Miles's sister is called Catherine. She was originally a very capable woman.

Now her husband's position still has prospects, and a large part of it was helped by her, so her original position was very different.

At the beginning, she also thought about arranging for her younger brother to work in the city hall.

But she had no choice but to find that her brother was a piece of shit who couldn't stand up to the wall. He messed up some things many times. In order to prevent herself from being implicated, she gave up the idea of putting him in the city hall.

Let Miles sell bread, and let him establish contact with Black Snake Gang, all in order to get some information.

She also thought that even if this stupid brother couldn't accomplish anything big, it would still be useful to help him get some information.

But he didn't expect that even by selling a piece of bread, he could cause trouble, and he actually got into trouble with Earl Winter.

That person is in charge of the empire's purse, and it goes without saying how powerful his position is.

Originally, this special position could have been given to a marquis, but he actively refused and even donated a large part of his overseas fiefdoms to the empire to prove his loyalty.

This behavior also gave him a very special status in the empire.

When he heard that Miles's incident had alarmed the Earl Winter family, Catherine's first reaction was what should he do and what should he do to put aside the relationship.

Fortunately, after subsequent investigation, it was found that the matter was not that serious, and Earl Winter did not pay too much attention to the matter, which prevented the matter from expanding further.

But everyone in the courtroom at that time, as well as several judges under the supervision of Miles, were all dissatisfied with this accident.

But how could a small citizen bear such dissatisfaction? So they simply blamed Catherine's husband and herself.

During that time, life was very difficult for the couple.

My husband's future has been greatly affected, and my social circle has also suffered a terrible blow.

So much so that she had to use more energy to make up for her brother's mistakes.

It has been almost two years since the impact of the incident was eliminated.

This is because I discovered that Earl Winter really has no intention of pursuing the case.

After the matter came to an end, the relationship between her and her husband also disappeared, leaving only the relationship of interest.

At that time, she remembered her brother who wanted to punish him.

After they sent someone to inquire, they found out that Miles had stolen something from Black Snake Gang and then ran away. No one knows where he went now.

As soon as he learned about this matter, Catherine's first reaction was that it was impossible...

Her younger brother is just a weakling, so how could he have such a big idea?

But after several investigations, she still came to the same conclusion, which made her completely believe it...

Then there was an indescribable emptiness. She didn't know what she was thinking. Maybe she was relieved that she finally didn't have to clean up the mess, or maybe she had some complaints in her heart and didn't say a word even if she left...

There was also a strong sense of loss - she seemed to have no younger brother.

This feeling crazily eroded her heart for more than two years, and finally made her completely crazy.

No matter what the reason was, she would never see her brother again.

To make matters worse, due to years of frequent social interactions and busy schedules, her mood suddenly changed dramatically, and her body directly suffered huge problems.

Dizziness, S.P.E.W. and the phantoms that appeared from time to time all made her feel scared...

But this time, her husband didn't show the slightest concern. He just asked and then left their home.

Catherine knows that she can no longer count on her husband. That man must have another woman outside.

All she can rely on is herself.

She went to the hospital several times for check-ups, but the doctors just asked her to rest or prescribe some painkillers.

No effective treatment was given, and this situation gave her bad thoughts.

So, after once again getting no results, she finally broke out.

"Damn it, what kind of disease is it? Why are you hiding it from me to this extent? Can any of you explain it to me..."

She screamed desperately in the hall. She completely lost her original grace as a new upper-class person and the wantonness and confidence she had when traveling in the circle of ladies. All that could be seen in her at this moment was hysteria.

As if she was worried about the negative impact, someone invited her into a room and told her the truth.

"There is something growing in your brain now. It keeps growing, oppressing your nerves, until hallucinations finally appear, until the moment of death. And we have no good way to solve it. We can only hope for natural recovery or craniotomy, but the former is too illusory, and the latter has almost no successful cases..."

If Mo Fei heard their descriptions, they would know that the woman was suffering from brain cancer.

Even in the 21st century, this is equivalent to a terminal disease, and the chance of cure is very slim, let alone now without X-rays and various drugs.

London's doctor can only barely guess her condition. As for the treatment, he has no confidence at all.

If the patient has a weak leg, they can still use the excuse of being able to treat her, and then use experimental methods on her, open her head, or boldly use medication. Anyway, the most important thing is to save her life.

But this woman was a famous noblewoman, and her husband was still a member of the city hall. For such a person, if she really died in the hospital bed, the problem would be even greater.

Simply, just pretend that there is no chance at all.

Catherine returned to his home with no one in despair. He didn't know why he had fallen to such a state even though good times were coming.

After thinking about many things without results, she lost interest in life.

Catherine Before his final despair, he found a witch doctor. The name of this witch doctor was only spread among some nobles. It was said that he had some magical medicine in his hands.

Although I don't know if it can be cured, but what if...

So, she found the man herself.

He lives at the junction of West End and East End, which is extremely desolate and terrifying.

The witch doctor's house is behind a tall house. It doesn't look strange at all from the outside, but it's just a little low.

But when Catherine tried to knock on the door, she felt as if her body was scanned by a terrifying look, and she couldn't help but shudder.

Then I heard a coughing sound inside, and at the same time there was a very old voice.

"Come in, poor lamb..."

Catherine looked at the door that suddenly opened, with both fear and a little hope in his heart.

The room was dark, like an endless abyss. Catherine took a deep breath and stepped in decisively.

The moment she entered, the door was closed again.
