Chapter 1381 Cut the Cr@p
Elisa furrowed her brow, her expression growing solemn, "What did he eat today?"
Thomas' worry grew evident in his voice as he shared, "Mr. Wickam was with you all day today. We ate together,
but we were both feeling fine. He started developing symptoms shortly after we got back from the casino. I was
going to inform you, but he won't let me..."
Thomas quickly covered Gareth with the two blankets he was holding.
Gareth's hands trembled uncontrollably in that instant, and his palms felt icy cold. Elisa's brow furrowed as she
observed the unsettling scene.
Realizing that Gareth hadn't eaten anything out of the ordinary, Elisa immediately concluded that the poison he had
been given was intended to induce chills.

As she turned to leave, however, Thomas stopped her. "Let me go instead, Ms. Benett,"
He voiced out, "If the enemy exploits the situation and attempts to harm you, it would be catastrophic."
Gareth's top priority now was to keep Elisa by his side, and Thomas had already gone above and beyond to help
him achieve that. Elisa remained unperturbed by the idea of anyone taking advantage of the circumstances to
harm her.
She chuckled and quipped, "Who would do that to me now that the Ganoderma Caligo has been taken?"
Thomas' anxiety grew as he heard her words and looked concerned at Gareth.
"But given Mr. Wickam's current condition, I wouldn't know what to do if something unexpected were to occur while
you're away."
Elisa glanced at Gareth and saw he was shivering under layers of blankets. Thomas had a point. She had to find a
middle ground.
"Then I'll send you the name of the medicines. Please make sure you come back as soon as possible."
"Okay," Thomas replied and immediately set off.
After he left, Elisa quickly switched on the room's air conditioner. The elevated temperature caused her to sweat
profusely, yet she couldn't help but worry about Gareth's condition.
This was the latest, highly potent medication developed in the black market. Its effects were instant and formidable.
If ingested without engaging in sexual activity with a woman, it would cause severe bleeding, ultimately leading to a
violent death.
Even if someone utilized a drug to suppress the toxicity, the poison would persist in the body, leading to a two-stage
reversal. Initially, the body would become intensely hot, followed by an equally chilling phase in the later stages.
There was presently no available antidote.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon reaching those concluding remarks, Elisa's gaze immediately shifted toward Gareth.
Gareth's symptoms showed no signs of improvement.
She had no option but to return to her room and retrieve her blanket to cover him. "Hang in there, Gareth. Thomas
will be back soon."
She couldn't simply stand by and do nothing while watching his critical state.
However, Gareth also noticed Elisa drenched in sweat. Furrowing his brows, he told her, "You... leave..."
Hearing his words, Elisa responded indignantly, "If I were to leave at this critical moment and something happened
to you, wouldn't I be held responsible? I have promised Grandma to look after you, so cut the cr@p!"
Just as Gareth was about to utter another word, a frazzle struck him. His eyelids grew increasingly heavy, and he
eventually succumbed to darkness, losing consciousness.
Upon witnessing Gareth's condition, Elisa swiftly applied pressure to his acupuncture point and administered a
precisely placed needle.
By the time Thomas returned, Elisa's clothes were completely drenched, yet she remained steadfast in her
determination to prepare a medicinal bath for Gareth.
