On the hospital bed, Bai Yujing carefully opened the bottle and poured its contents into Bethany's mouth. As the liquid entered Bethany's mouth, it spread out like a burst of light, permeating her body. Bai Yujing seemed to see a flow of light emanating from Bethany's body.
"Is it working?" Emma asked nervously, gripping Bai Yujing's hand.
"There's no problem; this is the Fountain of Youth!"
Bethany lay on the hospital bed with an IV in her hand, her face looking pale and her body emaciated. For the past two to three months, she had been in the hospital, and her heart function had deteriorated to a critical point, leaving even the doctors feeling helpless.
When Bai Yujing arrived, he saw Bethany's mother, Daisy, sitting helplessly in the hospital corridor, holding William Bruce. Even William Bruce seemed to have given up and allowed Emma to go in and see Bethany.
Bai Yujing hadn't expected the situation to be this dire. However, according to the doctors, this outcome had been anticipated for some time. If Bai Yujing and the others had delayed any longer or if their journey to Sky Country had not gone smoothly, it might have been too late even if they obtained the Fountain of Life.
After drinking the Fountain of Life, Bethany was tightly held by Emma's small hand. Bai Yujing noticed that her once-dry black hair began to regain fullness, her emaciated form gradually became more robust, and a hint of color returned to her cheeks, transforming her back into the adorable little angel he remembered.
At nine years old, Bethany was already close to 1.4 meters tall, and her frame was slowly taking shape. As the power of the Fountain of Life was gradually released, Bai Yujing could see her hair beginning to float as if she were levitating.
"My God, what is happening?" Emma exclaimed as she held onto Bethany's hand tightly, wrapping both herself and Bethany in the blanket. After a while, she saw Bethany gently descend back to her original position.
Bai Yujing looked at Bethany and stroked her hair. "Don't worry; her life form has undergone some changes. She is now becoming somewhat akin to the Fairy Clan!"
"But it seems she should be fine now; she's fully recovered!"
Emma leaned over Bethany and could hear her strong heartbeat and steady breathing. "Let's not tell Bethany about this; let her grow up like an ordinary child."
Bai Yujing nodded. "Let's handle the discharge procedures as soon as possible and try not to let the doctors discover Bethany's condition!"
"Okay!" At that moment, it seemed that Bethany had been stirred awake by Bai Yujing and Emma's voices. She turned her little head and looked over.
"Sister, and Ian, you came to see me?" Bethany said joyfully.
Looking at Bethany with her arms outstretched, Emma affectionately picked her up and held her in her arms. "I'm sorry, during the time you were sick, I wasn't home to keep you company."
Bethany stretched out her hand. "I feel like I'm completely better now; my body has no problems at all!"
"Really? Then let's check, and we can get you discharged!"
"Yes! I want to go home and eat the pudding that Mom makes for me. Mom said I couldn't have any while I was sick!"
Bai Yujing happily touched Bethany's little face. "From now on, you can eat whatever you want!"
In the United States, inside a biological research institute, a plump white man led Ma Dong through the corridor. Researchers nearby handed over two sets of lab coats and masks. After putting them on, the two hurriedly walked deeper inside.
"Ma, if what you say is true, I promise you everything you ask for. Don't worry, there will definitely be no problems!" The fat man, Thomas, looked very surprised. This yellow-skinned monkey suddenly contacted him through some channel and mentioned something about the Fountain of Youth.
Generally, Thomas ignored such crazy and nonsensical people. However, it was quite interesting that the famous McLeod Medical Group and Burton MacLeod were searching everywhere for this contact person, which piqued his interest.
After checking on this person and the recent activities of McLeod Medical Group, Thomas suddenly realized he might be touching upon another world. Perhaps what this person said was true?
Thomas specifically arranged to meet this Eastern man named Dong Ma. After listening to him speak, he immediately believed what he said. Following a series of transactions, he successfully obtained the Fountain of Youth.
Thomas felt proud; something that neither the McLeod Medical Group nor the powerful McLeod Family had obtained ended up in his hands. The Fountain of Youth—just listen to that name; who wouldn't want something that could extend their life?
Ma Dong was also somewhat hesitant about whether to sell this thing or use it himself. However, in the end, he decided to sell it. What was the point of living a long life if one lived in poverty?
Thus, Ma Dong contacted Thomas, the head of a major conglomerate in the United States through his past channels. Only such a large conglomerate could face off against a giant like the McLeod Family without fear. Thinking about the conditions on the contract, once the test results came out, Ma Dong would have enough money to live freely for the rest of his life.
"Even if you guys are cunning as foxes, you'll still have to drink my bathwater!" Ma Dong chatted and laughed with Thomas beside him. Both appeared calm on the surface but were actually feeling anxious inside.
Thomas waited outside the door, and soon a researcher came out, whispered a few words in Thomas's ear, then glanced at Ma Dong. Thomas took the test report, looked at it briefly, and angrily threw it right in Ma Dong's face.
"Are you treating me like a fool?" Thomas's roar echoed through the corridor, loud enough for the entire building to hear.
Ma Dong was somewhat at a loss: "I don't understand what you mean."
"Fake, do you understand? Someone, throw him out! I don't want to see him in the United States again!"
After his outburst, Thomas's face turned ashen, showing no intention of continuing the conversation with Ma Dong. Ma Dong stood there in a daze when two strong men behind him grabbed him and dragged him away.
In that moment, Ma Dong felt a sense of déjà vu. That's right; it was just like that woman back then, who determined his fate with a contemptuous and dismissive gaze—those damned rich people.
"No, you can't treat me like this! What do you mean fake? I personally obtained this from Fairy Island; how could it be fake!"
"It’s you; you want to breach the contract, right? You want to take my Fountain of Youth. Damn it, you damned scammers!"
Ma Dong cursed furiously, unable to believe that the Fountain of Youth he had personally acquired was actually fake. He preferred to believe that this damned fat man in front of him was trying to pull a fast one.
"Thomas, you... cough cough cough!"
Ma Dong wanted to continue cursing but was punched in the throat, leaving him unable to say another word!
