    Once the results were out, Noah looked at theb report with a stony face.


    Howard was taken aback by his serious demeanor and asked, “Noah, say something. How are Elliot’s


    test results?”


    Elliot sat quietly on the hospital bed, waiting for Noah to speak.


    Noah remained focused on theb report for a while.


    After some time, he finally said indifferently, “The medication I’ve prescribed recently has been effective


    in slowing down the virus’s spread. However, I still need to take a scan of his head.”


    “That sounds like good news. Noah, when will you show a bit more emotion on your face?” Howard


    commented, shaking his head in exasperation.


    Noah did not respond and left to find Yosef to arrange a head scan for Elliot.


    As Noah walked away, Howard murmured, “I can’t help but wonder if there’s any girl that can make you


    drop this aloof demeanor.”


    Just outside the door, Noah heard every word and stopped in his tracks.


    For the past six months, a persistent girl had confessed her feelings to him countless times. Due to


    Elliot’s situation, he had not seen her for almost a week.


    She had probably given up and returned to Farlem.


    Noah’s gaze turned cold, and he quickly readjusted his focus and strode away.


    Another half–hour passed, and Noah returned with Elliot’s brain CT scan.


    “He lost his sight because, after the blue serum failed, the virus spread rapidly, causing a tumor to


    develop in his brain, putting pressure on the central nervous system,” Noah exined.


    “A tumor?” Howard was stunned.


    Although he was not well–versed in medical matters, he knew that anything rted to tumors was not a


    good sign.


    He instinctively nced at Elliot on the hospital bed.


    Noah continued, “It’s benign, just a small tumor. We can remove it through surgery, and with post-


    operative medication, his eyes should recover.”


    Howard breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Noah, can you please exin everything in one go next


    time? You scared the hell out of me.”


    Hearing the best–case scenario, Elliot finally smiled and teased, “Seems like doctors enjoy scaring


    their patients.”

    Noah ignored their banters, standing by the bedside table and organizing Elliot’s medical records.


    Then, he calmly exined the arrangement, “I rmend doing the surgery as soon as possible. Take


    him to the general hospital in town tomorrow afternoon. I’ll be there earlier for preparation, and we’ll


    conduct the surgery secretly.”


    Howard nodded. “Alright.”


    It was nearly 10 p.m. when they left theb.


    The snowfall outside intensified, and Noah held an umbre to shield them from the snowstorm


    while Howard assisted Elliot.


    The three hurried toward the outdoor parking lot.


    Suddenly, with a whooshing sound, a snowball flew from the rear, heading straight for the back of


    Elliot’s head.


    Sensing it keenly, Noah quickly used the ck umbre in his hand to block it.


    “Who’s that? Trying to attack others from behind? Are you asking for trouble?” Howard spoke with a


    hint of menace, narrowing his eyes.


    A young couple emerged from a ck van behind them.


    The girl jogged over, bowing in apology. “I’m sorry, we were having a snowball fight and identally hit


    you. Is this gentleman okay?”


    As she spoke, she approached Elliot.


    Noah swiftly blocked her line of sight, stating, “He’s fine.”


    Howard was far from convinced and scoffed, “This is the entrance to theb, and you’re ying games


    here in the middle of the night? Who are you trying to fool?”
