A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 47 Obsession.

About a week ago, Elizabeth had suddenly refused to consume anything and locked herself in the study. sometimes not even sleeping at night. In the beginning, Brandon hadn’t taken it seriously and assumed she had a bad appetite. Besides, he was a Divine Realm Master and could discern with a glance if one was physically healthy. Her body was clearly in good condition.

It had lasted for three days, after which she became exhausted and her gaze turned strained. It was clear something was wrong, so he asked famous physicians to attend to her. However, it didn’t work even with different physicians.

Brandon had become worried as he watched her deteriorate mentally and become thinner. It had been two days ago that he heard his father’s illness was cured by a prodigal young physician, upon which he had decided to ask William to check Elizabeth’s condition. It was then that he asked his brother Sheldon for William’s number and called William to invite him there.

When Brandon had finished describing the details, William pondered for a while. “Where is she?”

Brandon pointed at the study. “She’s still in the study. I’m worried to death.”

If something made a Divine Realm Master like him say that, then it was extremely serious.

William inquired. “Can I go in?”

Brandon nodded and approached the door of the study before knocking. “Elizabeth, Daddy brought a friend here to see you.

After a while, a weak voice rang out. “Come in.”

Brandon opened the door. William noticed that the study was designed in a traditional style, where the walls were covered with paintings and inscriptions from famous artists. An attractive young girl with long hair and wide eyes sat behind the desk. She looked to be around fifteen or sixteen. She did not look at them when they came in, her eyes focused instead on an old book on the desk.

Brandon explained, “Elizabeth has liked collecting old books since childhood, so I found all of these for her.

William observed Elizabeth. She looked physically healthy from a medical expert’s point of view, but her mental state was clearly problematic. Her life might be at risk if this went on.

Countless cases flashed across his mind and he immediately found many similar cases. Smiling, he went behind the desk and glanced at the book. “Elizabeth, what book are you reading?”

She closed the book and answered neutrally, “A prodigy from ancient times. He wrote this by hand, so this is the only existing copy.”

He nodded. “Then he must be an amazing prodigy.”

“Of course. He could write verses and poetry at three years old, and by the time he turned four, his calligraphy was already better than his teacher’s. He passed the college entry exam at ten and the state examination at fifteen. Unfortunately, he was frail and died at sixteen, or he would have gotten the top spot in the national examination.

William opened his third eye and glanced at the book but saw nothing special. So, what is the source of the

Suddenly, he had an idea. He remembered a woman from a case who had refused to eat and drink butt kept daydreaming after seeing a painting of a scholar. It was a similar condition to Elizabeth’s.

He smiled. “We won’t disturb you any longer.”

William then motioned at Brandon to leave and closed the door behind them, upon which Brandon asked urgently, “Have you noticed anything?”

William nodded. “I have some inkling, but I cannot be sure of it
