The plane moved steadily, drawing a white line across the light blue sky. Mona leaned on Maxwell's shoulder and slowly waited for the plane to land.

After arriving at Horieta's airport, Mona and Maxwell saw Haley going to pick them up as soon as they got off the plane.

Haley immediately saw Mona walking over and Maxwell beside her. She ran over and took the luggage from Maxwell. "Mona, you're here. Come on, Jane has been waiting for you for long time."

Maxwell watched as Mona's other arm was held by Haley as she walked forward. He glared at Haley.

Haley silently retracted her hand. She thought, "Maxwell has a bad temper. I wonder why Mona can stand being with him every day!

When the three of them arrived at the hospital, Luke's medical team was there, holding a medical report of Bernard on the hospital bed. "Mona, Maxwell, you guys are here. Come over." Jane waved at Mona and the others.

Mona and Maxwell sat on the sofa beside Jane and looked at Luke expectantly.

Dr. Bird, go ahead. Everyone is here." Jane looked at Luke.

When Luke attempted to inform her, she opted to wait for Mona and the rest to join and hear it together, hence she refrained from getting the news first. She only knew that their team had developed an antidote for Bernard's poison.

"Here's the thing. We've already identified Bernard's poison. However, there's a missing medicine in the antidote. It's a rare herb. I happen to know there's a charity banquet tonight where the herb is one of the auction items. Once we acquire the herb, we'll turn it into an antidote and administer it to Bernard Then, he'll have traditional medicine to aid his recovery. Then he will be cured." After Luke finished speaking, he placed the invitation letter on the table.

He continued, "The herb is so rare that many people will be eager to possess it. Even those without illness will seek it to prolong their lives or maintain their beauty. Thus, it won't be easy to secure. I hope you can manage to acquire it."

Mona reached out to take the invitation letter on the table and said with extreme confidence, "Don't worry, I will definitely buy it."
