Chapter 308

Brandon answered right away, "How could that be possible? Xander, are you out of your mind? It was Phantom Poison, and you say they've been bedridden for how long? You're overestimating me. I bet only two people in the world could cure it. "If you talk nonsense like this again, don't blame me for blacklisting you.

The sound of the call ending left Xena utterly stunned.

"Now, do you

believe me?" Xander asked.

Xander's expression was grave. The situation was too strange. Curtis had been cured, but they had no clue who did it. His curiosity was piqued to the extreme. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made that call in the first place.

After a long moment, Xena anxiously asked, "Then who could it be? I didn't call any famous doctor. I know my own abilities. I couldn't even afford to hire Dr. Quinn, let alone a miracle doctor."

Xander cautiously said, "Think carefully. As the goddess of war, you must have arranged for someone to secretly guard the villa and protect your grandfather. It would be nearly impossible for an outsider to enter. So, who else has ever entered the villa?" Who else? After thinking it over, Xena could only come up with one answer.

"There's only one other person, but it can't be him. Although he is a doctor, I know his skills inside out. Even if he was hiding something, there's no way he could cure Grandpa." "Oh?" Xander's interest was piqued. "Don't rush to make judgments just yet. Can you arrange for me to meet him? All I need is a handshake to get a sense of things."

Seeing Xena hesitate, Xander asked with a hint of doubt, "What? Don't you want to find out who saved your grandfather?"

Biting her lip, Xena finally conceded. Even though she was convinced it couldn't be Felix, she gave in to Xander's insistence. "Fine, I'll try to arrange a meeting."

At sunset, in Kane's courtyard, Felix received a call from Xena.

"It's confirmed. Lennox has indeed been drugged, but the person was masked, so the sketch is useless. The guy you knocked out told us who was behind it, but by the time we got there, that person was already dead," she informed him.

him. "Lady Summers, I'm not your superior. You don't have to report your investigations to me."

Felix looked uninterested. He was slightly confused about why Xena call

It was strange. Judging by her usual demeanor, Xena wouldn't behave this way.

"You were involved, so you have the right to know. Also... are you free now? I'd like to treat you to some fondue."

What? Felix pinched himself, thinking that he was dreaming. This was the same woman who treated him like a nobody earlier, and now she was reporting things and inviting him to dinner?

He declined, "I've got plans tonight. Maybe next time..."

"If Grandpa hadn't asked me to, do you think I'd be calling you? Felix, are you even a man?

Hearing this, Felix sighed in relief. This was more like the Xena he knew. Anything else would have felt odd to him.

"Fine. Send me the address, and I'll be there."

Could it be that Xena had a change of heart and wanted to try getting along? No, that was unlikely.

Back at the villa, Xena hung up the phone. Her emotions were in turmoil as she turned to look at Xander. "He agreed. Let's head out."
