"It will take at least three days," Vivian said as he looked at her.
His lips were curved into a smile, but his eyes didn't match it, they held a quiet tension.
Charlotte stared at him, her face pale and full of worry.

Vivian noticed and walked closer, his tone calm but firm. "Look, Charlotte, you don't have to worry. Just wait a little, and everything will be resolved. I promise."
His words were meant to reassure her, yet deep inside, Charlotte knew the risk he was taking.

The toxin could shatter one's mana core if one stayed too long near it.
