Bailey pursed her lips.
If she was expected to give a definite answer, she couldn't provide it.
After all, this method was only recorded in the Yablon family's Encyclopedia of Poison. Although the ancestors of the Yablon family had used
that method, she didn't know the specific details.
“Cath, I don't want to exaggerate, nor do I want to deceive myself and others because I'm not entirely confident either. However, this method
was derived from blending the principles in the Fragrance Journal and Encyclopedia of Poison, so I believe it should still be effective. Even if
it doesn't work, we have no other way to save her. Let's just pray for the child's safety.”
Catherine bit her lip. She was just about to say something when footsteps echoed from outside.
Bailey lowered her voice and said, “Simon has brought Eunice with him. If you don't want that woman to see your lack of confidence, then be
a bit more self-assured. If she learns that you're not confident, she'll laugh wildly with joy. Letting her gloat is like causing pain to our loved
ones and allowing our enemies to be happy.”
Catherine was a perceptive person. Upon hearing Bailey's words, she immediately wiped the worried and fearful expression on her face.
Bailey is right. Even if this method doesn't work, we still have to give it a try because, right now, this is the only option they have.
Simon signaled for two bodyguards to usher Eunice in.
The anesthesia within her hadn't completely worn off, so she appeared to be quite limp.
But even so, her eyes were still filled with hatred.
She looked at them with a gaze filled with bitter resentment as if she wished she could flay them alive and tear them to pieces.
Bailey was used to such looks, so she was unfazed.
Catherine was focused only on Luna. She would be willing to take on the whole world to save her daughter at that moment.
A woman was naturally gentle but became strong when she became a mother.
Therefore, they turned a blind eye to Eunice's hateful looks.
Not to mention, Eunice brought it upon herself.
The parasite king was transferred from her to Catherine's body, and then through the placenta, it moved to Luna.
The reason she ended up sleeping with Simon years ago was also because of Eunice's scheming.
When all was said and done, the hardships Catherine and Luna had endured over the years were all thanks to Eunice.
Now, Eunice was just having a taste of her own medicine. Even if she were to be gnawed to death by the parasites, it would serve her right.
She had no one else to blame.
Bailey ignored her, unscrewed the bottle, and poured the poisonous powder into Luna's mouth.
A moment later, Luna's body began to convulse violently, her electrocardiogram readings flickering on and off intermittently.
The hearts of everyone in the room leaped into their throats. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The corridor outside was also filled with people. Maxton and his two siblings, Zeke, Juliana, and Artemis were all waiting at the door.
“Bailey, t-this...” Simon was anxiously pacing nearby.
Catherine glared at him, snapping, “If you can't handle it, then get out. Don't stand here and get in the way.”
He finally had a precious daughter, yet she was in such a state. How could he bear that sight?
However, he didn't dare to voice that thought, fearing Catherine might throw him out.
Bailey said, “Cath, check her pulse. Although I understand medicine, I'm not as adept as you are at detecting the movements of the parasite
king.”
Catherine nodded, then rushed to the bedside to take Luna's pulse. “T-The parasite king within her is raging. It's as if it wants to burst out of
her body.”
A hint of joy appeared on Bailey's face. “The poison is taking effect. The parasite king senses danger and doesn't want to inhabit this body any
longer. It was awakened by Eunice's blood. Given the choice now, it would definitely choose Eunice.”
After she finished speaking, without another word, she made a cut on the backs of Eunice and Luna's hands, then pressed their wounds
together.
Eunice was immobilized, her gaze fixated on her own wrist. In her heart, she was praying incessantly. Don't come out, don't come out, don't
come out.
Bailey and Catherine were staring intently at Luna's arm, beads of sweat trickling down their foreheads.
Success or failure hinged on that very moment.
If successful, Luna's life could be saved. They just needed to deal with the damage the poison had done to her body.
If the attempt were to fail, the frenzied parasite king would swiftly break free within her body, leaving her internal organs riddled with
countless wounds.
“T-There's movement!” Simon exclaimed.
Bailey and Catherine were taken aback, but their attention was entirely focused on the little girl's elbow.
The indented area there slowly began to bulge, and a worm-like creature was making its way up her arm toward the wound on the back of her
hand.
Between perishing together and choosing a new host, it opted for the latter.
Eunice's eyes widened, filled with a look of sheer terror.
She was scared.
She was genuinely scared.
The unknown danger was the most terrifying, especially watching the process as danger approached.
It felt like each day was a year.
She wanted to escape, but she couldn't. All she could do was stare wide-eyed, helplessly watching as the parasite wriggled toward their
wounds were in contact. “No, I won't accept this. Just kill me.”
Bailey coldly ordered, “Hold her down.”
The two bodyguards increased their strength. Even Simon joined in, pressing hard on her wrist. Don't blame me for being ruthless. For the
sake of my daughter, I have no other choice. After all, this is the mess that Eunice created herself. Now, she's facing the consequences. She
deserves it.
“Ah!” Accompanied by a piercing scream, the parasite king successfully transitioned from Luna's arm to Eunice's.
It then burrowed into Eunice's flesh and disappeared within her body.
The parasite king had fully awakened. Not only had it awakened, but it had also been driven into a frenzy by the toxin concocted by Cameron.
Without needing Bailey's instruction, Simon hastily called over two bodyguards to drag out the pathetic-looking Eunice.
Catherine swiftly bandaged Luna's wounds while Bailey took out another porcelain bottle, pouring all of the antidote inside into Luna's mouth.
The young girl spat out a mouthful of black blood, and her electrocardiogram gradually stabilized.
Catherine took her pulse, finally showing a relieved smile on her face. “The life force within her has disappeared. Although her body is
severely depleted, it can be gradually restored in the future.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she collapsed onto the floor.
Bailey also felt completely drained, collapsing beside the bed.
After a brief pause, Catherine cautiously asked, “What should we do with Eunice? She has the parasite king within her. If exploited by those
with ill intentions, I fear it could lead to disaster.”
The parasitic fragrance has always been a prohibited fragrance of the Roger family, housing the parasite king within it. Therefore, it had been
guarded by the family for generations. Now that Eunice has released it, even though she ultimately faced the consequences, a hidden danger
still remains. After some thought, Bailey suggested, “Let's give Eunice an injection to do away with her. Then, we'll cremate her remains
together with the parasite king. This wicked thing should never have existed in this world. It would be better if it were completely destroyed.”
Catherine had now completely succumbed to Bailey's influence. She would comply with whatever the latter said. “All right. We'll do as you
suggest. I am now the one in charge of the Roger family, and my word is final.”
With a smile, Bailey rose and headed toward the door, leaving the space for the family of three.
Stepping out of the ward, Bailey saw a gloomy expression on Artemis' face. She instantly realized something was troubling him. “What's
wrong?”
