Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 66

Ten minutes later.

Miranda was already seated in the living room. Elian, having changed into fresh clothes, sat across from her.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Elian touched his nose, trying to hide the small smile playing at the corners of his lips.

Miranda was wrestling with whether to explain herself. But seeing Mr. Ashcroft with his eyes fixed on the floor, seemingly uninterested in her story, she decided not to.

What was she supposed to say? That she had gone to the bathroom, stumbled upon Elian showering, and saw him completely?

That was not something to bring up. What if he demanded she take responsibility once she explained?

"I've looked into your condition, Mr. Ashcroft. It's not documented in modern medicine. Last time you had an episode, I collected some samples to study. Your illness..."

She paused for a moment. Both Mr. Ashcroft and Elian waited for her to continue.

Miranda's lips curved upwards. "I can cure it."

Elian's expression changed as he heard those words, a spark of hope lighting up his eyes.

Mr. Ashcroft was visibly moved. "Really? You can really cure it?"

Miranda nodded. "However, I'll need to perform acupuncture, which may be uncomfortable, and you'll need to bear it. You must also follow my medical advice strictly. If you don't adhere to it, I'll stop the treatment.

Your illness isn't something that can be cured overnight; it'll require a treatment period. So during this time, you'll need to stay in Zephra."

Mr. Ashcroft, filled with excitement, said, "Don't worry, I've retired, so I can stay here."

Miranda nodded softly, and then said after a moment, "This illness probably affects more than just you, right?"

Mr. Ashcroft and Elian exchanged a glance. The former nodded, sighing quietly. "I'm lucky, at least I'm still alive."

Miranda smiled lightly, understanding the implication.

"Those less fortunate died horribly."
