“Hades, here’s the blood sample test report you requested.” It had been a while since Ashlyn had fainted, and the blood test report came back much quicker than when Neil had fainted last time.
Katelyn examined the report. The substance was indeed a neurotoxin, but it differed from the one Neil had encountered. From her initial assessment, Katelyn deduced that it was a slow-acting toxin.
However, Katelyn noticed something unusual. She instructed calmly, “Administer a dose of the toxic herb solvent.”
The doctors remained calm this time, as they had witnessed Katelyn use poison to counteract poison with Neil before. Without hesitation, they immediately started following her orders.
Once the procedures were complete, Katelyn directed, “As usual, keep my identity confidential and then move her to a regular ward.”
“Okay!” The medical team acknowledged immediately, ready to follow her instructions.
Twenty minutes later, Katelyn was back in her usual clothes, sitting beside Ashlyn’s bed in the regular ward. Ashlyn’s eyes fluttered open, her gaze weak as she looked at Katelyn.
As Ashlyn attempted to sit up, Katelyn gently pressed her arm down, advising, “Don’t move too much. You need to rest. The doctor confirmed there are no serious issues.”
Without the hospital’s sophisticated blood analysis tools, the toxins in her blood would have gone undetected. Typically, doctors might have mistaken her symptoms for low blood sugar, which could have misled them until she fainted.
Ashlyn felt a wave of relief, realizing that Katelyn hadn’t detected anything abnormal about her condition. With a weak smile, she murmured to Katelyn, “Did you bring me here? Thank you.”
As long as the toxins remained undetected, Sophia wouldn’t suspect that Ashlyn was violating their agreement. Katelyn responded casually, “Don’t mention it.”

Although the toxins in Ashlyn were different from those in Neil, they appeared to have been administered by the same person. But if Sophia was behind this, why would she target Ashlyn? Katelyn was puzzled by the motive.
She reassured Ashlyn, saying, “I’ve informed your contacts. They should be here shortly to look after you.”
Katelyn had considered asking more questions, but seeing Ashlyn’s condition, she decided it was best not to press further. She stood up, filled a glass with water, inserted a straw, and held it to Ashlyn’s lips, suggesting, “If you need any help while you’re in Granville, don’t hesitate to contact me.”
Her words were thoughtful, but considering Ashlyn’s situation, it was likely that she needed to secretly arrange for someone to keep an eye on Ashlyn. No one connected to Sophia could be overlooked.
After sipping the water, Ashlyn felt a soothing relief in her throat. She expressed her gratitude with a nod and said, “I’m glad our paths crossed here in Granville.”
Although their first interactions had been unpleasant, it had no impact on their relationship moving forward.
