Chapter 273

In the Union Clinic, Lewis lay back on the same bed he had been brought to earlier.
His condition had improved. Aside from a slight slur in his speech, he didn’t look anything like someone who had just been at death’s door.
After learning that Felicia saved him, he said, “Ms. Fuller, you’re truly a miracle healer. To show my gratitude, I’ll make sure the consultation fee this time is—”
“Don’t be so quick to celebrate,” Felicia interrupted, glancing at Olivia before she spoke again. “The reason Mr. Adler suddenly lost consciousness, convulsed, and bit his tongue wasn’t due to illness. Someone placed a venomous creature inside him.” A venomous creature? Lewis and Olivia stared at her in shock. They thought, “Can something so unbelievable be real? Is she lying?”
Felicia could tell from their expressions that they were skeptical.
“Let me show you then. Hold out your arm,” she said.
Lewis immediately stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeve.
She picked up a silver needle, pricked his skin, and a small drop of blood appeared. Olivia leaned in for a closer look-and saw something wriggling beneath his pale skin.
“Ah!” Olivia gasped. “There’s a bug in there!”
Felicia’s eyes glinted. “That’s the venomous creature. And not just any venomous creature-it’s a rare twin venomous creature.”
Trembling, Lewis stammered, “Dr. Fuller, you have to help me get this… this twin whatever-it’s-called out! What if it starts eating my flesh or drinking my blood? What if it gets into my stomach?”
No sooner had he spoken than the bug slithered toward the drop of blood, and with a quick sip, it was gone.
Olivia clasped her hands over her mouth in horror.
Lewis almost fainted at the sight. This thing was going to be the death of him!
After drinking that bit of blood, the venomous creature continued to move up his arm, eventually disappearing near his heart.
Before seeing it with his own eyes, he had half-believed Felicia’s words, thinking she was just using scare tactics to drive up her consultation fee.
But now, after witnessing it firsthand, he was ready to fall to his knees and beg. “Ms. Fuller, please save me! Get this bug out of me I’m so terrified that my skin is crawling!”
Olivia pleaded as well, “Felicia, I’m begging you. I apologize for everything in the past. You can hit me or scold me just please, save my dad!”
Felicia shook her head. “If it were an ordinary venomous creature, I’d have already removed it. But this one is the seedling of the twin venomous creature. If the seedling is removed, it’s fatal.”
“Is…” Olivia stammered. “Isn’t there any way to cure it?”
“There is. If he wants to live, he’ll need to find the person who placed the venomous creature on him. That person will have the primordial, and only then can I save his life.”
After a pause, Felicia offered a helpful hint. twin venomous creature works by having the seedling endure twice as much pain inflicted on the primordial. In other words, someone’s using it to ensure they drag you down with them.
“Think carefully, Mr. Adler. Did you have any recent contact with enemies or anyone you might’ve crossed?”
“No, absolutely not!” Lewis vowed. “I haven’t been in contact with anyone recently, let alone any enemies!”
“Let’s look at this differently then,” she said calmly. “The seasoned physicians here mentioned earlier, that you had issues with kidney deficiency, and that’s accurate So, Mr. Adler, perhaps you should consider where that deficiency might have come from?”
He might not have been in contact with other people, but could he say the same about women?
His face turned white, caught in utter embarrassment.
