Chapter 274\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa met Draven\u2019s smug gaze with a cold, disdainful smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then the confident look on his face faltered. The situation was this dire, so why wasn\u2019t she panicking?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor\u2019s brow furrowed even deeper. \u201cHe\u2019s right,\u201d he said gravely. \u201cI try to save them one at a time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
ase, I can only\u00a0<\/p>\n
At those words, a new wave of panic washed over the victims, including Honora. Each of them prayed they would be the one chosen, not the one left behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFinley\u2026\u201d Honora whimpered, her voice weak as she clutched his arm. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to make it. By the time we get to a hospital\u2026 it will be too late for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her skin, lips, and fingernails were already a deathly shade of purple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t let anything happen to you!\u201d Finley vowed, squeezing her hand. He turned to the doctor, pleading, \u201cDoctor, please, save my sister. She\u2019s so young, so talented. She doesn\u2019t deserve to die like this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor glanced at Honora, then shook his head. \u201cHer poisoning is too advanced. Treating her will be the most difficult. I must start with those who have been less severely affected.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then moved toward a woman who was showing the mildest symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A shadow fell over Honora\u2019s eyes. She couldn\u2019t believe it. Was she really going to die here, in the prime of her life?\u00a0<\/p>\n
No. She refused to accept this!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley, feeling helpless and desperate, suddenly remembered something. He scanned the crowd until his eyes landed on Mr. Lawson from the auction house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lawson!\u201d he shouted. \u201cYou said you know the poison expert! Can you cal come immediately, or at least ask for a quick antidote!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ask her to\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Lawson glanced at Larissa. The poison expert was standing right here, but since Larissa hadn\u2019t made a move, he knew she had her reasons. He couldn\u2019t act on his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Judson,\u201d he said apologetically, \u201cas I\u2019ve told you, the poison expert only contacts me. And I already informed you that she will be at the auction house tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that avenue closed, Finley\u2019s fists clenched. He let go of Honora and strode toward the doctor. \u201cDoctor, you will save Honora first!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor, affronted by the blatant threat, snapped, \u201cYou\u2019re one of the Judsons, aren\u2019t you? My decisions as a physician are based on medical priority, not on who can threaten me the loudest. If you delay me from treating another patient, you will be responsible for the\u00a0<\/p>\n
for the\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 274\u00a0<\/p>\n
consequences!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if Honora dies, you will be responsible!\u201d Finley shot back through gritted teeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that a threat?\u201d the doctor scoffed. \u201cFine. Then as of this moment, her life is no longer my\u00a0<\/p>\n
concern.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the tension in the room reached a breaking point, Larissa\u2019s voice\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s enough. I can neutralize the poison. None of these guests will u\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words instantly defused the volatile situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley stared at her in disbelief. \u201cYou can cure them?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
ugh the noise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin, still clutching the tattered remains of his rose bouquet, chimed in, \u201cWhy are you even questioning her? Larissa knows more about medicine than you\u2019ve had dinners!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finley was speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A jolt of alarm went through Draven. Larissa can cure them? Was that why she\u2019d been so calm this whole time?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince I can control these creatures, it stands to reason that I know how to cure their venom,\u201d Larissa said confidently. \u201cIf you trust me, I can begin treatment immediately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instantly, one of the poisoned guests pleaded weakly, \u201cI\u2026 I trust you, Ms. Judson. Please\u2026 help me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too\u2026 I trust you,\u201d another gasped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
