Chapter 279
Suddenly, Arabella added, "Look, I'm even your sister-in-law now. What a fate."
Meanwhile, Arabella said in her heart, "In fact, we have quite an embarrassing relationship. After all, Mr. Lucero and Tyrone are half-brothers. Besides, Mr. Lucero is a jealous man, often inexplicably suspecting me and Tyrone."
The faint smile on Tyrone's face quickly faded. He took his coat, turned around, and left.
Arabella was stunned for a moment.
She thought, "Well, Mr. Lucero and his brother both have a strange temper, but it's good that he took the initiative to leave. Although Tyrone helped me, my relationship with him is really awkward. Therefore, I'd better keep some distance from him to prevent Mr. Lucero from getting angry again."
...
It was getting late, and there was no one outside. Arabella locked the door of the pharmacy for fear of someone coming in. Then she took out a test tube and pushed the slender needle into a vein in her arm.
A bright red drop of Mandala flower venom was slowly pushed into her veins.
While doing so, she thought, "Mr. Lucero's illness can no longer be delayed. I know that Mr. Lucero minds his illness very much. He is afraid of getting sick, and even more afraid of hurting me when he does.
That's why Grandma said he really wanted to hold me tightly in his hands, but he was afraid of hurting me."
Arabella put down the needle, and now there was only silence in her ears. She could distinctly feel that the drop of Mandala's venom was rapidly spreading through her whole body.
Soon, she felt like countless small ants were crawling all over her veins, devouring and gnawing at her, giving her piercing pain.
Arabella's forehead was in a cold sweat of pain. She took out a silver needle and stabbed it into an acupoint, and then the drop of Mandala flower venom was slowly expelled from her fingertip.
At that moment, a sound reached her ears as someone came.
