Chapter 355


    "Kent, was there really no hope for the poison? Theponents of love potion are mostly the


    same, and my father said you could help him."


    Kent replied, "Keith, I’ve said that your father has built up a resistance. Normally, a love potion isn’t


    fatal. Drinking plenty of water, taking cold showers, and counteracting with antidotes are enough.


    We are in this predicament only because this particr potion was strong and your father has


    developed resistance."


    "What does your mother say?”


    Keith answered softly: “My mother said my father''s life or death has nothing to do with her.”


    Kent was speechless.


    She was indeed ruthless!


    Their only hope seemed to be dashed.


    Inwardly, Kent sighed. On the outside, however, he was filled with urgency. “Then what should we


    do? Just watch as your father deteriorates. We’ve given him plenty of water, cold baths, and


    antidotes, but these are just stopgap measures. Over time, his body will only get worse. Keith, call


    your mother again, talk to her. Even if she resents your father, she should save him for the sake of


    you and your sister. After all, they were once husband and wife. If not, let your sister persuade her."


    Kent lied with a straight face, giving off an aura that Nathan''s life depended on his wife.


    After a pause, Keith said, “I’ll contact Lucy. Let Lucy talk to my mother.”


    He added: “Kent, you’re not helping my father deceive us, are you?”


    "Keith, do you not know me? I’m the most honest person. I wouldn''t joke about your father''s health.


    He once saved my and my family''s lives. I value his life more than my own."


    Kent’s loyalty to Nathan was not only because Nathan trusted him and allowed him to utilize his


    medical skills fully, but also because Nathan had saved his family.


    After a moment of silent, Keith said, "I know you are honest, but you are also my father''s confidant."


    He emphasized "my father''s confidant."


    "Keith, if you don''t trust me, you can take your father to another hospital."


    Keith: “I''ll call Lucy.”


    He called Lucinda in front of Kent, but the one who answered was Stefan.


    "Bro, what’s up?"


    Stefan lowered his voice on the phone, fearing to wake Lucinda. He had a hearty meal and didn''t


    want to disturb her sleep.


    "Was Lucy asleep?”


    “Yeah.”


    “If you need to talk to Lucy, you can tell me now, and I’ll tell her in the morning.”


    Stefan asked with concern; "Is something wrong?”


    “Something did happen, not to me, don’t worry. It’s just that Dad was poisoned, and Mom was


    unwilling to help. I was thinking maybe Lucy could persuade Mom.”


    Keith didn''t make things very clear, but Stefan, who had just spent a passionate night with his wife,


    understood instantly.


    “Bro, send Dad to the hospital immediately. This kind of potion is easy to counteract. If not, he


    should drink more water, take cold showers, and wait for the potion to wear off. If the potion is too


    strong, he should definitely go to the hospital, or it could be fatal.”


    Keith: “You seem to have a lot of experience.”


    Stefan choked.


    "But the doctor said that the potion my dad took is very strong, and the methods you mentioned are


    not effective. That''s why he suggested Mom.”


    Sitting up, Stefan quietly left the bedroom and said in a low voice, “Unless the dosage were very


    high, causing your father to faint or even die, then it would be ineffective. How is your dad now?”


    “He vomited blood twice.”


    Stefan frowned, "That''s a severe reaction. Tell the doctor to do everything to save him, and I''ll


    arrange for some good doctors toe over immediately.”


    Kent, who had been listening to Keith and Stefan''s phone call, heard what Stefan said on the


    phone. He quickly said, "I''ve managed to temporarily stabilize him. There''s no immediate danger,


    but it would be best if Janice could help."


    Hearing Kent''s words, Stefan fell silent on the other end of the phone.

    Kent was helping his father-inw, he dared to say that his father-inw was not as serious as Kent


    said.


    A doctor trusted by his father-inw, helpless against a love potion? He wouldn''t believe it even if he


    was killed.


    Indeed, they had intentionally only countered half of the potion, leaving the other half to coax his


    mother-inw into sacrificing a bit.


    Stefan felt that he didn''t know enough about his father-inw. He didn''t expect his father-inw to


    be so cunning.


    Well, as expected of the head of the family.


    "Did you contact mom?”


    Stefan, who had seen through his father-inw''s tactics, was much calmer. Whether it was his


    father-inw or his mother-inw, he couldn''t offend either. But this kind of thing was based on


    willingness. If his mother-inw was unwilling, he couldn''t persuade her.


    “Yes.”


    "What did mom say?”


    “Mom said that dad''s life or death has nothing to do with her and that there are plenty of women out


    there. She told me to find another woman to help Dad.”


    Stefan paused once more, then said to his brother-inw, “Tell that doctor to find a way to save


    Dad. If they can''t, arrange a ne to bring Dad over immediately. Our doctors in Pinehurst can


    definitely save him.”


    Kent was speechless.


    He had a feeling that his master''s son-inw seemed to have seen through their n.


    “Alright.”


    Keith was no fool.


    At first, he was indeed very anxious and worried. The saying was true, ''When the mind is worried,


    and it bes confused''. He hadn''t considered many things.


    After talking to his mother on the phone, he suspected that this was his father''s plot and Kent was


    an aplice.


    But Kent''s words were seamless.


    It wasn''t until he heard his brother-inw''s words that Keith understood this was a trap set by his


    father.


    His mother knew his father best.


    After ending the call, Keith said to Kent, "Kent, you heard what Stefan said. Why don''t you guys try


    again? I''m sure there''s a way to counteract the potion.”


    Knowing that their n had failed, Kent had no choice but to say, "I''ll discuss with the others about


    adjusting your father''s medication.”


    “Kent, I''m counting on you.”


    "This is something I should take care of." Kent said, "I need to meet with some specialists to discuss


    it."


    "Alright."


    With that, Kent hurriedly left the office.


    Before long, he pushed open the door to a plush private hospital room. Standing by the window,


    Nathan was staring out into the night. Hearing the door open, he turned and saw Kent. He didn''t


    wait for him to speak. Instead, he gave a wry smile and asked, "My n didn''t work, did it?"
