Chapter 240
Gradually, the room was entirely shrouded by smoke.
Lying beside the cold coffin, Liliana brushed the bridge of Josiah‘s tall nose with her fingertip and muttered, “Josiah, Dr. Nichols will definitely be able to cure you. We‘ll be reunited soon.”
The man in the coffin closed his eyes tightly as if he was asleep.
After a while, when the scent of the incense got stronger, Liliana felt her vision getting more and more blurry.
Subsequently, she fainted to the ground.
In an instant, Natalie threw away the incense in her hand.
The incense she made only had the effect of calming the mind and could cause drowsiness. It had no medicinal effect of bringing people back to life.
“Cecilia, you aren‘t dizzy, right?”
In response, Cecilia shook her head. “I ate the pill you gave me and didn‘t feel anything.”

Still feeling worried, Natalie checked Cecilia‘s pulse to make sure that she was not affected by the scent.
“Cecilia, when I bring you out of here later, lower your head and pretend that, nothing has happened.” Natalie‘s eyes were cold, and a glint flickered across them. “If anything happens, hide behind me. I‘ll protect you.”
Unwilling to hold Natalie back, Cecilia immediately nodded her head.
“I understand.”
“Let‘s go.”
As they stepped out of the bedroom, they met two guards standing in front of the door.
When they saw Natalie and Cecilia coming out, they blocked their way.

“Where are you going?”
**The place we‘re going is a secret. Come nearer.” Natalie beckoned to them and continued, “I‘ll tell you in a low voice.”
Since Natalie and Cecilia were just two defenseless women, the guards lowered their bodies and leaned over without suspecting anything.
At that moment, a hint of hostility flashed across Natalie‘s eyes, and she pricked two silver needles on their necks.
Instantaneously, the guards fell to the ground.
“Come on.”
When that mad woman realizes that the miracle doctor is useless, she‘ll naturally ask me to deal with her. When the time comes, I‘ll kill her and bury the corpse. Then, no one will ever find out about the secret of the Todd residence, and I‘ll still be the helm of this mansion.
Did they escape?
