Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 238

Upon hearing this, Phoebe felt an immediate sense of urgency and rushed out of the courtyard.

As the woman absorbed Elysia’s words, a flicker of alarm crossed her eyes. Elysia was aware of the type of poison it was. The woman was perplexed by how Elysia knew this.

Elysia turned and caught the astonishment and panic etched on the woman’s face; her brows lifted in realization–her intuition had been correct.

After Fabian had been poisoned, Elysia had already formed her suspicions.

However, considering the seriousness of Fabian’s condition, she would not risk giving any remedy unlew the had complete certainty that he had indeed been afflicted by the Bone Corroding Powder.

Her earlier questioning of the woman had simply been an attempt to confirm her guess. Although the anticipated that the woman might hold back information, she was willing to take even a small chance.

This blade had originally been meant for her. Fabian had protected her from it.

Elysia looked at the woman on the ground with deep–seated hatred, as if her heart had been pierced by a blade, blood seeping drop by drop along the shaft.

For the first time, she experienced pain that went beyond physical injury, suffering a hundred times worse.

That was the Bone Corroding Powder. Though its poison didn’t lead to death immediately, it caused torment like a legion of ants gnawing at one’s bones.

Such agony was unbearable for most, and many would inevitably faint from its intensity. Yet Fabian endured.

‘What kind of unbreakable will must one have to achieve such strength? Recalling the slight smile Fabian had given her moments ago intensified Elysia’s heartache.

Clutching her chest, the intensity of her hatred grew palpable as she gripped the woman’s jaw with enough force to make it feel as if she might shatter her bones.

“You will certainly regret the choices you made this evening,” Elysia said coldly.

Startled by the fervor in her gaze, the woman felt a tremor of fear. As someone who had not feared death, the woman began to feel afraid of Elysia.

At that moment, Phoebe dashed in with a needle kit, barely pausing for breath before handing it to Elysia.

Relieved, Elysia took the kit and hurried to Fabian’s side. His complexion had darkened, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead, his face trembling with clear pain. But still, he was fighting to withstand it.
