Chapter 431
Meanwhile, Royal Bay was in chaos.
After checking Richard’s injuries, Sidney was absolutely distressed. “This poison is too strong. If we don’t get it out of his system fast enough, there’s no hope to save him!”
Outside Royal Bay’s private operating room, Hank almost passed out a few times, whereas John and Garry were anxious and panicked.
“So what should we do? Tell me where to get the antidote, Mr. Pauley. I’ll go look for it right away!” John was like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Sidney pondered for a short while and suddenly said, “I remember that Tiffany left me a glass bottle before. The pills inside are antidotes to all the poisons in the world. I think-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by John. Mr. Pauley, Mr. Hampton was injured because of that woman. Are you sure we can use that medicine she gave you? It may not be an antidote but poison!”
John no longer addressed Tiffany by her name. It was enough to show how deep his resentment was.
Sidney shook his head. “We’re having an emergency and we need to take the chance. Besides, I don’t believe Tiffany would do such a thing. There must be a reason.”
“What reason could there be? I was right there and saw it with my own eyes. That woman was up to no good. She’s not worthy of Mr. Hampton treating her like that!” John shouted.
The more John thought about it, the angrier he became. “I really regret not killing that cold–blooded and heartless woman back then!”
Sidney ignored him and got someone to bring the glass bottle over. He poured out a few pills and fed them to Richard, who was unconscious.
The pills produced using Miracle Healer were truly extraordinary. It dissolved instantly in the mouth, making the absorption fast and effective.
Sidney had been observing Richard’s physical signs and symptoms. The country’s Asclepius, who had always been calm, was now covered in sweat. He was taking a leap in the dark.
‘If what John said was true and if Tiffany had foreseen this, what she gave me back then wouldn’t be the antidote but poison. And if that’s the case, Richard is doomed!‘ Sidney forced himself to calm down as he thought about the chances.
Suddenly, the electrocardiogram showed an abnormality. The ebb and flow of the heart activity had gone flat. Sidney was shocked and immediately rushed to rescue Richard.
One silver needle after another was prodded into Richard’s skin, and it took a lot of effort to restore the ebb and flow on the electrocardiogram. This time, Sidney didn’t dare to wait any further. He needed to perform surgery on Richard immediately.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Outside the door, Garry and John were waiting. Even though they were anxious, they knew that they shouldn’t disturb Sidney at this crucial moment.
A servant came over and reported, “The Saintess from Azure Sea Royal Family, who came last time, is here again. She said that she knew how to save Mr. Hampton. Do you want to let her in?”
Garry and John looked at each other and frowned. “Is it Morwen?” they blurted.
“The last time she came to Lovell City in a high–profile manner, the first place she came to was Royal Bay. However, at that time, Richard had orders to not let any outsiders in. That was why Morwen was given the cold shoulder. Garry recalled.
“But now, she’s here again, and she’s saying that there’s a way to ive Richard. Could it be true? If it’s true…” John was still hesitating when Hank, who had been silent the entire time, said “Let her in!”
His son’s life was in danger. Even if there was only the slightest glimpse of hope, he would grab onto it. Garry frowned but didn’t say anything as they didn’t have any other choices.
Soon, Morwen could be seen rushing over with a servant. She took out the medicine that she had prepared and said, “This can cure Mr. Hampton. Give it to him now!”
Azure Sea Royal Family was famous for its medicines. They also have many extraordinarily talented members. As the Saintess of that royal family, it made sense for Morwen to be able to offer such an antidote.
John was overjoyed and immediately reached out to take it. Unexpectedly, Morwen added, “But under one condition.”
“What condition?” He knew that this woman had other motives.
“When Mr. Hampton wakes up, I want him to marry me.” Morwen smiled and looked directly at Hank. “After all, this is what we agreed on before. Now, we just have to forgo the mistakes made and start with a clean slate. Don’t you think so?”
‘Forgo the mistakes? Right, Tiffany was the mistake. Morwen’s right. It’s time to wipe it all out and move forward!‘ Hank thought. And just as he was about to agree, the door of the operating theater opened.
Sidney stood there, his tone a little stony. “That won’t be necessary. Mr. Hampton is in a stable condition. The medicine I just gave him worked.”
Tiffany gave Sidney the pills back then and told him to use them in case of emergencies. They have proven their efficacy. What Tiffany gave wasn’t poison but a miracle drug that was the antidote to all the poisons in the world.
John was stunned. “Really?” He couldn’t believe his ears. ‘Tiffany stabbed Richard, but she gave Sidney the antidote. Why would she do that?‘
Sidney ignored him, looked straight at Hank, and said, “You know your son’s temper best. It’s better not to arrange a marriage at whim. Let’s wait till Richard wakes up and decide after that.
Sidney knew that even if the person Richard wanted to marry wasn’t Tiffany, it wouldn’t be Morwen. Richard wouldn’t listen to Hank, anyway. No one could coerce him into anything.
When the old man heard what Sidney said, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Are you sure he’s stable already? Will he still be in danger?”
“Yes, he’s in a stable condition. It’s just that he’d lost a lot of blood. It’ll be some time before he wakes up.” Sidney lied.
In fact, Richard wasn’t out of the woods yet. After Sidney removed the dagger from Richard’s chest, he found out that other than poison, there was also a hallucinogenic component in Richard’s blood.
This meant that even if he had saved Richard’s life, it was still unknown when the latter would regain his consciousness. There was also a possibility of him not waking up at all. However, Sidney kept this to himself.
Hank nodded and stood up with his walking stick. “That’s good. Take good care of him.” With that, he left.
Morwen didn’t manage to hand over the pills in her hand. She never expected such an outcome and immediately asked, “Didn’t you say that Mr. Hampton was poisoned? Aren’t you going to save him?”
It turned out that Morwen was oblivious to the part where Tiffany had already given the cure to Sidney way Morwen couldn’t understand what Sidney was saying.
Sidney put on a fake smile, patted Garry’s shoulder, and said, “Escort Miss Xanthus out.”
beforehand.
Although Garry didn’t like being ordered around, he didn’t want to see Morwen at Royal Bay. Hence, he immediately grabbed Morwen by the collar and forced her out.
Morwen didn’t say anything and was trembling with anger. I’m a woman after all. How could he treat me like trash? Is he really a man?‘ She thought.
Garry was indeed a man—a very frank one. He left Morwen at the entrance of Royal Bay and said politely, “We shall part here, and I won’t see you out. Goodbye.” Then, with a bang, the steel door was closed.
Morwen was dishevelled. She was so angry that her face puckered. “Argh! Come back!” she yelled.
Garry rolled his eyes at her. This time, he cut the act. “Don’t make me shoo you.”
