"That’s it?"
Melinda was taken aback for a while, then she spoke.
'The poison has been in his body for a long time now. It's a very strange poison. It’ll only chip away at his life bit by bit. All the machinery that those western doctors use, won’t be able to detect anything. Even I could only use my medicine to seep through his skin bit by bit, slowly expelling the poison. There’s definitely no shortterm solution to this!"
Fane explained, smiling wanly.
"If what you said about my father being the one who administered the poison is true, what should we do? He’ll definitely continue to administer the poison!”
Fear rippled throughout Melinda once she gave it a thought.
"Gasp!"
At this moment, the old master abruptly spat a mouthful of poisoned blood, and he regained the ability to speak.
He was extremely weak. When he spoke, his voice was harsh and gravelly. "That ungrateful b*stard! That good-for-nothing, backstabbing, lying moron! I really want to strangle him with my own two hands!"
"Grandpa, you can talk now! Tell me, why did Father poison you?”
Melinda immediately asked.
"That ungrateful pig! I advised him to stop doing unsavory business, to stop doing all sorts of monstrous deeds. He must have poisoned me in secret!"
The old master clenched his teeth. Fury practically steamed from his ears.
"When? Can you tell me, sir?"
Fane asked, looking at the old man.
