"No." Kathleen said, "We haven't known each other for long. Just a month or two.”
Marianne was shocked and asked her," You've only known Charlie for a month or two, so why do you know him so well, then?!"
Kathleen smiled in a self-deprecating manner and said, "Well, who asked me to be a smart aleck? I had to find out everything about him, and the deeper I looked into him, the deeper I got caught in it.”
Having said that, Kathleen smiled and said, "Sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing. I was also sad for a whole day like you are now when I found out that he likes Nanako."
Marianne was even more puzzled, and she asked, "Miss Fox, how did you know that?’
Kathleen laughed and said, "Based on reasoning."
Having said that, Kathleen said, "First of all, as far as I know, Nanako was seriously injured after she competed in Aurous Hill. The media once said that her life was in danger, and even if she pulled through and survived, she might have to be bedridden for the rest of her life. This is the first clue.'
"Secondly, Charlie left Oskia and headed to Japan shortly after Nanako was injured and returned to Japan. On the surface, he went there to take over Japan's Kobayashi Pharma, but a series of extremely serious assassinations then occurred in Tokyo. Several major families were killed, and even Nanako’s father, Ito Yahiko, almost lost his life in that chaos. However, do you know what's most interesting?"
Marianne asked incomprehensibly, "What is it?”
Kathleen said seriously, "What's most interesting is that so many people from several major Japanese families died, one of the major families was completely annihilated, and Ito Yahiko also had his legs amputated because he was seriously injured. However, Nanako, who was seriously injured, was miraculously healed, and she also rose up to take over the Ito family. Can you guess why?"
Marianne shook her head. "I can't guess. Was it because of a medical miracle?"
So, she subconsciously took out the divine pill that Charlie had given to her from her handbag, handed it over to Kathleen, and asked, "Miss Fox, what kind of pill do you think this is?"
When Kathleen saw the small wooden box in her hand, she was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning and blurted out," This... Is this a Rejuvenating Pill?! Miss Long, where did you get this?!"
Marianne said truthfully, "I came here for dinner with Charlie before. It happened to be my birthday at that time, so I casually spoke to Charlie and asked him to give me a birthday gift. He then took out this divine pill and gave it to me. At that time, he told me to take good care of it and to take it out and eat it if I ever got seriously ill or injured in the future..."
Kathleen was dumbfounded for a moment and suddenly said, "In that case, this must be the Healing Pill..."
Having said that, she looked into Marianne's eyes, and she had an extremely complicated expression as she said, "Miss Long, Charlie must really care about you. You might not know this, but this Healing Pill is something countless people beg for but cannot even get their hands on. Even I only managed to get half of the Healing Pill for my grandfather when I knelt and begged Charlie for it when my grandfather was dying..."
