Jeffrey was disappointed when he heard her reply, but then he remembered that she had no memory. "it's okay, you used to have such good skills," Jeffery said.

When Ellen heard his comment and saw how he shook his head, she could guess what he was talking about even if he did not finish his statement. "I have a plan; I am not just sure about it," Ellen said. She could tell that these healers did not want to help because even if they were not sure of the cure, they should at least know how to stop the poison from spreading.

"Then let's give it a try," Jeffery replied. He was at the end of the rope anyway. These men were not willing to help. Even if he forces them, they might just do something to kill the men faster. It was already incredible that the poison was spreading very slow even if the men seemed to be in so much pain, at least there was hope since they were still breathing.
