The Tyrant's Terminally-Ill Childhood Friend (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 59

Lowell knew clearly that the cause of her illness was unknown, but she had a rough understanding of its mechanism.

She was certain she’d seen it about three shelves ahead—when had it been moved here? Few people came to this section, and even fewer would seek out such a book.
