Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Chapter 286 Lela Begins to Suspect

Watching Lela's dejected figure, Martin and the others just assumed that Lela was in a bad mood because of Sylvester's severe condition.

Philip held back his emotions, feeling the warmth in his palm fade, and sighed, "I don't really get why Robert would share this forbidden method with Sarah." Martin, however, didn't doubt it and held Philip's hand. "Maybe Robert also sees Sarah as the next successor and decided to tell her."

Philip nodded, thinking that might be the case, but there was always a sense of foreboding in her heart.

But why she was in such a bad mood? Philip couldn't know.

"Forget it. Let's focus on how to make the potion and cure Mr. Gomez first."

Philip thought of the urgent matter at hand and didn't dwell on Lela's words.

"And remember, Mr. Gomez's illness stays between us. We can't let it get out, understood?"

"Got it!" Martin responded.

Lela came out of the underground lab at Apricot Grove Hall and went to Sylvester's bedside. She just glanced at him briefly before turning to leave. Trenton came in with Scarlett from outside and saw Lela leaving. He stopped her and said, "Lela, where are you going?"
