Jason and Orion exchanged a nce, then relented. "We
don’t usuallymunicate with outsiders, but you’re
wee toe anytime."
"Since you’re so sincere, let me add something. Young
man, you’re poisoned too."
Jason turned to look at David, eyes widening in surprise.
"But fortunately you met me. This
isn’t a deadhpoison like Luna Stalk,
but it willslowly wear down your ￠~
body andéventually cause organ
failuredit’s hard to detect, but dAce
you@ been exposed, it can O
ually build up."

David’s eyes were as cold and still as a deep pool, sending
a chill down their spines.
“How long has he been poisoned?" Danielle asked sharply,
suddenly realizing her carelessness.
“About two months. If we’d discovered itter, he might’ve
already been in serious danger,” Jason replied with a grin.
"Do you have a cure for it?” Vivian asked gently, her voice
tinged with worry. First Danielle, now David... it seemed like
they were all tied up with poison.
“I can help. Compared to Luna Stalk, this is nothing. I’ll
write a prescription. Just follow it for a week, and he’ll be
fine.”
Jason grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled down a long
list of ingredients, handing it to David.
Nathan took the prescription, his expression hardening. A
month ago, no one at Nathor Pce would have dared
poison his boss. Whoever did this would pay dearly.

Danielle reached into her bag and tossed a small porcin
bottle to Jason.
“What’s this?" he asked, catching it.
“Thank you for helping him. This is a medicine that can
suppress Luna Stalk. I think you might be interested in it."
----
Jason’s eyes gleamed, as if he’d found treasure. He quickly
stuffed the bottle into his pocket. "How could I possibly
ept this?"
Danielle smirked to herself, thinking, "Sure, take it. It’s not
like you’re pretending to be some big shot."
“You’re not getting it back, are you?” Jason hurriedly
sped his pocket.
“Let’s go, Danielle," David urged, gently guiding her away.
“Alright.”

Matthew sat in a chair, looking pale, his eyes fixed on the
operating room doors.
At that moment, Joseph and Elliot hurried over to greet
Jaden. "Mr. Johnson, thank you for your trouble. You can
go rest now," Joseph said.
Jaden shook his head, still staring at the door. "I’ll wait until
the surgery is over."
Joseph didn’t argue, but walked over to Matthew. "Matthew,
what happened?"

faint. "Xavier got injured. Danielle is
