Chapter 298
Mirabella slouched back against the couch, her gaze lingering thoughtfully as
Curtis’ figure disappeared upstairs. It was only when he was out of sight that she
allowed her gaze to drift. away. It seemed that her once unassuming neighbor
might have a more complicated background than she had initially thought.
Soon enough, Curtis returned with a porcelain jar, which he handed to James
with a respectful gesture.
James glanced toward Mirabella. With a nonchalant lift of her eyelids, she said,
“One a day.”
James didn't press further. He unscrewed the lid and shook a pill the size of a
pea into his
hand.
No longer skeptical about the pill's legitimacy, Curtis poured a glass of water and
handed it to his boss. After swallowing the pill, James felt a wave of relief wash
over him. His complexion. once pallid, now held a healthier hue.
Observing the apparent effect, Curtis suddenly bowed toward Mirabella. “I
apologize for my earlier rudeness, Ms. Mirabella. I hope you can forgive my
indiscretion.”
Mirabella glanced at Curtis, her eyes inadvertently sweeping over the scar that
ran from his temple to the back of his head before she waved her hand
dismissively. “It's fine.”
Feeling a twinge of shame, Curtis insisted, “Should you need anything in the
future. Ms. Mirabella, please don't hesitate to ask.”
Mirabella's eyelid twitched, and she quickly replied, “No need, there isn’t
anything.”
Curtis paused, taken aback.
Clearing her throat, Mirabella turned her attention back to James, “Have you
been feeling a stabbing pain in your shin lately?”
James nodded, “Yes, it's been more noticeable these past few days. I had it
checked out, but they didn’t find anything wrong.”
Leaning casually against the armrest, Mirabella seemed aloof as she pondered
for a moment before speaking, “The old injury in your body is actually linked to a
wound on your shin.”
Nikolai had also examined James" leg without finding any injury, and had
checked his pulse. without detecting any anomalies besides the underlying
condition. He asked curiously. “What do you mean by that?”
“Some wounds aren't visible to the naked eye.” Mirabella said with a tight-lipped
smile, leaving it at that.
Nikolai, realizing she wasn't going to elaborate, changed the subject, “Do you
have a way to completely heal James* chronic condition?”

Curtis’ gaze was fixed intently on Mirabella.
She shrugged. “Not at the moment.”
Her response clearly disappointed Curtis, but he quickly nodded in
acknowledgment. “Please do what you can to help James recover. Ms.
Mirabella.”
Mirabella simply glanced at him, saying nothing more.
“Mirabella, is the prescription you just mentioned from an old herbal
compendium?” Nikolai inquired.
Touching the tip of her nose, Mirabella replied without batting an eyelid, “I'm not
quite sure. I just saw it in a medical text.”
