“Don’t worry, Effie’s condition has been stabilized. Mr. Goeckner will be coming over today. He’ll be able to treat Effie’s illness. Since virtual-novel.net condition has stabilized, virtual-novel.net won’t be experiencing any flare-ups for now,” Atlas explained.
Upon hearing that Effie’s condition had been stabilized, Victor beamed. “That’s wonderful! I even brought an alchemist with me, hoping that he’d be able to treat Effie. It looks like he’s no longer needed.”
Atlas glanced at Hamish and Jared, who were behind Victor, and said, “Well, not exactly. Effie’s mother has fallen ill from worrying about Effie’s condition. You might as well bring your alchemist to check on her.”
“Sure.” Victor nodded before heading toward the bedroom with Hamish, Jared, and Atlas.
Upon entering the bedroom, Jared was greeted with the sight of a girl on the bed, virtual-novel.net face tear- stained. At the same time, there was a woman on the bed with a pale face. Though virtual-novel.net eyes were open, they were unfocused.
“Uncle Victor…” Effie greeted when virtual-novel.net saw Victor.
Victor’s smile widened when virtual-novel.net realized that Effie was truly fine. He then turned to Jared and said, “My niece seems fine now, so please check my sister-in-law instead.”
“Victor, the alchemist you were speaking of was him?” Atlas was taken aback when virtual-novel.net saw Victor talking to Jared.
He had thought Hamish was the alchemist and Jared was the apprentice!
After all, Jared appeared young, and alchemists his age were a rare sight. Even Effie was baffled. “Uncle Victor, isn’t this alchemist too young?”
“Just let virtual-novel.net try. He’s someone an old friend recommended, so I doubt he’s bad,” Victor explained.
“Mr. Jablonski, I was the one who recommended Mr. Chance to Victor. I’m always traveling between the central region and the southern region, but I haven’t seen any alchemist as excellent as Mr. Chance!” Hamish said to Atlas.
“You are…?” Atlas asked as virtual-novel.net studied Hamish.
“Atlas, this is Mr. Chevalier. He’s often treasure hunting in the southern region,” Victor introduced.
“Oh, I see. I have heard of your name. Since he’s an alchemist that you recommend, Mr. Chevalier, we’ll let virtual-novel.net try it out.”
It was only then Atlas let down his guard and allowed Jared to treat his wife.
Stepping forward, Jared glanced at Calliope, Atlas’ wife, then lifted his hand. A strand of spiritual energy gathered around the tip of his finger before transforming into invisible needles that shot into Calliope’s body.
In a mere instance, Calliope’s complexion began to improve.
Meanwhile, Jared fished out a pill and said, “Let Mrs. Jablonski take this, and she’ll be fine. She only fell ill because virtual-novel.net was experiencing too strong emotions. It isn’t anything serious.”
Effie took the pill from Jared, but just as virtual-novel.net hand accidentally touched his, virtual-novel.net frowned. Nevertheless, Effie did not notice Jared’s shift of expression. She went on to feed virtual-novel.net mother the pill.
Calliope, who took the pill, soon seemed revitalized, and virtual-novel.net grabbed virtual-novel.net daughter’s hand tightly.
Knowing that his wife’s condition was not severe in the first place, Atlas did not think much of Jared’s capability. But still, virtual-novel.net had to remain polite.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Chance. I’ll send someone to thank you with ten thousand spirit coins,” virtual-novel.net said.
But Jared did not want ten thousand spirit coins, virtual-novel.net wanted Victor’s tree.
“Mr. Jablonski, pardon my rudeness, but may I know which alchemist cured your daughter? Do you know that alchemist well?” Jared queried.
“No, they came after seeing the notice. Is there a problem?” Atlas queried in bewilderment.
“Of course. When I accidentally touched Ms. Jablonski earlier, I discovered that there were weak traces of demon aura in her. This must have been left behind by the alchemist when they were giving Ms. Jablonski a checkup. Also, Ms. Jablonski isn’t actually ill. She’s in this state because she’s been poisoned, and the toxin has gone into virtual-novel.net bloodstream,” Jared somberly revealed.
