Chapter 262

No one else could cure this disease but her.

Mr. Ashcroft, with eyes red-rimmed with emotion, looked at Elian, feeling both touched and relieved.

He knew this young man had never forgotten them, those warriors who had sacrificed themselves, choosing to live in pure misery, and always kept them close to his heart.

Miranda silently regarded Elian for a moment. Just as the grandfather-grandson duo was about to speak, unable to contain themselves any longer, she began, "You haven't even mentioned what you're willing to pay. That puts me in a difficult position, you know?"

Miranda's words instantly brightened their faces with joy. Even though Elian didn't outwardly express it, his delight was evident; his deep, handsome eyes sparkled with excitement.

Mr. Ashcroft, on the other hand, could hardly contain his happiness, waving his arms around with a face full of glee.

"I knew you would say yes. You're a kind-hearted soul! Compensation isn't an issue! Whatever you want, it's yours!"

Whatever she asked for, even if it meant emptying his coffers, Mr. Ashcroft was determined to make it happen. But it wouldn't come to that; the higher-ups would foot the bill.

The key player here was the young lady, Miranda. It depended on whether she was willing. She wasn't someone who could be swayed by money alone. From what he knew about her, if she wasn't interested, no amount of compensation would change her mind.

Miranda raised an eyebrow. She had already developed the vaccines and the detox serum, after all. Whether she decided to help was entirely up to her mood.

However, the detox serum was only effective for mild cases; severe cases required her acupuncture treatment.

She wasn't sure how many people there were, which made things a bit complicated. Initially, she planned to just sell them the detox erum and call it a day after Mr. Ashcroft was cured.

But just now, she changed her mind. Those bright puppy eyes wouldn't look as good if they turned dull and disappointed.
