Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 776

Inside the cabin, Juniper carefully helped Ebony Fox sit down before crouching to check her pulse.

“I’m fine,” Ebony Fox said, knowing her own condition. Worried about her sister, she instinctively tried to pull her hand away.

Juniper didn’t speak, her clear eyes just stared quietly, radiating an intimidatingly strong presence.

“It’s not a big deal,” Ebony Fox mumbled, obediently offering her wrist back. She forced a relaxed tone to soothe her. “It’s just a poison. A little medication will keep it under control.”

As Juniper felt the pulse, a shadow fell over her eyes and her throat felt tight. Type 1 molecular virus. A virus that rapidly invades the nervous system, constantly reproducing and devouring healthy cells until it takes over the brain.

After nearly twenty years… the virus had surely spread throughout her entire body. Ewan hadn't been lying. In Ebony Fox's condition, the antidote would only prolong her life…

Besides, the ingredients for the antidote had long gone extinct. Her body was so weak. Without the antidote, she wouldn’t last two months.

And after two months? She would just… wait to die?

Juniper’s fingertips trembled, and her throat felt as if a large hand were squeezing it, making it so hard to breathe she felt nauseous.

“Juniper.” Ebony Fox suddenly grabbed Juniper’s hand, a faint smile on her pale face. “I’m perfectly healthy. I was just tired from all the recent work. A couple of days' rest and I’ll be fine.”

“Are you hungry?” Juniper’s voice was weak and low, barely audible. “Rest for a while. I’ll go get something to eat.”

Leaving the inner room, Juniper’s mind was a mess. Her legs felt like they were treading on cotton, and she felt completely dazed.

It wasn't until she saw Shanley walking toward her against the setting sun that her weary body seemed to find an anchor. She quickened her pace, moving unconsciously toward him.

“Juniper…” Shanley’s brow furrowed deeply as he saw the pained look on her face. He began to apologize softly, “I was just worried…”
