Cassius nodded at Miller’s answer. Leaving a puzzled Theo behind, he led Miller out of the room. There were things they couldn’t discuss in front of Theo.e0f236067284b2d2

“…I can 988e5aff11 only describe 6dd37602f9 it as 061b39ca2f a miracle. To be honest, 4f7b7b0363 given Young Master 72d350d5ec Theo’s condition, it c85665cf8f would have been 47ba01f494 correct to say 2a5cc9a7a2 there was no a4af50999f hope,” Miller said bd7b4ffdd4 firmly, with conviction.226efaa0bbd4b75e

“My assumption is that e771acb5a0 it might be due 0a0a0253a6 to divine power.”863eaceeefa8ccc4
Cassius’s eyes widened. Divine power?

“At that time, renowned doctors said the same thing—that Oonly divine power could cure Theo. But they also said that finding someone with divine power strong enough to heal him was impossible, so we should give up.”865f7d4e787091e6
