But Bella said calmly, “Step aside.”
Carol was in excruciating pain. Touching her now would only make her feel worse.
Romeo set Bella down, and she immediately opened the acupuncture kit and inserted the needles into several of Carol’s key points.
Carol’s shaking lessened, but her face was still pale, and she looked weak and listless.
Chaper 973Mirabella continued to administer the injections, simultaneously sending one of her subordinates to fetch the recently developed pills from her lab.
After swallowing one, Carol seemed to regain some strength. With her eyelids barely lifted, she managed to whisper, “Thank you, Mirabella.”
She was feeling much better now.
At least the pain wasn’t as excruciating as before.
“What’s the need for formalities? Just rest up,’ Mirabella said as she put away the needles. “This pill should keep you safe for the next 12 hours.”
In other words, the poison wouldn’t act up for the next 12 hours.
She could finally get some rest.
“Bella, if the poison in her system keeps acting up at irregular intervals, what can we do? Is there a quick way to alleviate her pain?” Clark asked.
“These two pills, only take them if absolutely necessary,’ Mirabella handed over a small bottle. “They’re very potent, and I worry her body might not be able to handle it.
Clark nodded, securing the bottle in his grasp.
“We have a plane waiting outside. Once we’re back home, I’ll need to run some blood tests.”
Mirabella wasn’t sure what kind of poison Carol had been exposed to, so for now, all she could do was help with the pain and figure out a treatment plan later.Looking at Carol, who was lying weakly on the couch, Mirabella said gently, “She used to treat herself with poison to counteract the poison. This has made the toxin in her body increasingly complex and difficult to neutralize.”
Carol lifted her weak eyelids, looking at Mirabella in surprise. She hadn’t expected the young woman to know about her unique form of treatment.
“The medicine you hid in the vitamin C bottle, I took some for testing,”
Mirabella explained. “I apologize for barging into your room without your permission.”
“I know you were helping Clark find clues. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here. So, it’s me who should thank you,’ Carol weakly smiled. “Thank you, Mirabella. I owe you my life twice over”
Once was when Chester attacked her, and Mirabella risked her life to save her.
And now, with this poison. Bella had helped her detox three times since yesterday!
“You also saved me. We’re like family. There’s no need for thanks,’ Mirabella looked at Clark. “Can you carry Carol, or should I have my people do it?”
The plane was waiting outside; it was time to leave.
“Lean do it,” Clark stated confidently.
“Then, let’s get going.”
As soon as Mirabella finished speaking, Romeo, standing next to them, scooped her up in his arms.
“Oh, by the way, Bella is my sister, and this is my brother-in-law, Romeo,’ Clark introduced formally.Only then did Carol take a good look at the man next to her. She hadn’t noticed anyone else when she was in excruciating pain.
Now, knowing that Romeo was Edith’s future brother-in-law and the current richest man, she was surprised. No wonder Edith mentioned that her sister and brother-in-law would see this through.
They certainly had the means to do so.
“Hello” Carol simply nodded, her pale face wearing a mild smile.
“Hello, Carol” Romeo also greeted her, then turned to Mirabella in his arms and said, “Everything’s been arranged back home. Let’s leave.”
The fish were practically jumping into their net.
“Okay, Mirabella nodded.
Clark gently lifted Carol, “Does it hurt?”
Though Carol shook her head, her face flashed a pained expression. Clark felt a pang of guilt, “Did I touch your wound? I’m sorry. I’m so clumsy.
“I’m fine,’ Carol reassured him with a smile.
Seeing her pale smile, Clark decided that he’d make sure to help her regain her strength when they got back. She was much too thin and lightweight now.
Chaper 974The plane was already idling outside.
Jack, flanked by his crew, Joyce looked at the boss with reluctance, “Boss, we’ll come find you in a few days. Take care of yourself back home, and if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call us””
“Yeah, boss. My phone will be on 24/7, ready to serve. If there’s any danger in the future, don’t bear it alone. Think of us first? Jones instructed.
“Jack, Jones, you guys look so worried. Boss, you need to take care of yourself. Dont let yourself get hurt anymore,’ Tom advised, his eyes filled with concern too.
Mirabella’s eyes softened, “I understand.”
“Goodbye, Boss.”
“Mr. McMillian, take good care of our boss.”
“Our boss is just a delicate young lady who needs to be looked after. We’re counting on you, Mr.
McMillian.”
“Don’t worry, I will, Romeo nodded at them, then carried Mirabella up the airplane staircase.
Meanwhile, Clark was struggling to carry Carol.
“Why don’t you put me down?” Carol saw his pained expression, guessing that he might have hurt himself. She firmly said, “Let me down. I can walk.”
“Don’t move, you’ll hurt me.”Carol obediently stopped wriggling, only looking at him with concern, “Are you sure you can do this?”
“Are you doubting me? You haven’t seen what I’m capable of.”
Carol suspected he was boasting, but she had no evidence.
Clark, satisfied, carried her up the airplane staircase step by step, “If I weren’t injured, not to mention one of you, I could carry two.”
“Do you want two?”
“I was just making a point, not what you’re thinking.” Clark hurriedly explained.
Next.
The plane door closed, and Joyce and the crew watched the plane fly away with reluctance. Jack suddenly remarked, “Doesn’t our boss seem like she’s visiting her family and then returning to her husband’s house.”
“What the hell are you thinking about every day?” Jones smacked him on the back of his head, “They’re far away now. Why are you still watching?”
“Boss didn’t have this many problems when she was with us. Ever since she recognized her roots, there have been so many issues.”
“That’s not entirely true. Before, all the money the boss made went into the Melton family’s pocket, even cleaning up their messes. In comparison, I prefer the Collins family.”
“Isn’t that obvious? Comparing animals with humans?”
On the plane, Romeo carried Mirabella into a room to rest.Due to her injuries, Mirabella was mentally and physically exhausted.
Meanwhile, Clark discussed with the girl in his arms, “When we go back, do you and your brother want to stay at my place?”
He owned several private villas – some overlooking the mountains, some with a sea view, some in the bustling city center, and some in quiet suburbs.
“No need.’ Carol declined.
She was worried that it would give the Collins family the wrong impression.
“If you’re uncomfortable living in a house under my name, I can change it to yours.” Clark played with her hand, “In any case, I must live with you.
Different rooms, different floors, as long as I can take care of you.”
“With your current situation, the poison might act up at any time. Your brother has other things to take care of, and he can’t watch over you every second. It’s better to have someone at home with you.”
Clark added, “If it’s left to the staff, I won’t feel assured.”
Chaper 975Carol had been pestered by him for quite a while, ultimately surrendering to his persistence with a weary sigh.
Meanwhile.
Serena dragged Louisa to the shopping mall. Her mocd finally improved after swiping her card for about a million dollars.
Clasping her mother’s hand fondly, she cooed, “Mom, you’re the best! You bought me so many things.
Even though I’m not your biological child, you treat me so well.”
Serena had used the excuse of not knowing what to wear or accessorize with for her date with Martin as if everything in her wardrobe was not fancy or mature enough.
