Chapter 57
Freya adored her brother. At that moment, she didn’t seem like the arrogant star people talked about online.
“I’m still busy. Let’s plan to grab dinner when I have some free time,” Odalys said softly.
Hearing that Odalys was occupied. Freya didn’t press her any further. “Alright, just send me a WhatsApp when you’re done.
Bye.”
Once the call ended. Odalys immediately began working with the herbs. She grabbed a bottle nearby, tore off the paper charm, and mised the herbs with snake gall..
When she saw the powdered herbs enveloping the snake gall, she stood up and took a small container of magic dust. Drawing a circle in the air, she quickly wrote a series of characters, then whispered, “Rise.”
The bottle containing the poison and the herbs floated into the air, the paper charm igniting it into a blazing fire that continued to burn.
A pungent medicinal scent filled the air, and half an hour later, the bottle dropped to the ground. Odalys swiftly caught it as it fell. Looking at the pill made from the paper charm, she turned and walked toward the door.
“Hi. Mrs. Stewart.” Dorian nervously stood outside, waiting for her to exit. As soon as he saw her, he hurried over and softly asked. “Is there anything I can help with?”
Odalys glanced at Dorian, noting his eager expression. “Did you get your CT scan?” she asked, her lips curling into a half-
smile.
Dorian, slightly embarrassed, scratched his head. He quickly pulled out the CT scan and handed it to her, speaking excitedly. “Mrs. Stewart, you were right. I went for the CT scan, and it turns out I have kidney stones.”
“The doctor said they’re small stones, scattered everywhere. It’s probably hard to treat, and they’re worried that after using lasers, they’ll just come back.” Dorian swallowed hard.
He felt panicked. When he received the CT results, he had been completely dazed. If Odalys hadn’t reminded him to get it checked, the small stones in his kidneys would have grown over me, eventually pressing down on his kidneys.
If left untreated for too long, it could have become life–threatening.
“It’s okay. I’ll prescribe some medication tomorrow. After a few days, the stones should pass,” Odalys said softly.
Dorian was taken aback, looking at her in disbelief. “Really? Thank you so much, Mrs. Stewart!” Dorian’s eyes welled up with
emotion.
After hearing the doctor’s words and realizing how much pain he would endure, especially at his age, Dorian nearly broke down. Kidney stones and gallstones were tough to handle.
With good luck, a single laser treatment could do the job, but with bad luck, it might require several treatments, damaging the body over time
“Come see me tomorrow at noon,” Odalys said, cutting through is thoughts. She turned toward Percival’s room and knocked on the door. The door opened in response.
Odalys stepped inside, noticing that the door was only halfway open. Clearly, Percival had left it that way for her. “Percival,” Odalys called sofily.
She could vaguely hear muffled groans coming from the

Odalys pushed open the door to see Percival standing at the sink his arms braced against the edges of the basin. The veins on his arms were bulging. It was obvious that he was fighting against intense pain.

But the pain in his body surged like a tidal wave, gnawing at every nerve inside him, roaring to break free and him. Veins popped up on his skin, growing larger as though they night tear through his skin. Eventually, a blood vessel
burst.
“P” A stream of blood rushed from his throat, splattering onto the mirror in front of him.
The bright red blood slid down the mirror, dripping onto Percival’s large, broad hand, contrasting sharply with his skin. The sight was eye–catching and unsettling.
Percival raised his eyes, staring at the mirror where Odalys‘ reflection was visible. He quickly turned his head to look at the door. He hadn’t noticed when Odalys had entered, but she was now standing beside him.
Percival hastily raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressing the agony in his body. His eyes narrowed slightly, but his voice softened remarkably. “Why did you get here?” Percival asked in a low, raspy voice.
Odalys had said eleven o’clock, and it was still only ten, a full hour ahead of the time she had mentioned.
Odalys frowned slightly, reached out, and grabbed his arm, turning his large body toward her. She could see the poison moving under his skin, already starting to spread within his body
“The poison has already taken effect. Why didn’t you come find me?” Odalys voice carried a hint of surprise.
She could hardly believe that someone could be so powerful, even with the poison spreading within them, and still maintain their composure, standing calmly in front of her,
If it were anyone else, they would likely be writhing in pain by now, possibly even losing their sanity and harming themselves. But Percival had not.
Having practiced medicine for years, this was the most enduring person Odalys had ever seen. There was no one else like him
You said eleven o’clock. I didn’t want to disturb you” Percival replied in a hoarse voice. As he spoke, another gush of blood surged from his throat. He tried to hold it back, but a trickle of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.
Dorian, who had been standing behind, was horrified and felt his legs go weak. “Mr. Stewart!” Dorian rushed forward, alarmed
Though Dorian had seen Percival on the brink of death multiple times, the sight still made his heart ache painfully. Percival was the one Dorian had raised.
To Dorian, Percival was like a child he had cared for, even though they weren’t related by blood. He had taken Percival as his
“Dorian, turn on the water,” Odalys said quietly. Dorian stood frozen for a moment, a bit stunned, before finally reacting
He rushed forward, turned on the faucet, and water started pouring into the bathtub. Odalys quickly took the pill she had prepared and placed it in Percival’s mouth.
The bitter taste spread throughout Percival’s mouth, and he frowned slightly but swallowed it down. As soon as the pill went down Odalys placed a hand on his chest and gave it a firm slap.
“Pifi” Percival felt his chest churn, and another stream of blood burst from his mouth. Odalys held him up and pushed him into the bathtub. His large body fell into the water with a splash and water splashed up, soaking her nightgown halfway.
Percival lay there as she pressed him down, her lingers gliding across his arm, then pressing firmly on the side of his neck. sliting open the vein.

Fresh blood started to pour out, and Dorian watched in shock, unable to believe what he was seeing. He had never expected Odalys to allow Percival’s blood to flow like this.
“If you trust me, then you should leave now,” Odalys said, clearly sensing Dorian’s hesitation.
Dorian clenched his fists tightly. After a few seconds, he quickly turned and walked toward the door. Just as he was about to close it, he glanced back and saw the bathtub filled with blood, turning red.
Dorian’s eyes were red with tears that were threatening to spill. He stood frozen outside the door, not daring to move a step, as the metallic smell of blood filled the air.
Mr. Stewart, you have to be alright. God, please, please keep Mr. Stewart safe,” Dorian whispered, his eyes squeezed shut as he muttered a prayer
