Larissa Judson and Haskell Palmer novel Chapter 366

Her words sent a chill down the spines of Paxton’s family.

The next? What else did she have in store?

Honora, in particular, felt a knot of dread tighten in her stomach. She was sure Larissa would use this opportunity to make her life miserable.

As if on cue, Larissa’s gaze fell upon her. But what Larissa said next was completely unexpected.

“Honora, I’m going to cure you of the poison completely.”

Honora froze. She couldn’t believe Larissa would still be willing to help her after everything that had happened. What was this little witch plotting now?

As Honora hesitated, Finley spoke up. “Honora, I don’t know what her reasons are, but if she’s willing to cure you, just let her. Don’t worry about us.”

“…Alright.” Honora let out a quiet sigh of relief. She sat down on the sofa and lifted the hem of her dress. “Cure me.”

Larissa approached, taking out a needle case from her pocket. After performing a quick acupuncture treatment, she produced a small ceramic jar. She placed a leech from the jar onto the bite on Honora’s ankle to draw out the poisoned blood.

Honora was in disbelief. Larissa hadn’t tricked her. What on earth was she up to?

After removing the leech, Larissa announced, “There. The poison is completely gone.”

Avril was just as confused. “Larissa, why did you help her?”

Larissa looked pointedly at Finley. “Because I want Finley to live with regret.”

An unprecedented silence fell over the room as everyone held their breath, waiting for a miracle.

Ten seconds passed. Twenty. Half a minute…

A full minute went by, and Leopold remained still.

Vivica’s jaw tightened. “He’s not waking up! Why did we ever believe you could help him? You venomous viper, you probably want him to stay like this forever!”

Honora secretly let out a sigh of relief. But before she could fully exhale, a cough echoed from the sofa.

“Cough, cough…”
