “I’ll send someone to pick up drugs from Hugo. Can you give him the green light to transport them into the camp?”
She was now in the camp, and she had to follow the regulations to get in and out. Kenneth would not approve of her leaving the camp so easily for a good reason.
But she could ask her men to bring the drugs over if he could give her the green light.
Why didn’t she think of it just now?
It was Daniel’s fault for not telling her about the task in the first place. She was caught unprepared because the drugs were running out.
Kenneth was stunned.
“How about this? You ask Hugo to prepare the drugs you need, and I’ll have Ethan and Lamont bring them over. Don’t worry about it anymore, okay?” he answered, knowing Cassandra would come up with such an idea.
She would save the patient she wanted to save anyway. Regarding Faye’s rule, she refused to treat someone just because they were bad.
She was willing to treat and save ordinary people, even for free.
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you. There’s no time to lose. I’ll ask Hugo to prepare the drugs now,”

Cassandra said. Ignoring Kenneth, she called Hugo and asked him to prepare as many drugs as he could.
She also ordered Whitecrane Hall to produce drugs as soon as possible.

The next day, Kenneth didn’t allow her to go out alone. In the end, he compromised and arranged for two soldiers to go with her.
“Emery, what are we doing here?” one of the soldiers asked. It would be nice to stay with Emery, but they also wanted to participate in the mission.
“Why don’t you go back first? Don’t worry about me. When I use up these drugs, I will go back,” Cassandra said. They were desperately in need of people to complete the task. She was a little embarrassed to have two of them protect her.
When Cassandra came across anyone who had been injured, she began treating them with acupuncture and feeding them drugs again.
Soon, a group of people appeared all of a sudden. They surrounded them from the front and back.
The man who stood in front of her asked in broken Clusian, “A–Are you the doctor they mentioned y–yesterday?”
He thought, ‘She looks so young. How could she be a doctor? Could she be a swindler?‘
The man behind her spoke fluent Clusian. “I heard that a goddess appeared in this area yesterday and treated the injured. I bet you’re the doctor, right?”
His voice was pleasant. Cassandra assumed he was young, no older than Kenneth.
She withdrew the needles and looked ahead. She motioned her two companions to contact Kenneth immediately.
Unfortunately, their cell phones had no signal.
Cassandra was startled.
4/5
She took out her phone and the black screen lit up for a while. She removed their signal block in one minute. Her two companions were able to call Kenneth right away.
She turned to look at the man behind her. He didn’t look like a soldier but a nobleman wit a handsome face.
The man was also stunned at the sight of her. He even looked a little frightened.
