Philip quickly rushed to the room. Layla lay on the bed, her face pale. Her breathing was still very weak. He walked over, looked at Layla’s condition, and stroked her hair. Then, he got up, walked out of the room, and bowed to Dr. Hoff.
He said, “Dr. Hoff, how is my friend doing?”
The old man in front of him was talking to Claus. Seeing Philip, he smiled and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, don’t worry. Your friend is out of danger now. There’s nothing serious, but…”
“But what?” Philip asked.
Dr. Hoff shook his head and said, “She seems to have a condition that I can’t figure out. I’ve practiced medicine for decades, but I’ve never seen such a condition before.”
“What condition?” Philip asked nervously.
Dr. Hoff said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t tell. However, this condition can be both good and bad for your friend. The existence of this condition offsets the dead energy that ravages your friend’s body. It’s my first time seeing such a strange disease.”
Hearing that, Philip frowned and asked, “What’s bad about it, then?”
Dr. Hoff stroked his white beard and said with a sigh, “The downside is that your friend will feel cold all over her body every night of the full moon. If there are no special drugs and hot objects to resist the chills from her body, she’ll freeze to death.”
Hearing that, Philip frowned. This condition was very strange.
“How’s Lord Ludo?” Fennel asked.
Philip answered, “She’s okay for the time being. She just needs rest…”
The others nodded and Fennel said, “I just came back from outside. There are rumors that you’ve obtained the secret treasure of the ancient sage. Many people are already gathered outside the door, claiming that the ancient sage’s secret treasure belongs to the world. They want you to take out the secret treasure and show it to everyone.”
“Hmph! They must be dreaming! My young patriarch was the one who got hold of the secret treasure. What right do they have to look at it?” 17 huffed and said indignantly.
