Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 196

Orion explained, "As the name suggests, people who are poisoned with Luna Stalk will have an episode every month on the 15th. When the poison breaks out, those poisoned will have great strength. Their eyes will turn red, and they will go bersek and go on a killing spree."

Orion asked, "Danielle, how did you get poisoned? It's only the beginning of the month and you have had an episode, which means that the poison in your body has reached the later stage. Soon, the poison will completely corrupt your self-awareness and you will not be able to control yourself. You will become a killing machine, your bodily functions will rapidly decline and you will die.

"Every episode is chipping away your life. You must not get too emotional again." Orion wondered who would be so vicious to use this deadly poison on Danielle.

Howard, Vivian, and Xavier were all frightened by Orion's description. They wondered how Danielle got poisoned with Luna Stalk. They certainly did not want to lose the youngest member of their family now that they had found her. They still hadn't pampered her enough.

"Chief, since you recognize this poison, do you know where we can find the antidote? Please help us," pleaded Vivian as she cried uncontrollably.

Xavier seemed to be frozen in place. He noticed Danielle's eyes went red for an instant when they were attending Jacob's birthday party, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

He blamed himself for being so careless. Danielle had been helping the family ever since they found her. Xavier was appalled to think that Danielle had been tormented by the poison when she had yet to enjoy the warmth of the family.

Orion said regrettably, "I also wish to help Danielle. Unfortunately, this poison is considered potent even among poisons. That's why it was eradicated. No one who was poisoned by this has ever survived, and no one has ever developed an antidote for it."

Upon hearing this, Vivian trembled violently. She couldn't bear the pain of losing her daughter again.

Vivian exclaimed, "Honey, tell me, how did you get poisoned? Who poisoned you? I will kill the person who poisoned you."

"Dear, calm down. Maybe we can find someone who can cure this poison," comforted Howard as he hugged Vivian.

"Yes, we have to find the antidote. Right. Find the antidote. But where can we find it?" Vivian mumbled.

"Mom, Dad, Xavier, my master, Cloud Waldstein, has been looking for the antidote. Don't worry. I won't die easily," Danielle said with a grin.

Vivian thought, 'Since Danielle is so incredible, her master must be very capable too. There is hope.'

Howard said to Danielle, "Honey, tell me, who poisoned you?"

Danielle's gaze turned cold at the mention of this. She explained, "When I was abducted, the main culprit ordered the traffickers to feed me Luna Stalk. Fortunately, I met Cloud when I was a child. He has been looking for an antidote to suppress the poison in my body all these years."

"What? Danielle, haven't you been investigating the person behind this? Have you found any clues?" Howard was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging. The traffickers actually fed Danielle poison when she was so young. They were crazy. Howard vowed to make them pay when he found the culprits.

"I didn't find any clues so far." Danielle shook her head.

Vivian hugged Danielle and burst out crying. Xavier wiped his tears to the side.

Reluctant to see Danielle die because of the poison, Orion said, "Maybe there is still hope for you. The people in Whitepool Village are proficient in poison while the people in Blackpool Village are well-versed in handling venomous creatures."

Danielle now understood why she felt something different about the villagers. It turned out that they were proficient in handling venomous creatures. No wonder the villagers in Blackpool Village stay secluded from the outside world.

"Chief, since the people in Whitepool Village are good at poison, it means that they might be able to heal Danielle. Let's go to find them now." Invigorated by this information, Vivian wanted to set out immediately.

Danielle advised, "Mom, let's solve the crisis of the village and find Matthew first. The poison in my body has been suppressed temporarily, and I won't have another episode for a while." She believed that the poison in her body was not so easy to cure. If it was so easily cured, she would have been cured long ago.

Orion advised against it. "Please think this over carefully. I'll help you keep an eye out for Matthew. That place is really dangerous, so you really shouldn't go there."

Danielle still had a lot to do and couldn't afford to wait here. The longer they waited, the higher the chances Matthew would be in danger.

"Danielle, we'll go with you. You can't go in alone," Howard urged, afraid that Danielle would sneak off on her own.

If Howard hadn't said this, Danielle would have actually gone alone. Now she couldn't sneak away by herself.

Danielle replied, "Alright."

Orion said, "Since all of you've made up your minds, get ready. I'll take you there. But remember, you must come back before sunset regardless of whether or not you find Matthew. You must remember this."

Orion was worried about their safety.

"Chief, don't worry. I'm wearing a watch." Xavier showed Orion the watch on his wrist.

Orion rode a tricycle and sent the Darling family to the mountains outside the village. They arrived at a large entrance to a cave. Orion said, "This is as far as I can take you. Be careful and stay safe."

"Thank you, Chief." Danielle thanked Orion with a nod.

Outside the cave, Danielle reminded them, "Mom, Dad, Xavier, stay behind me. I'll lead the way. Be careful not to get separated when we're inside."
