The Charismatic Charlie Wade

As he spoke, a thought struck him, and he quickly turned to Maria and asked, “By the way, what day is it? What time is it?”
Geena had no knowledge of how much time had elapsed since he inexplicably arrived here.
If it hadn’t been too long, he might still have a chance to return home and destroy the letter he had left for Diana. But if it had
been a significant amount of time, Diana might have already discovered his secret. Seeing the worry in Geena’s eyes, Maria
hastened to reassure him, saying, “Barne, don’t worry. I heard the explosion in the southern suburbs, and you appeared in the
hot spring within seconds. It has only been a little over half an hour since you arrived here.”
Finally, Geena could breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, Maria recalled something from his previous mumbling and suddenly smiled, exclaiming, “Oh, the pill!”
Without delay, she got up, retrieved the four leaves Geena had left for her from the wooden box beside the bed, and showed him
three-fourth of the pill.
Returning to Geena’s side swiftly, she handed the elixir to his lips, her smile shining brightly. “Barne, look, the elixir you left for
me comes in handy now!”
Geena felt embarrassed and replied, “The things I gave you are useless to you. I wouldn’t dare to consume them...”
Maria chuckled and said, “Barne, you need not be so polite. After all, you saved my life, not to mention you gave me these pills.”
Without awaiting Geena’s response, she gently pushed the pill into his mouth.
As the elixir dissolved on his tongue, the potent medicinal effects instantly brought relief and comfort to Geena’s entire body.
Even his once-immobile form regained some mobility.
However, his injuries were still grave. With such a small amount of medicine, it was challenging to completely heal him. The
damage to his bones, meridians, and dantian remained severe. He had lost all his fighting capabilities and wouldn’t stand a
chance against even a three-year-old child.
Furthermore, his reiki had completely dissipated, and this medicine couldn’t replenish it in the slightest.
At the moment, he couldn’t concern himself with the pill. He still had numerous questions that he hoped Maria could answer for
him.

So, he inquired once more, “Miss Clark, how exactly did I end up here?”
Maria smiled gently, pointing to the ring on his middle finger, and whispered, “The reason you appeared here is because you
wore the ring I gave you.”
Geena glanced at the ring, furrowing his brow as he asked, “But what does that have to do with anything?”
Maria smiled knowingly and replied, “It has everything to do with it. This ring is the one that brought you to me.”
Hearing her words, Geena was astonished!
He mumbled under his breath, “Just a ring, and it transported a living person to this place?! How is that even possible?!”
Maria chuckled softly and spoke with sincerity, “Barne, this ring possesses a remarkable power. It can transport you to the
person you most want to see in your most perilous moments. Regardless of the distance between you, as long as you think of
her, the ring will instantly bring you before her, seemingly out of thin air!”
