You don't even want to call me godfather

Destiny's gaze shifted from Koshe to the medicine box in his hand. She suddenly showed some resistance and leaned back.

Koshe walked up to Destiny and sat down beside the bed, but Destiny wrapped the quilt more tightly.

"It's time to apply the medicine, Destiny," Koshe opened the box and took out a syringe and a small glass bottle. "Be obedient. Now is not the time to be upset."

"Well……"

Destiny looked at Koshei aggrievedly. She hesitated for a long time before stretching out an arm from under the quilt. Her arm was already covered with large and small Originium crystals, which looked even more hideous than a week ago.

Koshe broke off the head of the small glass bottle, inserted the needle into the bottle, and drew out all the potion.

"Bear with it, it will hurt a little." Koshe flicked the needle to expel the air from it. When the first drop of liquid seeped out, he gently held Destiny's wrist. "If it hurts, you can scream."

The needle was getting closer and closer to Destiny's skin. She pulled the quilt to cover her face and didn't dare to look.

The needle pierced the skin, and Destiny's arm suddenly tensed up. She began to struggle, trying to retract her arm and break free from Koshe.

"Hey! Hey! Calm down," Koshei held Destiny's wrist tightly and kept comforting her, "It will be fine soon. It only takes a few seconds."

He quickly injected the medicine into Destiny's vein, pulled out the needle, picked up a piece of alcohol cotton from the box, tore it open, and pressed it on the tiny needle hole.

"It's okay, it's okay now, Destiny." Koshe's hand that was holding her wrist gradually loosened, and Destiny slowly stopped struggling. "Trust me, this will make you feel better."

Koshe's hand moved down Destiny's wrist and gently grasped her clenched fist.

Under Koshe's gentle comfort, Destiny's fists gradually stretched out. She revealed her eyes that were blocked by the quilt and looked at him with a complicated look.

Koshe sighed, took Destiny's other hand that was pulling the quilt, and pressed her hand on the alcohol cotton.

"I'll go make you something to eat. You can get used to the effects of the medicine first."

Having said this, Koshe stood up.

Just as he was about to leave, his clothes were grabbed. Turning around, he saw Destiny grabbing his clothes, helplessness written in his eyes.

“Don’t… don’t leave…”

Destiny pleaded, her helpless posture was so heartbreaking to see.

"I won't leave, Destiny, I won't leave," Koshe stepped back to the bed. He lifted the quilt covering Destiny's head, ruffled her hair lovingly, and stroked her ears with his fingers. "We are a family, and we will always be, but you haven't eaten properly for a long time these days. You must eat something, understand?"

Destiny listened to Koshe's words for a long time before she reluctantly let go of his hand.

Koshe put away the used syringes and glass bottles, walked to the door of the room, opened it, and walked out.

Before closing the door, he glanced inside the room. Destiny had hidden himself under the quilt again, and he suddenly felt a sense of insecurity.

Koshei went downstairs and walked into the kitchen.

He threw the medicine box on the table and took out bread, cheese, tomatoes and eggs from the refrigerator.

He sliced ​​the tomatoes, beat the eggs in a pan and fried them for a while, then sandwiched them and the cheese slices between the bread slices, squeezed some ketchup, put the sandwich into the sandwich maker and started heating it.

While the medicine was heating up, he sat at the table and his eyes fell on the medicine box.

He reached out and took the medicine box, carefully observing the logo on the box.

"RHODES ISLAND," Koshei's fingertips ran over the words on the logo and he muttered to himself, "Rhodes Island...Pharmaceutical Company...?"

After Destiny's return, Koshe began looking for a cure for oripathy.

But he searched all of Syracuse and all of his family's properties, but he couldn't find any medicine to cure his mineralogy.

Seeing that Destiny's infection level was getting worse day by day, Koshe was extremely anxious. At the same time, he also had to deal with government matters. It could be said that everything had become a mess.

At this moment, Joseph reminded him that the family often had some industrial transactions with the outside world of Syracuse, and even their firearms were smuggled from the neighboring country of Lateran, of course, without being discovered by the Papal Council of Lateran.

Therefore, Koshei began to investigate the recent pharmaceutical companies outside Syracuse. Within two days, he actually discovered something.

Rhode Island, a pharmaceutical company claiming to cure mineralogy. Although Koshe had never heard of the company's name, he still wanted to give it a try.

After all, there are very few forces in this world that dare to claim that they can cure oripathy. Even the Rhine Life Laboratory in Colombia, which is several countries west of Syracuse, does not dare to claim that it has the means to cure oripathy.

Jose made initial contact with Rhodes Island on behalf of Koshe, and exchanged considerable funds for some drugs that claimed to be able to temporarily suppress oripathy.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Koshe gave Destiny the first injection. The drug took effect quickly, and the growth of the Originium crystals on Destiny's body surface decreased significantly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But it didn't last long. A few hours later, Destiny fell ill again, and it was as if all the growth that had been suppressed before was released in one breath, making Destiny excruciatingly painful.

Koshe was distressed, but he could do nothing. He could only stay by Destiny's side and comfort her with words.

Sometimes, Destiny would refuse to let him get close to her, saying that she was too seriously infected and was afraid of infecting Koshe.

At this time, he could only watch his sister endure the pain of backlash. He had no choice but to plan a fixed time every day to continuously give Destiny medicine to forcibly suppress her mineralogy until a better way could be found.

But he also knew that this was not a long-term solution. He could never be sure that one day, Rhodes Island, which provided them with drugs, would cancel its cooperation with them for some reason.

If that happened, and Destiny stopped taking the medicine, she would surely die.

"Ding!"

The sound of the sandwich maker finishing toasting pulled Koshei out of his thoughts.

Absentmindedly he removed the sandwich, placed it on a clean plate, and cut it in half diagonally.

Perhaps he should find some time to have a good chat with the leader of "Rhode Island".

Looking at the fruit knife in his hand, Koshe thought so.

Chapter 55: Government Informant

She didn't know why things turned out like this.

It was as if fate happened naturally, and she had to accept it all, even though this unpredictable and repeated pain was inflicted on her.

When she first woke up, she didn't understand her current situation and couldn't wait to return to the city from the woods and to her brother.

But when the mercenaries remained silent, and when the blood demon girl named Speranzha kept apologizing to her, she finally understood.

"Ah, that's true."

Ever since she returned to her brother's side, she always couldn't sleep all night, feeling the sharp edges of the Originium crystals growing from her body.

Will she die with wounds all over her body?

Will people hate you?

She had tried to forcibly peel the Originium crystals from her body more than once, and she never stopped even though her body and nails were covered in blood.

She felt like she was going crazy. Every night she could hear the sound of Originium flowing and growing in her blood. She could only feel at ease when her brother heard her cries and rushed to her side to accompany her.

The thing that made her most grateful was that her brother did not distance himself from her.

But at the same time, her brother's meticulous care for her also made her feel ridiculous and sad about her own self-abandonment.

Why on earth was she unwilling to get out of bed and face the facts even though she knew she was avoiding reality?

The wind blew, bringing with it flakes of snow.

The window that was not closed tightly was blown open, and some snowflakes were blown into the room by the cold wind, but Destiny just wrapped himself in the quilt slightly and did not make any other moves.

The door of the room was pushed open and Koshe entered the room carrying a plate with sandwiches.

He put the plate down on the bedside desk, walked to the bed, closed the window and locked it.

"It's snowing."

Koshe said this.

He vaguely remembered that a few days ago, when he was chatting with the man named Chaos at the door of the bar, he said that it was going to snow soon.

But until today, the first snow of the year has just fallen, and so much has already happened.

"Eat something, Destiny," he said with concern, sitting down on the bed and picking up a sandwich from the plate, "You need some energy."

"..." Destiny didn't say anything. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Replenish energy...for the growth of Originium?"

After saying this, Destiny regretted it, and similarly, Koshe's expression froze for a moment.

But then he put down the sandwich in his hand and continued to persuade, "Be obedient, Destiny, or your body will not be able to bear it first."

"...Brother, will you...dislike me?"

Destiny asked, her head lowered, her ears drooped.

"If I even dislike my own sister, then I am not even a man." Koshe smiled at Destiny's silly look. He reached out his hand to touch her head. "Don't think so much. No matter what you become, you are still my sister."

Seeing Koshe's hand reaching out to her, Destiny subconsciously dodged for a moment, but she immediately relaxed her body and enjoyed Koshe's touch.

Koshe rubbed her mind for a while, then suddenly stopped.

His expression was a little unnatural, then he withdrew his hand and stood up.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Destiny looked like he wasn't enjoying himself enough, so he raised his head and asked.

"No, it's okay," Koshe said, looking at the door beside him thoughtfully, "I may have to go out for a while. I've put the food on the desk for you. Remember to eat it yourself."

Destiny knew something must have happened, so she didn't try to stop him.

Koshe walked out of the room, closed the door gently, and leaned against it.

"What happened, Red?"

He asked, looking at the blood-covered Hong in front of him.

"Red, we were ambushed."

"Are you injured?"

"No," Red shook his head and replied, "The blood belongs to the target. Red and the other wolf hunters were not injured, but one of the targets escaped."

"Just a goal, nothing more."

"That man, he had a weapon, and he had a child with him," Hong shook his head again and said, "Hong smelled the scent of that child."

"Did they take a hostage?" Koshe frowned and thought, "I know. I'll find a way. Hong, go and rest first. You can sleep on my bed."

"What about Koshei?"

Hong asked, opening her big eyes.

"I'll go find Jose. Someone on his side should know something." Koshei rubbed Hong's head, ignoring the blood on her body, and said, "Go ahead, and remember to take a shower."

"Red, got it."

Koshe went downstairs, took the dagger given by Dana and the new pistol, and left the mansion.

As he left the mansion, he spotted a figure pacing with his back to the door.

"Mrs. Helen?"

Looking at this familiar figure, Koshe called out.

"Koshe..." Mrs. Helen turned around, her face full of anxiety, "I know your sister needs your care, but do you have time now?"

"Yes, Mrs. Helen, go ahead."

Koshe put the gun into his inner pocket and said.

"It's about my child..."

"what happened?"

"Liya is missing," Mrs. Helen said. "This morning when I went out to look for the children, I found Mikhail fainted on the lawn not far away, and Leah was gone. I sent Mikhail to the hospital, but I haven't found Leah yet."

"Liya..." Koshe thought of what Hong had just said. The person who escaped had a child with him. He had a bad feeling in his heart, "Where's Loft? He is the cadre in charge of this area. Is there any news?"

"No, no..." Mrs. Helen said, "He has searched everywhere nearby, but there is no news about Leah. Even the family's followers have no news. He and I are so anxious now, so we thought of asking you for help."

"Okay, I understand," Koshe thought for a moment and had a rough idea in his mind. He said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Helen, leave this matter to me. I will help you find Leah's child."

"I'm so sorry to bother you, and thank you so much for your willingness to help, Godfather."

Mrs. Helen clasped her hands in front of her, bowed slightly to Koshei and expressed her gratitude.

After watching Mrs. Helen go back, Koshe took out his cell phone from his pocket and found someone in the address book.

At present, it can be confirmed that the person who escaped was probably holding Mrs. Helen's daughter, Leah, but Koshe didn't know what the other party's purpose was.
