Academy Hospital

"I'm fine," said Kevin weakly, his body wrapped in bandages from head to toe.

As the first to come into contact with the curse, Kevin had sustained severe injuries. In just a few seconds, nearly half his body had turned to char, and most of the skin had peeled off. Through the gaps in the bandages, Richard could even see his bright red muscles still pulsating.

"The doctor said my external wounds are easy to handle, but the biggest issue is the loss of life energy. It'll take a long time to replenish it, and I'm afraid I won't be able to act as your proxy during this time."

Richard nodded in silence before adding,

"I'll take care of this matter. Just focus on recovering. If you want your proxy position back later on, I'll keep it open for you."

Kevin managed a weak smile: "Okay, hold that position for me."

Richard turned and left the patient's room, with Ali quickly following behind.
