Chapter 395
The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland
Chapter 395 As soon as Eliza left, Gabriel immediately summoned Chad and several other physicians.
He asked them to do whatever it took to keep Benedict alive for the next four hours Fortunately, Chad and the others were highly skilled and not just there for show.
Pooling their efforts and expertise, they managed to pull Benedict back from the brink of death, keeping him alive for those critical four hours.
Also, Eliza didnât play any tricks on Gabriel this time.
Two hours later, the medicine arrived on time.
Chad opened the box, and upon seeing the Snow Lotus inside, he nodded to Gabriel.
Still, Gabriel couldnât be at ease. âCheck the Snow Lotus,â he ordered firmly.
It was clear he feared Eliza might have tampered with it But the result was the same.
âThereâs no problem. Itâs safe to use,â said Chad.
The other physicians collectively exhaled in relief. âThatâs good. Letâs hurry and prepare the medicine with the Snow Lotus. We canât afford any more delays.â
To ensure the rare Snow Lotusâs full potency, the physicians personally handled the preparation of the medicine. Then, they carefully fed the medicine to Benedict.
âLord Mowbay, with this medicine containing the Show Lotus, weâve managed to buy Lord Benedict some time. Please confirm he takes a full bowl three times a day. Donât feed him more or less. After seven days, his condition should stabilize temporarily.
But as you know, this is only a shortâterm solution. He has at most two to three months. You need to act quickly.â Chadâs face turned grim as he reminded Gabriel.
Gabriel frowned. âDidnât you say we had at least three months? Why is it down to two now?
Chad shook his head. The medicine came too late. Every time the poison flares up, it drains Lord Benedictâs vitality. I canât guarantee the same results anymore.â
A rare flicker of regret crossed Gabrielâs mind when he heard that. If Iâd been more decisive and stopped Matthew from being so reckless, the poison in Benedictâs body wouldnât have flared up before Eliza handed over the medicine. But the regret was fleeting.
Gabriel steadied himself and asked. âCan you come up with a new antidote, Dr. Garraway? Something other than the original one?â
He couldnât help but worry. If we canât find the original antidote, weâll waste precious time. Finding ingredients will be far easier than chasing after the antidote itself.
Chadâs eyes lit up briefly because he knew it was a chance for him, but he quickly masked his excitement. âIf I had a sample of that Poisonous Flower, I might be able to give it a shot.â
âPoisonous Flower? Gabriel tumed to the butler behind him.
The butler gave a bitter smile. âLord Mowbay, as I mentioned, the Poisonous Flowers are gone.â
Gabriel remembered it now. He rubbed his temples. âAfter two sleepless nights, I canât believe I forgot about this. All three are gone?â
Chad froze in shock.
The butler nodded, âYes. All three, including flowers, pots, and soil, were completely gone.â
âHow could it be this thorough? Chadâs lips twitched, cutting off even his next question about whether soil was left because the soil would do.
He let out a helpless sigh. âWell, Lord Mowbay, even if I had the greatest skills in the world, without anything to work with, thereâs no way I can make an antidote.â
Gabriel got what Chad meant. He clenched his fists, forcing down the anger bubbling inside him. âI understand. Dr. Garraway, Iâll find the antidote or the Poisonour my son.â
Successfully unlocked!
I must trouble you to continue looking after After seeing Chad off, Gabriel turned to look at Benedict, who lay unconscious on the bed.
For a moment, Gabriel thought of Eliza, who had negotiated with him. He fell into deep thought.
It took him a moment to snap out of it. He instructed the butler, âGo inform Lady Sophie to summon her pennle hack h 195 Chapter 25 Tell her she must bring me the antidote or the Poisonous Flower within seven days. If she fails, sheâll have to deal with the consequences.â
At this point, Gabriel was no longer in the mood to meet Sophie in person The butler was about to leave after receiving the order when Gabriel stopped him again. âWait a second.â.
The butler immediately retracted the foot he had already stepped out the door, his demeanor cautious and respectful.
âIs there anything else youâd like me to do, Lord Mowbay?â
Let Matthew go with her. If they come back empty handed, he can pack his things and leave to join Dylan,â said.
âGot it. Il tell them nowâ With that, the butler left.
At that moment, three miles outside Hasen City, a bloody chase was underway in a dense bamboo forest, And the silver haired man leading the charge killed the most and was the most ruthless.
In just half a day, nearly half of Lucasâs men were killed by Nolan.
Nolanâs hands and long hair were drenched in crimson, stained by the blood of his enemies His wolfish gaze pinned them down like an alpha wollâs hunt. Within moments, he drove Lucas and the others to the brink As Nolan chased them deeper into the bamboo forest, the Black Flag soldiers, lying in ambush, sprang out and surrounded Lucas and his last few subordinates.
âClangâ Nolan tossed the weapon aside, his face twisted in disgust, and took a clean sword from Ross.
âRunning all the way here should be far enough, donât you think?â Nolan lifted his gaze, his crimson eyes glancing at the group before him. He said in a chilling tone, âNow, you answer my questions. Got it?â
âYou wish...â Before the man behind Lucas could finish his sentence, an arrow whistled through the air and struck his throat with deadly precision. Blood sprayed as he collapsed to the ground.
Lucas and his men froze in shock, their faces pale. They instinctively moved backâtoâback, scanning the bamboo forest for the hidden archer who had them in his sights.
âDidnât you hear what Prince Nolan said? Donât speak before youâre asked. Or youâll be deadâ Ross threatened coldly.
After the group fell silent, Nolan finally broke the tension with his first question, âWho was the spy you sent into Bortenland twenty years ago?â
