Bella stared into the mirror, her expression hardening, determination flickering in her eyes. She slowly opened
the window, letting the night breeze brush against her delicate face.
She couldn't keep waiting for fate to decide her life.
The next day, Sloane devoted herself to treating the seventeen patients with memory damage. As for Bella, she
had all but forgotten her. She never expected the girl to show up in person the very next day to give thanks.
The doorbell at the Hawthorne estate chimed softly.
Butler Morris opened the door to find a girl in a neat school uniform standing outside, a carefully wrapped gift
box cradled in her hands.
“Hello, I'm Bella. Yesterday Dr. Rivers and Mr. Hawthorne broughthome, so | ctoday to thank them,” the
girl said gently, bowing with polite grace.
Morris took in her clean, modest appearance. “Please wait a moment. I'll announce you.”
In the study, Lucas was working through documents. When Morris reported, he frowned. “Bella?”
“The sgirl you and Ms. Rivers drove hlast night,” Morris clarified. “She says she wants to thank you
both in person.”
Without looking up, Lucas said flatly, “Not necessary. Send her away.”
Returning to the door, Morris politely relayed the message. Bella's face flickered with disappointment before
softening into a smile of understanding. “It was presumptuous of me. Then may | trouble you to pass this gift to
Dr. Rivers instead?”

Morris accepted it, noting the hand-drawn card affixed to the box, a smiling cartoon face sketched in bright
colors. Bella explained shyly, “I heard Dr. Rivers treats many patients every day. The cookies might give her a
little energy boost...”
“I'll see that she receives them,” Morris replied with a nod.
As he watched Bella leave, he carried the gift to the kitchen for inspection. The cookies smelled warm and sweet,
each one shaped like a small animal, crafted with care.
At that moment, Sloane was in a special ward at the hospital, focused on treating her first patient-a seven- year-
old boy lying motionless on the bed, his eyes vacant.
“Martin, can you hear me?” she asked softly as her silver needle slipped precisely into an acupuncture point on
his head.
The boy’s eyes shifted faintly, though he gave no answer. On the monitor, his brainwaves spiked with unusual
activity.
“Dr. Rivers, here’s the latest bloodwork,” a nurse said, handing over a file. “The neurotoxin levels have

“Third needle.” Her voice was calm as she guided it in at a special angle. Suddenly, the boy’s fingers twitched.
“There's a response!” the nurse exclaimed, her voice hushed with excitement.
Sloane didn’t relax. Instead, her focus sharpened. “Prepare the antidote. Half a milliliter, intravenous.”
