Chapter 231

Natalia was clueless about the potency of the drug she'd been given.

All she knew was that it was leagues more powerful than anything Gideon had ever given her.

With Gideon's concoction, she could at least hold onto her consciousness.

But that night, she'd been completely out of control.

Seeing the confusion on Natalia's face, Scarlett suddenly grew impatient.

"Natalia, do you even know what that was?"

Natalia frowned at her, "Is something wrong?"

Scarlett stepped closer, gripping her hand, a whirlwind of emotions in her heart.

"That drug... it's odorless, tasteless, and worst of all, irreversible."

At Scarlett's words, Natalia's heart skipped a beat.

"Irreversible?"

Scarlett grimaced at the mention.

She couldn't fathom why anyone would create such a thing.

To her, medicine was meant to heal, to ease suffering.

But now, it was being twisted for greed and desire.

Despite consulting various experts, we couldn't find a cure. Her family refused to... let her be with a man to 'solve' it. She's been in the ICU ever since, not waking up."

Natalia felt a chill down her spine.

"And the chances of her waking up are slim. Multiple organs are failing," Scarlett cursed under her breath.
