Chapter 362 What Is Inside the Compendium of Medical Wisdom
At 2 p.m.. Freya received Radley’s latest medical report from Ethan. She returned to the ward with the report, but as she reached the door, she heard Radley talking to Connor. She opened the door just in time to hear the last of the man’s speech. He instructed, “Keep the news of my ongoing recovery from the public.”
Connor immediately replied, “Roger that.”
Radley glanced at Freya when she entered, but he didn’t pay much attention. He nodded to Connor, saying. “Now, go ahead and get it done”
After Connor left. Freya finally sat down on the edge of Radley’s bed. She reached out and pulled the blanket over him, asking, “What are you planning to do? Why don’t you announce to the public that you have already recovered? The Monaghan Group has been in chaos recently; even an outsider like me knows about it. She was too busy to deal with those who were causing trouble recently. Otherwise, with Radley confined to his sickbed, she would have taken care of those who were now out there spreading false news. that he was dying.
Radley let out a chuckle; he was very good-looking in the first place, and this smile made him look even more handsome. However, there was a chilling glint in his deep, dark eyes. “Aren’t those people spreading rumors that I’m now disabled? I might as well let them believe it so that I can get rid of them from the Monaghan Group when I go back.”
Freya raised her eyebrows in surprise. “You still have so many tricks up your sleeve while lying in the hospital?”
Radley raised his eyes to look at her. At this moment, she was still looking at the medical report she was holding. Her head was slightly lowered; he could only see her long eyelashes fluttering from his angle. Feeling a flutter in his heart, he reached out to hold her hand. “Frey, let’s get married when this is over.”
The proposal of marriage made her hand pause for a moment. She looked up at him, saying, “It’s not the right time yet. I’d like to find out about that organization first before anything else.”
Now, they both knew that LEV, an international terrorist organization, was targeting the Kaufmanns. Now that the organization had started to hurt those around her, she was simply not in the mood for anything else until this matter was resolved.
Radley’s eyes also went grim at the mention of the organization. “Let me deal with this.” The organization. was tremendously powerful, and he didn’t want her to get into dangerous situations. anymore.
Freya shook her head. “This is not something that you should carry on your shoulders. Since we’re going to get married, we have to face this enemy together.” As she spoke, she took “The Compendium of Medical Wisdom” out of the bag she had always carried with her. “I’ve been carrying this book with me these days; I even had it with me when I underwent surgery. Those from LEV are targeting me for this book, but unfortunately, I still can’t unlock the secrets it contains that makes that terrorist organization covet it so much. She handed the book to him.
Radley took it from her, frowning slightly as he flipped through its first few pages. “This looks like an ordinary book on ancient medicine.”
any
Freya nodded somewhat helplessly. “Yeah, that’s right. I tried rearranging the words in the book and even applied some visibility chemicals to a corner torn from one of its pages to see if it had hidden content, but I didn’t find anything.” There was no reason for an international terrorist organization to be coming after a completely ordinary book on ancient medicine.

Freya considered this for a few seconds before her expression turned serious “Give me the went to the doctor’s office and borrowed a lighter Withhe lighter in hand, she returned to the west w grabbed a tray that was used for holding surgical instruments.

work either
The paper burned rapidly in the tray, but as the flames spread to its center, both Preys and Killey’s eyes froze. After the paper was reduced to blackish ashes, a gold shimmer emerged in its center
Freya wanted to touch it, but Radley stopped her. He gently shook the tray, blowing away the ashes on top revealing the golden shimmer, which was an extremely delicate pattern made of fine gold thread. The thread looked slightly thicker than a strand of hair; no wonder it had stayed hidden within the paper without being discovered.
“What is this?” Freya’s eyes were filled with astonishmen. After all the ashes were blown away, they discovered that the gold thread pattern seemed to be an ancient design. It looked like a round totem, though she couldn’t understand what it was.
Radley picked up the phone next to him and took a photo of it. “I’ll have Connor look into this
After the photo was sent, their gaze fell upon the book, Freya frowned. This was an ancient book that arguably a cultural artifact. It would be a shame to burn it like this, but she wouldn’t have any way of knowing what was inside it without burning it. She also wondered what material the gold thread was made of. She had previously examined the pages with things like a microscope and so on, but she had never discovered the existence of this gold thread. And now, if they were to burn the whole book, perhaps its other pages would also have this gold thread in them, making it easier to answer her questions. However, she had read some of the prescriptions in the book and was aware of their immense value. These prescriptions could be considered priceless treasures.
Looking at her expression, Radley knew that she was reluctant to burn the book. But what if the terrorist organization behind this is after this book? He pondered for a moment. “Let me keep this book for now. 11 have Chris send it abroad to have it examined with the latest equipment.”
Freya furrowed her brow and looked at him. “No, that won’t do.” They knew that the organization was after this book, which meant that it would be a ticking time bomb to anyone whose hands it fell into. Just tell me if there’s any foreign institute that can run tests on it. I’ll have someone send it there,” she whispered while reaching out to snatch the book from him.
However, Radley had tucked the book under the pillow. As he bent over, he grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him right away, causing her to land on his chest.
“What are you doing?” Freya was caught off guard for a moment before she struggled to free herself.
Radley chuckled softly. “It’s been too long since I last held you in my arms. I want to hug you for a while.”
“Stop changing the topic! Give me the book,” she demanded immediately.
