She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 446

Lucian's voice was steady and powerful: "Although I'm in the Navy, I've also undergone rigorous Army training. I won't be any worse than the experts you hire, Gordon."

Morris also spoke solemnly to Lucian: "This is highly dangerous. If you can bring my brother back, the entire Lonsdale family will owe you a massive favor."

"I don't need favors." Lucian's gaze swept past Morris and finally landed on Loyce's tense profile. "I just want Loyce to stay home and not run toward danger. I will bring Forrest back safely."

Initially, he had been busy at the military base dealing with the recent instability in neighboring countries caused by the Emerald Strait situation. He suddenly received Morris's SOS call, asking for a specialized team equipped for hazardous mines to go in and save someone. When he learned Forrest was the one in trouble, he immediately thought of Loyce. Knowing her personality, she would absolutely go try to save him herself. Worried she would do something reckless, he wrapped up his meeting, threw on his uniform, and rushed over with his men.

"There’s nothing to argue about. I’m going. Forrest is going to need me." Loyce's tone was calm, her eyes bright and clear. "Out of everyone here, no one understands the toxins in those unknown mines better than I do."

"The compounding reactions of radioactive toxins, how to suppress the spread of the toxins in a short time, how to buy time when there isn't a specific antidote... do any of you have experience with that?"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the experienced soldiers. They all showed signs of hesitation. While they were brave, dealing with this incredibly specific biochemical mineral threat, involving advanced medical science, was truly not their area of expertise.

"I’ve seen this before, I’ve handled it before, and I survived it." Loyce’s voice was flat, but it carried enormous weight. "No one here is better qualified than I am. If Forrest crashes, I’m his best chance of staying alive. If you wait until he’s brought out to start treatment, it may already be too late."

Loyce's words left everyone momentarily unable to argue back.

Loyce's identity as the 'SaintHealer' was no longer a secret to the Lonsdale family or Lucian. Her medical skills were unmatched. Bringing her along was, logically, the most sensible choice.
