Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 367

Without missing a beat, Willow lowered her gaze and let her body completely give out, collapsing directly into the rose bushes.

The sharp thorns slashed against her skin, but she completely ignored the sting. Using the fall as a cover, she swiftly slipped the discarded phone into her pocket.

The execution was flawless and seamlessly fast. Reed frowned. Something felt slightly off, but he didn't voice his suspicions.

Willow clutched her forehead, feigning a swoon. "I... I think the poison is kicking in."

The color immediately drained from Reed's face. He had just received word from the King's men that the toxicology report on The Toxic Silver Needle had come back positive.

They just hadn't identified the exact lethal dosage yet, nor did they have an antidote ready.

Panic flared in his chest. No matter what, Willow Shaw absolutely could not die inside The Solarian Palace!

If she did, the royal family's reputation would be decimated, and the fallout would be catastrophic.

Reed took a deep breath. Willow had wandered so deep into the gardens that there wasn't a single soul around to help.

He frantically dialed the medical team. "Get the antidote down here, immediately!"

Sprawled on the ground, Willow put on a masterful display of agony, her voice weak and trembling. "You need to go guide them. If they get lost in this maze, it'll waste too much time... I don't want to die."

Reed hesitated, but one look at her horrifyingly pale expression made his decision for him.

She looked absolutely dreadful, like she was going to take her final breath right then and there.

Convinced the toxin was highly lethal, sheer panic drove his actions.

If she died on palace grounds, how could they proceed with The Celestial Composition Project? The Jagger Family would utterly destroy them!

Drenched in a cold sweat, he agreed without a second thought.
