Chapter 98 Chapter 98 62%1 +68) When the servants found a secret room in Anthony's room, Gabriel knew that this matter was probably not that simple.
Therefore, no one was immediately allowed to enter and check the situation inside.
The knowledgeable Chad acted as if he had heard nothing and continued to study the bottle of medicinal powder.
But after two full hours, Chad said to Gabriel with a solemn expression, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid I'm helpless this time." Gabriel didn't expect that the poison would make even this imperial physician say he was helpless.
He asked, "Chad, what exactly is this poison? Why is it so potent?" Chad answered, "The difficulty in curing this poison lies in its extremely complex ingredients, which even contain a rare poisonous herb called Red Snake Scale.
"It is precisely because of this poisonous herb that I say I am helpless because it can only be detoxified by another equally rare herb called Green Snake Flower, but the only Green Snake Flower in town was used a year ago. It is difficult to find another one now." Amidst Chad's sighs, the expressions of Gabriel and the others beceven uglier.
Suddenly, Chad said again, "But Your Excellency, don't worry, although this poison is powerful, it's not lethal. The person who poisoned the Mr. Stonor shouldn't want his life." Gabriel paused, "What do you mean by that, Chad?" "Although this poison has sealed Mr. Stonor's mouth and weakened him, it does not have a significant impact on his body." In other words, even if the poison could not be cured, Anthony would not die. At most, he would no longer be able to speak or get out of bed.
Anthony, who had just regained sconsciousness on the bed, opened his eyes to hear these words.
His eyes widened immediately, and he breathed rapidly with excitement. But no matter how hard he tried to open his mouth, he still couldn't speak.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the end, he fainted again, unable to catch his breath in his excitement.
"Anthony? Anthony!" Although he fainted after hearing Chad's words, it was fortunate that Chad had not left yet. After his treatment, Anthony regained consciousness.
Chad quickly reassured him, "Mr. Stonor, don't worry. If this poison was given to you by someone else, the perpetrator may have an antidote." Only after hearing this did Anthony calm down. After seeing Chad out, Gabriel turned to Anthony.
Knowing that Anthony couldn't speak or write, Gabriel walked straight into the secret chamber.
Inside were all kinds of medicinal herbs and tools, as well as other small bottles identical to the one found in the drawer at Anthony's bedside. Seeing those small bottles, Gabriel frowned.
By the the cout of the secret chamber, everyone could sense the grim expression on their father's face. "Anthony, is this poison yours?" Gabriel's cold words startled Benedict and the others.
When Anthony saw Gabriel enter the secret chamber, it seemed that he already knew what he was facing, so he kept his eyes 1/9 10.22 гП, 11Аpr Chapter 98 +68) downcast and said nothing.
But Gabriel said directly, "You can't speak, but you can move your head. You should be able to nod or shake your head, right?" It was obvious that he was extremely angry at this point. If he didn't get to the bottom of this today, he wouldn't let it go.
Anthony's face paled slightly. Meeting his father's stern gaze, he nodded slowly. "This poison really belongs to you, Anthony? Then how did you end up like this? Where's your antidote?" Benedict asked in surprise.
However, he saw Anthony nod and then shake his head immediately.
"What exactly do you mean?" Benedict was a little confused.
But what he didn't know was that Anthony was the one who felt really wronged.
That obedient potion was his, but it wouldn't mute anyone or make them weak.
Thinking of Matthew, who brought the bottle back, Anthony immediately turned to look at him.
He thought, 'Hurry up and tellwhat happened! Who tampered with my obedient potion? 'Was it Eliza? Or that man in black?' Anthony couldn't speak now, so he could only count on Matthew.
But to his surprise, Matthew didn't react at all to his pleading eyes. A bad feeling suddenly welled up in Anthony's heart.
He thought, 'Could it be that Matthew has already been drugged before me?' Fortunately, at this time, someone with sharp eyes noticed his gaze.
"Anthony, why are you staring at Matthew? Does Matthew know something?" Sophie's voice rang out in the room, successfully drawing everyone's attention to Anthony's gaze, and then they all looked at Matthew. Therefore, no one saw the flash of disgust in Sophie's eyes.
She thought, 'Useless thing. He's a good-for-nothing. No wonder he's such a cripple.' When Sophie Stonor saw Anthony's miserable state, she guessed that it must be Eliza who had caused this.
She thought, 'Anthony has vowed towith such certainty, but this is the result? 'Not only did he fail to bring Eliza back, but he also got himself into trouble. So ridiculous!' Sophie was furious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe thought, 'It is probably impossible to count on these useless guys to help me. I have to figure it out myself.
"Matthew, if you know anything, please tell us. Anthony is in such a bad state, it's worrying," Sophie said with a distressed look.
She wasn't worried that Matthew would say anything unfavorable to her. After all, of the four brothers, Matthew was still obedient to her.
But she didn't expect that he wasn't the sas usual.
16:22 Fri, 11 Apr N NA Chapter 98 Benedict nodded. "Sophie is right. Matthew, just tell us what you know." 62% +68
Under everyone's gaze, Matthew slowly opened his mouth. A second later, he said something that shocked everyone, "Well, I know that Sophie was looking for Anthony and wanted him to bring Eliza back. Anthony gavethis medicine and askedto drug Eliza at Saint Grace Nunnery.
"But unfortunately, I failed. After I cback, I regretted it and felt that I shouldn't have done that, so I drugged Anthony." As soon as he said this, Sophie's expression froze.
"What?" Benedict and Dylan couldn't believe their cars. They both looked at Sophie subconsciously.
Sophie cursed Matthew in her heart while waving her hands in a hurry. "No, don't know what medicine it is. I really don't know anything!" Gabriel's scrutinizing gaze swept over his three children.
He said coldly, "It seems you've all ignored my reminders." Sophie thought he didn't believe her either, and immediately put on a wronged expression. "Father, I really didn't ask them to drug Eliza!" "So you really went?" Just then, Dylan's voice suddenly rose.
He glared at Matthew while asking in disbelief, "You really went to drug Eliza?" ☐
