Chapter: 663

At this moment, Millie was uncertain whether Fiona had undergone facial surgery.

She was leveraging the uncertainty to unnerve Fiona into confessing the truth.

After all, the resemblance between Fiona and her childhood self was uncanny.

Fiona was taken aback.

Millie’s question caught her off guard, and a wave of fear surged within her.

Concealing her anxiety, she clenched her fists covertly.

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand. My appearance is natural. I haven’t had any plastic

surgery.”

Filled with guilt, Fiona turned on her heel and left.

Millie’s conviction about Fiona’s surgery was solidifying. Strangely, though, Fiona had only altered the

upper half of her face.

Unbeknownst to Millie, Lois had investigated her background. Lois was aware that when Leon met with

Millie, the latter had worn a mask. Consequently, Leon had never seen the lower part of her face.

Hence, Lois instructed Fiona to undergo surgery solely on the upper half of her face.

In the hospital director’s office, the hospital director personally attended to Marcus.

Observing the wound closely, his expression turned grave.

With over 40 years dedicated to medicine, the director boasted expertise in medicine. A revered figure

in the medical realm, his silver hair attested to his experience.

Derek couldn’t help but inquire, “Doctor, why isn’t Mr. Thomas’ wound improving with the medication? It

seems to be worsening. What’s wrong with the wound?”

The doctor let out a sigh, his demeanor exceedingly serious.

“To my knowledge, the blade that injured Mr. Thomas was tainted with poison. This poison comes from

a plant known as the bloody herb. It’s an exceptionally potent toxin.”

“Bloody herb! Doctor, are you certain?”

Derek’s shock was palpable as he grasped the implications of the revelation. His knowledge of the herb

came from Raven Island, affording him an understanding of its formidable toxicity.

It was a plant bearing an incredibly toxic venom. It thrived on the decaying corpses of serpents and

venomous insects. The fluid it secreted contained a virulent poison that was lethal when introduced into

wounds. It could contaminate the bloodstream.

Blood is the foundation of life, and a polluted bloodstream could quickly lead to death.

“’m positive. It’s bloody herb,” the doctor affirmed resolutely.
