They had indeed poisoned Elijah; it was all premeditated!
But their goal was to keep Elijah hanging by a thread, turning him into a sickly figure!
The poison they used was never meant to kill, much less act so swiftly!
They weren't fools; only a madman would let Elijah succumb to the poison right there at the dining table!
Doing so would directly cast suspicion on them by Tarquin, wouldn't it?
So now, Gideon and his trusted allies were utterly baffled and panicked, clueless as to why Elijah had suddenly succumbed to poisoning!
The culprit surely wasn't them, so who could it possibly be?!
The family doctor rushed over in a hurry, checked Elijah's breathing, then pried open his eyelids to look, trembling as he said,
"Young Master Elijah... is gone!"
Everyone: "!!!!!!"
Tarquin couldn't believe it, his gaze filled with terror as he looked at the family doctor!
The doctor's words struck like a thunderclap, shattering his heart and all his hopes!
"Master Tarquin, please, accept my condolences."
"Get out—"
Tarquin shoved the doctor aside, his face grave as he continued to perform CPR on Elijah, refusing to accept reality,
"Elijah can't be gone! Elijah, wake up! Listen to me, Elijah..."
His voice choked up, unable to speak further.
Yet his hands never ceased their efforts...
Emmett's crying grew even louder!
Elliot couldn't hold back his tears any longer; the doctor's words were the final straw that broke him.
If earlier he was scared and upset, now he was just devastated.
