Chapter 29
Cassandra inserted the needle, and Kayden immediately winced in pain. He pondered, “Why not just knock me out? In that case, it wouldn’t hurt anymore.
“Dr. Quirke, can you please be more gentle with me...
He had thought Faye was a kind person.
“If you say one more word and interrupt my acupuncture, I'll mute you with my needles.”
Kayden was quite talkative and could easily rival the chattiness of the Yates family.
Cassandra found it annoying.
“Kayden... Kenneth frowned.
Kayden was the vice team leader of Falcon Special Operations Force. It was quite embarrassing for him to yell and cry due to acupuncture.
Kayden fell silent.
He seriously doubted that Faye had inserted the needle into his most sensitive spot as he was in almost unbearable pain. After a while, Kayden’s back and hands were covered in needles, resembling a hedgehog.
Yannick found the scene quite amusing. Kayden lay on the bed with needles covering his body, screaming in pain.
If this scene were to circulate within Falcon Special Operations Force, he would undoubtedly be the subject of mockery for an entire year.
A photo of this moment might even become a lasting smudge in Kayden’s life.
He couldn’t move now, anyway. It was perfect timing to pull up a stunt like that.
Cassandra checked the needles and said emotionlessly, “We will remove them in half an
hour.
Thank you. Dr. Quirke.”
Despite being in terrible pain, Kayden still thanked her.
Cassandra ignored Kayden’s gratitude because she took money to treat him.

“Did you get the telegraph plant?”
“| have two of them. We managed to buy them at the auction.” Although Kenneth’s tone was flat, Kayden was sure that it was the gentlest word he had ever heard from Kenneth. “Yannick, take the telegraph plants to Dr. Quirke.”
Hearing this, Cassandra was delighted. She couldn’t believe that Kenneth had managed to buy the plants.
Sure enough, money could solve everything-
Cassandra took over the telegraph plants and checked them carefully. After confirming that they were genuine, she said leisurely, “The poison in Mr. Yates’ body will be removed through one more session of acupuncture. Ten days later, | will start treating his leg.”
Since Cassandra had taken the plants, she felt obliged to treat Kayden’s leg.
“Dr. Quirke, does that mean there is still hope for my leg?” Hearing that Faye would. treat his legs ten days later, Kayden immediately became excited. This meant he could. still stand up!
Over the past two sober days, he had gradually accepted the fact that his legs were disabled.
He did not expect that there would be a cure.
“Didn't Mr. Zelinski tell you?” Cassandra raised her eyebrows, glancing at Kayden and then at Kenneth with an amused expression.
“Kenneth, why didn’t you tell me? Do you know how sad | have been looking at my broken legs these days?” Kayden’s eyes widened as he looked at Kenneth.
‘How could he keep it from me?!” Kayden thought.
“| just got the plants last night. What are you talking about?” Kenneth was unhappy and wondered when Kayden could stop being so noisy..
“Remember to pay for the medicinal materials.”
Kayden felt that Kenneth was cold and ruthless.
“Kenneth, please don’t do this. | just woke up and | have no money!” No one could take Kayden’s money away from him. Money was more important than his life.
“Then we won't continue the treatment. Dr. Quirke, consider these two plants as my token of appreciation,” Kenneth said. Chapter 29
It was not Kenneth who was bedridden at the moment, so he did not bother.
“Don't! I’m just joking. Money is not an issue. How much is it?” Kayden, who was lying. on the bed, said generously.
How could he not cure his legs?
“Not much. Two plants for 600 million dollars.”
Kayden was shocked. ‘Aren't they too expensive?” he thought.
Cassandra believed that the two plants were excessively expensive.
This made her feel a bit guilty about accepting the plants.
“In addition to treating his legs, you can come to me if you need anything in the future. | will promise you one more request,” she said.
After all, she felt insecure about possessing such expensive plants.
“Dr. Quirke, | paid for this. Shouldn't you also promise me a request?” Kayden looked at Faye flatteringly.
He thought Faye would agree.
He paid for the plants, after all.
“Yes, | understand. You'd prefer a gentler touch during acupuncture. No need to worry. You won't feel any pain in the future.” Cassandra gave Kayden a knowing look, leaving him puzzled.
Who wants this favor? Kayden roared inwardly.
Kenneth chuckled softly. Cassandra glanced over and noticed that Kenneth’s flawless face seemed even more handsome and gentle..
“Hugo, in ten minutes, you can remove the needles for Mr. Yates. You don’t need to oversee the medicinal bath. They can handle it themselves.”
The implication was that Cassandra wouldn't do the procedure herself.
Then Cassandra closed her eyes to rest, cradling the two grasses in glass bottles like precious treasures.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
After removing the needles and returning to Whitecrane Hall, Cassandra dove headlong into the laboratory.
She finally had the medicinal materials to proceed to the next step of the experiment.

She was quite generous with the medicinal materials she had acquired for free.
Cassandra set aside a portion for Kayden and dedicated the rest of the plants to experiments.
On Monday, in school, the radio station was turned on during morning classes,

First was the apology statement from Edward. In his apology, he mentioned that he was unaware of the bullying. This highlighted the unfortunate reality of education. As a principal, he failed to comprehend the students’ struggles and even condoned students’ bullying toward their classmates.
Then, the students of Honors Class One apologized on the radio station, one by one. After reading their apology statement, each student would return to the classroom and apologize separately to Cassandra again.
These two days, they were being lectured by their parents at home.
At first, they were still quite rebellious and thought they did nothing wrong. But slowly, they realized their parents were right.

No matter the reason, as long as Cassandra did not bully or insult them, they had not right to take actions against her. Even if Yulissa were the victim, as she claimed, only she could avenge herself.
It wasn’t right for them to bully Cassandra while Yulissa merely stood by and watched.
Just as their parents said, in the ten-minute video, although Yulissa did not do anything. they began to bully Cassandra under her encouragement.
On the contrary, Cassandra did nothing from the start.
Christine, in particular, had received a stern talk from her parents after she went home. Apologizing at school today was challenging for her.
Right after apologizing, she was promptly pulled out of the classroom by her mother. Her mother assured Cassandra she would ensure Christine never crossed paths with her again.
Christine’s mother kept her word. Nothing was more important than the future of her child.
“Cassandra, I’m sorry. We won't do this again.”
Many were aware of their problems and sincerely apologized to Cassandra.
This made Yulissa a little nervous.
#39:70% ER
Everyone was apologizing. She was at a loss for what to do.
Apologizing to Cassandra was an impossible task for Yulissa. She wouldn’t do it unless her life was threatened.
Cassandra nodded to each classmate, signifying her forgiveness.
She did not spare a glance at Yulissa all along.
“Cassandra, it's good that you forgive everyone. | have been worried about this.”
Yulissa started to play the sympathy card again, making everyone believe it was entirely her effort and that she had convinced Cassandra to agree to the mediation.
In other words, she should be the one others should thank for.
“| forgive them because their parents have vouched for them. It has nothing to do with you.”
