Chaper 973


    Arabe continued to administer the injections, simultaneously sending one of her subordinates to fetch


    the recently developed pills from herb.


    After swallowing one, Carol seemed to regain some strength. With her eyelids barely lifted, she


    managed to whisper, "Thank you, Arabe."


    She was feeling much better now.


    At least the pain wasn''t as excruciating as before.


    “What''s the need for formalities? Just rest up,’ Arabe said as she put away the needles. “This pill


    should keep you safe for the next 12 hours."


    In other words, the poison wouldn''t act up for the next 12 hours.


    She could finally get some rest.


    “Be, if the poison in her system keeps acting up at irregr intervals, what can we do? Is there a


    quick way to alleviate her pain?" rk asked.


    “These two pills, only take them if absolutely necessary,’ Arabe handed over a small bottle. "They''re


    very potent, and I worry her body might not be able to handle it.


    rk nodded, securing the bottle in his grasp.


    “We have a ne waiting outside. Once we''re back home, I''ll need to run some blood tests."

    Arabe wasn''t sure what kind of poison Carol had been exposed to, so for now, all she could do was


    help with the pain and figure out a treatment nter.


    Looking at Carol, who was lying weakly on the couch, Arabe said gently, “She used to treat herself


    with poison to counteract the poison. This has made the toxin in her body increasinglyplex and


    difficult to neutralize."


    Carol lifted her weak eyelids, looking at Arabe in surprise. She hadn''t expected the young woman to


    know about her unique form of treatment.


    "The medicine you hid in the vitamin C bottle, I took some for testing,"


    Arabe exined. "I apologize for barging into your room without your permission."


    “I know you were helping rk find clues. If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t be here. So, it''s me who


    should thank you,’ Carol weakly smiled. "Thank you, Arabe. I owe you my life twice over"


    Once was when Chester attacked her, and Arabe risked her life to save her.


    And now, with this poison. Be had helped her detox three times since yesterday!


    "You also saved me. We''re like family. There''s no need for thanks,’ Arabe looked at rk. "Can you


    carry Carol, or should I have my people do it?"


    The ne was waiting outside; it was time to leave.


    “Lean do it,” rk stated confidently.


    “Then, let''s get going."


    As soon as Arabe finished speaking, Romeo, standing next to them, scooped her up in his arms.


    "Oh, by the way, Be is my sister, and this is my brother-inw, Romeo,’ rk introduced formally.


    Only then did Carol take a good look at the man next to her. She hadn''t noticed anyone else when she


    was in excruciating pain.


    Now, knowing that Romeo was Edith''s future brother-inw and the current richest man, she was


    surprised. No wonder Edith mentioned that her sister and brother-inw would see this through.


    They certainly had the means to do so.


    “Hello” Carol simply nodded, her pale face wearing a mild smile.


    “Hello, Carol” Romeo also greeted her, then turned to Arabe in his arms and said, "Everything''s been


    arranged back home. Let''s leave."


    The fish were practically jumping into their.


    “Okay, Arabe nodded.


    rk gently lifted Carol, "Does it hurt?"


    Though Carol shook her head, her face shed a pained expression. rk felt a pang of guilt, “Did I


    touch your wound? I''m sorry. I''m so clumsy.


    “I''m fine,’ Carol reassured him with a smile.


    Seeing her pale smile, rk decided that he''d make sure to help her regain her strength when they got


    back. She was much too thin and lightweight now.
