    Shauna nodded and stepped out.

    After showering, Sean came out to find Baron sitting on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. He walked over.


    “What’s with that face? I’m just poisoned, not dying. You look terrible.”


    “Sean.”


    Baron was already in a foul mood, and this little brat still had the nerve to joke around-didn’t even take his own life seriously. That only made Baron more irritable.


    Sean reached out and patted Baron’s head, acting like a wise old man. “Come on, it’s just cyan powder. Nothing ! can’t handle. You know I’ve always liked messing with your poisons. I’ve sworn I’m going to be a toxicologist, remember?”


    As he spoke, he pulled out a porcin bottle from his treasure chest, poured out a pill, and popped it in his mouth without a second thought. He chewed and swallowed it down.


    Baron stared at him, speechless.


    “I haven’t even tested that antidote yet.”


    “It’ll work! I made it myself. I never mess up.”


    After drinking a ss of water, Sean looked up. “Daddy, was the powder why the skinpatibility results were wrong?”


    “Yeah. But for now, you can’t do the test again. I’m worried the toxins might transfer to your mom. Until they’repletely flushed from your system, don’t go into the sterile room.”


    Sean groaned dramatically.


    “Daddy, you’re so cruel! Can’t I at least look at her through the ss?”


    “You’re poisoned. Act like it.”


    Baron stood to leave.


    Sean couldn’t be tested, but Natalie’s skin graft couldn’t wait any longer. He had to find a suitable donor-and fast.


    Just as he turned to go, Sean grabbed his pinky.


    Baron paused.


    “What now?”

    Sean nodded, rummaged through his treasure chest again, and handed Baron a small bottle.

    “I overheard you told Shauna to keep an eye on Uncle Finn. But Shauna’s too busy, and they know each other too well. Finn can read her just from a look. If he really did it, fine-but if he didn’t, wouldn’t that hurt your rtionship? Everyone knows Finn cares about you a lot.”


    Baron was slightly impressed.


    “A kid like you meddling in grown-up business now?”


    “I don’t care who it is. Anyone who threatens you or Mommy or me is going to pay.”


    Sean smiled faintly at that, then quickly suppressed it.


    He cleared his throat. “Anyway, that stuff in the bottle-it’s colorless, odorless. Sprinkle a bit on Finn, and I’ll be able to track his movements. No need to follow him.”


    “You sure?”


    Baron sounded doubtful.


    Sean snorted. “Baron, don’t underestimate me. In this field, I’m the expert! Ow!”


    Before he finished bragging, Baron flicked his forehead hard.


    “What did you just call me?”


    “Daddy!”


    Sean instantly fell in line.


    He knew he couldn’t win a fight with Daddy-and definitely didn’t dare try.


    Satisfied, Baron said in a gentler tone, “I’ll take the bottle. Make sure you send me his movements. Until I’m back, you’re to rest properly. Cyan powder doesn’t clear in one go. If you need anything-anything at all-you contact me. Asking your dad for help isn’t a weakness.”


    “Okay, okay. Got it.”


    Sean pouted and nodded.


    Baron ruffled his hair before finally walking out.


    But not long after Baron left, Sean rushed to the bathroom and coughed up a mouthful of ck blood.


    After spitting it out, though, hisplexion looked a lot better.


    Meanwhile, Baron returned to his room to fully disinfect himself, then changed clothes. He picked up the tools needed for Natalie’s skin graft and headed for the sterile room.

    To his surprise, Yvonne was slumped over in a chair-fast asleep.


    Immediately on alert, he called out, “Yvonne! Wake up!”


    But as he approached, a faintly sweet, cloying scent hit his nose.


    Sleeping incense?


    Someone had used it on her?


    Was Natalie okay?


    Baron’s face wentpletely pale. <fn0734> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? FιndNovel</fn0734>


    He rushed toward Natalie, forgetting the tools still in his hand.

    As he passed by Yvonne, the edge of the instrument brushed her hand, cutting a small sliver of skin and leaving behind a thin red line.
