Married at First Sight

Chapter 3605

Lilian handed out the medicine in the order of the queue. After receiving the medicine, the bodyguards of the Farrell family hesitated about whether to take it or not. Lilian said, “You’re all poisoned, so why are you afraid of my medicine? This is an antidote. After taking it, it can slightly relieve the numbness in your body. Don’t you feel numb and uncomfortable?” The bodyguards exchanged glances. Though they had stopped twitching, they still felt numb and uncomfortable. However, they were not as skilled as Lilian, and after learning her identity, they dared not act against her. It turned out that this young woman was a disciple of the miracle doctor and the fourth young lady of the Johnson family. They had never heard of the miracle doctor, but the fourth young lady of the Johnson family was well-known—a very powerful woman. When the Lafayette family in Meadspring was in trouble, Dr. Carden had gone to assist them. The Johnson family had connections with the York family, but they hadn’t expected the relationship to be so close that the fourth young lady of the Johnson family would be involved. Soon, the bodyguards decided to take the medicine. Once someone took the lead, the others followed. When it was Clarissa’s turn to receive the medicine, Lilian spread her hands and said, “Mrs. Farrell, I’m sorry, but there’s no medicine left for you. I had too little medicine, and there are too many of you, so there wasn’t enough to go around. Who told you to be so old? It’s okay, old woman, you’ve lived long enough anyway. Just bear with it, and it’ll pass.” Clarissa was speechless. This was deliberate; Lilian was definitely being deliberate. When Lilian said there was no medicine left, Clarissa looked at her two personal bodyguards. They immediately handed the small amount of medicine Lilian had given them to Clarissa. Clarissa didn’t bother with pleasantries; she grabbed the medicine and swallowed it. The poison developed by Lilian had taken effect quickly, and the antidote she provided was just as effective.

Soon after, Clarissa felt the numbness subside, though it hadn’t completely disappeared. It was tolerable. The two bodyguards who didn’t take the medicine were not as fortunate. The numbness wasn’t painful, but it felt like ants were crawling inside their bodies, causing a slight itch. If they scratched, they couldn’t pinpoint the exact spot, and even if they did, the itch remained. It was quite uncomfortable. Clarissa looked at Mr. Jimenez standing before her sister’s grave. Due to his advanced age, he no longer appeared as handsome as she remembered. Mr. Jimenez had his back to Clarissa. She hadn’t seen his face yet and didn’t know what he looked like after decades of not seeing him. With Lilian, who was skilled in using poison, watching closely, Clarissa was tactful and just stood there without moving forward. But her eyes remained glued to Mr. Jimenez, watching as he slowly squatted down and gently touched the tombstone, though he did not touch her sister’s portrait. It wasn’t that Mr. Jimenez didn’t want to, but he didn’t dare. In his heart, Clarissa’s sister was his world. He respected her deeply. No matter what his feelings for the head of the family were, he always respected her and didn’t dare to offend her in the slightest. Even touching the portrait on the tombstone felt like an offense to the head of the family. He was whispering something, but Clarissa couldn’t hear it clearly. Clarissa only knew that her heart was filled with bitterness. In his eyes, she would always be Mr. Jimenez’s master’s younger sister. Earlier, Mr. Jimenez had walked past her while she was twitching on the ground without even glancing at her. How was she inferior to her sister? Mr. Jimenez and his master communed for a long time before he finally stood up. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
