Chapter 1730 You Are Not One of Us

After she hung up the phone, Drexel approached Wynter with visible excitement. 'Ms. Quinnell, the medicine has shown remarkable effects! Many patients are already starting to recover!"

Unbeknownst to them, a group of patients had followed closely behind Drexel. As they saw him speaking with Wynter, they gathered around, their eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Ms. Quinnell. We wouldn't have made it through this ordeal without you."

"We've all begun to recover thanks to your medicine. We came together to express our gratitude."

"I can't believe how young you are. You truly live up to the saying, 'Great talent shows itself early."

The crowd spoke one after another, and when they finished, all eyes turned toward Wynter. In unison, they bowed deeply.

Wynter tried to help them stand one by one, but they remained bent over.

Suddenly, a golden light emanated from behind them, surging toward Wynter and merging into her body. It was invisible to the naked eye, but Wynter knew it was the merit she earned.

After the group finally stood upright, Wynter addressed them. "This was a collective effort. You've only just begun to recover. Please return to your wards to rest for now."

She then instructed the nurses to assist the patients back to their rooms.

Meanwhile, the Special Unit sent in an update. "All medicine has been distributed, and the crisis is resolved." Wynter quickly issued a message. The outbreak is under control. Lift the lockdowns."

Just then, Lucas called. "Wynter, without you, Cascadia might have fallen under this virus' grip. We've just apprehended a spy hiding in the province, and we've also tracked down the two fugitives from the hospital. If nothing goes wrong, they'll be captured within ten minutes."

Wynter replied firmly, "Lucas, once those two are caught, inform me immediately. I'll handle their interrogations personally.'

Lucas acknowledged her request and hung up, heading off to oversee the capture operation.

Meanwhile, in a courtyard located in the western part of Colifernia, someone reported, "Mr. Lofstedt, Mr. Tarvin has been taken into custody."

Eric Lofstedt, who was sitting on a rocking chair, slowly opened his eyes. "Taken into custody? For what?" "He tried to intimidate the Quinnell family and caused trouble in the restricted area during the lockdown." Hearing this, Eric shook his head. 'What a useless fool. Deliver a message to the Chamber of Commerce later. From today onward, Rohan is relieved of his position as chairman. Make sure it's handled discreetly.

"If anyone asks, say it was Rohan's own decision, and that the chamber had no involvement in his plans."

After giving the instructions, Eric closed his eyes again and muttered failed. Rohan will have to suffice as a scapegoat.

Not long after, Lucas sent Wynter a message. "The targets have been apprehended. They are in the holding cell.

Upon seeing the message, Wynter headed to the door. She straddled her superbike, revved the engine, and sped toward the holding cell.

Arriving at the location, she strode directly toward the room where the two individuals were being held. Inside, Dave and Arwel sat with their legs crossed, their demeanor relaxed and completely oblivious danger inching closer.

Dave spoke first, sneering "You're that nurse from the hospital. I had a bad feeling about you. If I'd known, I'd have taken care of you earlier."

Wynter smirked disdainfully. "Dream on. Letting you escape from the hospital was my oversight, but this is Cascadia. No matter how far you run, you'll never leave this place."

Dave replied dismissively, "It's just a matter of time. Sooner or later, we'll walk out of here."

"I'm afraid things won't go as you hope. You'll be staying here permanently. But before that, I have a few questions for you," Wynter replied, unfazed by Dave's words.
