She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 457

Without waiting for Lucian to reply, Zeke turned and walked away. Baldwin and the others quickly followed his steps. Only Joanna hesitated for a moment, extending her umbrella over the man's head, her tone nervous. "S-son, the rain is heavy. Let me walk you back to the tent first. Tending to your wounds is the priority."

This sudden comfort was so unfamiliar that Lucian had no idea how to handle it. With a cold face, he avoided her umbrella. "No need, thank you."

Under the heavy rain, watching the man's back as he was supported back to the tent, Joanna bit her lip hard.

Lucian only suffered superficial wounds, and other medics were handling it. Loyce prioritized checking the poisoning status of her brother and the team members who went into the mountain with him.

Robert handed the samples they collected from the vein to Loyce. "This is all we could bring back. The avalanche happened too fast. We accidentally lost some samples during the escape. I don't know if that will affect anything."

Loyce took the samples. "It's fine. Leave the rest to me."

Robert nodded. "If you need anything, communicate with the people outside anytime. I'm going to report to the Admiral."

Loyce put on a mask and gloves, quickly checking the condition of all the poisoned personnel, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

She first checked Forrest, who looked the most severe. She examined his blood, organ status, and the surface reactions on his skin. Then she tried to find a matching toxin among the samples to create the same reaction. But after several attempts, she couldn't synthesize a suitable antidote.

Two others shared the same condition as Forrest.

The samples Lucian and his team risked their lives to bring back were tested and analyzed one by one by Loyce. Shockingly, not a single one matched the poison the three of them contracted.

However, the other five had severe symptoms, but their toxin components matched the samples Lucian brought back and fell within the range of antidotes she brought.

While feeling helpless, she could only pivot to formulating the antidote for those five and hand it over to the medics to administer.

Within an hour, the medics constantly monitoring their status brought good news. The five stabilized gradually after the injection. But when the same antidote was used on Forrest and the other two, not only did it fail to work, but the interaction of multiple toxins started causing organ failure.

"The poison Mr. Lonsdale contracted isn't in these reference samples." The medic noticed the problem too, frowning. "Under the current circumstances, once the organs enter the failure stage, even God can't save them."

Loyce looked down at a series of complex data. "I'll handle this. Keep their vitals stable for now."

Once the medic left, Loyce stared at the erratic data on the monitor. After a long silence, she arrived at an incredibly thorny truth.
