Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 873

Barrett left Arcane Sanctum in a daze.

Ivy stepped in and asked, "Sir, why did you say so much to him?"

She was confused. Her mentor had always harbored a deep disdain for the Warren family. He rarely bothered to acknowledge them. Yet, Sebastian had spent his break time trying to reason with Barrett today.

Sebastian sighed softly. "I don't want the world to think that Madam Sinclair was blind and muddle-headed for marrying her daughter to him. While it's true, I just don't want to hear others say it."

He stood up and placed a piece of charcoal into the brazier to warm his hands.

"Besides, he's not truly wicked. He can tell right from wrong when it counts. General Wyatt lost an arm saving him. If Barrett doesn't wake up and continues to be led astray by his mom, then that lost arm will be a tragic injustice," he added.

"Is there something else?" Ivy felt there was more to it.

When Sebastian loathed someone, he wouldn't waste his breath speaking to them.

Sebastian's gaze darkened. "Don't ask. I hope it won't be necessary."

Barrett returned home empty-handed. Everyone in the household had already prepared themselves for this outcome. After so many failed attempts to obtain the medicine, what could he do differently?

Moreover, Sebastian despised him most of all, so it was even less likely he would succeed.

Rebecca was still conscious, aware that her son had gone to seek the medicine. She held onto a flicker of hope in her heart.

Sure enough, when Barrett returned, he was holding a small wooden box. She recognized it immediately—it was the box that contained the Snowdrop Pills.

Her heart raced with joy. "Did you… manage to get it?"

Barrett hid the bitterness in his eyes and instructed, "Bring a small cup of hot water to prepare the medicine."

Tara knew the situation and followed his orders. Once the medicine was brewed and turned into a liquid, Rebecca couldn't wait to drink it. However, the moment the liquid touched her tongue, she realized something was wrong.
