My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig novel Chapter 199

Neil looked at Loid for further instructions.

Loid nodded. Then, Neil said, "You can go in and take a quick look. Mr. Laurier Senior is very weak now. He must not be disturbed while he's resting."

The Lauriers flocked into the room after he said that.

When no one was around, Neil said softly, "Ms. Brooks, I did as you said. I sealed Mr. Laurier Senior's blood flow with the needles. He is awake now, but the poison is still spreading in his body.

"We might be able to fool them for a while, but what will we do when the jig is up?"

When Lily bumped into him just now, she handed him a pill discreetly. He immediately understood what he needed to do.

Then, when he entered the room, Lily sent him a text telling him to seal Arthur's pressure points with the silver needles.

He had been doing all he could to learn about a human's body structure and pressure points in order to study medicine under Lily.

Luckily, he could pull off the things Lily told him to do. He has observed Lily performing acupuncture before. It wasn't too hard.

"Grandpa Arthur is fine. He's not inflicted with the Bloodbane poison." Lily leaned on Loid's chest lazily. She was a little fatigued.

"It's not the Bloodbane poison? But his symptoms are the same as Loid's." Neil was shocked.

"The symptoms might be the same, but the poison is still different. He is poisoned with something that's very similar to the Bloodbane poison. It is very fast-acting and easily mistaken as the Bloodbane poison.

"In reality, the victim will be fine when the poison is ejected from their system. It's just that Grandpa Arthur is quite old. It'll be hard to remove the poison from his body completely. Go cook up a bowl of herbal medicine for him after they leave."

Neil was still a little confused. "But why would they go through the trouble of getting a poison that's similar to the Bloodbane poison? Is it to ensure you're the miracle doctor Loid talked about?"

"Probably. Other than that, they also want to test if I can differentiate the two poisons," Lily said calmly.

When the poison was in effect, Lily could tell that someone in the Laurier family figured out that she had a hand in curing Loid. They wanted to force her to save Arthur.
