In the Solterra Palace.
Sean's experiment had been declared a success. A group of people were now gathered in Xin Yao's room, waiting for Bradley and Freya to return to decide whether to give Xin Yao the antidote.
Xin Yao had started crying uncontrollably again last night. Obviously, the onset of the poison had caused her discomfort.
She had been crying from last night until now, and her throat was hoarse. She had only gradually fallen asleep after Sean administered acupuncture to her.
"I'll give Freya a call to ask where they are." Madeline paced restlessly in the room.
She hadn't slept a wink last night either, and had dark circles under her eyes. Coupled with a slight cold, she coughed from time to time when speaking.
Patrick stopped her and said, "No need. They'll be here soon."
Bradley had called him before getting on the plane. The fastest it would take to get from Stolan to Solterra was over two hours. Urging them at this moment would only make them more flustered.
"But Xin Yao is like this. I'm worried..." Madeline's voice was tinged with sobs.
The whole night of crying had left her physically and mentally exhausted. Her heart was constantly in suspense, and she even had some difficulty breathing.
Patrick put his arm around her shoulders and soothed her, "Don't worry. Xin Yao is such a brave child. She'll definitely be okay."
As he was speaking, there was a commotion from outside.
Soon, two figures rushed in hurriedly. It was Freya and Bradley.
"How is Xin Yao?" As soon as she got off the plane, Freya didn't even take a breath and rushed over immediately.
When she saw the child lying in the crib with red cheeks and tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, Freya's emotions immediately got out of control.
Sean told her the situation, "The poison flared up last night. I administered the acupuncture according to the technique you taught me. She didn't fall asleep until around four o'clock in the morning. But she developed a fever again just now, and the situation isn't optimistic."
Freya came to the side of the child and reached out to touch her forehead.
It was so hot!
She quickly withdrew her hand as if burned, and then began to feel Xin Yao's pulse.
Indeed, the toxicity had invaded Xin Yao's internal organs. If she didn't take the antidote, she was afraid to say there would be a risk to her life.
"You said the side effects of the antidote might include cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities. Let me take a look at it." Freya turned to look at Sean.
Sean immediately handed the antidote to her. Freya smelled it and then said, "The ingredients are relatively mild. The probability you mentioned is at most 20%. We can only give it a try."
Now that things had come to this point, they had no other choice.
They could only pray that Xin Yao would adapt to the antidote and that these sequelae wouldn't occur.
Bradley came to Freya's side and held her hand tightly, soothing her emotions, "Trust Xin Yao."
Freya nodded and personally fed Xin Yao the antidote.
Then came the long wait.
Everyone held their breath waiting for the result, and Madeline even closed her eyes and prayed.
……
Half an hour later.
Freya touched Xin Yao's forehead. The high fever had subsided. She then checked Xin Yao's pulse, and it had gradually returned to normal.
Everything was developing in a good direction. Now they just had to wait for Xin Yao to wake up and pay attention to her mental state.
"Madeline, Patrick said you've been ill for several days. Go back and rest quickly." Freya looked at Madeline. In addition to gratitude, there was more self-blame in her heart.
Xin Yao was clearly her child, yet Madeline had taken care of her for so long.
Come to think of it, she really wasn't a good mother.
Madeline coughed twice, forced herself to perk up, and smiled, "Don't worry. I'm in good health. I'm fine."
Freya frowned and said, "You call this fine? Look at how pale you are, and you have such dark circles under your eyes. And do you even weigh 95 pounds?"
Before, all her attention had been on Xin Yao, and she hadn't paid much attention to Madeline's mental state. Now, looking closely, Madeline had lost a lot of weight.
"Who says I don't weigh 95 pounds? I weigh 100 pounds." After saying that, Madeline deliberately showed the little bit of flesh on her hand.
Freya smiled helplessly. Just as she was about to say something more, suddenly Xin Yao on the bed turned over, opened her eyes, and grinned at her.
At that moment, Freya's gloomy mood instantly brightened.
She pounced forward and picked up the child, then began to test her intelligence.
Xin Yao's eyes were still moving quickly, and all aspects of her characteristics were normal.
That is to say, the sequelae that Sean had predicted hadn't occurred.
"This is a good girl, the future Queen of Stolan. How could she be intellectually disabled?" Sean also heaved a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that something would go wrong with the child, and that Bradley would give him a hard time, and he wouldn't be able to leave Solterra alive.
"Since Xin Yao is okay, I have to go back to Leiton. Although Senior Brother Sheldon is helping to take care of things, Winston's condition isn't stable, and I need to keep an eye on him at all times to feel at ease."
Freya nodded, "Go ahead. Whether Winston can wake up depends entirely on you." After saying that, she patted Sean on the shoulder.
Sean twitched the corners of his mouth, "You really dare to say that. Even you couldn't make him wake up. I'm just treating the dying as if they were still alive. Whether he can wake up depends on a miracle."
Winston's illness was special. He had to do acupuncture three times a day until his hands went numb. Besides maintaining his normal vital signs, he had no confidence at all that he could save this living dead person.
"I believe in you, Sean. Look, you were even able to develop the antidote for the Beast Venom. You've become much more excellent compared to before. As long as you keep working hard, there will be hope."
Freya naturally knew Sean's medical skills. He was a leading figure in the field of Western medicine. Although he had delved into traditional Chinese medicine under her guidance, he was currently also proficient in acupuncture.
Moreover, in order to help Bradley detoxify the Beast Venom, he had jointly developed the antidote with Yun Xiangcheng. It could be said that he knew no less about the Beast Venom than she did.
If it weren't for this, Sean wouldn't have been able to develop the antidote for Xin Yao's poisoning so quickly this time.
"Thank you for your kind words. If Winston can wake up, you should give away the title of renowned doctor Lexi." Sean joked.
Freya shrugged, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
It was just a title, and she didn't care about it.
Sean raised his eyebrows and looked at Bradley, saying, "Bradley, you heard it. Your wife herself said she wants to give me the title of Lexi. Everyone here can testify that I didn't force her."
"Of course. I'll testify for you. As long as you can cure my master's illness, not to mention the title of Lexi, I'll even put the entire medical room of the Solterra Palace under your charge."
Sean's eyes lit up.
Before, he might not have cared about such vain things. But since learning about many of Bradley's identities, Sean's admiration for him hadn't diminished, and he even dreamed of working with him.
Now that Bradley had made the promise, it completely ignited his fighting spirit.
"Okay, you said it."
Bradley nodded and said, "That's right. The medical room of the palace is always ready to welcome you."
With Bradley's promise, Sean couldn't wait to get back. He immediately took a helicopter back to Leiton and devoted himself to studying Winston's illness.
