These thoughts flashed through Katie's mind as she adapted to the changing circumstances.

Discarding the embarrassment of being exposed, she feigned ignorance.

"Mitchel, everything I've done was for you. You must know that the life-saving medicine was obtained by Davey. He even lost several brave men just to get it."

Katie wasn't lying this time. The medicine was owned by a witch family in Aurora.

The witches were revered in Aurora. They were immune to threats from the Clifford family and the Maxwell family. This was the condition they had agreed to when they first arrived at this land.

The witches were not interested in money, preferring a _ self- sufficient lifestyle. Using only their goods, gold, game, and seafood within their community was enough for them to survive.

It wasn't easy for Katie to convince Davey to get the medicine. The price she had to pay him was a bit steep.

Davey did not negotiate with the witches. Instead, he sent his men to steal it. And he lost eight capable men in this process.

However, the witch's medicine contained some dark magic.

For Mitchel, who was fated to meet his end due to the toxin within his system, the medicine could preserve his brain for a while. But the atrophy and paralysis would still ensue. In essence, his final day would be delayed for a while with the use of the medicine.

For anyone facing the fear of death, this medicine could be considered miraculous, even if it had dark magic. After all, who was not afraid to die?

Katie continued to paint a hopeful picture for Mitchel, thinking she could still convince him. "Have you heard of the old saying that it's better to die well than to live badly? As long as you are alive, there's always hope for a complete cure. After all, technology is advancing rapidly."

She looked at Mitchel's handsome face adoringly. Then, she continued to persuade him relentlessly, "Mitchel, think about how beautiful this world is. Do you really want to leave this place? Just cooperate with me, and I promise to find the real cure for you. I will definitely..."

She reached out, smoothened his wrinkled suit with her delicate fingers, and said seductively, “You only need to trust me, and you will survive."

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, inside a lab.

Suddenly, the man in a sterile suit lifted his female colleague excitedly and spun her around in jubilation.

"Ah!" The female doctor was so startled that she screamed.

But the man kept spinning around and shouting, "Thank you! Thank you so much! Oh, my God! I can't believe this!"

After being spun around by Luis, the female doctor felt dizzy. She exclaimed, “Luis, put me down! I'm going to throw up!"

“Oh, sorry... Sorry..." Luis apologized, setting her down and clasping his hands in gratitude. "Thanks a bunch. If it weren't for your hard work, we wouldn't have made this breakthrough. My friend's life can be finally saved!"
