Chapter 291


    When Katherine rushed to Keith''s ward, he was still unconscious. His eyes were sunken, and his


    cheeks were hollowed; he looked badly out of shape.


    "He was just fine yesterday. Who knew he would turn out like this after a night had passed?" Tyler


    sighed, looking worried.


    Listening to his words, Katherine bit her lips and immediately pressed the bell. When the nurses came


    into the room, she ordered them, "Push him into the examination room. I''m going to give him a


    checkup."


    Since the nurses had just received an order to cooperate with Katherine no matter what she did, they


    didn''t hesitate and quickly obliged.


    The nurses ushered Keith into the examination room, and Joaquin stood outside of the room since he


    knew he couldn''t be of any help. As for Tyler, he was bewildered by the oue. While they waited


    outside the room, he couldn''t help but ask Joaquin, "Who exactly is Miss Cornell? Is she an expert in


    the medical field too?"


    Hearing his words, Joaquin only hummed in response, seemingly uninterested in answering the man''s


    question. Noticing his reaction, Tyler understood and stopped asking.


    After all, there were many hidden talented people in the world. As someone who held a high position,


    he had met some of those people, so he was not surprised at all.


    Half an hourter, Katherine walked out of the examination room with the nurses pushing Keith back to


    the ward. When both men saw her, they trailed behind her and asked, "How''s Keith?"


    At this moment, Katherine''s face looked paler than before and she was perspiring profusely, seemingly


    as if she had used up all her strength. "It''s bad. He is being infected by the man-faced curse. It wasn''t


    that of a big deal at first, but Keith has a special physique. Thus, not only will the antidote be


    ineffective, but it will also shorten the curse''s incubation period in his body, which is why he had an


    outbreak after a night. To Keith, the antidote is useless now," she replied.


    When Joaquin heard her words, he was stunned. "Does that mean there is no way of saving Keith from


    the man-faced curse?" he asked.


    "Yes. I tried my great-grandmother''s ancient medical techniques, and it didn''t work." Katherine nodded.


    "Well, what do we do now?" Tyler was anxious as he didn''t expect things to turn out like this. "Keith is


    my utmost outstanding student. He is a genius, and I was going to rmend him to advance his


    studies to a higher level. He can''t have anything happen to him!"


    Hearing his words, Katherine bit her lips without saying a word. She was Keith''s sister, and she didn''t


    want anything to happen to him too. At that moment, her eyes darkened, and she said seriously, "Well,


    there is a way to save him. The curse will be lifted if we find the source of it."


    "Source? What does that mean?" asked Joaquin with a frown.


    "There is a mother insect andrva in the man-faced curse. Since the mother insect controls thervae,


    it will still be within the body even though thervae have been killed. Only when the mother insect dies


    will thervae disappear, which means the mother insect is like a switch. Thervae will stop being


    active once the mother insect is gone. Now, it was thervae who infected everyone."


    As Katherine exined about the curse, Tyler felt lightheaded from the information, and it took him a


    while to understand what she was saying. I only found out about the man-faced curse two days ago,


    but she knows so much about it. Plus, she mentioned some sort of ancient medical technique, so she


    must be highly skilled.


    Thinking about it, Tyler couldn''t help but change his perspective of her and was in awe. "How do we


    find the mother insect, Miss Cornell? You can leave this to me," he said.


    From his perspective, he felt it would be more convenient for him to take up the task than Katherine.


    After all, he had lived in Kynd at a very young age and knew many people within the medical field


    and scientificmunity.


    However, she shook her head and replied, "You won''t be able to find it, Mr. Morris, but I will entrust you


    to keep an eye on Keith. I have already sedated his nerves, so he will be fine for now. I''ll do my best to


    find the mother insect."


    When Joaquin heard her words, he frowned and looked at her worriedly. "I''ll go with you. Where are


    you going to look for it, though?"


    However, Katherine didn''t reply to him and only said solemnly, "I need a room where no one will disturb


    me."


    When Joaquin and Tyler heard her request, they were stunned, but no one asked questions.


    "Alright, I''ll tell the nurse about this," replied Joaquin as he nodded.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Katherine nodded upon hearing his words. After Joaquin left the room, she looked at Keith lying in bed,


    her gaze dark. In that split second, she sensed something was off and raised her head abruptly to stare


    at Tyler.


    "Keith never came in contact with the man-faced curse, nor did he encounter any of the patients


    before, so how did he get infected by it?" she asked.


    Tyler was stunned when he heard her words. However, he shook his head and looked lost. "I… I''m not


    sure. Keith is indeed a good kid. He never walked around Kynd and only stayed in the test


    Suspicion rose in Katherine when she heard his words. Then, she quickly asked, "Did he meet anyone


    or do anything when he had the symptoms yesterday?"


    Judging by Keith''s condition, Katherine knew that he had been infected yesterday. However, it was


    abnormal as to where he had gotten the curse from.


    "Nothing special in particr…" Tyler shook his head. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of


    something. "Oh, right! The school administrator came to inspect eachboratory. Keith was busy doing


    experiments in theb, and the school administrator made small talk with him." As he spoke, he


    paused for a moment and frowned. "However, this happens once a month, so there isn''t anything


    unusual with it."


    At that moment, Katherine squinted her eyes and had her guard up. "Did that school administrator have


    any physical contact with Keith?" she asked.


    "Physical contact, you say…" He thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I don''t think so."


    Although he denied it, she still felt that something was off. She pondered for a moment before


    requesting, "I want to see the testboratory''s footage from yesterday, Mr. Morris."


    As soon as Tyler heard her request, he immediately understood what she was thinking and looked


    surprised. "Do you think…"


    "Although it is still unknown, I will thoroughly investigate every clue I find. I hope that you can


    understand." Katherine bit her lips.


    After hesitating for a moment, Tyler sighed and said, "Fine. After all, Keith is one of my students.


    Seeing him lying here makes my heart ache too. All I can do is help him with this." Then, he


    immediately called the staff member at the testboratory and asked them to send him the footage


    from yesterday.


    Fifteen minutester, he received the footage, and Katherine immediately forwarded the timestamp to


    where the school administrator was checking up on Keith. Then, she inspected it closely.


    At that moment, time passed slowly. After five minutes, Tyler suddenly gasped in surprise while


    Katherine''s face turned cold, her eyes filled with fury.


    As the footage yed out, they saw the school administrator pouring white liquid into Keith''s cup when


    he was getting something from the cab!
