Chapter 398
Miranda arched an eyebrow.
"Alright, we'll start the treatment tomorrow."
When she took on this case, she only received an initial payment of three million dollars upfront.
Even though she had a good relationship with them, treating illnesses was a labor-intensive job, and she naturally needed to charge for it.
She always said that her healing services required compensation.
Otherwise, for healers like her, it could actually affect their luck and longevity.
As for how much compensation, it depended on the effort she had to put in and the wealth of the client.
A human life, especially for someone from a wealthy family, could trigger significant changes in the world.
So, for the wealthy, her fees were often higher.
The greater the potential impact, the more she would charge.
This time, the treatment plan for Susie required significant effort on her part.
She would need to increase the fee accordingly.
Seeing Sebastian's straightforwardness, she decided to start Susie's treatment the very next day.noveldrama
"The first phase of treatment will take about three days. After that, we'll observe for a while before moving on to the second phase," she explained. "The follow-up period depends on her condition."
Sebastian nodded, then remembered something. "You mentioned before that there might be something special about my and my sister's bodies, which is why Susie survived the curse, and I can touch her."
Miranda glanced at the blood sample in the test tube, which seemed to contain something she had added.
The blood was undergoing a subtle transformation, not visible to the naked eye.
But to Miranda, its changes were apparent.
"Indeed, you and your sister have something in your bodies that can suppress this curse, something like an antibody in modern medical terms. But this can't be detected with current medical technology because it's more like an energy," Miranda explained slowly.
"This kind of thing isn't common in humans," she continued. "You and your sister are quite lucky since it doesn't run in families. It's more like a genetic mutation."
Such mutations weren't unheard of, just exceedingly rare.
Much like when a new virus appears, some individuals are naturally immune or their bodies mutate to resist it.
If it weren't for this, Susie would have succumbed to the curse immediately.
She wouldn't have survived so long with the curse lingering in her body.
And because of this, the toxins from Susie's body hadn't harmed Sebastian.
It was quite a rare situation.
Miranda's explanation helped Sebastian understand the situation.
"I want to find out who hurt Susie," he said quietly.
Miranda looked at him. "Haven't you found out after all these years?"
Her words were blunt, but Sebastian merely chuckled.
He wasn't offended.
"So, can you help me?" Sebastian asked, his gaze pleading.
"I didn't find anything unusual in the surveillance footage. Everyone there
was from the Everhart family that t
day, both elders and younger
members, at least fifty people. Many interacted with Susie, making it hard to pinpoint a suspect."
Miranda frowned.
"They're all family members with significant influence and stakes in
Everhart family businesses,"
Sebastian explained. "Without evidence, I can't investigate them directly."
Miranda responded coolly, "I'm just here to treat the illness."
She wasn't keen on getting involved
in family feuds. What she w
know w was the source of the
and to confirm if it was what she suspected.
As for the perpetrator, it was likely someone who had obtained the curse from a practitioner and used it against Susie through some medium.
Finding the culprit wasn't her priority.
If the curse caster was indeed a member of the Crow organization, she had other ways to confront them.
So she had no intention of helping Sebastian find the culprit; it was his problem to solve.
