White Death (1)

***

Once the illness of Lady Gretel of House Ceres was identified, Yulian transferred her and the duke to the Mayer Clinic.

“As I explained earlier, this illness is greatly affected by the environment. So until a suitable environment is prepared, it would be best for her to be hospitalized at our clinic.”

The room with the ten-layered barrier that the duke had prepared for his daughter. Ironically, that room was worsening her illness.

With no windows, it had no ventilation, and not a ray of sunlight entered. It was, in every sense, the perfect environment for mold to grow.

Mold was fundamentally inimical to health, but to a patient with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, it was practically poison. Add a feather pillow, a fur brush, and paper that readily grew mold.

This space was nothing short of a gas chamber for killing a patient with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

‘I can understand why the duke prepared such a room for her, though.’

Of course, the duke had not prepared the room because he wanted to kill his daughter.

If I had to guess, he had probably created such an environment after countless trials and errors...
