Chapter 508 Confrontation (Part One) The female doctor shook her head.

"We weren't quick enough," she lamented. "His body was already poisoned, and the cold has intensified the poison's effects after a day and night in the ocean." "Intensified?" Luis looked puzzled. "I thought there was a month before the first critical phase?" The doctor replied with a sigh, "There's no more time. If he doesn't regain consciousness soon, he might complete the first treatment phase in his sleep." Luis paled at the doctor's words.

Grasping the doctor's arm tightly, his legs almost gave out beneath him. The doctor steadied him before he could

fall.

"Please, stay strong," the doctor cautioned.

Luis' plea was desperate. "Please, do something. He's just made amends with his desired one. They've only just begun to enjoy better days. He can't die now." "Luis..." The doctor's expression softened. Having known Luis for years, she was aware he seldom sought favors. Yet, for his friend, Luis pled like this.

I'll do what I can. The rest is in fate's hands." Luis, struck silent by worry, furrowed his brows.

With a heavy sigh, the doctor added, "When he arrived, he murmured something about 'Raegan' before slipping into a deep coma.” After the doctor departed, Luis remained steadfast by Mitchel's hospital bed, refusing to leave the room. He grasped the need to keep Mitchel's presence here under wraps, a move aimed to ensure Mitchel's safety

and the doctor's as well.

As Luis watched Mitchel's strained expression during his unconscious state, he remembered what the doctor just said. He cleared his throat and softly said to Mitchel, "You can't just sleep like this. Raegan is still waiting for you to return..." The next second, Luis gasped since Mitchel's eyelashes appeared to twitch.
