Sirius and Wen Yu emerged from the attic room in Lu Zhao’s villa.

Wen Yu looked at Sirius and shook her head. “I’m afraid there isn’t any other option.”

Sirius snatched his hair. The veins on his hands were popping out.

“I’m completely to blame for this. I should not have let everyone aboard that ship for that sake of that woman. Lu Zhao would not have been poisoned if it hadn’t been for me,” Sirius hissed in frustration.

Wen Yu reached out to take Sirius’ hands off his head.

Her expression was solemn. “None of that matters now. Have you gone looking for her?”

Sirius shook his head. “Her trail went cold. The poison master’s daughter has not been found for a long time. Xiao Ting has been spending his entire time searching for her.”

They did not even know if the poison master was alive.

These dangerous, powerful individuals had their means. How could they be located so easily?

Furthermore, the blood in her daughter’s body may have miraculous properties. If people discovered her true identity, she could be kidnapped and sold as a human blood bag.

“I’ll figure something out. See if you can do something about the pain.”

Wen Yu bowed. “I looked into the medicine that Lu Wen previously gave you. It’s the same one Su Su was being controlled with. That medicine can temporarily relieve the symptoms, but if we don’t detoxify it in time, it’s going to worsen with time.”

When the poison kicked in, people would experience hallucinations at first, then go insane. In the end, one’s mind would become distorted in its entirety, making normal speech and actions impossible.

In more severe cases, they would transform into blood-drinking monsters. They would go insane and die if they did not get their fill of blood.

“How long is temporary, exactly?” Sirius inquired.

“I have a rough estimation of two-months, but…” Wen Yu stated flatly.

“Two months is sufficient. I’ll wrap it all up.” Lu Zhao’s voice came from behind them at this point.

Lu Zhao wore a simple sweater and jeans. There were no signs of poisoning other than his pale face.

His wrist, however, which was hidden beneath his sweater, had already turned purple.

“You should go to bed now…”

Lu Zhao reached the two of them before Wen Yu could finish her sentence. He swallowed the medicine in Wen Yu’s palm. “Two months, correct? That’s plenty.”

Wen Yu’s eyes were filled with concern as she looked at Lu Zhao. “I’ll definitely come up with an antidote in two months.”

Lu Zhao shook his head and passed the document to Wen Yu.

Sirius almost screamed as he looked over.

“Why did you write a will, Lu Zhao? We’ll figure out a way to keep you alive. Don’t give up so soon!” Sirius reached out to grab the will and prepare to rip it apart.

Wen Yu looked at Sirius and shook her head. “Calm down.”

“If I start going insane, just let me die and pretend I was in a car accident.” Lu Zhao spoke indifferently. It was as if he were an elderly man dying of cancer and planning his affairs.

Sirius looked at his friend with a frown.

“I’ll also give Luo Ying all of my assets, but you must tell her that this will was made before the divorce, not after.” Lu Zhao’s eyes glowed with tenderness when he mentioned Luo Ying.

He was staring down the end of his days, and he was downright terrified.

He had lived a life of hell on earth. For a time, he did not care if he lived or died. However, after meeting Luo Ying, he realized that staying in this world might not be so bad, after all.

“After my divorce, I’ll give Luo Ying the entire Lancheng Gardens villa. I’ll give her half my stocks,” Lu Zhao stated flatly.

He had left everything to Luo Ying in his will. Some of them would be handed over to the Golden Affairs Bureau’s management.

He had already discussed it with Jin Shi at the hospital. He believed their story. They were siblings who had come from another world.

He could leave Luo Ying in Jin Shi’s hands.

He had sat beside Luo Ying and watched her for a long time before leaving the hospital.

If Luo Ying truly came from another world, he hoped she could return to her nome world. pernaps ne snould nave Deen less 0Dsessec1 witn ner.

The sound of a combination lock rang out at the door at this point, and the door was opened..
