Chapter 422

Chapter 422:
Elliana’s eyes narrowed as she pressed further, her voice steady but guarded. “How much do you really know about me? Was it your hand behind Cole and me being registered as a married couple, too?”
Carlos offered a calm smile. “Miss Marsh, you really don’t need to be on edge,” he assured her. “You know exactly what you’re capable of. There’s no way we could keep tabs on you every second, even if we tried. All we’ve figured out is that you’re much more capable than the rumors say. As for how many secrets you’ve got tucked away? We’re still in the dark.”
Elliana found his words believable. She’d spent years slipping in and out of the Jones family’s backyard warehouse, always making sure her activities stayed under the radar. If anyone had been following her that closely, she would have caught on a long time ago.
Carlos shifted the conversation. “Regarding your marriage to Cole, that wasn’t our doing. What we want is simple: ‘The Medical Codex.’ If you’re willing to take it for us, I’ll exchange the knowledge about your mother’s past for it.”
“And what exactly do you want with ‘The Medical Codex’?” Elliana asked without hesitation.
A sly laugh escaped Carlos. “That’s not for you to worry about. Your mother is a legend in medicine because she grasped the core of that book. If you’ve inherited her wisdom and can fully understand the book, then we have a reason to work together.”
Elliana’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. Even though Carlos’s true intentions remained hidden, it was obvious from his words that they didn’t just need “The Medical Codex.” They needed someone who could truly unlock its power. That meant Milena was what they really came after. Was Carlos a force for good, or something darker?
Across the world, powerful groups and covert organizations had their eyes on “The Medical Codex,” each driven by a different agenda. Some saw it as the key to groundbreaking cures and unimaginable profits. Others dreamed of harnessing its knowledge to concoct rare poisons, even using its secrets to manipulate humanity and grab power. There were also those who were simply obsessed with the art of healing, hoping to master the rare techniques hidden within its pages.
Depending on who held it, “The Medical Codex” could either save lives or bring catastrophe. In the hands of someone righteous, it was a blessing. Under the control of the corrupt, it spelled disaster. For that reason, every successor who inherited “The Medical Codex” made sure to stay hidden, quietly protecting its legacy from the shadows.
Elliana’s mind raced. Was it the presence of “The Medical Codex” that had brought so much chaos into Rita’s life? Had she handed…

The manuscript over to Ublento Medical University as a way to protect herself? What made Ublento Medical University the place of choice? Did someone pull the strings from the shadows, or was it entirely Rita’s call? Maybe there was an undisclosed tie between her and the university?
Who had been safeguarding “The Medical Codex” since it was donated to Ublento Medical University? Had anyone managed to grasp its content?
One question after another raced through Elliana’s mind, fueling her determination to dig up the truth. No matter what Carlos’s real motives were, she knew she had to get into Ublento Medical University if she wanted answers about “The Medical Codex.”
