Chapter 844 Counterattack Of The Poison
Ever since Luna was in Dellmoor, she had been staying temporarily at the guesthouse adjacent to the Bowers manor.
Leading a disciplined lifestyle, she was used to waking up early every morning. When Samuel dropped by and pressed the doorbell, she had already woken up and was saying a prayer for her late grandfather in the room.
Seconds later, she stepped out to answer the door and was astounded to see Samuel standing outside the guesthouse.
“Mr. Samuel…” She was caught off guard by the latter’s sudden appearance.
“There’s something I need to ask you.” Samuel cut to the chase.
“Okay! Please come in.” She moved aside to let him in and lead him to the room.
Samuel scanned the room intuitively and was impressed by its cleanliness.
Like Natalie, Luna’s life revolved around a wide variety of herbs. Thus, her body tended to give off a faint refreshing herbal smell. At that moment, there was even a whiff of herbal fragrance in the room.
Samuel caught a glimpse of the baby otter plush on the bed, but he did not even arch his brows.
After serving him a cup of tea, Luna asked courteously, “Mr. Samuel, you mentioned that there’s something you need to ask me. What’s that?”
Samuel unbuttoned his cufflink and rolled up one of his sleeves before stretching his forearm toward her. “You’ll be able to detect it from my pulse.”
Samuel squinted his eyes and instructed, “Carry on.”
“The poison in your body has never been expelled. Grandpa had only come up with a solution to suppress it for at least a century. Nonetheless, it was good enough to prevent the poison from invading your body during your lifetime. Most importantly, this method won’t affect your health. However, the poison seems to have broken free from my grandpa’s suppression. No doubt, it’s still at the early stage, but I foresee your body systems and functions being affected by it sometime later,” Luna explained further somberly.
Samuel knew at once that his speculation was proven right. He asked grimly, “Luna, what on earth is happening?”
Luna furrowed her brows and contemplated for quite a while before something came to her. “It could be due to the drug that accelerates aging. At that time, your body aged at a rapid rate. Subsequently, the poison that was supposed to be suppressed underwent rapid fission too. Even though you were injected with the antidote, it could only restore your body functionality. Nonetheless, the fissioned poison can’t be eliminated…”
That was the only speculation that could explain the current change in Samuel’s body.
“Luna, try to apply Old Mr. Garcia’s method to suppress it again,” Samuel instructed solemnly.
