I’m Someone Else

After Quincy drank some tea, he got straight to the point and filled Raymond in on the reason they came.

Raymond’s brows furrowed. The Elliotts were indeed in possession of a Myria Herbal Pill. They won it at one of Unicus Hall’s auctions and put it away for safekeeping this whole time. It was a cure for all poisons and could be used in a life-and-death situation.

“Why do you want it?”

“We need it to cure someone of poison!” Quincy cupped his hands and addressed Raymond, “I won’t hide it from you. We have no other options left, so that’s why we came to ask this of you. Do you still have the Myria Herbal Pill? If you do, go ahead and name your price. We’re willing to pay whatever you ask, no matter how much it is.”

Quincy wasn’t just saying it. He alone had wealth beyond imagination while both the Mortons and the Peralta Family were abundantly wealthy families too. Money was nothing more than a number to them. They didn’t care about how much they spent if it meant they could save Thomas.

Raymond gasped.

Who’s been poisoned? How is it that the acclaimed Dr. Hofstead is at his wit’s end too? Just who is this person? It’s already a huge deal that Quincy Hofstead is here seeking my help, but he’s not the only one. John Morton and Samuel Peralta, these two old blokes, have come in person too! The patient can’t be an ordinary person!

Does that mean I’ll be offending three powerful people if I don’t hand over the Myria Herbal Pill?

Apart from getting rid of various types of poison, the pill could also be used to heal a multitude of injuries, especially internal ones.

Money wasn’t the issue. He couldn’t let them have it no matter how much they offered!

“I won’t beat around the bush. We haven’t used it yet so it’s still with us, but I apologize. It is very important to our family. We can’t let you have it.”

Quincy and two other men looked among themselves with expressions of utmost disappointment.
