The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 1324

 

Chapter 1324 

The stealth weapon and the poison on the weapon were still hidden inside the wound. 

 

With an urgent tone, Rio asked, “Ms. Garcia, have you figured out anything? What kind of poison has Mr. Cox been afflicted with?” 

Neera bit her lip and said, “It’s cottonmouth venom.” 

“Cottonmouth venom?” Everyone present had never heard of this type of snake, completely unaware of its potency. 

Neera said with a grave expression, “Cottonmouth is a semi-aquatic creature. It should be quite common on small islands like this one. The venom of this snake is hemotoxic, which can severely damage human tissues. The infected area will quickly swell, harden, and bleed incessantly, causing unbearable pain.” 

She glanced again at Avery’s wound, her forehead already beaded with a layer of cold sweat. 

“Judging by the state of his wound now, the snake venom should have already spread throughout his body.” 

Having said that, she laid him down and began to take his pulse. 

Rio was sweating profusely in his anxiety and quickly asked, “So, is the venom of this cottonmouth very potent, compared to, say, a rattlesnake?* 

Neera didn’t respond immediately, only pulling back her hand after a moment. Her expression grew even more unpleasant. 

“Cottonmouth is far more dangerous than a rattlesnake. Its venom is extremely potent. Right now, Mr. Cox’s pulse. is very weak. We must detoxify him as soon as possible. Do you have a sterile room here?” 

Ronald nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes! Due to Mr. Cox’s poor health, every place he resides is equipped with a fully stocked medical room.” 

Neera nodded and said, “Take him there immediately. I need to start the rescue operation right away.” 

When it came to the life and death of Avery, no one dared to waste time. 

Without a word, Irwin helped Avery up and, along with another subordinate, carried him out. 

Neera followed them downstairs, with Violet following closely behind. 

Her nervousness and fear were plainly visible. Neera saw it and sighed inwardly. 

After all, she was still a young girl. No matter how strong she might be, there were moments when she too would feel fear. 

“Neenie, Satan will be okay, right? You can cure him, can’t you?” 

Ever since Jean arrived, Avery’s mind had been in a whirl. It had been a long time since she had addressed someone so intimately. 

Neera walked to the corner of the stairs, stopped in her tracks, and looked at her earnestly. 

“I will do my utmost, but the situation is currently beyond my control, so I can’t make any guarantees. All I can say is, I will exhaust all my knowledge and skills to save his life.” 

Violet’s eyes suddenly reddened, and large teardrops began to fall.

She had never cried in front of others, nor had she ever shown her vulnerability and helplessness to anyone. 

But this time, she couldn’t help but cry. She even wanted to sob uncontrollably. 

She clung to the hem of Neera’s clothes, her heart about to shatter. 

“Please, Neenie, I beg you. You must help Satan get better. I don’t want to lose him…” 

Neera was overwhelmed with mixed emotions and could only offer her an encouraging hug.

After descending the stairs, she discovered that people from both the Cox and Gordon families were present. 

Upon seeing her, Albert still wore that disdainful look, showing clear disgust. 

She couldn’t be bothered to deal with it. Instead, she turned to Chad and Adriana. “Uncle Chad, Aunt Adriana, what brings you both here?” 

Chad looked serious. “I heard that Avery has been seriously injured. I’m worried, so I came to see him.” 

Adriana asked, “I saw them carry Avery down to the basement. Are they going to perform surgery?” 

Neera nodded. “He’s been poisoned by a cottonmouth. His life is hanging by a thread. I must quickly save him.” 

Time waits for no one. She didn’t dare to waste time. After hurriedly saying a few words, she was ready to leave when Jean stopped her.
