Chapter 14:
Now, as the days slipped away, Austin’s resolve hardened. The toxin lay dormant for now, but its threat loomed.
At that moment, the door to his hospital room swung open, and Jarrod Robinson, Austin’s attending physician, strode in.
A set of medical reports rested in his hands, and a flicker of restrained excitement lit his face.
“Mr. Barton, I have good news! The toxin levels in your system have markedly decreased since our last evaluation p>
Jarrod had been Austin’s private physician since the onset of his illness, a prodigy in the medical field renowned for solving complex cases.
Yet, even he had been powerless against the mystery of Austin’s poisoning.
Austin’s eyes narrowed in disbelief as he sat up abruptly. “Are you certain p>
“Absolutely!” Jarrod handed him the latest report, his tone barely containing his curiosity. “This is remarkable progress. Where were you treated? Could you share that information with me p>
The sudden improvement in his condition was both baffling and thrilling.
“I received no formal treatment,” Austin said, his voice steady but charged with an undercurrent of urgency. “During the ambush, a young woman saved me. She handed me a pill and claimed it would be of help p>
The memory was etched deeply in his mind.
From the moment he had taken the pill, a remarkable warmth had spread through his body, reigniting his vitality in a way that defied explanation. He had no doubt—the pill had been the turning point in his survival, and the woman who provided it was the key.
Thus, it was imperative to find her.

“Whoever she is, her knowledge goes beyond anything I’ve encountered—it could revolutionize treatment for cases like yours,” Jarrod’s eyes gleamed with curiosity.
Meanwhile, Yelena sneezed involuntarily, a strange sense of unease settling over her.
She had already made the call to Hugh, confirming her decision to enroll at Kheley University.
Hugh had been persistent in his efforts to recruit her, citing an ongoing research project he believed would benefit from her unique talents.
Yelena, fiercely independent by nature, had hesitated initially.
But her parents’ enthusiasm for the idea of her going back to school had swayed her. Complying with their wishes felt like a small price to pay for their happiness.
With her decision made, she decided to visit the mall.
Though her parents had gifted her an impressive collection of designer clothing, most of the pieces were far too extravagant for her everyday needs as a student. She wanted something simpler, more practical, yet elegant enough to suit her style.
Taking advantage of the family’s current busyness, Yelena set off alone, heading to the Supreme Plaza, Eighfast’s premier shopping destination.
Located in the bustling heart of downtown, the Supreme Plaza was a hive of activity, alive with the hum of conversation and the occasional laughter of enthusiastic shoppers.
