Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 

Morris heard this for the first time, and a flash of displeasure crossed his face. 

Hannia was momentarily shocked, her expression dazed. She never thought her family would use poison to control her. 

Once she understood what that meant, Ilannia quickly said, “Ms Leach, I need to leave. I might do something crazy if I stay.” 

With that, she tried to pull away from Cherise and leave. 

But Cherise held on tightly, not letting her go. 

Even though Cherise knew this was a private family issue, she really wanted to understand what this poison was all about. 

Morris moved to her side. “Cherise, this isn’t worth the risk; we need to be careful.” 

Cherise nodded, signaling him to trust her. “Let me try this. While my current skills might not get rid of the poison completely, I might be able to stop it from taking over.” 

Since she got the snake–shaped weapon from Camellia, from which she had taken out two tiny poisonous worms, Cherise had been reading lots of books on poison. 

One of those was an old manuscript given to her by Marlon, talking about what court doctors dealt with poison a hundred years ago. 

The book didn’t explain how to get rid of the embedded creatures but did offer tips on how to control them. 

Written in old–fashioned writing, it wasn’t easy for most people to read, but she felt the need to try, knowing she might need this knowledge someday. 

Hannia exclaimed, “There is no hope unless a really powerful specialist helps me. I don’t think any exist now. Still, if you want to give it a try, go ahead; I’m already lost and homeless. Feel free to do whatever you want!” 

Cherise asked Morris to get a needle and a vial of the strange liquid she used before to eliminate the worms. 

The readings said that the best time to control the poison was in the first hours after it entered the body. Since Hannia had just left the Hawkins family, Cherise believed they were still in that crucial window. From her acupuncture kit, she picked out the four thinnest needles and dipped them in the vial. Remembering what she read, she carefully inserted the needles into four key points around where the poison was located. 

Morris watched, his mind racing with plans. 

Hannia felt only a slight sting from the needles; she was mostly anxious, realizing she might never go back to that house again. 

Cherise stayed calm, watching carefully as the process continued. 

After a moment, her eyes lit up with excitement. 

Morris noticed her lips curve into a little smile, showing that things were going well. 

In fact, the worms trapped by the needles were starting to struggle. 

Hannia shifted her shoulders and said, “I feel kind of itchy; I wish I had something to scratch with!”

“Just two more minules Cherise said. 

Hannia held back the urge to scratch and replied, “Oh! Okay,”

Morris handed Cherise a glass of lemonade, which she sipped slowly while focusing on the spot where the worms were 

When the two minutes were up, Hannia said, “Ms. Leach, I don’t feel itchy anymore; it’s like I can’t feel anything at all” 

Cherise checked the area and saw that the dark worms were turning a light lavender color. 

This confirmed what she learned from her readings–that she was succeeding. 

She carefully pulled out the four needles and said, “For now, the insects are under your control; no one can manipulate you anymore. But I haven’t figured out how to totally get rid of them yet. 

“Your daily life won’t be affected for now, but your future depends on how things go.” 

Hannia felt a huge wave of relief; she hadn’t expected Cherise to control the poison, and a deep respect grew inside her.
