Love at First Novel

Chapter 3604

Even though they had returned to normal and stopped twitching, they still needed to take the antidote developed by Lilian to be fully cured. But even then, they wouldn’t be completely fine—they would still feel uncomfortable for a day or two afterward. Is this person really a doctor? More like a poison doctor. Lilian noticed that they had stopped twitching, and before they could get up, she moved forward to retrieve her needles. No one dared to say a word. Those tiny needles, with just a bit of poison, had left them writhing as if they were having seizures. “Antidote!” After Lilian pulled the needle from Clarissa, Clarissa grabbed one of her wrists. Glaring at her and gritting her teeth, Clarissa demanded, “Dr. Carden, give me the antidote!” The pain and embarrassment she had just endured were unbearable. Clarissa didn’t want to go through it again. She just wanted the antidote quickly to eliminate the poison from her body. Lilian shook her hand free and said, “Get in line, from youngest to oldest. Since you’re the oldest, you go to the end of the line. No one can cut in line. Don’t even think about lying about your age. If I find out you lied, I won’t give you any medicine—not today, not tomorrow, not ever.” She added, “I don’t have much antidote today. I can only give each of you a quarter dose, so you’ll have to continue taking it for the next three days.” Clarissa’s face darkened with anger. She felt that Lilian was intentionally humiliating her. Audrey glanced at Clarissa’s dark expression and whispered to her husband, “Honey, since Dr. Carden arrived, we’ve always treated her with respect, haven’t we? Think carefully—have we ever offended her or neglected her in any way?” Dr. Carden appeared easygoing and was also beautiful, but when she caused trouble, even a strong man might not be able to handle it. After a moment of thought, Darrell whispered back, “No, absolutely not. We’ve always treated Dr. Carden with the utmost courtesy.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

They knew Lilian was the apprentice of the miracle doctor, who had passed on his exceptional medical skills to her. So, whenever Lilian visited Wiltspoon, those lucky enough to meet her treated her with the highest respect, as a distinguished guest. How could they possibly offend her? Everyone gets sick eventually. Who wouldn’t want to be friends with someone like Dr. Carden, who possessed such superb medical skills? It’s just common sense—everyone wanted to stay on good terms with Dr. Carden, in case they or their family needed treatment in the future. Camryn had been blind for ten years, but Dr. Carden restored her sight with just one operation. Lilian had already explained that Camryn’s eyesight was partially restored thanks to her predecessors’ work; the credit wasn’t entirely hers. However, if Lilian hadn’t been called in to treat her, Camryn wouldn’t have regained her sight so quickly. She also discovered other reasons for Camryn’s condition. “Dr. Carden,” Clarissa said, suppressing her anger, “I apologize for my earlier actions. I shouldn’t have allowed them to block your way, and I shouldn’t have let my bodyguards disrespect you. Dr. Carden, you are very generous and tolerant. Please don’t hold a grudge against an old woman like me. Dr. Carden, could you please give me the antidote?” Lilian replied, “I told you to line up to get the medicine. Can’t you hear me? Or don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Clarissa was speechless. Her bodyguards had already lined up according to their ages. Clarissa looked at Audrey. Audrey looked up at the sky. Darrell also looked up at the sky. Clarissa was so angry that her teeth were grinding. But in order to survive, she still lined up behind her bodyguards.

As she waited, a fire started to burn within her. Even if Lilian was as powerful as she seemed, when surrounded by flames, could she really lead everyone out of the inferno?
