Chapter 26 Sir Cliff's Quiet Concern

• The day was calm as Sir Cliff sat by the window in his study, his mind drifting back to the unexpected encounter he had with the strange healer. The memory was vivid—his car colliding with the healer's on that sunlit afternoon a few weeks ago. That day had left him more confused than he'd been in years, but also, strangely, healthier.
• Since then, his relentless cough had disappeared, and the stabbing pain in his chest had diminished significantly. Sir Cliff had battled this illness for years, and the improvements he now felt seemed nothing short of miraculous.
• Andrew, his faithful driver, had done his best to find the herbs prescribed by the healer, but one critical ingredient had remained elusive. Sir Cliff worried constantly that without it, his health would regress.
