Chapter 301 Her brother CASSANDRA HB When Asher and I and a few Wild Crawler soldiers arrived at Keller’s, we were surprised to find that Dickson wasn’t there.

Instead, there was another younger man looking after the clinic, onel didn’t recognize. He had a gloomy expression on his bored face and his brown eyes rolled at us when we entered the clinic.

“I thought you were Dickson,” he remarked, then sighed as he shook his head in annoyance.

“Sorry to disappoint,” I apologized, though I barely meant it.

Dickson had told him that the clinic hadn’t received any new patients and several others left the

clinic given the current situation in Wegalla. Despite so, there were still a few patients who needed daily checks.

But if you’re friends of Becky, he left you a note.” My heart dropped at the mention of Becky and my eyes went wide. I exchanged a glance with Asher and then turned back to face Max. The young man wordlessly pointed ahead at the reception table, and I followed the direction of his gesture until I
