Cassandra pretended to be in a dilemma and looked at Simon, “The traditional medicine practitioner follows the principle of making gradual progress. Your condition doesn’t allow you to use additional medicine.”
This statement was filled with good intentions.
Noticing her gaze on Kenneth, Simon was enlightened, saying, “I promise I won’t hold this guy responsible if you help me in this matter. When you leave, he can choose to go with you. What do you say?”
Simon felt glad that Faye liked this guy. Otherwise, he had no idea what to do now.
Cassandra’s eyes purposefully brightened, as though this condition was extremely alluring. “I’ll think about it.”
Simon continued, “Dr. Quirke, just for five days. I won’t interfere with your treatment after that. What do you think?”
Cassandra asked coldly, “You’re interfering with my treatment. Will you make this kind of request if someone shows up another day?”
She wouldn’t nod so easily or it would be raising suspicion.
“Don’t
worry. It’s a one–time thing. It won’t happen again. You can directly say no or refuse to treat me if I ask for such help again.”
To improve his physical condition and increase his future earnings, Simon had already put his business on hold. However, now that he had finally gotten in contact with this client, he didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to work with. them. He had no idea how long he would have to wait for another chance if he missed it.
Cassandra thought for a while and said, “Alright… There won’t be next time.”
“OK!” Simon left with satisfaction.
When he walked out of the door. Mathias living next to Julius came forward and gave him an update with typed words: [Julius stayed in Dr. Quirke’s room for nearly an hour before you arrived.]
He wondered what Julius was up to and why he kept visiting Faye.
“I see. Keep watching.” Simon’s face was cold.

Then Simon entered Julius’s room, where he was getting ready for bed after washing his face. He was now not working on the evidence. Besides, he wasn’t in a
rush.
Julius assumed Simon would come to him soon because he was aware that Mathias was keeping an eye on him and that he would tell Simon everything that happened today.
He took his time washing calmly when Simon pushed open his door and asked, “Julius, what are you doing?”
“I just got back from Dr. Quirke’s office and was going to bed,” Julius said frankly.
Simon felt he was mistaken to suspect Julius because of the sincere look in Julius’s
eyes.
Simon didn’t want to suspect his friend because they had experienced a lot together. However, Julius’s behavior over the past two days raised suspicion.
“What do you want from Dr. Quirke?” Simon asked with pretended concern.
“Nothing. A bullet fragment is left in my body. I went to ask Dr. Quirke if he could remove it,” Julius explained.
Since he’d come to Simon, Julius had only been shot once, and that had been when he’d saved Simon.
Julius had visited numerous hospitals regarding this bullet fragment, but he was informed that its removal would be challenging.
When Simon heard that Julius had seen Faye about this matter, he was taken aback and thought he was overthinking.
“What did Dr. Quirke say?” Simon asked with sincere concern.
Julius shook his head with a wry smile. “Dr. Quirke requested an expensive medical fee. I can’t afford it. Forget it.”
Simon was slightly embarrassed, “Well, I’ll talk to Dr. Quirke tomorrow and see if we can do it directly.”
They had been through a lot together. Simon could let bullet fragments remain in Julius’s body all the time.
“Thank you.”

“Okay, get some rest. I’ll go talk to Dr. Quirke tomorrow.” Simon turned and left.
Julius snorted coldly, feeling glad that he had talked with Faye earlier. Otherwise, things would become complicated.
The following day, Cassandra gave Kenneth a tour of the village before they headed to Simon’s home.
“You’re so kind to take this guy anywhere you go, Dr. Quirke,” Simon teased.
“Of course, I’m quite interested in him now. I plan to take him out today. I hope you don’t mind.” Cassandra deliberately lifted Kenneth’s chin, and he turned his head in disgust, not looking at Cassandra.
“No problem. I will let Julius go with you.” Simon glanced at them with interest.
Simon was in excruciating pain today because he had requested a double dose of his medication yesterday.
Simon thought, ‘What a mistake! It hurts so much!
‘But it’s worth it for the sake of cooperation!”
Cassandra walked out of the village with Kenneth, and Julius followed behind. them.
Julius was shocked when Cassandra and Kenneth went to the hotel together! Were they so open–minded?
Cassandra didn’t explain much. She just asked Julius to get a room and wait for
them there.
With a disgusted look, Julius booked a room for himself and was ready to sleep.
Julius was unaware that Eddie, Yannick, and Jeremiah were also present in the room, leading him to believe that the two men were having sex.
“Elaine, you are finally here,” said Jeremiah upon seeing Cassandra. “If you don’t show up now, I’ll sneak inside to look for you.”
In her real voice, Cassandra said, “Here I am.”
Eddie didn’t realize until then that the so–called miracle doctor was a teenage girl. And above all, it was Cassandra. He marveled at how skilled Cassandra was!

“How’s it going for you inside? Did those people do anything to you?” Jeremiah asked with concern. He couldn’t get used to not seeing Cassandra.
“I am fine. Simon has been restrained so far…
Cassandra and Kenneth told them everything had happened in the village and its terrain. Jeremiah had a skill that allowed him to draw a map according to a speech, so ten minutes later, Jeremiah finished drawing the topography of the village!
Jeremiah’s skill surprised Kenneth a little, but he was glad to have discovered someone with such talent who could go to the front lines as a spy and provide information on terrains.
A margin of error could be made by a computer. Kenneth thought information from people who had actually visited the location was more trustworthy.
“That’s all we have. Now is the time to plan. Five days from now, they will have a negotiation. We can make use of this opportunity.”
They could return home soon once they got the job done.
This place was beautiful yet toxic.
