Chapter 346


    Mirabe stepped into the living room where James was wrapping up a call on his smartphone. As he


    caught sight of her, the stern look on his face softened and he said into the phone, “Mhm, gotta go.”


    He pocketed his phone and turned to Mirabe. His handsome face exuded a gentle charm. “You’ve


    arrived.”


    With a light nod, Mirabe approached him. Her pretty, almond–shaped eyes were fixed on him, “Not


    bad, you’re looking better.”


    James met her gaze, and his one eyebrow arched slightly. “Is this how you treat all your patients?”


    “Hmm?” Mirabe’s eyes flickered with confusion.


    A wistful look crossed James‘ face before he chuckled and shook his head. “Nothing.” He gestured


    towards the couch, inviting her to sit, then strode to the fridge and fetched a bottle of soda. He twisted


    off the cap and handed it to Mirabe.


    Mirabe took the bottle without a second thought.


    Wyatt and Curtis had just parked the car and walked in when they noticed James‘ actions. They both


    paused, exchanged a nce, and silently questioned the odd feeling in the air.


    “I never thought we’d end up neighbors again,” James said, sinking into the sofa across from Mirabe,


    with a hint of surprise in his voice.


    Taking a sip of her soda, Mirabe set it down on the coffee table and raised an eyebrow, replying in a


    drawling tone, “Fate has a funny way of messing with us.”


    James‘ lips twitched at her remark.


    Just then, Wyatt and Curtis approached.


    “You finished your work?” Mirabe asked Wyatt. Her curiosity was aroused.


    James‘ attention also shifted to Wyatt, who cleared his throat and said, “All taken care of.” Thest


    thing he’d want was for them to catch wind of this situation. It was too embarrassing.


    “Oh, that was quick,” Mirabe mused, leaning back against the couch.

    Wyatt handed her a wooden box. “Take a look at the medicine inside.”


    Mirabe eyed the box with a sense of foreboding. She opened it and picked up the porcin bottle,


    immediately noticing the mark on its bottom. Unscrewing the lid, she sniffed briefly before recapping it.


    “Will this help James? Can it cure his condition?” Wyatt asked eagerly.


    Mirabe’s expression softened as she reced the bottle in the box. “No, it can’t.”

    Wyatt’s face fell at her words.


    “How did youe by this medicine?” she inquired.


    Curtis spoke up. “Acquired through special channels. Rumor has it, this medicine can cure all manner


    of stubborn illnesses.”


    Mirabe’s expression grewplex. The medicine was indeed powerful but clearly not the cure for


    James‘ ailment. After a brief pause, she exined, “It’s undoubtedly a fine medicine, but it depends on


    the patient.”


    Turning to James, she added, “At best, it’ll give you a bit of a boost, but don’t count on it for more than


    that.”


    Curtis stood there, dumbfounded. The medicine was said to originate from the enigmatic family of


    Massolio, whose members were renowned for their extraordinary healing abilities. There was


    apparently no mdy they couldn’t cure. Yet, no one knew the whereabouts of the Massolio family,


    which made any medicine from them incredibly rare and valuable.


    This particr bottle had passed through many hands to reach them, but now, Ms. Mirabe was telling


    them that it was of no use to James…
