The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 712

"So, Celine, are you saying that you need Mr. Hampton's heart's blood to save me?" Fiona asked.

Celine nodded. "Yes. Once his blood is taken, Mr. Hampton will die without question. Eclipse venom is one of the most treacherous poisons-anyone afflicted with it is doomed. The only way to defy fate is to trade one life for another. Mr. Hampton, are you willing to sacrifice your life to save Ms. Jakeman?"

Fiona was stunned, unable to comprehend that her survival would come at such a steep price. If this was the only way, then either she or Nigel had to die.

"No!"

"Yes!"

The words came at the same time—Fiona's refusal and Nigel's acceptance.

Fiona stared at Nigel in shock. Nigel, however, spoke with resolve. "Celine, take my heart's blood. I'm willing to give my life for hers."

Fiona gasped in horror. "Nigel, have you lost your mind? If you give your heart's blood, you'll die for sure! I don't want you sacrificing your life for mine! You don't have to do this. I don't want to owe you anything!"

Nigel didn't even look at Fiona. His gaze was locked on Celine. "Let's begin."

Fiona grabbed Nigel's arm. "Nigel, I don't want you to save me! Do you hear me? Celine, don't listen to him—I don't agree to this!"

Celine watched the tense interaction between them, a smirk playing on her lips. "Mr. Hampton, there's no need to rush Ms. Jakeman's treatment. I can use acupuncture to neutralize the poison in her body temporarily.
