Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 576 A Race Against Time

While Landon and his team continued scouring Yalvaria for the virus’s source, Michael had already landed. in Montedra. The moment his plane touched down, Nathaniel’s local contacts–stationed and ready- escorted him straight to the hospital.

Walter’s condition had taken a turn for the worse. Sensing the urgency, the guards Landon had left at the Sinclair estate had already transferred the old man to the hospital for specialized care. As soon as Michael stepped into the room, he went directly to the bedside and placed two fingers gently on Walter’s pulse.

After a moment, he slowly shook his head.

Louis, watching from nearby, felt his heart sink. He recognized Michael–he’d been the chief physician during Walter’s previous surgery. If even he was shaking his head… things were truly grim.

“The best we can do now is buy time,” Michael said solemnly, putting away his stethoscope. “Walter’s only wish is to see Tessa. We have to give them that much.”

He pulled a small bottle from his medical kit. “Half a tablet per day. It’ll keep his vitals stable for now. But…..”

“I understand.” Louis took the bottle, his voice trembling. “Thank you.”

Michael didn’t linger. He turned immediately and headed for the virus research center. “Tessa’s waiting. Montedra can’t afford delays.”

At the lab, Tessa was hunched over a microscope studying viral samples, while Rosa stood beside her, diligently recording data. When Michael entered, Tessa looked up briefly. “You’re here.”

“First, we see Samuel,” Michael said, already donning protective gear. His tone brooked no argument. “He’s an S+ class werewolf. The virus mutation path inside him is the most valuable data point we’ve got.”

Rosa eyed the white–haired yet sharp–eyed man curiously, then hesitantly asked, “Are you… Mr. Michael from the International Medical Guild of Werewolves?”

Tessa nodded. “Yes. He’s Samuel’s mentor.”

Rosa froze.

This was the Michael–the living legend of the medical world, idol to every student who ever wore a white coat. She never dreamed she’d see him in person, let alone during such a critical crisis.

Michael, however, didn’t even glance at her. He followed Tessa straight to Samuel’s isolation chamber. Inside, Samuel sat upright, still dutifully tracking his physical stats. He looked up with a wry grin. “Any later and I’d have become the virus’s first display sample.”

“Smartass,” Michael muttered, shooting him a glare. He flipped through Samuel’s notebook, brow furrowing. “Even an S+ body can’t withstand this… This virus isn’t just aggressive–it’s surgical.”

He placed a hand against Samuel’s carotid artery, eyes closing briefly as he concentrated. “It’s targeting you werewolf gene chain. Your regenerative ability’s the only thing holding it back–it’s bought us a narrow window.”

“Good.” Samuel exhaled with relief, then turned to Tessa. “You found the pathogen?”

“Yeah,” she nodded. “We’re working on a neutralizing agent now.”

“Call me if you need anything. He lifted the notebook. “This covers my body’s changes over the past few days. It should help.”

Michael took it from him, then turned to Tessa. “Let’s go. Back to the lab.”

On the way back, Michael casually mentioned Landon’s operation in Yalvaria. Tessa’s steps halted mid- stride.

“I need to make a call.” She leaned against the corridor wall and dialed Landon’s number. The faint electric buzz in the receiver tapped steadily against her heart.

Sunlight streamed through the hallway window, pooling over her tightly clenched hand. Her fingertips. turned pale from the pressure.

“Hello?” Landon’s voice finally came through, taut despite the calm he tried to project.

Relief washed over her–only to be replaced by tension.

“You went to Yalvaria?” she said sharply

Yalvaria. Nathan’s domain. Just thinking of it made her chest tighten.
