My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)

Chapter 124 

Loid’s eyes were lowered. After a long moment of silence, he said, “Nothing. Let’s go!! 

This time, he did not take Lily’s hand. He just continued walking in front of her. From behind, he looked lonely. 

Lily’s eyes flashed with pity. After a moment, she followed him into the hospital as if nothing had happened. 

They made their way to a VIP ward. Loid stopped at the door. He held the door handle loosely for a moment before pushing it open 

Lily followed him in. When she entered the room and saw the patient lying on the bed, her pupils contracted. She strode forward, her expression.cold. 

“What’s going on?” 

Jason Martinez? Frowning, she took his wrist and felt his pulse. Loid’s pupils contracted as well. Unconsciously, he clenched his fists in his pockets. 

“Mindshroud poison? Lily looked up at Loid in surprise. Her expression was grave. 

Loid averted his gaze and nodded. “Yeah. He has a lot more poison in his system than Grandma did, so his condition is worse. 

“Dr. Benedict Aurum, the Supreme Doctor at the research center, helped slow down his circulation and put him in paralysis so that the poison wouldn’t spread too far, but not even he could cure Jason 

“Jason’s health has been worsening lately. 

1. y. We don’t think he’s going to last much longer. That’s 

s why we need to find a way to cure him.” 

Lold hadn’t wanted to ask Lily for help at first. If she could cure the Mindshroud poison, then she would’ve saved Belinda in the first place. Right now, though, be had no other 

choice 

They had to do something about the poison in Hason’s body, or he would die in seven days. 

Lily’s eyes became cold. “Who did this?” she asked trigidly. 

Mindshroud wasn’t a common poison. There were only five people in the world who could get their hands on it 

After a quick check, Lily found that the poison in Jason was the same kind that afflicted Belanda. They were both likely poisoned by the same person. 

She’d always known that Belinda’s poisoning wasn’t as simple as it seemed. At the very least, Belinda wasn’t just a teacher from the rural countryside. 

If the same person really poisoned Jason and Belinda, then Lily would have to pay attention to this matter. 

“It was one of the Hidden Families,” Loid said lowly. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Which one?” Lily asked coldly. 

“We don’t know yet” 

He’d used all of his connections to investigate the matter, but his search hadn’t yielded much results. The Hidden Families were too powerful, Normal investigations were useless against them 

anything. Her eyes were cold. 

Lily pursed her lips without saying anythin 

Shaun hesitated for a moment before finally gathering his courage and asking, “I can see you’re concerned about Jason, Lily. The poison is really deep in his veins now. Can you do something about it? 

Lily glanced at him, but she didn’t answer. She could control the poison, but it probably wouldn’t help much. The only way to save Jason was to cure the poison completely. 

However, she needed Redush for the antidote. There was only one Redushil in the world, and the Weisses owned it. However, the time and date for the Weiss auction hadn’t been decided yet. 

She could control the poison 

poison until she got the Redushil, but Belinda needed it too 

Belinda and Jason were both very important to her. Choosing one over the other would hurt her either way. 

When she didn’t say anything for a while, Shaun began to lose hope. “You can’t help him?” 

Lily lowered her gaze. Her hand was still gripping Jason’s. He laid immobile on the bed, devoid of any signs of life. His handsome face was pale, like a corpse’s. 

After a moment of silence, Lily stood up “You guys can head home first. Don’t wait for me” 

Loid’s expression changed. He opened his mouth to say something, but the words seemed to get stuck in his throat. 

Shaun glanced between the two of them and sighed. “Loid, let’s go. I think she knows how to control the poison.” 

After spending so much time with Lily, he knew her well enough. If she wasn’t sure about something, she would just admit it. 

Loid pursed his lips and nodded. At the door, however, he paused and turned back to Lily. 

“I’ll tell Daniel to wait for you outside. He’ll drive you home whenever you need.” 

Lily hummed in understanding and then fell silent,
