Chapter 582 Wait for Me
Lincoln was asking for Zayla’s permission. In the next second, he added.
“If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as a yes.” Following that, Lincoln ripped the dance outfit instead of taking it off. A few pieces of rags were thrown on the ground. Zayla had nothing on.
“I’ve seen it.”
“I’ll take responsibility.”
Lincoln helped Zayla put on her pajamas and buttoned her. Suddenly, he found something wrong with her arms.
There were many red marks on her arms, which looked terrifying. Lincoln frowned and immediately grabbed her arms, looking at them closely.
After a while, he cursed in a low voice and quickly changed her clothes. He tucked her in and pulled Ward into the room. “Look at her arms.” Ward hurriedly went to examine Zayla’s arms.
When Ward saw the intertwined red marks, he was shocked. He looked at Lincoln and said. “Lincoln, you have guessed it, right?”
“It’s Five Poisons,” Lincoln squeezed out the words. Ward nodded. Five Poisons was the long-lost forbidden drug of Brevan.
“How did she get poisoned?” “She ate the poisoned food.” Ward was startled and immediately asked, “Food? What kind of food?”
“It’s the health tonic.” Ward was more shocked when he heard that. His family had practiced medicine for generations, According to the record, the first person to suffer from Five Poisons was the first queen of Kovis.
The poison was also put in the food, and that food was the health tonic. History had repeated itself surprisingly. No one had expected it to happen again today.
“The poison has started to spread. I can only slow down the process, but I can’t eliminate it.”
“Lincoln, you know… This poison has been lost for a long time, and I have never seen it. There are very few records about it, let alone the formula of the antidote.” Ward had only read about Five Poisons in medical books, but it only gave a description of the spread of the poison.
In the beginning, the victim had no symptoms. Later, there would be frightening red marks intertwined on the skin. At last, the marks would spread all over the body. The skin would rot, and the victim would die in pain.
Ward had always thought the description was exaggerating, but now he didn’t think so. Because the symptoms of the poison at the beginning were exactly the same as Zayla’s now.
“Clarence!” Lincoln stressed each word furiously.
Lincoln immediately ordered Aziel to guard the door and protect Zayla. He asked Ward to use medicine to delay the spreading of the poison. Lincoln was going to see Clarence. He would get the antidote at all costs! He said inwardly, “Zayla, wait for me.”
The temperature was low near the snow-capped mountains.
Jefferson’s health didn’t allow him to take a long trip, so he stayed at the base and waited. He had waited for so long two times in his life, and this was the second time.
As night fell, Clarence and Miriam arrived at the base almost at the same time. Clarence looked arrogant. At this point, he thought he stood a chance to win.
After all, he had a deep foundation in the empire during the past decades. He had a close relationship with the cabinet and got the noblemen on the same boat as him. But Jefferson told Clarence that the Powell family had been completely controlled by Joe, and all the people involved with him, even those who had dined at the same table as him, were all taken away at the same time.
Anyone who was related to the Powell family wouldn’t be spared. This time, Clarence had failed completely.
He had planned and recruited people for decades. He was only one step away from the highest position. But at this moment, everything vanished into thin air!
His day had gone. Clarence slouched and knew that there would be no turning point, However, he couldn’t put aside his noble dignity after staying in a high position for years, considering the past dominance of the Powell family.
Even if he would be doomed, he would humiliate Jefferson, who was a sick man.
“Jefferson, what are you proud of?”
“As for the two women you love most in your life, one has become my partner, and the other has been by my side for nearly thirty years.”
