Chapter 2970
The First Heir
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 Laylaâs condition, and stroked her hair. Then, he got up, walked out of
the room, and bowed to Dr. Hoff.
He said, âDr. Hoff, how is my friend doing?â
The old man in front of him was talking to Claus. Seeing Philip, he smiled and said, âYoung Patriarch
Clarke, donât worry. Your friend is out of danger now. Thereâs nothing serious, butâ¦â
âBut what?â Philip asked.
Dr. Hoff shook his head and said, âShe seems to have a condition that I canât figure out. Iâve practiced
medicine for decades, but Iâve never seen such a condition before.â
âWhat condition?â Philip asked nervously.
Dr. Hoff said, âIâm sorry, but I canât 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 friendâs body. Itâs my
first time seeing such a strange disease.â
Hearing that, Philip frowned and asked, âWhatâs bad about it, then?â
Dr. Hoff stroked his white beard and said with a sigh, âThe 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, sheâll freeze to death.â
Hearing that, Philip frowned. This condition was very strange.
âDr. Hoff, is there any way to treat it?â Philip asked.
Dr. Hoff shook his head and said, âThis is the first time Iâve seen this condition in my life, and I donât
have any treatment method. But please rest assured that Iâll do my best to find a cure.â
Philip bowed slightly to Dr. Hoff and said, âThank you, Dr. Hoffâ¦â
Soon, Dr. Hoff left. Philip returned to the room again and glanced at Layla lying on the bed.
Her breathing was weak, and her face was pale, but it was difficult to conceal her vibrant demeanor.
After sitting for a while, Philip left the room and sat with Fennel in the garden.
âHowâs Lord Ludo?â Fennel asked.
Philip answered, âSheâs okay for the time being. She just needs restâ¦â
The others nodded and Fennel said, âI just came back from outside. There are rumors that youâve
obtained the secret treasure of the ancient sage. Many people are already gathered outside the door,
claiming that the ancient sageâs secret treasure belongs to the world. They want you to take out the
secret treasure and show it to everyone.â
âHmph! 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?â 17 huffed and said indignantly.
