Chapter 1056 Seeking Help at the Last Minute

"What kind of side effects?"

"There's a possibility of damaging the brain nerves. In mild cases, it could lead to cerebral palsy, and in severe cases, it could cause incomplete intellectual development."

Bradley involuntarily took two steps backward. Incomplete intellectual development meant becoming mentally disabled?

Although he didn't speak, Patrick could still hear his slightly heavy breathing through the phone. He comforted him, "All of this is just speculation. After all, every antidote has its aftereffects. When Freya was poisoned by the snake Poison before, Mark also said that there might be memory loss, but nothing happened to Freya, and she's fine, isn't she?

I'm calling you mainly to give you a heads-up. Freya is a renowned doctor, Lexi. Maybe having her come back to take a look at the situation will be helpful for Xin Yao's condition."

Bradley remained silent.

Just when Patrick thought he wouldn't say anything, he suddenly spoke, "The Lady might have escaped from Stolan. Next, she should contact Bai Zhanwang. Freya and I will leave tomorrow morning to meet Gabriel at the underground laboratory. Then we'll go back to Solterra first."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Bradley didn't say anything more and hung up the phone directly.

He clenched his phone tightly and stood there stiffly for a long time without moving.

……

In the evening.

Bradley took Freya to Mr. Ming's house.

Since they had missed lunch, Mr. Ming personally prepared dinner to entertain the two of them.

"Bradley, Freya, take a seat!" Mr. Ming said warmly.

Bradley nodded, pulled out a dining chair for Freya himself, helped her sit down, and then walked around to the other side and sat down.

Seeing how affectionate the two of them were, Mr. Ming stroked his beard and said, "Back then, I also doted on your mistress like a treasure, but she didn't appreciate it and thought I was being too mushy."

Freya smiled and said, "I'm sure mistress wasn't really mean that, but was just being sweet in her heart and saying the opposite."

"Yes, yes, yes. Girls always like to say the opposite." Mr. Ming laughed heartily and motioned for the two of them to eat. "By the way, I heard about what happened in the amusement park today. I didn't expect that just to test your ability to see through disguises, such an accident would occur. It was my oversight as a master."

Bradley gracefully picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of spare rib, and put it into Freya's bowl. Then he looked up and said, "Accidents are unpredictable. Master, there's no need to blame yourself."

"Yes, master. Don't worry about it. Even if it hadn't happened in the amusement park, those people would have chosen another place to attack. After all, they've been following us for a long time, and we couldn't avoid this disaster." Freya also comforted him.

She had noticed that Xie Ran was leading people to follow them.

She just didn't expect him to be so bold as to attack in the amusement park.

Although she said so, Mr. Ming still felt guilty. After all, it was the place he had chosen.

If it hadn't been for Freya's ability to defuse the bomb, thousands of people in the entire amusement park would have been in trouble.

"Who were those people?" Mr. Ming asked.

Bradley frowned slightly and told him everything that had happened in the royal family recently.

After hearing this, Mr. Ming said angrily, "There are such cruel and vicious women in the world. She actually wants to use poison to control an entire country. Bradley and Freya, you mustn't let such a person escape."

"Don't worry, master. We will definitely catch her." Freya said.

And Bradley directly revealed the purpose of their visit, "The Lady might have fled the country, so we have to leave early tomorrow morning. We came here today to say goodbye to you, master."

Mr. Ming nodded and said, "National affairs are important, and I won't keep you. But you said that the Lady is good at the art of disguise. Without the ability to see through disguises, it will be difficult for you to catch her!"

Freya smiled and said, "That's exactly why we came to you tonight to seek help at the last minute, master."

Mr. Ming was amused by Freya's humorous tone. "That's okay. With your two's comprehension abilities, seeking help at the last minute should be enough."

After dinner, Mr. Ming took the two of them to the mask-making room.

In order to help the two of them master the essence of the art of seeing through disguises as soon as possible, Mr. Ming briefly explained the entire process of the art of disguise and even conducted a live experiment, sitting there and letting the two of them analyze the loopholes in the disguise.

"I said last night that the first element of the art of seeing through disguises is to feel with your heart. The person you're looking for is actually someone you're familiar with. You can observe her body shape characteristics, her breath, or her behavior. The second is to observe. No matter how well the mask is made to fit the human skin, it's not actually growing on the face. So, you can basically find the flaws from the back.

But many women, after disguising themselves, always like to let their hair down or wear sunglasses to cover up. In this case, you have to refer to the first element and understand it on your own."

Freya nodded.

When she had disguised herself as Poppy before, she had used this method to cover up.

If it hadn't been for the fact that she had dropped the wolf tooth jade whistle and Bradley had picked it up, her identity wouldn't have been exposed.

Bradley also roughly understood.

They were naturally highly talented. With Mr. Ming's guidance, they had basically mastered all the techniques.

Mr. Ming almost passed on all his life's experience to the two of them. It was not until it was getting late that the two of them proposed to leave.

"Thank you for your hard work today, master. We'll come back to visit you when we have time."

Mr. Ming stroked his beard and said, "Good, good. My door is always open for you two."

"Take care!"

The two of them left hand in hand.

Freya had originally wanted to walk towards the direction where the car was parked, but Bradley pulled her towards the street.

"Aren't we going home?" she asked.

Bradley clasped her small hand tightly and said softly, "We're leaving tomorrow. Don't you want to take a good look at the night view of Stolan that we've worked so hard to reclaim?"

"But the car..."

"It doesn't matter. Blue Book will drive it away."

Freya smiled faintly. This man sometimes didn't play by the rules. Although the unexpected things came suddenly, they always brought her surprises.

The two of them strolled on the street. There were not many people at this time, and it was even drizzling.

But they didn't care. They just leisurely interlocked their fingers and walked step by step towards the direction of the palace.

"Freya, I'm sorry." Suddenly, Bradley said this.

Freya was stunned and turned her head to look at him in confusion. "Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"

Bradley stopped in his tracks and looked at her with extremely deep eyes. "I deceived you."

Seeing how serious he was, Freya blinked playfully. "What, did you go out and flirt with other women while I was away?"

The man smiled helplessly and gently tapped her nose. "How could that be? All the flowers and plants outside are not as good as one of your fingers. They don't catch my eye at all."

"Then what is it?" The drizzle was hazy, and the dim streetlight shone on Freya's face. Her hair was wet, and a few strands stuck to her porcelain-white face.

She stood on tiptoe, put her hands around the man's neck, and her eyes were lively and clear, like the purest and most dazzling crystal.

Bradley's heart was slightly moved. Looking at her like this, he thought of the days when they had just met.

Every time she had been bullied by him, she had looked innocent and pitiful.

He reached out and gently stroked her face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xin Yao... something has happened!"
