Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 57 Freya adored her brother .

At that moment , she didnt seem like the arrogant star people talked about online .

Im still busy .

Lets plan to grab dinner when I have some free time , Odalys said softly .

Hearing that Odalys was occupied .

Freya didnt press her any further .

Alright , just send me a WhatsApp when youre done .

Bye .

Once the call ended .

Odalys immediately began working with the herbs .

She grabbed a bottle nearby , tore off the paper charm , and mised the herbs with snake gall ..

When she saw the powdered herbs enveloping the snake gall , she stood up and took a small container of magic dust .

Drawing a circle in the air , she quickly wrote a series of characters , then whispered , Rise .

The bottle containing the poison and the herbs floated into the air , the paper charm igniting it into a blazing fire that continued to burn .

A pungent medicinal scent filled the air , and half an hour later , the bottle dropped to the ground .

Odalys swiftly caught it as it fell .

Looking at the pill made from the paper charm , she turned and walked toward the door .

Hi .

Mrs.

Stewart .

Dorian nervously stood outside , waiting for her to exit .

As soon as he saw her , he hurried over and softly asked .

Is there anything I can help with ? Odalys glanced at Dorian , noting his eager expression .

Did you get your CT scan ? she asked , her lips curling into a half- smile .

Dorian , slightly embarrassed , scratched his head .

He quickly pulled out the CT scan and handed it to her , speaking excitedly .

Mrs.

Stewart , you were right .

I went for the CT scan , and it turns out I have kidney stones .

The doctor said theyre small stones , scattered everywhere .

Its probably hard to treat , and theyre worried that after using lasers , theyll just come back .

Dorian swallowed hard .

He felt panicked .

When he received the CT results , he had been completely dazed .

If Odalys hadnt reminded him to get it checked , the small stones in his kidneys would have grown over me , eventually pressing down on his kidneys .

If left untreated for too long , it could have become life threatening .

Its okay .

Ill prescribe some medication tomorrow .

After a few days , the stones should pass , Odalys said softly .

Dorian was taken aback , looking at her in disbelief .

Really ? Thank you so much , Mrs.

Stewart ! Dorians eyes welled up with emotion .

After hearing the doctors words and realizing how much pain he would endure , especially at his age , Dorian nearly broke down .

Kidney stones and gallstones were tough to handle .

With good luck , a single laser treatment could do the job , but with bad luck , it might require several treatments , damaging the body over time Come see me tomorrow at noon , Odalys said , cutting through is thoughts .

She turned toward Percivals room and knocked on the door .

The door opened in response .

Odalys stepped inside , noticing that the door was only halfway open .

Clearly , Percival had left it that way for her .

Percival , Odalys called sofily .

She could vaguely hear muffled groans coming from the com , low , strained sounds as if he were trying to suppress some emotion Ugh , ah The noises grew clearer as she approached .

19:11 Mon , Jan 6 BG- Chapter 57 66 % Odalys pushed open the door to see Percival standing at the sink his arms braced against the edges of the basin .

The veins on his arms were bulging .

It was obvious that he was fighting against intense pain .

overpower But the pain in his body surged like a tidal wave , gnawing at every nerve inside him , roaring to break free and him .

Veins popped up on his skin , growing larger as though they night tear through his skin .

Eventually , a blood vessel burst .

P A stream of blood rushed from his throat , splattering onto the mirror in front of him .

The bright red blood slid down the mirror , dripping onto Percivals large , broad hand , contrasting sharply with his skin .

The sight was eye catching and unsettling .

Percival raised his eyes , staring at the mirror where Odalys reflection was visible .

He quickly turned his head to look at the door .

He hadnt noticed when Odalys had entered , but she was now standing beside him .

Percival hastily raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth , suppressing the agony in his body .

His eyes narrowed slightly , but his voice softened remarkably .

Why did you get here ? Percival asked in a low , raspy voice .

Odalys had said eleven oclock , and it was still only ten , a full hour ahead of the time she had mentioned .

Odalys frowned slightly , reached out , and grabbed his arm , turning his large body toward her .

She could see the poison moving under his skin , already starting to spread within his body The poison has already taken effect .

Why didnt you come find me ? Odalys voice carried a hint of surprise .

She could hardly believe that someone could be so powerful , even with the poison spreading within them , and still maintain their composure , standing calmly in front of her , If it were anyone else , they would likely be writhing in pain by now , possibly even losing their sanity and harming themselves .

But Percival had not .

Having practiced medicine for years , this was the most enduring person Odalys had ever seen .

There was no one else like him You said eleven oclock .

I didnt want to disturb you Percival replied in a hoarse voice .

As he spoke , another gush of blood surged from his throat .

He tried to hold it back , but a trickle of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth .

Dorian , who had been standing behind , was horrified and felt his legs go weak .

Mr.

Stewart ! Dorian rushed forward , alarmed Though Dorian had seen Percival on the brink of death multiple times , the sight still made his heart ache painfully .

Percival was the one Dorian had raised .

To Dorian , Percival was like a child he had cared for , even though they werent related by blood .

He had taken Percival as his Dorian , turn on the water , Odalys said quietly .

Dorian stood frozen for a moment , a bit stunned , before finally reacting He rushed forward , turned on the faucet , and water started pouring into the bathtub .

Odalys quickly took the pill she had prepared and placed it in Percivals mouth .

The bitter taste spread throughout Percivals mouth , and he frowned slightly but swallowed it down .

As soon as the pill went down Odalys placed a hand on his chest and gave it a firm slap .

Pifi Percival felt his chest churn , and another stream of blood burst from his mouth .

Odalys held him up and pushed him into the bathtub .

His large body fell into the water with a splash and water splashed up , soaking her nightgown halfway .

Percival lay there as she pressed him down , her lingers gliding across his arm , then pressing firmly on the side of his neck .

sliting open the vein .

I 모 66 Chapter 57 Fresh blood started to pour out , and Dorian watched in shock , unable to believe what he was seeing .

He had never expected Odalys to allow Percivals blood to flow like this .

If you trust me , then you should leave now , Odalys said , clearly sensing Dorians hesitation .

Dorian clenched his fists tightly .

After a few seconds , he quickly turned and walked toward the door .

Just as he was about to close it , he glanced back and saw the bathtub filled with blood , turning red .

Dorians eyes were red with tears that were threatening to spill .

He stood frozen outside the door , not daring to move a step , as the metallic smell of blood filled the air .

Mr.

Stewart , you have to be alright .

God , please , please keep Mr.

Stewart safe , Dorian whispered , his eyes squeezed shut as he muttered a prayer SEND GIFT
