“You just said your buddy took a hit to the spine, right? Well, that’s spot on. This Crimson Sage stuff not only puts

the brakes on toxins but also patches up nerve damage. Sounds like just the ticket for his condition.”

Nikolai’s words cswiftly, a soothing balm to anxious ears. Collins, hearing this, felt a wave of relief wash

over him.

“still, I'd strongly suggest your friend gets a thorough blood workup done. Sof those sneaky toxins don’t

show their ugly heads right off the bat,” Nikolai mentioned casually.

A remedy as rare and targeted as this wasn’t something you’d dole out to just any Tom, Dick, or Harry with a

boo-boo, now was it? Sthings you could just sniff out.

Collins’ expression grew earnest, and after a moment's contemplation, he offered Nikolai a respectful nod.

“Could | possibly trouble you to take a look at my friend another day? Rest

Even though Nick was a whiz with nerves, he hadn't spotted any extra issues. Nikolai’s words carried a weight

that demanded attention. After all, alternative medicine was played by a different set of rules than conventional

medicine. What if Nikolai could work smagic on

Leo?

Nikolai gave Collins a measured look before his gaze drifted back to the pill, neatly sealed in its transparent

plastic sanctuary, his mind wheeling with thoughts, “I don’t see an issue with taking a look, but | do have a small

favor to ask in return.”

Collins was quick on the uptake and didn’t miss a beat. “Much obliged, Nikolai. I'll ask my friend's sister about

the origins of this remedy right away.”

With a polite nod, Nikolai’s eyes sparkled with a hint of anticipation.

Without Mirabella’s contact details. Collins had no choice but to ring up Leo. The call connected swiftly, and

Collins relayed the situation in a nutshell.

“I'll ask her,” was Leo's terse reply from the other end.

Collins ended the call, his mind wandering back to the earlier hospital encounter with Mirabella. If only he'd

brought her along...

By the tLeo reached out to Mirabella, she was already ensconced in the back of a cab. With earbuds in place,

she pressed the answer button. “Hey, Leo.”

“So, | was wondering where you got that medicine you gave me. It seems to be working wonders.”

Leo kept mum about Collins’ call. No need to stir the pot - if Mirabella got wind of Collins taking her remedy to a

doctor, it might ruffle her feathers.

Gazing thoughtfully out the window, Mirabella pieced things together quickly against the backdrop of her earlier

run-in with Leo’s agent, “A friend shared it with me, but his remedies aren't usually up for sale.”

Leo, caught off-guard by her response, didn’t press further. “Ah, okay. When are you getting home?”

“About fifteen minutes,” cMirabella’s reply.

“Alright, stay safe.”

After hanging up, Leo wasted no trelaying his sister's words to Collins, unfiltered and precise.

Nikolai fell silent upon hearing this, his expression a mix of regret and understanding. After a moment, he

handed the precious Crimson Sage back to Collins. The exchange was tinged with reluctance, even a touch of

heartache, which made Collins hesitate to reach out. Yet, thinking of the medicine’s supposed rarity and

potential benefit for Leo, any thought of offering it back to Nikolai was quickly squashed.

After a brief inner battle, Collins‘ decision crystallized within a heartbeat, and without further ado, he pocketed

the pill. A revered alternative medicine guru like Nikolai surely wouldn't miss one little capsule anyway.
