Chapter 286

Nikolai hadn't arrived yet, but he'd already given the heads up to the folks at the holistic heating center, so

Collins and Leo found themselves ushered into the lounge to wait

Collins fidgeted in his chair, casting anxious glances toward the door every few seconds. Ever since his last

hospital visit, he’d done his homework on this Nikolai character. It turned out that the guy was even more of a

big deal than his friends had let on.

A scion of a holistic healing dynasty that stretched back a century, Nikolai was renowned for his almost

supernatural diagnostic skills. There were a few allments he couldn't unravel. But a master of his standing rarely

made house calls anymore, and snagging an appointment him was like finding a four-leaf clover.

When Collins had reached out to Nikolai earlier, he wasn’t sure what to expect. However, the healer had agreed

to see them without any fuss.

Collins turned to Leo, reiterating his earlier advice, “Leo, remember to mind your manners, “okay? It’s a real

stroke of luck to have a holistic healing guru like him take a look at you.”

Leo’s face was partially obscured by a mask, and he mumbled an indistinct acknowledgment.

At three on the dot, Nikolai finally made his entrance. An apprentice beckoned Collins and Leo into Nikolai’s

private consultation room.

As the door closed behind them, Collins nodded respectfully at Nikolai before gesturing toward Leo. “Nikolai, this

here’s my buddy.”

He hesitated before adding, “My friend, uh, he can’t really take off his mask...”

Nikolai waved a dismissive hand. “No worries, let's have a seat first.”

Once Leo was seated at the examination table, Collins set down the stack of papers he'd been carrying. “These

are all my buddy's medical records from overseas.”

Nikolai slipped on his glasses and began perusing the documents. After a few minutes, he set. them aside.

Without any preamble, he motioned for Leo to extend his hand. After feeling Leo's pulse, Nikolai withdrew his

hand, a slight frown on his face. “Your pulse is peculiar. You've been poisoned recently, haven't you?”

Collins paused, then said, “My friend hurt his bones a few months back. The docs said it was. nothing serious,

but then they found severe spinal nerve damage. As for poison... well, they didn’t catch that.”

Nikolai stroked his graying beard, pondering briefly. “Like | told you last time, spoisons don’t show up in the

early blood tests.”

Scratching his head, Collins asked, “So, you believe that poisoning caused his condition? If we treat the poison,

he’ll make a full recovery?”

Nikolai peered at Collins skeptically. “The poison has already been treated.”

“Already treated? I'm not following.” Collins said, baffled.

“If I'm not mistaken, the poison was neutralized quite recently, right?” Nikolai’s gaze settled on Leo. His tone was

questioning, but his words were confident.

Leo blinked, his mind racing back to the concoction Mirabella had insisted he drink that

morning.

Collins, catching on, ventured, “Could it be the medicine he was prescribed last time? He's been taking it

regularly.”

He remembered Nikolai mentioning that the medicine was meant to detoxify and repair damaged nerves.

Nikolai’s expression softened as he recalled Collins’ earlier ignorance. With a deep breath, he avoided looking at

Collins, his voice carrying a hint of gravity. “If he’s been taking the medication consistently, then yes, that would

explain it.”
