In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Two-year-old Adroson's future appearance is already quite predictable; he's absolutely stunning, with short, wine-red hair, clear black eyes, and happily gripping the swing ropes, laughing in his sweet, childlike voice.

Spending time with your children is always the best gift parents can give them, and both Anno and Halle are aware of this.

Anno knew nothing about her past, but she vaguely felt that she must have been very lonely when she was a child. As for Harley, only her mother was in her life when she was a child, and her father, Baron Orvis, was always busy.

So, to avoid certain situations, Anno and Harley would set aside some time each day to spend with Adroson.

At that moment, a carriage stopped in front of the courtyard of the Anno residence.

Anno glanced at the carriage and kissed Adroson: "Adroson, I'm going there."

“Yes, Father.” Adroson could already speak a few words, his voice halting and childish, and his eyes looked timidly at the carriage.

Anno nodded to Harley and walked towards the gate of the yard.

The carriage door opened, and an anxious man stepped out.

The man was about thirty years old and looked flustered.

Anno recognized the man; he was Lorenzo's brother, Giulias de' Medici.

"Hello, my old friend Lawrence." Julius forced a smile and extended his hand.

"Long time no see, Julius." Anno and Julius had met quite a few times and could be considered friends. "What's up? Please come in and have a seat."

“No, Lawrence.” Julius’s eyes were filled with anxiety. “I’ve come today to… ask you for a favor.”

Anno nodded, noticing Julius's panic: "Tell me first."

"I learned from Lorenzo that you became a doctor through self-study. But don't worry, I have a very good attitude towards doctors."

“It’s like this… my wife, my wife Simonetta, she’s sick.” Julius looked like he was about to cry. “I don’t know why, but lately she’s been coughing up blood. I took her to church for baptism a couple of days ago, but her symptoms have only worsened. Lawrence, I just want you to help me, please help me…”

Julius was a playboy back then, but now it's clear he loves his wife very much.

Anno frowned: "Let me talk to my wife."

"Thank you, thank you," Julius said, tears streaming down his face.

Anno walked back to Harley's side and told her about Julius's situation.

Harley was both surprised and saddened. She and Simonetta were afternoon tea friends who met occasionally and had a fairly good relationship. She said to Anno, "Go and help her. This is my request, darling."

"I understand." Anuo smiled gently at his wife and children, then turned and went into the house.

When he came out again, he was carrying a white cloth bag.

He said to Julius, "Let's go, Mr. Julius."

"Mmm." Julius quickly climbed into the carriage.

Anno nodded to Harley in the yard and then climbed into the carriage.

"Mother, is Father going to rescue someone?" Adroson looked up at Harley with his big, bright eyes.

Harley picked Adroson up and said, "Your father just went out on some business and will be back soon."

"Uh-huh!"

......

The carriage traveled quickly and soon arrived at Julius's residence.

Julius assisted his brother in ruling the city, and naturally his residence was also very luxurious.

Anno followed the anxious Julius into the mansion, where they could hear violent coughing from afar.

Anno frowned.

This coughing sound...

It happened too frequently and the sound was very loud; you could tell they were coughing very forcefully.

"Take me to see a doctor quickly. Judging from the coughing sound, it seems quite serious," Anno urged.

"Yes, thank you, Lawrence."

Chapter 214 A Doomed Medical Visit

Anno took a strip of cloth from her small cloth bag and wrapped it around her face.

Then he went into Simonetta's bedroom.

Simonetta looked even more beautiful when she was sick, as delicate as a wildflower growing on the edge of a cliff, about to fall if the foundation collapsed.

At this very moment, Simonetta's foundation (his body) is already on the path to collapse.

Two servants stood to one side, handing Simonetta a bandage.

Simonetta's coughing was still loud. Seeing Julius approaching, her eyes filled with tears, she struggled to sit up: "Darling cough cough cough!!! My love cough cough cough!!!"

Simonetta can barely speak a few words now, and she's coughing violently, with blood clearly visible coming out of her mouth as she coughs.

"Is there any warm water?" Anno asked the servant to himself.

The servant looked at Anno, who had covered his face, and then at Julius, somewhat at a loss.

"Do as he says," Julius was almost frantic.

"Understood, sir." The servant nodded. "There is warm water."

“Come to the endpoint.”

The servant went to fetch water, and Anno placed his hand on Simonetta's forehead and smacked his lips.

It's too hot, judging from this situation...

“Mr. Julius, could you please give me a detailed description of Mrs. Simonetta’s condition?” Anno was unsure of himself. He had only ever seen this disease, accompanied by massive coughing up of blood, in the manuscripts of university professors, and no one had yet been able to cure it.

But Anno has to find out.

"Okay, okay." Julius nodded quickly and began to explain.

Simonetta has always had a cough, but it only became serious around the time of the wedding.

After that, the symptoms began to worsen, starting with a cough, then fever, dizziness, and then coughing up blood. At this point, the couple realized that something was wrong.

Julius quickly took Simonetta to the church and asked Father Anasaro to baptize Simonetta, praying for her health and peace.

But the baptism had no effect whatsoever; in fact, Simonetta's condition worsened.

Father Anasaro said this: "Julius, my friend, I know this news will be hard for you to accept, but Simonetta's beauty is something even God would envy."

His implication was that Simonetta had been envied by the heavens.

Julius, who was deeply in love with Simonetta, almost slapped Father Anasaro across the face.

But he couldn't do that; Father Anasaro was the face of the divine authority in Florence.

Desperate, Julius began searching for doctors in Florence, but they all turned him down as soon as they heard that he needed to treat the magistrate's wife, and that she was seriously ill.

Finally, Julius remembered that Lorenzo had mentioned that one of his retainers had taught himself medicine, which was how he found Anno.

Simonetta is currently coughing up blood, with blood coming out with every cough, and has a high fever, difficulty breathing, and chest pain.

Furthermore, according to Julius's description, Simonetta would sweat profusely after falling asleep during this time of year when the weather began to turn cold.

Anno frowned, his eyes darting around.

He had seen a loosely documented case of this symptom in a manuscript.

Unfortunately, the patient apparently did not last long and passed away soon, which prevented more information from being recorded.

Anno took the bowl of warm water brought by the servant: "Madam, please drink this water first."

Simonetta coughed and nodded. A servant helped her sit up, and she slowly drank some water.

Anno gestured to Julius, indicating that he should go outside to talk.

The two men went outside, and Julius asked anxiously, "Mr. Lawrence, my wife...?"

Anno sighed, "Mr. Julius, I've only heard of one other case like Mrs. Simonetta's... To be frank, your wife's condition is extremely dangerous, but I..."

Julia panicked immediately: "But, but..."

“Listen to me, Mr. Julius.” Anno looked at the flustered man, his mood also somewhat downcast.

It's both a sorrow for the life that's about to end and a lament that I'm not quite a genius.

Perhaps I should have realized long ago that I couldn't be omnipotent.

"Let me write down your wife's condition first, and then I will go to several surrounding cities to find university professors to discuss Mrs. Simonetta's illness."

"This is the only way out; this disease... is not something I can solve."

"In the meantime, sir, do as I say."

Julius could only nod helplessly, "Please speak." He was at his wit's end.

"Stop the baptism. Contact with cold water will worsen the fever. Keep the doors and windows open during the day, cover the lady with a blanket, and let her get fresh air while maintaining the temperature. Drink plenty of hot water, and make sure to drink plenty of hot water. Also, the blood that has been drawn out should be removed as soon as possible."

"Also, do not eat aquatic animals, do not eat chili peppers, and try to give your wife only porridge, without sugar."

Anno sighed: "If we do that... I can't save Madam, but it should extend her life by a few days."

Julius nodded quickly: "Yes, I understand, thank you Lawrence."

Anno touched his forehead and shook his head: "It's just a drop in the ocean. I'll be upfront about this: Mrs. Simonetta... she could... at any time... I hope you're prepared. She's really very ill."

Julius, the former playboy, stared silently at the floor, then suddenly covered his face and wept bitterly.

Anno sighed, took out paper and pen from his cloth bag, and began to record Mrs. Simonetta's situation.

Later, Anno walked out of Julius’s mansion and bumped into Lorenzo.

Lorenzo looked grief-stricken.

Although he was a loser, he did love this woman.

"How is Simonetta...?" His voice was low and dejected, his eyes lifeless.

Anno fell silent, and after hesitating, shook his head.

"I need to discuss this with other people."
