Chapter 78

• Since I’m asking for help, I won’t hide anything. Chen De told Sullivan everything that had happened.
• “I’ve got an old friend, he’s seventy. He dabbles in traditional medicine, really cares about wellness, and he’s always been in great shape. But out of nowhere, his health took a nosedive a while back. Now he’s stuck in bed and getting thinner by the day. He didn’t want the younger folks in his family to worry, so he told no one—just me.”
• “I checked his pulse and found nothing wrong. I wondered if my skills just weren’t up to par. But the hospital couldn’t find anything either. He still doesn’t want to tell his family. As his friend, I can’t just watch him waste away, so I’m asking you for help.”
