The doctor examines him but is unable to identify the poison or suggest an antidote, leaving Finley feeling hopeless despite the doctor\u2019s renowned expertise.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
As hours pass, Finley reaches out to Mr. Lawson, a powerful contact known for his connections, seeking the best detoxification expert in the country.

The chapter ends with Finley\u2019s desperate hope for a cure amid the mounting dangers he faces.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivica shook off her initial shock, her voice barely above a whisper as she said, \u201cOh\u2026 okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her hands trembled as she scrambled to grab her phone, fingers fumbling over the screen while her mind spun wildly. Something about his reaction didn\u2019t add up\u2014it felt far too intense for just a simple fall.<\/p>\n
Could he have been attacked? Who in their right mind would dare to harm her son so cruelly?<\/p>\n
She knew her son\u2019s reputation all too well\u2014he was the one who usually bullied others, never the victim.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Leopold and Honora entered the room. Vivica hurried over to them, anxiety thick in her voice. \u201cLeopold, Honora, do you have any idea what happened to your brother\u2019s leg?\u201d<\/p>\n
Honora hesitated, her eyes flickering with uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Leopold, however, was quick to speak, his tone sharp and accusing. \u201cIt has to be that wild girl, Larissa!\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on to explain that he had rushed to Starlight Media to inform Finley about the incident, and that they had just witnessed Larissa behaving disrespectfully toward him in the garage.<\/p>\n
Vivica\u2019s anger flared like a wildfire. \u201cShe\u2019s gone way too far this time! If she\u2019s responsible for this, I swear I\u2019ll make her pay!\u201d Her voice was fierce, trembling with fury. \u201cI want this investigated immediately! Find out exactly what happened, now!\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Finley dragged his injured leg back to his room, the pain evident as he slammed the door behind him. He collapsed onto his bed and rolled up his pant leg, his face twisted in agony as he stared at the spot where his tendon had been severed.<\/p>\n
Minutes dragged on, each second heavier than the last. Just as his patience began to wear thin, a gentle knock came at the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinley, the doctor\u2019s here,\u201d Vivica\u2019s voice called softly from the other side.<\/p>\n
Relief washed over him like a cool breeze. He struggled to his feet, favoring his injured leg as he limped to the door and opened it to reveal the elderly doctor clutching a worn medical bag.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, you should wait outside,\u201d Finley said, trying to steady his voice despite the pain.<\/p>\n
Vivica gave him a worried glance but nodded silently and retreated.<\/p>\n
Once the door clicked shut, the doctor\u2019s gaze immediately shifted to Finley\u2019s leg. \u201cLet me examine your leg, young master,\u201d he said gently.<\/p>\n
Finley shook his head, a shadow crossing his face. \u201cIt\u2019s not just my leg. I need you to figure out what kind of poison is in my system.\u201d<\/p>\n
The doctor\u2019s eyes widened in surprise. \u201cPoison?!\u201d He quickly set down his bag and motioned for Finley to sit on the bed, beginning a careful and thorough examination.<\/p>\n
As the doctor worked, his expression grew increasingly serious, deep lines forming on his brow as he concentrated.<\/p>\n
After what felt like an eternity, he exhaled deeply, a note of frustration in his voice. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, young master. I can\u2019t identify this poison.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finley\u2019s heart sank. \u201cIs there anything that can counteract its effects?\u201d<\/p>\n
The doctor shook his head, his face grim. \u201cIf I can\u2019t even determine what it is, how could I possibly know the antidote?\u201d<\/p>\n
A cold shiver ran down Finley\u2019s spine. The Judson family doctor was renowned throughout the country for his skill and knowledge. If even he was at a loss, was there truly any hope left?<\/p>\n
Hours passed after the doctor\u2019s departure. Finally, Finley pulled out his phone and dialed a number with a steady hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lawson, do you know any experts who specialize in detoxification?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Lawson, the influential owner of Regal City\u2019s largest auction house, was known for his vast network of powerful contacts.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d Mr. Lawson replied without hesitation. \u201cThe best detoxification expert in the country is also the most skilled poison master. Why do you ask? Have you been poisoned?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Finley admitted quietly. \u201cMoney is no object if you can find someone who can cure me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Lawson\u2019s tone grew cautious. \u201cMr. Judson, it\u2019s not about the money. This poison mistress is notoriously elusive. She only contacts me when she has rare, new herbs to auction\u2014sometimes a single plant sells for over ten million. She certainly isn\u2019t short on cash.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
