Morris heard this for the first time, and a flash of displeasure crossed his face.

Hannia was momentarily shocked, her expression dazed. She never thought her family would use poison to control her. Once she understood what that meant, Ilannia quickly said, "Ms Leach, I need to leave. I might do something crazy if I stay." With that, she tried to pull away from Cherise and leave.

One of those was an old manuscript given to her by Marlon, talking about what court doctors dealt with poison a hundred years ago.

The book didn't explain how to get rid of the embedded creatures but did offer tips on how to control them.

From her acupuncture kit, she picked out the four thinnest needles and dipped them in the vial. Remembering what she read, she carefully inserted the needles into four key points around where the poison
