Chapter 176: She Is Powerful.
Holding a tablet in his hands, Makoto scrolled up and down, his eyes scanning the lines of text one after the other. Very rarely did he bother reading through medical documents, but this time, he found himself glued to this one in particular, going through it again and again as if he had developed an obsession.
