"Ariana is too ruthless, actually transferring the grievances between adults onto the child. If I hadn't arrived in time, the child would have... "
Thinking of the scene at that time, Freya still felt lingering fear.
Bradley sat up and leaned against the bed, gently stroking her hair, and said softly, "Although the ending is painful, at least... there won't be anyone obstructing Nan Patrick and Madeline in the future."
Now that Ariana is dead, Lina also died in a plane crash, although it brought peace at the cost of their deaths.
But... such venomous women like Ariana and Lina are not worth lamenting!
"And Patrick, is he still dealing with the aftermath of Lina's death?"
Freya thought of getting up to help Bradley pour a glass of water, not sure if it was because of being too tense or not sleeping well recently, she felt that dizzy feeling again.
Even the handsome face of the man in front of her was slowly becoming blurred.
She dared not make any sudden movements, obediently sat down and took a deep breath, forcing down this discomfort.
Recently, she has been receiving acupuncture treatment every day for herself, but it's only a temporary solution and not addressing the root cause. Although acupuncture can help control the toxicity, it cannot stop the frequency of attacks. Previously, she would have an attack every few days, but now it has escalated to once a day, sometimes even multiple times a day. This time, the attack was extremely severe, and Freya's face immediately turned pale. In order to avoid being noticed by Bradley, Freya always kept her head down to hide her various discomforts. "Well, no matter what, she is still his birth mother. Even if the mother-son relationship is going, there are still some things that he, as a son, needs to handle personally," Bradley said, unaware of Freya's anomaly. Ultimately, afraid of being discovered by the man, Freya found a reason to leave. She forced her voice to sound normal and smiled lightly, "It's okay, let Patrick handle things, I will take care of Madeline." With that, she used her strong willpower to get up, "I'll go see how Madeline is doing, and come back to accompany you later." Even though she controlled herself well, her body still swayed uncontrollably.
Although it was a subtle movement, Bradley easily caught it and immediately furrowed his brows. Just as he was about to reach out to support her, he saw Freya lift her foot and walk towards the door, her steps clearly unsteady. Realizing that she might be experiencing another bout of poisoning, Bradley was about to get up when his phone, placed on the bedside, rang. Glancing over, he saw it was from Gordon. Thinking it might be about the antidote for the snake poison, he immediately picked up the phone and answered. "Mr. kane." "Nan Freyao." Gordon's voice sounded somewhat tired. "There have been new discoveries regarding the antidote for the snake poison in the past few days. If all goes well, we should have results in the next two days." "That's fantastic!" Bradley was extremely excited, and the pressure he applied to the phone while holding it became uncontrollable. "However..."
"What's up?" Bradley frowned unconsciously.
Gordon remained silent for a long time before speaking seriously, "White has received some information, and I need some help on my end."
Upon hearing this, Bradley breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a problem with the antidote, it was fine.
He said, "Alright, I'll send some people over for you to use."
“Also, I'm not sure if you're available, but I'd like to meet with you in person. There are some things that are not clear over the phone," Gordon added.
Bradley hesitated for a moment, looking in the direction where Freya had left.
Gordon didn't wait for his response and continued, "If you're not available, I can visit in person, but it might delay the matter of the antidote."
Upon hearing this, Bradley hurriedly said, "No need, I'll arrange to leave shortly."
After hanging up the phone, Bradley got out of bed and went to find Freya to discuss the matter.
At this moment, Freya was not in the comfortable hospital room but back in the lounge getting acupuncture for herself.
The toxicity relapsed too quickly, causing her to shake violently, making it difficult to even hold the needles steady. The side effects of the serpent poison are too dominant, affecting not only her hearing, taste, and smell, but also slowly damaging her brain nerves, severely impairing her vision. In the brief moment just now, she couldn't clearly see Bradley's face, causing her intense anxiety. As the silver needle fell, the excruciating pain swept over her, causing her to gasp for air repeatedly. Beads of cold sweat seeped out densely on her fair cheeks. With the second needle falling, the piercing pain almost made her unable to bear it and almost cried out, but at that moment, she bit down on her own arm. This serpent poison, refining the most dominant snake venom in the world, combined with the components of a new type of venom, can be described as poison upon poison. If Gordon cannot research an antidote, she... may not escape this disaster! "Knock, knock, knock!" Suddenly, there came a knocking sound from outside.
Summer anxiously pulled out the silver needle, took a deep breath, and tried to keep her voice as steady as possible. "Is it Bradley?"
"It's me," came the warm voice of Bradley.
Summer anxiously wiped the sweat off her face with a tissue, gathered her things, and weakly went to open the door. "Your injuries aren't healed yet, why are you getting out of bed?" her voice was filled with concern.
"A minor injury is nothing," Bradley said, gently touching her temples and brushing aside a strand of hair, asking, "Why are you sweating so much, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"Not unwell, just felt a bit cold and turned off the air conditioning, now it's hot," Summer wiped her sweat, trying to support the man back to the hospital room but he stopped her.
"News from Gordon came in, the antidote for the snake venom will be available in a few days, and there's also a lead from White's side, so I need to leave immediately to meet with him." Bradley's deep gaze remained on Summer.
Although she said she was fine, he had a feeling that something was wrong.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw Summer nod and say, "You still have injuries on your body, can you handle all this back and forth?"
After speaking, she turned back to get her coat and put it on, saying, "I'll accompany you."
"Stay in the medical room and take good care of Madeline. I'll be back soon," Bradley said.
This time, he didn't know what would happen, so he didn't want Freya to follow him back and forth.
"As for my injury, don't worry. I'll have Dr with me 24 hours, so it'll be fine."
Freya felt extremely uncomfortable this time, a strong dizziness struck her, making her feel completely dizzy.
Worried that she might be discovered by the man and delay things, she quickly agreed, "Okay, go and come back soon."
"Okay."
Bradley held her face and planted a deep kiss on her forehead, saying, "Wait for me to come back!"
