A few of them even came up to James to pull him away. "Get lost, kid," they rebuked.
"You have no business here."
"Who are you?"
"You too, Thea. Why can't you keep an eye on your good-for-nothing husband?"
Thea looked at the others and said, "My husband has medical skills, too. In fact, his skills are better than your average doctor's. I believe in him. He can save Quincy."
"Your trust in him means nothing!"
"Will you take responsibility if something happens?"
"Everyone shut up!" James suddenly shouted.
Everyone closed their mouths at his command.
James approached Quincy and looked at the wound on her thigh, then at the other symptoms on her body.
After that, he looked at her complexion.
He lifted her eyelids to look at her pupils.
Then, he pulled her arm up to take her pulse.
"Tree viper?"
James narrowed his eyes.
From what he knew, tree vipers were commonly bred for the medicinal value in their venom. When mixed with medical herbs, they could cure diseases.
However, this snake was purely poisonous.
Those that were poisoned would die within an hour.
He looked at Quentin.
"What, at a loss?" Quentin said smugly. "I'll tell you one time. I'm mad now, so I'm not going to do anything."
Quentin had James pinned in a corner.
How could this trash cure the poisoning?
He'll come crawling to him eventually.
That way, he'll be able to bring Quincy back to his room, fair and square.
He'll give her the antidote and feed her his drug, then Quincy will be at his mercy.
