Chapter 124


    <b>Loid’s </b>eyes were lowered. After a long moment <b>of </b>silence<b>, </b>he said, “Nothing. Let’s go!!


    This time, he did not take Lily’s hand. He just continued walking in front of her. From behind, he looked lonely.


    Lily’s eyes shed with pity. After a moment, she followed him into the hospital as if nothing had happened.


    They made their way to a VIP ward. Loid stopped at the door. He held the <b>door </b>handle loosely for a moment before pushing it open


    Lily followed him in. When she entered the room and saw the patient lying on the bed, her pupils contracted. She strode forward, her expression.cold.


    “What’s going on?”


    Jason Martinez? Frowning, she took his wrist and felt his pulse. Loid’s pupils contracted as well. Unconsciously, he clenched his fists in his pockets.


    “Mindshroud poison? Lily looked up at Loid in surprise. Her expression was <b>grave</b>.


    Loid averted his gaze and nodded. “Yeah. He has a lot more poison in his system than Grandma did<b>, </b>so his condition is worse.


    “Dr. Benedict Aurum, the Supreme Doctor at the research center, helped slow down his cirction and put <b>him </b>in paralysis so that the poison wouldn’t spread too far, but not even he could cure Jason


    “Jason’s health has been worseningtely.


    <ol>


    <li>y. We don’t think he’s going tost much longer. That’s</li>


    </ol>


    s why we need to find a way to cure him.”


    Lold hadn’t wanted to ask Lily for help at first. If <b>she </b>could cure the Mindshroud poison, then she would’ve saved Belinda in the first ce. Right now, though, be had no other


    choice


    They had to do something about the poison in Hason’s body, or he would die in seven days.


    Lily’s eyes became cold. “Who did this<b>?</b><b>” </b>she asked trigidly.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Mindshroud wasn’t amon poison. There were only five people in the world who could get their hands on it


    After a quick check, Lily found that the poison in Jason was the same kind that afflicted Bnda<b>. </b>They were both likely poisoned by the same person.


    She’d always known that Belinda’s poisoning wasn’t as simple as it seemed. At the very least, Belinda wasn’t just a teacher from the <b>rural </b>countryside.


    If the same person really poisoned Jason and Belinda, then Lily would have to pay attention to this matter.


    “It was one of the Hidden Families,” Loid said lowly.


    “<b>Which </b>one?” Lily asked coldly.


    “We don’t know yet”


    He’d used all of his connections to investigate the matter, but his search hadn’t yielded much results. The Hidden Families were too powerful, Normal investigations were useless against them


    anything. Her eyes were cold.


    Lily pursed her lips without saying anythin


    Shaun hesitated for a moment before finally gathering his courage and asking, “I can see you’re concerned about <b>Jason</b>, Lily. The poison is really deep in his veins now. Can you do something about it?


    Lily nced at him, but she didn’t answer. She could control the poison, but it probably wouldn’t help much. The only way to save <b>Jason </b>was to cure the poisonpletely.


    However, she needed Redush for the antidote. There was only one Redushil in the world, and the Weisses owned it. However, the time and date for the <b>Weiss </b>auction hadn’t been decided yet.


    She <b>could </b>control the poison


    poison until she got the Redushil, but Belinda needed it too


    Belinda and Jason were both very important to her. Choosing one over the other would hurt her either way.


    When she didn’t say anything for <b>a </b>while, Shaun began to lose hope. “You can’t help him?”


    Lily lowered her gaze. Her hand was still gripping Jason’s. Heid immobile on the bed, devoid of <b>any </b>signs of life. His handsome face was <b>pale</b>, like <b>a </b>corpse’s.


    After a moment of silence, Lily stood up “You guys can head home first. Don’t wait for me”


    Loid’s expression changed. He opened his mouth to say something, but the words seemed to get stuck in his throat.


    <b>Shaun </b>nced between the two of them and sighed. “Loid, let’s go. I think she knows how to control the poison.”


    After spending so much time with Lily, he knew her well enough. If she wasn’t sure about something, she <b>would </b><b>just </b><b>admit </b>it.


    Loid pursed his lips and nodded. At the <b>door</b><b>, </b>however, he paused and turned back to Lily.


    “I’ll tell Daniel to wait for you outside. He’ll drive <b>you </b>home whenever you <b>need</b><b>.</b>”


    Lily hummed in understanding <b>and </b>then fell silent,
