Maria added,

“Ma’am Oriana is really nice and fun to be around. She always comes up with new ideas to make the old lady happy. Since you got married sir, I can attest to grandma being much more happier. By the way, grandma and Oriana left some desserts for you. I’ll get it for you.

Maria walked into the kitchen and took out the dessert that Oriana had made. It was a cupcake with strawberries icing.

Deacon didn’t like dessert. Of course, Maria was aware. But she went to the kitchen and brought him the cakes that Oriana baked.

Deacon took a spoon and took a bite.

“Young master, is it yummy?” Mrs. Maria inquired.

Deacon nodded and muttered,

“Yea, it’s very sweet.”

Deacon pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. A dim light shone from the yellow lamp. A slender figure curled up on the soft big bed. Oriana had already fallen asleep.

Deacon walked over, he lowered his tall body, and squatted on one knee. He stretched out his hands and caressed her face.

Oriana’s face was soft, and her skin smooth as silk.

He leaned over and his thin lips rested on her forehead, as he placed soft kisses on it.

He had seen her calls, but had deliberately not answered. For he knew that once he answered the call, that he was bound to rush home to her.

Before Oriana, Deacon lost all his ego and pride.

“Oriana, I was really angry today because I didn’t want you to know my dark past. As a husband, I hope that you can always listen to me.”

Deacon pressed his head into her hair and whispered,

“Oriana, I know that I’m sick, but if you can’t cure me, what will you do?”

“I do know that marriage is based on trust, but growing up, I had no one teach me what trust meant. Everything I wanted always slipped through my fingers like fine sand. You’re just twenty, and you’re still growing. In the future, you will meet more prominent men than me, and they may all be better than I am. By that time, will you still want me?”

Oriana had already fallen asleep, thus she couldn’t give answers to his worries.

The

A morning when Oriana woke up, she did not meet Deacon. She got into the shower and washed up. Once she was done, she left for the Ivory Council.

Oriana went to get her blood test results. Her guess was correct. The mandala flower poison was extremely violent. The last poison test had affected one–third of her precious blood.

Before Joyce died ten years ago, she had spent time nurturing Oriana’s blood. It was the best thing that she could do for her daughter.

Joyce’s medical skills were truly unparalleled. An individual without knowledge in medicine would have instantly died the moment the poison entered into the individual’s body.

Oriana was quite aware that carrying out a second poison test was dangerous because her blood had been affected by the first test.

However, Oriana’s mind was made up and she booked a room in an hotel to carry out the second test. During the first test, Marvin had barged in on her, which led to a fight between him and Deacon, Oriana definitely didn’t want a repeat of the first incident.

After Oriana left, a copy of her blood test was handed to Marvin by Phil.

“Young master, what are you gonna do now?” Phil inquired respectfully.

Marvin looked at the report and his eyes widened for a second. He was greatly shocked that Oriana had undergone the mandala flower poison test unscathed.

It turned out that her blood had a great resistance to poisonous substances like the mandala flower.

“Where did she go?” Marvin asked Phil.

Phil forwarded the location to Marvin’s phone..

“Oriana has just entered into a room in Starzeal.”

“She must gone to try out the poison again!

Marvin grabbed his car keys from the table and hurried out of the institute.

In the hotel room.

Oriana sat on the sofa and pushed the long needle into her veins.

After her previous experience, Oriana thought that her body was now familiar to the the mandala flower, and the pains wouldn’t be as severe as the previous time. But Oriana experienced a more excruciating pain than the previous time.

From a medical point of view, the poison had already created a certain degree of immunity to her blood. The defense strength of her blood had dropped, and the poison had become more effective.

Oriana’s face became extremely wan, as a fountain of sweat appeared on her forehead. She felt as if her bones were being crushed to shreds.

Oriana endured the surging pains and quickly picked up a pen. She wrote down some important medical equations on the paper. But, there was still one equation missing.

Oriana felt that she was about to succeed. Victory was within her reached. She had developed an antidote!

However, one important equation was still missing.

Oriana wanted thinking about it critically, but her strength failed her as she fell off the chair landing weakly on the tiled–ground.

Her nose began dripping of blood. She touched her mask and blood were all over it.

Oriana made to get the needle. She stretched out her hand, but at the moment, a piercing sound whistled in her ear, and her head was spinning.

She could only see nothing.

Oriana who had fallen to the ground like a deflated ball, reached out and groped on the ground for a while.

“Where’s the needle? She cried inwardly.

Oriana’s vision slowly turned dark, and she was about to faint.

The room door was suddenly pushed open and someone walked in.

“Oriana, Oriana! Open your eyes and don’t drift to sleep. The mandala flower will damage your brain, so you must not sleep!”

Oriana heard as her name was being called. She fought hard and opened her eyes, before her was Marvin.

Marvin was here!

But what Oriana saw was not Marvin, but Deacon. Marvin’s face had quickly changed to Deacon’s. She hooked her lips weakly and said softly,

“Mr. Armstead, you’re here.”

Marvin had knowledge of the mandala flower, and what it was capable of doing. Once the poison attacked, an individual was bound to become confused.

“Don’t move, I’ll take out the poison now.”

Marvin took out a sharp medical knife and made a cut on her fingertips. As expected of a golden knife, it made the wound on her fingertip extremely shallow.

Oriana felt the pain in her body gradually ease, and slowly it disappeared. However, she was unconscious, and not fully awake.

“Take a rest, you’ll he fine soon. There’s blood on your face. I’ll go get you a towel.” Marvin made to stand up and walked to the bathroom. But two hands clasped his waist, and Oriana’s soft body was now close to him.

“Mr. Armstead, hug me for a while. I’m so cold.” She murmured.

Her voice was soft and weak. Marvin could feel her cold body temperature. The coldness of her body was the most direct warning that her body gave her.

Marvin took her hands away.

“Oriana, you’re mistaken, I’m not your Mr. Armstead.

Oriana really couldn’t understand what he had just said. Her brain was still not awakened. The dizziness that she felt almost made her fall to the ground, but she held tighter to Marvin, preventing herself from falling-

“Mr. Armstead, are you still angry with me? Don’t be angry anymore, Let’s reconcile already. I’m so cold, and I need your hug.” She pleaded tenderly.

Marvin’s body stiffened. He stopped trying to push her away.

“Oriana, do you like Deacon that much? In order to save him, you put yourself in harm’s way.”

Marvin’s eyes fell on the piece of paper that she had written the equation, and his eyes flashed in surprise. She had really unlocked the equations.

Unfortunately, she was one step behind.

Marvin diverted his gaze to her face.

“Oriana, your poison test has finally come to an end. It’s pitiful that you weren’t able to save Deacon even after ruining your blood.”

Oriana could not a hear a thing that Marvin said. Marvin looked at the mask on her face. There were blood on the white mask. He slowly reached out and removed the mask from her face.

Oriana’s palm–sized face was now hare. Underneath her eyes was her nose, and below her nose was her succulent lips.

Marvin blinked at the sight of Oriana’s face. He had fantasized about her countless times in his mind. He had imagined what she’ll look like, but now that the girl was in his arms and her face bare, Marvin couldn’t believe his eyes, as he was mesmerized by Oriana’s beauty. Her paleness made her look even more beautiful.

Marvin reached out and wiped the blood from her nose with the sleeve of his white shirt.

As a doctor, Marvin had a serious cleanliness addiction, but now that his sleeves were stained, he didn’t mind at all.

Feeling his gentleness, Oriana reached out and hugged him again.

Marvin stretched out his hands slowly and wrapped it around her in a lug, as he himself was desperate to fill the warmth or coldness of her body.

“Oriana, divorce him.” He said softly.

Outside the room, Pamela looked at the closed door, she took out her phone she dailed Deacon’s number.

The phone rang once and was connected. Deacon’s deep and magnetic voice passed over.

“Hello.”

“Mr. Armstead, come over to Starzeal immediately. Oriana is in a hotel room now, and Marvin is with her. They have been inside for a while.”

Deacon was silent for a second, and he wanted ending the call.

“Mr. Armstead, I think that there’s something wrong with Oriana’s body. She had checked her blood in the research institute. Do you know about this?”
