Chapter 357
Severin was speechless for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Sheila truly was a master at taking advantage of the situation!
Zachariah frowned, and it was evident that he had been put in a tight spot by Sheila’s proposal. Judging from how Zachariah reacted, Severin knew that the man still did not think too highly of him, but he was nonetheless quite happy that the other party looked down on him because he had always intended to keep a proper distance from Sheila. He immediately smiled and said, “I can’t accept that either. Please don’t be silly, Miss Sheila! You’re Mister Zachariah’s treasured daughter, and it’ll be a big loss for the Ballards if you marry me!”
As he spoke, he removed the silver needles one by one and changed the subject without giving Sheila a chance to interrupt. “Like I said earlier this morning, you were poisoned. There was an obscene amount of poison in the mouthful of black blood that you spat out earlier. What I did was force your body to gather as much of the poison as possible before letting you spit it all out!”
“Sigh!” Zachariah could not help but let out a heavy sigh with a complicated expression on his face. Earlier that morning, Severin had already told him that the wooden chair that his biological brother gave him was the problem, and he really did not want to accept the fact that his brother would ever harm him.
“Is my
father all right now that you forced the poison out?” Sheila was a little worried and asked out of concern. She could not begin to imagine what she would do if her father died! The conversation she eavesdropped on from outside the door was particularly scary, and she did not expect that even such close relatives of the Ballards would covet the family assets and plot to kill her and her father.
Severin smiled and said, “The poison in his body wasn’t formed in just a day or two. I removed ninety percent of it earlier, but ten percent of it remains. However, he can go about his routine. like a normal person now, and I’ll give him two herbal prescriptions which he can boil and drink. That way, the poison in his body will slowly, but surely, be eliminated!”
Zachariah’s face had regained some color and he got up from the bed and took a few steps. He then could not help but exclaim, “I feel so much lighter all of a sudden! You truly are a miracle. doctor, Severin!”
“I’m not a miracle doctor. I guessed that you would vomit blood within three days, and I didn’t expect it to come so quickly. I expected you to vomit tomorrow morning, in fact!” Severin responded modestly.
