“You just said your buddy took a hit to the spine, right? Well, that’s spot on. This Crimson Sage stuff not only puts
the brakes on toxins but also patches up nerve damage. Sounds like just the ticket for his condition.”
Nikolai’s words cswiftly, a soothing balm to anxious ears. Collins, hearing this, felt a wave of relief wash
over him.
“still, I'd strongly suggest your friend gets a thorough blood workup done. Sof those sneaky toxins don’t
show their ugly heads right off the bat,” Nikolai mentioned casually.
A remedy as rare and targeted as this wasn’t something you’d dole out to just any Tom, Dick, or Harry with a
boo-boo, now was it? Sthings you could just sniff out.
Collins’ expression grew earnest, and after a moment's contemplation, he offered Nikolai a respectful nod.
“Could | possibly trouble you to take a look at my friend another day? Rest

Even though Nick was a whiz with nerves, he hadn't spotted any extra issues. Nikolai’s words carried a weight
that demanded attention. After all, alternative medicine was played by a different set of rules than conventional
medicine. What if Nikolai could work smagic on
Leo?
Nikolai gave Collins a measured look before his gaze drifted back to the pill, neatly sealed in its transparent
plastic sanctuary, his mind wheeling with thoughts, “I don’t see an issue with taking a look, but | do have a small
favor to ask in return.”
Collins was quick on the uptake and didn’t miss a beat. “Much obliged, Nikolai. I'll ask my friend's sister about
the origins of this remedy right away.”
With a polite nod, Nikolai’s eyes sparkled with a hint of anticipation.
Without Mirabella’s contact details. Collins had no choice but to ring up Leo. The call connected swiftly, and
Collins relayed the situation in a nutshell.
“I'll ask her,” was Leo's terse reply from the other end.
Collins ended the call, his mind wandering back to the earlier hospital encounter with Mirabella. If only he'd

Gazing thoughtfully out the window, Mirabella pieced things together quickly against the backdrop of her earlier
run-in with Leo’s agent, “A friend shared it with me, but his remedies aren't usually up for sale.”
Leo, caught off-guard by her response, didn’t press further. “Ah, okay. When are you getting home?”
“About fifteen minutes,” cMirabella’s reply.
“Alright, stay safe.”
After hanging up, Leo wasted no trelaying his sister's words to Collins, unfiltered and precise.
Nikolai fell silent upon hearing this, his expression a mix of regret and understanding. After a moment, he
handed the precious Crimson Sage back to Collins. The exchange was tinged with reluctance, even a touch of
heartache, which made Collins hesitate to reach out. Yet, thinking of the medicine’s supposed rarity and
potential benefit for Leo, any thought of offering it back to Nikolai was quickly squashed.
After a brief inner battle, Collins‘ decision crystallized within a heartbeat, and without further ado, he pocketed
the pill. A revered alternative medicine guru like Nikolai surely wouldn't miss one little capsule anyway.
