Chapter 175

Ch. 175 / 324 Jul 29, 2025

When the fire was burning, Alex covered Sara's eyes.

Sara whispered, "What are you doing?"

Alex said, "I'm afraid to see you cry."

Sara said, "Then why don't you just cover your eyes with your own?"

Alex did not speak again. He rubbed Sara's hair and said, "Sara, if you want to cry, cry. No one will laugh at you."

As soon as he finished his words, he felt that his palm was wet.

Alex's heart skipped a beat. She held Sara in her arms, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

He had never comforted a girl, and Sara was not like any other girl who cried because of candy and toys.

What she cried about were these ten people's lives.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and there were medical staff standing by the side to control the fire strictly.

Rolando was also very uncomfortable. She advised Sara, "I've been busy for a whole day. Go back and have a rest. The fire is estimated to be burning until the next morning."

Kenzie was also scared by this posture and her scalp was numb. "...It's true. Why don't you take it to the crematorium? It's burning here. Is it in accordance with the requirements..."

Rolando said with a good temper, "The cremation field in Mamond is as popular as the hospital. If the body rot here, it will cause bigger trouble."

Kenzie touched her arm and said in a delicate voice, "But I'm afraid... President, aren't you afraid?"

Rolando said, "Fortunately, you girls are afraid of this. Go back to sleep early."

Kenzie saw that Rolando didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she snorted angrily. She didn't know why she glared at Sara again. Sara was a little confused.

She wiped her tears and was brought back to the room by Alex. After all, it was a room for two girls. Alex didn't stay any longer and left soon.

Elaine glanced at Sara. "Are you scared?"

Sara did not expect Elaine to take the initiative to talk to him, so he said, "There's one thing."

Elaine did not say anything else. A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but before Sara looked at her carefully, her eyes had returned to that calm look.

Sara looked down at the medical book in his hand.

It seemed that Elaine was wrong. Elaine might be like this in other people's eyes, but Elaine really hated her for not being wrong.

Sara had always been sensitive to people's emotions. When she saw Elaine for the first time, she felt that Elaine didn't like her. It was estimated that she knew this, so she repeatedly reminded her not to care about it.

Sara was not the kind of person who liked to find trouble for himself. Anyway, she had only spent a few days with Elaine, and they might not meet again in the future. If Elaine didn't like her, she wouldn't like her.

Anyway, she was not a stingy person. She couldn't be loved by others.

In the light, Sara looked at the book for a while, but still found nothing. When she was about to sleep, she accidentally knocked down another book on the cabinet.

The ancient medical book had been handed down for many generations, and the pages had turned yellow. It seemed that it would fall apart at any time when it was spread out on the ground.

Sara's heart ached so much that he quickly got out of bed to pick it up. Just as his fingers touched the pages of the book, his eyes froze.

The two pages unfolded, and one page almost caught Sara's eyeballs. "...It's a fever. Ordinary herbs can't be cured, and you will die in seven days...

Sara's eyes lit up. "Isn't this the symptom of Cancer?" he thought. God helps me too!

Sara quickly picked up the book and read it carefully. Then he found that this was just an incomplete prescription extracted by the ancestors of the Martin family. Even so, it was still worth celebrating. After all, if such a virus had appeared, this prescription must be able to be treated!

Sara wrote down all the medicinal materials in the book first, and then tried to complete the ancient prescription with the other books. When she came to herself, the sky was already white. She had studied several versions, but she was not sure whether it was useful. She could only close the book first, lie on the bed and sleep for a while, and planned to continue to study tonight.

It was another busy day in the daytime. The little girl Soya had a high fever last night and didn't sleep all night. When she saw Sara in the daytime, she was also listless and couldn't raise her spirit. Sara touched her face and gave her another piece of sugar, whispering, "Soya, good girl, I'll give you the sugar tomorrow."

Soya nodded and said, "Thank you, sister."

Sara watched her finish the sugar before leaving.

Those who were not infected in the village had been sent away. When they left, they parted ways of life and death. Alex did not let Sara go to see them.

After those who had not been infected were sent away, Sara's work became much easier. After dinner, Sara plunged into his room and studied his own prescription. Finally, he passed several prescriptions, leaving only two.

These two prescriptions were different from only two or three herbs. Sara decided to try all of them. But nowadays, no one believed in traditional medicine, and there were very few places to sell it. If she wanted to get the herbs now, she had to go into the city.

At breakfast the next day, Sara told Rolando that he was going to enter the city. Before Rolando could speak, Jaelyn said in a strange tone, "To buy medicinal materials? I think we should run away, right? The environment here is too harsh. Can't First Miss stand it?"

Sara glanced at her and said, "If I had felt that I would be afraid of pain, I wouldn't have come back then."

Jaelyn sneered and said, "Who knows if it's because I want to unlock some good-looking files for myself? As a result, if I can't eat anything, I want to leave again. I've seen a lot of people like you."

Indeed, there were a lot of people like this. As soon as Jaelyn said that, many people immediately looked at Sara with criticism.

Sara turned to Rolando and said, "President, don't worry. I'll be back before tonight."

The members recruited by the Association were all volunteers. Generally speaking, those who didn't have the right to manage the volunteers were gone. Jaelyn was obviously too busy in management, and Rolando couldn't take it seriously. He gently said to Sara, "It's not easy to walk on the road. Be careful."

Sara nodded and left with Alex.

Jaelyn looked at their backs and snorted, "What kind of medicine do you want to add? I've told you that traditional medicine is unreliable and that they are all liars, but the president didn't believe it and insisted on recruiting them in."

Kenzie narrowed her eyes and asked Jaelyn in a low voice, "Jaelyn, do you think she can really figure out the treatment for Cancer?"

Jaelyn scoffed and said, "Kenzie, are you crazy? Just her? She has just graduated from college this year, and she has no way to deal with it. You might as well say that the rooster will throw eggs!"

Kenzie said in a low voice, "I hope she really has such a little ability."

"What?" Jaelyn didn't understand.

Kenzie didn't explain in detail, but said, "Next, let's keep an eye on Sara."
