The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1506

Claire immediately stood up. "I'll go take a look."

If the hospital couldn't figure out the problem, the poison had to be extremely potent.

As for anything supernatural, she dismissed the idea entirely.

There was no way Quinton used some mystical power to drive them insane.

"Wasn't he poisoned too? How did he get away?"

The man was clever and knew how to bide his time. He knew he couldn't escape while Dane and Silas were around.

So he had played along, waiting for the perfect moment.

Once his guards dropped their guard, he seized the opportunity to bolt.

He truly was a mastermind.

Silas was still investigating the details, so Claire got up and went with Dane to see the four guards who had escorted Quinton.

Claire checked their pulses one by one.

"They've been dosed with a rare toxin extracted from the fruit of the Dreamweed. The plant is practically nonexistent in Solenia."

Claire hadn't expected to encounter Dreamweed toxin again after so many years.

"What's Dreamweed?" asked the nearby specialists, who had never heard of it.

Since they practiced conventional medicine, they mostly dealt with chemically synthesized poisons.

Claire guessed that the person who extracted the toxin had systematically studied traditional botany and medicine.

Otherwise, they never could have refined such a poison.

Dreamweed was incredibly difficult to cultivate, and because it was so dangerous, it had been driven to near extinction in the last century.

She had no idea who had managed to find its seeds and extract the toxin from its fruit.

"How do you know about it?"

Since the plant went extinct a century ago, and Claire wasn't even twenty, how could she know so much about it?

Silas only asked the question after Claire used acupuncture to stabilize the restrained men and suppress the toxin.

"My mentor comes from a long line of medical practitioners. His family's archives contain records of Dreamweed."
