Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 398

Miranda arched an eyebrow.

"Alright, we'll start the treatment tomorrow."

When she took on this case, she only received an initial payment of three million dollars upfront.

Even though she had a good relationship with them, treating illnesses was a labor-intensive job, and she naturally needed to charge for it.

She always said that her healing services required compensation.

Otherwise, for healers like her, it could actually affect their luck and longevity.

As for how much compensation, it depended on the effort she had to put in and the wealth of the client.

A human life, especially for someone from a wealthy family, could trigger significant changes in the world.

So, for the wealthy, her fees were often higher.

The greater the potential impact, the more she would charge.

This time, the treatment plan for Susie required significant effort on her part.

She would need to increase the fee accordingly.

Seeing Sebastian's straightforwardness, she decided to start Susie's treatment the very next day.

"The first phase of treatment will take about three days. After that, we'll observe for a while before moving on to the second phase," she explained. "The follow-up period depends on her condition."

Sebastian nodded, then remembered something. "You mentioned before that there might be something special about my and my sister's bodies, which is why Susie survived the curse, and I can touch her."

Miranda glanced at the blood sample in the test tube, which seemed to contain something she had added.

The blood was undergoing a subtle transformation, not visible to the naked eye.

But to Miranda, its changes were apparent.

"Indeed, you and your sister have something in your bodies that can suppress this curse, something like an antibody in modern medical terms. But this can't be detected with current medical technology because it's more like an energy," Miranda explained slowly.

"This kind of thing isn't common in humans," she continued. "You and your sister are quite lucky since it doesn't run in families. It's more like a genetic mutation."

"So, can you help me?" Sebastian asked, his gaze pleading.

"I didn't find anything unusual in the surveillance footage. Everyone there was from the Everhart family that day, both elders and younger members, at least fifty people. Many interacted with Susie, making it hard to pinpoint a suspect."

Miranda frowned.

"They're all family members with significant influence and stakes in Everhart family businesses," Sebastian explained. "Without evidence, I can't investigate them directly."

Miranda responded coolly, "I'm just here to treat the illness."

She wasn’t keen on getting involved in family feuds. What she wanted to know was the source of the curse and to confirm if it was what she suspected.

As for the perpetrator, it was likely someone who had obtained the curse from a practitioner and used it against Susie through some medium.

Finding the culprit wasn't her priority.

If the curse caster was indeed a member of the Crow organization, she had other ways to confront them.

So she had no intention of helping Sebastian find the culprit; it was his problem to solve.
