Chapter 1067
’Miracle doctor? Medical Maestro?’
Adrian found these names to be rather familiar. He has heard of this person when he was in the outlands.
Bortuguesa was a small island country. The journey was a long one, and Adrian figured that he would need to spend a lot of time getting there.
Gracia asked Winslow, “Professor Winslow, is the Medical Maestro still alive?”
Winslow was uncertain so he said, “Someone saw him last year, so I believe he’s still alive. Nothing is absolute but it’s also Ms. Gloria’s only chance now. Due to the time limit, the Medical Maestro is the only person who can help now.”
Adrian turned his head and asked, “You said it yourself that her condition is urgent. How will Gloria be able to withstand the long journey to Bortugueasa?”
Judging by Gloria’s condition, she would deteriorate if left untreated.
Winslow procured a box of medicine from his pocket and passed it to Adrian. “Sir, our lab rushed to produce this in the past two days. It’s made from plant-based ingredients procured from Isle 416. It’s not fully tested yet but there’s no other way right now.
“The medicine will stop the division of mutated cells and suppress the mutated cells. But it can only be consumed for ten days. There are too many unknown variables after that.”
Adrian took the box and inhaled a deep breath. Since it was the only way, he did not wish to waste time anymore either. He said, “Winslow, do your best to continue finding an antidote. I’ll take her in search of this Medical Maestro within the hour. Reach out to me at any time if anything unusual happens. I will keep in touch at all times.”
Winslow stood up and said, “Don’t worry, sir. I promise to spare no effort in this. Ms. Gloria should be fine if you can find the Medical Maestro as soon as possible.”
Adrian did not wish to miss the chance.
“Wait here. I’ll be back soon,” he said to Gracia and left the hospital.
Winslow left soon after.
Walking out of the hospital, Adrian called Samantha, asking her to pack some things for him to bring along on the journey to Bortugueasa with Gloria. That place was cold and poor, so he needed to bring along warm clothing.
Samantha was in the company’s research laboratory. She quickly headed home after receiving Adrian’s call. She packed a bunch of clothes for Adrian and Gloria, along with some daily necessities that filled two pieces of luggage.
It did not take long before Adrian came home. Samantha was already done with the packing.
She asked, “Is the miracle doctor Winslow recommended reliable? Bortuguesa is a very poor country and is very far from here. There’s no direct flight or train there. The journey there will be difficult.”
“I have to try, right?” said Adrian.
Samantha heaved a sigh. She then cracked a smile at him. “I’ve already packed for you and Gloria. Go quickly if you have to go. It’s better for you to be a minute earlier than a minute late. The journey is long. Take good care of her.”
Adrian nodded and picked up the two luggage bags. He said to Samantha, “I’m really sorry to leave you home alone again, Sam.”
Samantha cracked a heartfelt smile. “It’s fine, stop saying that. It’s more important to save a person’s life. Promise me that you’ll bring Gloria home in good condition. She has endured hardships for so many years. I don’t want to see her suffer again.”
“Yes, I promise,” said Adrian.
