Beatrix, Frederick, and the others sighed at the man’s story.
Emmanuel never expected that besides Eastern Star Mountain, there were so many impoverished
people in Onza.
“Don’t cry. As long as you live, life will get better!” Mackenzie’s delicate hand gently patted the man’s
hand. The middle-aged man suddenly seemed to gain magical courage and looked at this goddess-like
figure in amazement.
“What about you?” Mackenzie turned to the elderly woman beside her. The woman was as thin as a
rail, barely breathing, with wrinkles covering her face, but the age on her medical record was only 41. If
her age wasn’t known, one would think she was older than Terence, and Emmanuel and others would
believe it too.
“I… I have nothing. I work as a cleaner in the Hadley factory, with a monthly sry of only 2900. Last
month’s wages are still owed to me. My family can’t afford to eat, and my child is so hungry that he
steals from others. He’s been caught and sent to juvenile detention…” She said, tears streaming down
her face.
Mackenzie nodded and gently patted her back, encouraging her, ‘Hang in there. The
Hadley factory will pay youst month’s wages, and your child will be released soon. He can’t be
without a mother.”
The woman cried even hoarser. Watching her cry without making a sound, Beatrix cried tears of
empathy. How could there be such misery in the world?!
Later, Mackenzie chatted with the other patients individually, encouraging them. Just as she was about
to reach Ellie, the middle-aged man who had just sighed suddenly said, “Ah, beautifuldy, I actually
still want to live, but I’m afraid I won’t make it. Our illness can’t be cured at all, and we can’t afford the
medical expenses…”
At that, Emmanuel knew it was time for him to intervene. He immediately said, “What if I told you I
could cure you for free?”
“What? This-” The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up with an evident glimmer of hope. But the person
beside him immediately whispered, “Elmer, are you crazy? We have to die…”
Ellie also opened her mouth anxiously, but after hearing this, she didn’t say anything.
“No! I don’t want treatment. Let us die. I don’t believe you can cure me. Don’t bother!”
The middle-aged man suddenly changed his attitude.
Emmanuel was puzzled and couldn’t help but nce at Mackenzie. It seemed that there was a force
controlling these people behind the scenes. Knowing that several forces had united to attack Terence
Group, it couldn’t be that simple to resolve.
In actuality, Emmanuel could forcibly treat these people, but what was the use? If these people
cooperated with the hidden hand behind the scenes to die, could he save them?
“Is someone ckmailing you? Or giving you money to cooperate in dying?” Mackenzie suddenly
asked.
The surrounding patients were dumbfounded, and the middle-aged man became even more panicked.
Is this woman really a god? How did she know?!
“Everyone, are your lives worth less than those people’s lives? Are you willing to help those scheming
people achieve their goals with your lives?” Mackenzie’s words were piercing.
The poor people had pondered this question many times. They were all human beings, yet why was
the difference in social treatment so great? At first, they were unwilling, but society’s oppression made
thempromise repeatedly, lowering their threshold until they became what they were now.

“Since you all say you’re workers at the Hadley factory, I believe you!” Mackenzie suddenly spoke with
conviction and determination. “I guarantee that as long as you ept treatment and live on, I won’t let
anyone ckmail you, and you must believe in thew! No matter how much money those people offer
you to die, as long as you bravely live on, I will give you the same amount of money!”
“What?”
“This…”
The patients looked at each other in shock. Some were suspicious. But the middle-aged man was the
first to grit his teeth and say, “Ma’am, I believe you! I want to live!”
“Well done!” Mackenzie encouraged him, then nced at Emmanuel again.
