Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 483

Chapter 487

"Damn… Are they even humans?"

"What happened to them? How did they survive amidst the flames like that? This is unbelievable…"

At that moment, everyone, who witnessed the 'magical' moment firsthand, was speechlessly surprised and even scared, exclaiming in disbelief because they couldn't understand how Hanson and his family survived the unforgiving fire.

In the meantime, the mercenaries were all terrified by what they saw as they looked at Hanson in a horrified manner. Oh, jeez! We're so screwed now.

"Permission to eliminate every single hostile, President Luke."

While Hanson's eyes were still filled with strong murderous intent, he said sinisterly, "Make sure they learn their lesson the hard way."

"Roger that." The special force members physically dragged every mercenary away, for they were so scared that they could barely walk.

"Are you alright, darling?" Hanson looked at Vania concernedly.

Vania nodded and replied, "Yes, I am. What about you all, kids?"

The seven children nodded their heads together and said, "We're fine, Mom and Dad."

"Let's get to the hospital for a check-up." Worried that the harmful substance might do more damage than they thought, Hanson reckoned it was wiser for all of them to get themselves checked in the hospital.

"Sure." The family then got onto the ambulance and made their way to the hospital.

In the meantime, Melanie, who saw Hanson and Vania leaving with the kids safely, collapsed onto the ground in disappointment. No way! That's impossible. Was the fire fake or something? How did they not die from the fire like that? No! I mustn't let this end like that. She then flagged down a cab and secretly followed them.

As soon as the family reached the hospital, April quickly attended to them upon learning about their arrival. "Hanson, I've got everything arranged. Let's get you guys checked now."

"Sure." Hanson nodded in agreement.

With April around, they didn't have to wait long before they were done with their check-up. "Hanson, Vania, both of you seem to be in good health, but… I'm going to have to run some tests on this harmful poison."

"Poison?" Vania was surprised. "What kind of poison did they use against us this time?" These people really love using poison against us, don't they? They just won't stop trying to poison us even though they failed the last time.

"If I'm going to make a guess, this poison was produced in a lab. Besides, it was also mixed with some other substances that made it flammable should it ever come into contact with fire. Apart from that, this poison can also corrode the victim's skin without him or her knowing it. Given enough time, it could even corrode the bones and cause the victim's flesh to rot, which can lead to fatality."

April knitted his eyebrows, hinting that the poison was deadlier than he thought. "The scariest part is that the victim often doesn't feel anything upon coming into contact with the poison, which is usually what leads to the tragedy."

Great! Things just keep getting 'better' and 'better' every single time. "Does that mean there isn't a cure for this poison?" Vania's eyes turned cold when she heard that.

"Exactly." April nodded.

"I know how to make the cure for this poison." Lily's voice shattered the silence just when everyone responded with nothing. Then, they all fixed their gazes upon her, believing that she would be able to provide some useful suggestion.

"What do we need to do?" April asked, feeling impressed with the little girl's confidence. In fact, he was amazed by her outstanding talent the last time they met, only to realize that he felt the same way again this time. Deep down inside, he was even tempted to become her mentee.

"Gather the ingredients for me based on my prescription." Lily grabbed the pen from April's hand and wrote a list of prescribed ingredients. "Then, prepare nine wooden buckets so that I can soak the ingredients in ice water for an hour."

"Alright." Hanson quickly ordered his men to gather what Lily just stated.

An hour later, Hanson's men returned with the ingredients needed. Upon going through the types of herbs gathered, Lily skillfully divided them into nine groups before putting them in a wooden bucket each. "Get me a scalpel." When April heard Lily's instruction, he immediately got her a scalpel without much hesitation. In the meantime, Lily didn't hesitate much as she proceeded to cut her finger with the blade, whereupon her fingertip was seen bleeding.

"Lily!"
