The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2013

Frank calmly explained, "I've never encountered the pill that the elder gave me, but I have a feeling if I recklessly attempt to counteract it, it would get worse rather than help matters."

The members of Mystic Sky Guild were left silent in turn, while Winter walked up and crouched by Frank's bed.

Taking his hand and pressing it against her cheek, tears welled up in her eyes as she cried, "Please, you have to survive this! H-How could I live if anything were to happen to you?"

Frank, however, chuckled at her words. "What are you saying, silly? You should do your best and live even if I die. Have you forgotten about your mother?"

"I…" Winter was stumped.

Unable to come up with a response, she threw herself at Frank and bawled.

"Okay, okay…"

Frank flashed a pained smile, patting her head while looking at everyone in the room. "What's with all the long faces? I'm still alive, and that geezer can't do anything to me if I find the evidence I need in three days."

Despite his optimism, the members of Mystic Sky Guild were simply not cheering up and remained scowling.

"Darling, I heard that you were poisoned? What happened?"

That was when the door opened, and a dazzling figure entered.

Frank looked up and saw that it was Vicky Turnbull, smiling as always but also appearing worried.

"Hey." He nodded, feigning nonchalance. "It's nothing—I just made a wager against an elder of the Martial Alliance. Just had a little episode when the poison took effect, but I'm better now."

"Better? You were puking blood," Tidus muttered.
