The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 996

Cordelia couldn't stand people talking about Vivienne in such a manner, but the news of the child's illness also pained her heart.

"Delilah, what happened to Flynn is something none of us wanted. Besides, it was me who shamelessly asked Vivienne to treat Flynn. Why would she harm him? She wouldn't even know who Flynn is."

Seeing this, Delilah's eyes reddened with anger, a flash of hatred passing through her gaze, "Sis, have you lost your mind? Are you really going to prioritize someone who's practically a stranger over your own sister?"

"Don't you dare speak about Vivienne that way!"

This time, Cordelia was genuinely furious.

Vivienne had remained silent, simply watching to see how long Delilah could keep up her act. It seemed she was proving Dorian's words right: the Wilson family always took advantage of Cordelia's soft heart to use her.

Stepping forward, Vivienne reassured Cordelia, "I'm fine."

Then, turning to Delilah with a calm tone, she said, "I'll see Flynn's treatment through to the end. He'll be alright."

Delilah turned her head away, scoffing, "Flynn has less than a month left. Don't think you can torture him any longer. I won't let you."

Vivienne countered directly, "If you don't let me treat him, then he truly will only have a month left."

Delilah was speechless.

Cordelia seized the moment to mediate, unable to bear seeing her sister upset, "Delilah, you haven't seen what Vivienne is capable of. If anyone in this world can save Flynn, it's her."

Delilah, feeling cornered even by Cordelia, realized she had no choice but to relent, especially with nowhere else to turn.

Cordelia, knowing her sister's spoiled nature since childhood, believed smoothing things over would solve the issue.

After casting an apologetic glance at Vivienne, she declared, "Alright, Vivienne will continue with Flynn's treatment. If you're uncomfortable coming to the hospital, I'll go in your place. You've been by Flynn's side every day, you're wearing yourself out."

Delilah remained silent, which Cordelia took as agreement.

Eager to avoid any further conflict between the two, Cordelia, caught between her adopted daughter and her long-lost sister, sought a middle ground.

Vivienne nodded, accepting the decision as a favor to Cordelia.

Delilah, after a glance at her son on the bed and wiping away her tears, followed Cordelia out.

Once the door closed, Thomas stood guard outside as Vivienne began her treatment on Flynn. The toxins flowed slowly out through the silver needles, turning black, indicating the depth of the poison within him.

Vivienne's expression shifted subtly.

The toxins in Flynn were spreading too rapidly, and her usual methods were insufficient.

She had to try something different.

After removing the needles, Vivienne sealed them in a bag to take back to the lab for analysis.

She always believed in the innocence of children, especially when their bodies were pushed to the limit.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket. Setting aside her work, she answered, "Master, you were looking for me."

On the other end, Finnian's cheerful voice came through, "My dear girl, I'm over at the Perez family's. If you want information, you'll have to trade me the Snow Lotus. Don't think about stiffing me this time."

Vivienne responded lightly, "Okay, I'll come by tomorrow. I'm tied up today."

Finnian, sensing Vivienne's unusual demeanor, asked, "Found a clue?"

Vivienne replied honestly, "I've encountered a patient. The toxins were manageable, but within a day, they've spread to his heart. Now, I can only suppress them, not remove them quickly."

"What kind of poison is this powerful?"
