Chapter 212

“The patient is stabilized now,” the doctor said.

“But he hasn’t woken up yet?”

“No,” the doctor shook his head. “Lady Agnes’s cure only kept him from going into a complete heart and liver failure. But to completely recover, he needs the actual cure for the poison.”

Westin balled his hands into fists, “Thank you, doctor. How much time does Elder Randy have?”

“Hard to say. Our best guess is weeks. But I would say the sooner the better.”

“So we still need the cure.” Elder Lamonte said darkly. “Lady Janet, stop fighting with us and hand over the cure. The man’s life is at stake here!”

“I said! I have nothing to do with this!” Janet snarled.

Westin raised a hand in the air, gesturing them to keep quiet.

“That is enough.” he said in a commanding voice, “You have both made your point. No point keep arguing about it.”

Elder Lamonte licked his teeth with his tongue, revealing an ugly grin, “My King, if” you can grant me the permission to interrogate this werewolf woman, I am sure I can force her to hand over the cure before tomorrow’s sun rises…”

“No!” Wells cried angrily, “You can’t let him, brother! You know that he will torture Janet-”

“Silent!”

Westin snapped, pointing a finger at Wells, “We will talk about how you skipped the ball tonight and how you discarded the prince’s duty later. Now just keep your mouth shut. And as for you, Elder Lamonte-

He turned to look at Lamonte, his eyes darkened, “…No one will interrogate my Queen.”

“But my King-”

“Have I not made myself clear?” Westin narrowed his eyes.

Elder Lamonte swallowed.

He still looked indignant.

But he decided to keep his mouth shut, “…You have, my king, perfectly clear.”

“Good.”

Westin’s eyes fell on Sammy, “Now Sammy. I want you to think very hard about the maid that bumped into you. Was it her?”

He pointed at Janet.

Sammy took a quick look at Janet and then looked down, “…No.”

“Then was it anyone in this room?”

Sammy shook her head quietly.

“OK. Then what does she look like?”

Sammy bit her lips, pondering, “I…it was very dark in the hallway, so I didn’t get a clear look…I think she is about average height, slim, and has porcelain skin…”

People exchanged baffled looks with each other.
