Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Two days had passed since Matthew went to Saint Grace Nunnery to find Eliza.
62% Anthony didn't know what had happened. He thought, 'Has Matthew been discovered while drugging Eliza? But if he had been discovered, why was there no news until now?' Just as Anthony was considering whether to send someone to Saint Grace Nunnery to check on the situation, Matthew finally returned.
It was pitch black outside. When Matthew returned, Anthony was about to go to bed.
The page boy heard the knock on the door. "Who is it?" "It's me, Matthew." Anthony, who was about to lie down, immediately stopped and asked the page boy to open the door.
After entering the room, Matthew said to the page boy, "You can go now. I have something to say to Anthony." Of course, the page boy didn't go down directly. Instead, he glanced at Anthony for a moment before turning around, and considerately closing the door.
"Matthew, why did it take you so long to cback? Where's Eliza? Didn't you bring her back? "After putting on his clothes, Anthony sat down by the bed and asked first.

I fought with him, and then the man in black ran away. I chased after him, but unfortunately, I couldn't catch him." "A man in black? Was he already in Eliza's courtyard? Or was he like you, going to Eliza to do something to her?" Anthony didn't notice Matthew's strangeness. He just frowned slightly and asked in puzzlement.
Matthew said with a straight face, "He should be the sas me, but I don't know what he wanted to do to Eliza." Anthony said indifferently, "I guess maybe it's because Eliza has offended too many people." Matthew didn't reply. His unusual silence tonight made Anthony give him a strange look.
Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly, "By the way, Matthew, since you haven't made your move yet, you should have brought back the Obedience Potion I gave you, right?" Matthew nodded, took out the small medicine bottle and handed it to him.
Anthony took the medicine bottle and said, "It's getting late tonight, Matthew. Go back and get a good night's sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow." "Alright." After Matthew left, Anthony immediately opened the small medicine bottle to check.
Seeing that the amount of powder inside had not decreased, and that it was still the scolorless and odorless drug he had used before, he was relieved.
He said, "It seems that this is really an unexpected accident." He had to find another opportunity to get Matthew to go to Saint Grace Nunnery again. Thinking this, Anthony put away the small medicine bottle.
However, he didn't know what a big "surprise" he would get after tonight.

"Why is Anthony so late today? He hasn't cout for breakfast yet: Gabriel looked at Anthony's usual seat. Anthony hadn't arrived yet, and everyone at the table couldn't help but notice.
Sophie, as always, showed her concern. "Is Anthony ill again? Why don't you all eat first. I'll go and check on him." "Matthew, you go. Sophie, you stay here and continue eating Gabriel didn't let her run errands, but only called out to Matthew.
Matthew got up slowly, but before he could leave the table, a hurried sound of footsteps cfrom outside. Something is up!" Gabriel and the others looked up.
They saw the young servant who usually served in Anthony's place rushing in, saying anxiously, "Duke, cand check on Mr. Stonor. Something happened to him!" Several people at the table stood up abruptly. "What happened? Is Anthony ill again?" The young servant was on the verge of tears. "He's not ill... He suddenly lost his ability to speak!" "What?" Later, the Stonor family gathered around Anthony's bed, anxiously awaiting the doctor's diagnosis.
After checking, the old doctor withdrew his hand, his brow furrowed deeply. "Has Mr. Stonor eaten anything unusual recently?" Benedict shook his head. "Anthony's health is delicate, and he takes a lot of tonics and medicines daily, so he doesn't have much of an appetite. He rarely eats anything other than his regular meals." The old doctor asked again, "Have he been in contact with anything he shouldn't have?" "I'm afraid you'll have to ask him yourself." But Anthony couldn't speak now. He was so weak that he couldn't even lift a pen, so it was no use asking him now.
Benedict inquired, "So, doctor, what exactly is wrong with him?" "If I'm not mistaken, he has probably been poisoned." "Poisoned?" Gabriel and the others were all stunned.

They found it weird that someone would dare to poison him in them Duke's estate, Berledict asked, "So doctor, in your opinion, is there any way to solve his current situation?" The old doctor certainly understood what they meant.
He sighed and said slowly, "It's not that I don't want to detoxify, but this poison is very complicated. If there is ne antidote, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve the current situation, so you should find someone else." Gabriel frowned. The old doctor's medical skills were among the best.
The fact that even he couldn't detoxify it meant that it was definitely not an ordinary poison.
Gabriel ordered, "Benedict, take my identity token and immediately invite Dr. Chad Garraway to the Duke's estate." 10:22 MI, 11 Apr M Chapter 97 Chad Garraway was the one who had previously detoxified Caleb. Half an hour later, he arrived at the Duke's estate
After understanding the general situation, Chad said thoughtfully. "Since he doesn't go out often the poison must have been brought in by someone else." Gabriel immediately ordered, "Search Anthony's courtyard carefully and find out who has entered and left his place recently Before the latter could investigate, they found something.
A small medicine bottle was found in Anthony's bedside drawer. After examining it, Chad confirmed without hesitation. "This is the poison that Mr. Stonor was poisoned with.
Benedict and the others were quite surprised. "But how could this poison be in his drawer? Could it be that someone poisoned him and then put it here?" Dylan tried to think, but it was no use.
At this moment, the servants who were searching other parts of the room suddenly said, "There's a secret room here!"
