DreameNovelChapter 142 He watched Miranda's silhouette. "Whatever you do, it's your free will." There was a slight pause in his voice. "Remember, you're free. No one can force you." After saying that, Elian switched to a lighter tone and chuckled. "I'll pick you up next twhen you check on Mr. Ashcroft." Miranda knitted her brows slightly but only resumed walking towards the door after Elian finished speaking.
Elian kept the smile on his lips as he watched Miranda enter her home. It was only when she disappeared from sight that he turned and headed towards his car parked nearby. The smile gradually faded, replaced by a steely seriousness.
As he opened the car door, his phone rang. His expression remained cool, a sharp glint in his eyes. "If you're looking for someone, go to the police. Why cto me?" With that, he ended the call and glanced back towards Miranda's villa. After a few seconds, he got into the driver's seat.

When Miranda got home, Crystal was still buried in her lab, working away. Lately, Crystal had been busy writing a paper for a journal, so Miranda didn't disturb her. She grabbed a can of cold Coke and headed upstairs. Elian's words echoed in her mind, and she furrowed her brows slightly. "Why the sudden concern?" It puzzled her why Elian would say such things out of the blue. But she had a hunch.
Lately, she had noticed unfamiliar faces lingering around, always in her vicinity. Her location seemed to have been compromised. The question was whether these people were from the law or the underworld.
It seemed they hadn't yet pinpointed her exact location or figured out who she was. Miranda wasn't anxious or worried. She wasn't new to this kind of situation. She had encountered it plenty of times in her previous life.
She suddenly had a thought, her gaze narrowing as she looked out through the balcony window. Could Elian's words be related to these people? As for Mr. Ashcroft's condition, he hadn't fully recovered yet. She had to check on him periodically. The main reason for the delay in his recovery was that her own body wasn't yet strong enough to support a full treatment.
Moreover, Mr. Ashcroft's rare illness e carried a heavy air of death. This suggested it was aggressive, having claimed many lives, and those weren't ordinary people. This was why the disease carried such a strong death aura.
According to ancient texts at NexMed Labs, there was a belief that all things in the world existed in sform of exchange and balance. Life and death, for instance.
Healers lost sof their own "energy" when saving lives, so a price needed to be paid to restore balance.

Disease also evolved and spread, becoming stronger as i er as it claimed ives. The more formidable the life it took, the stronger the disease grew. Just like the medical community often said, "The virus has evolved as it spreads."
When healers encountered such a disease, they could tell how far it had "evolved". The heavier the "death aura", the more it drained the healer's mental energy.
If it were her past self, healing Mr. Ashcroft wouldn't take so it required more tNow, ne because she needed to rest and restore her energy. That was why she started looking for the source stone. However, there hadn't been any news on the black market lately.
At that moment, William called. It was about the investigation Miranda had asked him to conduct on Wendy.
