Said No to the Prince and Yes to the King novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250 I’m Back

Cold sweat broke out all over Margaret’s body in an instant.

She shook her head wildly, her voice breaking with panic. “Theodore, don’t!”

Her sharp cry startled every servant inside the bedchamber.

Darren sat by the bedside holding an acupuncture needle, having already pricked several points on Margaret’s head to rouse her.

He said, “Ms. Campbell, can you hear my voice? Please wake up.”

Margaret’s brows stayed tightly furrowed, trapped deep inside a terrifying nightmare. She gave no response, no matter how loudly they called to her.

Suddenly, another mouthful of fresh blood spilled from her lips.

Megan paced back and forth anxiously across the room, her voice tight with dread. “What do we do now? We’ve searched every medicine shop in all of Breston, and neither of those two rare herbs can be found anywhere.

“Why hasn’t Prince Theodore come back yet? A whole day has passed already. Night will fall soon. How much longer can Ms. Campbell hold on?”

Beads of sweat rolled down Darren’s forehead.

Megan went on, “If there’s truly no other way, we have to go to the palace and ask King Spencer and Queen Norma for help. Breston is full of powerful nobles–someone must have these rare medicinal herbs stored away in private.”

Darren wiped the sweat from his brow. “You know how priceless these herbs are. Even if some noble in Breston has them hidden away, they would never be willing to give them up freely. Going door to door to search would take far too long, and we simply don’t have that kind of time. Judging by her condition, it’s doubtful she’ll even last until dawn tomorrow.”

Megan sighed heavily, “I know we’re out of options. Prince Theodore still hasn’t returned. We’ve only been searching for one herb so far–what if he comes back and we’re still missing the other?”

She paused, her tone soft with sorrow. “If only Ms. Campbell were awake. She would surely have another way to cure the poison. Mr. Kingston, right now, we have only you to rely on. Please think again–is there any other remedy we can use?”

A maid’s voice suddenly rang out from outside the door. “Prince Theodore has returned.”

Megan’s face lit up with relief. She rushed outside at once.

Sure enough, she saw Theodore striding back into the estate with a group of men behind him.

She bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Prince Theodore. We’re so glad you’ve come back at last.”

Theodore said not a single word. He walked straight into the bedchamber and gently set a folded cloth bundle down on the table.

He unfolded the fabric carefully, revealing the extremely rare Spiritwither Herb inside.

Darren put away all his acupuncture needles and hurried over to the table, his expression filled with joy. “This is wonderful news. With Spiritwither Herb, Ms. Campbell now has a chance to live.”

Theodore walked quickly to the bedside, his face tight with worry at the sight of Margaret’s pale complexion. He took her hand gently. “Why is she trembling?”

Darren replied breathlessly, still sweating profusely, “Prince Theodore, her fever broke only just now after burning high since daybreak. She’s been muttering in her sleep all day long, trapped in what must be a terrible nightmare. Just moments ago, she kept shouting your name over and over.”

Theodore’s heart twisted with sharp pain upon hearing she’d been calling out for him in her nightmare.

He stroked her forehead tenderly.

What terrible things is she dreaming of to make her shake like this?

He spoke in a soft, soothing tone. “It’s alright now. I’m back.”

Somehow, the moment the words left his lips, Margaret’s trembling stopped completely.

Darren spoke cautiously from the side. “Prince Theodore, Spiritwither Herb can purge most of the poison from her body. But to restore her fully, Eternal Ganoderma is absolutely indispensable–we cannot do without it.”

Theodore frowned faintly. “I already know that.”

Darren let out a quiet sigh. “I shall go brew the medicine at once. No matter what happens, we must keep her alive first.”

With that, Darren hurried off to prepare the herbal concoction.

Megan said, “Prince Theodore, you haven’t slept for an entire day and night. Please rest for a little while. You’re also badly injured.”

Her heart ached at the sight of his tattered, disheveled appearance.

He’s always been such a noble, dignified master–how could he end up hurt this badly?
