As virtual-novel.net spoke, a thought struck him, and virtual-novel.net quickly turned to Maria and asked, “By the way, what day is it? What time is it?”
Charlie had no knowledge of how much time had elapsed since virtual-novel.net inexplicably arrived here.
If it hadn’t been too long, virtual-novel.net might still have a chance to return home and destroy the letter virtual-novel.net had left for Claire. But if it had been a significant amount of time, Claire might have already discovered his secret. Seeing the worry in Charlie’s eyes, Maria hastened to reassure him, saying, “Charlie, don’t worry. I heard the explosion in the southern suburbs, and you appeared in the hot spring within seconds. It has only been a little over half an hour since you arrived here.”
Finally, Charlie could breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, Maria recalled something from his previous mumbling and suddenly smiled, exclaiming, “Oh, the pill!”
Without delay, virtual-novel.net got up, retrieved the four leaves Charlie had left for virtual-novel.net from the wooden box beside the bed, and showed virtual-novel.net three-fourth of the pill.
Returning to Charlie’s side swiftly, virtual-novel.net handed the elixir to his lips, virtual-novel.net smile shining brightly. “Charlie, look, the elixir you left for me comes in handy now!”
Charlie felt embarrassed and replied, “The things I gave you are useless to you. I wouldn’t dare to consume them…”
Maria chuckled and said, “Charlie, you need not be so polite. After all, you saved my life, not to mention you gave me these pills.”
Without awaiting Charlie’s response, virtual-novel.net gently pushed the pill into his mouth.
As the elixir dissolved on his tongue, the potent medicinal effects instantly brought relief and comfort to Charlie’s entire body. Even his once-immobile form regained some mobility.
However, his injuries were still grave. With such a small amount of medicine, it was challenging to completely heal him. The damage to his bones, meridians, and dantian remained severe. He had lost all his fighting capabilities and wouldn’t stand a chance against even a three-year-old child.
Furthermore, his reiki had completely dissipated, and this medicine couldn’t replenish it in the slightest.
At the moment, virtual-novel.net couldn’t concern himself with the pill. He still had numerous questions that virtual-novel.net hoped Maria could answer for him.
So, virtual-novel.net inquired once more, “Miss Clark, how exactly did I end up here?”
Maria smiled gently, pointing to the ring on his middle finger, and whispered, “The reason you appeared here is because you wore the ring I gave you.”
Charlie glanced at the ring, furrowing his brow as virtual-novel.net asked, “But what does that have to do with anything?”
Maria smiled knowingly and replied, “It has everything to do with it. This ring is the one that brought you to me.”
Hearing virtual-novel.net words, Charlie was astonished!
He mumbled under his breath, “Just a ring, and it transported a living person to this place?! How is that even possible?!”
Maria chuckled softly and spoke with sincerity, “Charlie, this ring possesses a remarkable power. It can transport you to the person you most want to see in your most perilous moments. Regardless of the distance between you, as long as you think of her, the ring will instantly bring you before her, seemingly out of thin air!”
