Chapter 1381 Cut the Crap


    Elisa furrowed her brow, her expression growing solemn, "What did he eat today?"


    Thomas'' worry grew evident in his voice as he shared, "Mr. Wickam was with you all day today. We ate


    together, but we were both feeling fine. He started developing symptoms shortly after we got back from


    the casino. I was going to inform you, but he won''t let me..."


    Thomas quickly covered Gareth with the two nkets he was holding.


    Gareth''s hands trembled uncontrobly in that instant, and his palms felt icy cold. Elisa''s brow furrowed


    as she observed the unsettling scene.


    Realizing that Gareth hadn''t eaten anything out of the ordinary, Elisa immediately concluded that the


    poison he had been given was intended to induce chills.


    "Increase the room temperature," she instructed Thomas. "I''ll go get some medicine for him."


    As she turned to leave, however, Thomas stopped her. "Let me go instead, Ms. Bt,"


    He voiced out, "If the enemy exploits the situation and attempts to harm you, it would be catastrophic."


    Gareth''s top priority now was to keep Elisa by his side, and Thomas had already gone above and


    beyond to help him achieve that. Elisa remained unperturbed by the idea of anyone taking advantage


    of the circumstances to harm her.


    She chuckled and quipped, "Who would do that to me now that the Ganoderma Caligo has been


    taken?"


    Thomas'' anxiety grew as he heard her words and looked concerned at Gareth.


    "But given Mr. Wickam''s current condition, I wouldn''t know what to do if something unexpected were to


    ur while you''re away."


    Elisa nced at Gareth and saw he was shivering underyers of nkets. Thomas had a point. She


    had to find a middle ground.


    "Then I''ll send you the name of the medicines. Please make sure youe back as soon as possible."


    "Okay," Thomas replied and immediately set off.


    After he left, Elisa quickly switched on the room''s air conditioner. The elevated temperature caused her


    to sweat profusely, yet she couldn''t help but worry about Gareth''s condition.


    This was thetest, highly potent medication developed in the ck market. Its effects were instant and


    formidable. If ingested without engaging in sexual activity with a woman, it would cause severe


    bleeding, ultimately leading to a violent death.


    Even if someone utilized a drug to suppress the toxicity, the poison would persist in the body, leading to


    a two-stage reversal. Initially, the body would be intensely hot, followed by an equally chilling


    phase in theter stages.


    There was presently no avable antidote.


    Upon reaching those concluding remarks, Elisa''s gaze immediately shifted toward Gareth.


    Gareth''s symptoms showed no signs of improvement.


    She had no option but to return to her room and retrieve her nket to cover him. "Hang in there,


    Gareth. Thomas will be back soon."


    She couldn''t simply stand by and do nothing while watching his critical state.


    However, Gareth also noticed Elisa drenched in sweat. Furrowing his brows, he told her, "You...


    leave..."


    Hearing his words, Elisa responded indignantly, "If I were to leave at this critical moment and


    something happened to you, wouldn''t I be held responsible? I have promised Grandma to look after


    you, so cut the crap!"


    Just as Gareth was about to utter another word, a frazzle struck him. His eyelids grew increasingly


    heavy, and he eventually sumbed to darkness, losing consciousness.


    Upon witnessing Gareth''s condition, Elisa swiftly applied pressure to his acupuncture point and


    administered a precisely ced needle.

    By the time Thomas returned, Elisa''s clothes werepletely drenched, yet she remained steadfast in


    her determination to prepare a medicinal bath for Gareth.
