Chapter 72\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRetreat!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before those thugs could leave, their path was blocked by police cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI called the cops,\u201d Tristan explained to Genevieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, a large troop of police officers rushed in. All of them gasped when they saw the chaotic scene inside the mausoleum.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chief police officer spotted Tristan at a glance and was stunned for a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hale,\u201d he said in greeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan nodded a little in return and said concisely, \u201cZachary Lambert is involved in the illegal development of prohibited drugs and attempted murder. All the evidence is right here. I\u2019ll leave the rest to you guys.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you very much for providing us with the tip,\u201d said the chief police officer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wasting no time, he waved and ordered, \u201cTake all of them away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary was dragged out. As he passed Genevieve, he glared at her and Tristan resentfully and shouted at the top of his lungs, \u201cJust you wait! I won\u2019t spare you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long for the police to get the situation under control. After they cleared out the thugs, the forensic team gradually arrived and started to collect evidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the commotion was over, Heron, Tristan, and Genevieve were the only ones left in the mausoleum.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heron looked at Tristan with a complicated gaze before he finally gave him a firm handshake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you so much for saving my life, sir,\u201d said Heron.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan hummed calmly in acknowledgment, but his gaze never left Genevieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour injuries.\u201d Genevieve walked up to him and grabbed his wrist in an instant, saying, \u201cThese have to be taken care of immediately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The realization hit Heron, and he echoed, \u201cYes, you\u2019re right! There\u2019s a medical kit inside. I\u2019ll go grab it right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, he rushed back with an unsteady gait, holding a red sandalwood medical kit in his hands. The kit was a vintage piece with intricate cloud patterns carved on it. The edges had been worn smooth by the passage of time. It was clear that it had\u00a0<\/p>\n
been around for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heron put the medical kit on the ground and said urgently, \u201cHere! This kit has everything you need!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve didn\u2019t hesitate and went down on one knee to open the medical kit. In an instant, the strange aroma of a mix of\u00a0<\/p>\n
several medicinal herbs filled the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were dozens of small compartments in the box. It had everything\u2013needles, mortar and pestle, white porcelain bottles, and even some small custom blades that were as thin as paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All of them were the prized tools that the medical practitioners of the Yates family always carried with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s gaze swept over the cuts on Tristan\u2019s arm, which were already starting to turn black. She was stunned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s poison hemlock,\u201d she uttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heron gasped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan, however, behaved as if he weren\u2019t the one who was injured. He didn\u2019t even frown. He just kept his deep gaze fixed on\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 72\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there a way to treat it?\u201d he asked calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve simply gave a one\u2013word answer. \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she drew the thinnest silver blade from the medical kit and lightly seared the tip over the candle flame, moving it so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBear with it a little.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without hesitation, she turned her wrist and sliced the wounds accurately. She moved at the speed of light, but her force was perfectly controlled, only slicing the surface of Tristan\u2019s skin. She then pressed his wounds, forcing the dark, poisoned blood to ooze out. It ran like black ink and carried a foul stench.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan let out a faint groan. His forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he didn\u2019t move a muscle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve was very focused. She poured out some dark green medicinal powder from a white porcelain bottle and sprinkled it evenly over the wounds. Then, as her fingers danced swiftly in the air, dozens of needles appeared between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heron was so frightened that he let out a gasp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He clearly saw Genevieve accurately piercing the needles into vital spots on Tristan\u2019s arm, sealing off pathways before the poison could reach his heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the last needle in place, the blood streaming from Tristan\u2019s arm finally changed color, turning from the foul black to a deep crimson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve let out a deep sigh of relief as sweat covered her temples.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She removed the needles and bandaged his wounds swiftly with some clean gauze. It was just like the day they met officially for the first time, when she bandaged his wound in the stairwell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
