She explained, “Given that you stay deep in the hills where the air is fresh, and the fact that she doesn’t smoke, it is unlikely for
her to get lung cancer. However, don’t forget that the mines create a lot of pollution. Letguess, did Josee work in the mine
when she was still healthy? As for the other miners, do many of them smoke?”
Nigel nodded. “Yes, my wife worked as a cook there. During mealtimes, the miners would smoke while they
gathered and rest.”
“Precisely.” Arielle explained, “Over time, breathing in all the secondhand smoke and dust from the mine will cause lung cancer.
Moreover, given the working conditions, Henrick should have provided his workers with masks and health check-ups.
Unfortunately, he isn’t someone that would do that.”
“| see. So that’s what happened...”
While both of them were still chatting, Josee finally woke up.
“Josee, how do you feel?” Nigel hurried to her side.

Taking a deep breath, she noticed the uncomfortable sensation in her chest had been alleviated.
When she reported what she felt, Nigel dropped to his knees right away.
“Ms. Moore, you really are a miracle doctor. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!”
Feeling embarrassed, Arielle quickly got Vinson to help Nigel up.
She replied, “She requires at least five treatment sessions. Also, given her need for fresh air, she needs a new place to stay as the
pollution from the mine has reached this place.”
“I... I'll move at once deeper into the hills.”
After giving it sthought, Arielle suggested to Vinson, “Why don’t we take them back with us to Jadeborough? | can treat her
with acupuncture and herbs. After that, we can send her to Carter's hospital for radiotherapy.”
Vinson nodded. “Sure. Not a problem at all.”
“It's decided then!” Looking at the Lowes, Arielle asserted, “You should cto Jadeborough with us.”
Worried that they would be imposing themselves, Josee and Nigel declined right away. However, they finally agreed after much
persuasion from Arielle.
Coincidentally, the herbs and chicken soup were ready.
The bowl of herbs tasted bitter and were hard to stomach. The moment Josee tasted it, she spat it out right away. After that, she
was traumatized by it.
Finally, after much coaxing from Nigel, Josee finished all of it.
Meanwhile, Arielle waited quietly by the side. Just when Vinson was about to ask her what she was waiting for, Josee began to
cough intensely.
Hack! With a forceful cough, Josee vomited a mouthful of black-colored blood.
Arielle heaved a sigh of relief. “After a few more treatments, we will know that your condition is improving once the blood isn't
black anymore.”
Just as she spoke, Vinson cover with a bowl of chicken soup.

The soup boiled out of the old hen was thick and yellowish. Since Arielle didn’t like oily soups, she waved her hand to decline, “Why
don’t | skip this one?”
Vinson glared at her with a darkened expression. “Drink
it.”
At that moment, Arielle empathized with Josee. With a grimacing expression, she finished the soup in one go.
Feeling satisfied, Vinson wiped the corners of her oily mouth with his fingertips and remarked, “It’s about tfor us to go.”
“Mmm-hmm.” Turning her head, she blushed when she saw the Lowes grinning at her. She proceeded to change the subject. “You
guys should pack. We'll be waiting outside.”
Before she finished, she was already halfway out the
door.
Beaming at her response, Vinson followed her out.
The Lowes quickly packed and got into one of the cars behind Arielle.
Coincidentally, Henrick was inside the trunk of that particular car.
