My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 124

Loid's eyes were lowered. After a long moment of silence, he said, "Nothing. Let's go."

This time, he did not take Lily's hand. He just continued walking in front of her. From behind, he looked lonely.

Lily's eyes flashed with pity. After a moment, she followed him into the hospital as if nothing had happened.

They made their way to a VIP ward. Loid stopped at the door. He held the door handle loosely for a moment before pushing it open.

Lily followed him in. When she entered the room and saw the patient lying on the bed, her pupils contracted. She strode forward, her expression cold.

"What's going on?"

Jason Martinez? Frowning, she took his wrist and felt his pulse. Loid's pupils contracted as well. Unconsciously, he clenched his fists in his pockets.

"Mindshroud poison?" Lily looked up at Loid in surprise. Her expression was grave.

Loid averted his gaze and nodded. "Yeah. He has a lot more poison in his system than Grandma did, so his condition is worse.

"Dr. Benedict Aurum, the Supreme Doctor at the research center, helped slow down his circulation and put him in paralysis so that the poison wouldn't spread too far, but not even he could cure Jason.

"Jason's health has been worsening lately. We don't think he's going to last much longer. That's why we need to find a way to cure him."

Loid hadn't wanted to ask Lily for help at first. If she could cure the Mindshroud poison, then she would've saved Belinda in the first place. Right now, though, he had no other choice.

They had to do something about the poison in Hason's body, or he would die in seven days.

Lily's eyes became cold. "Who did this?" she asked frigidly.

Mindshroud wasn't a common poison. There were only five people in the world who could get their hands on it.

After a quick check, Lily found that the poison in Jason was the same kind that afflicted Belinda. They were both likely poisoned by the same person.

She'd always known that Belinda's poisoning wasn't as simple as it seemed. At the very least, Belinda wasn't just a teacher from the rural countryside.

If the same person really poisoned Jason and Belinda, then Lily would have to pay attention to this matter.
