"An email just arrived from one of the research facilities in Lamey. They’re developing a possible cure for a case similar to the Chairman’s," Tyron began, then hesitated. "But there’s a problem."
Alexander frowned. "What’s the issue?"
"They need a test patient with a case identical to the Chairman’s to confirm the cure’s success rate. The facility is struggling to find someone matching that criteria," Tyron explained with a sigh.
"But there are plenty with similar cases..." Alexander grumbled.
Tyron nodded. "True, but none are willing to be test subjects, Boss. We’ve already tried offering substantial compensation, but it hasn’t convinced anyone. Either the patient or their families refuse. Some even got offended, saying they’re not lab rats."
Alexander’s jaw tightened. He understood their hesitation but felt the urgency pressing down. "So, no leads at all?" he asked.
"Not yet," Tyron replied, his tone resigned. "We’re searching for patients or families desperate enough for a breakthrough, but it’s a fine line to walk."
