The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 148

Soon, Marve's face would start rotting and become completely ruined.

Karen was feeling quite pleased with herself, not noticing that Alexis's face har slowly turned grim as Alexis observed her presumptuous attitude.

If Byron and Maeve had already been divorced, Alexis would not have minded anything Karen did.

However, they were not divorced yet, and Karen's eagerness made Alexis feel a bit uncomfortable. When she thought about Betty's words, Alexis could not help but feel suspicious.

She wondered, 'Can I trust Karen's previous comments about Maeve?

Meanwhile, at the Nightfall Manor.

Not long after Maeve fell asleep, Byron slowly opened his eyes and pressed the intercom.

In less than five minutes, Anthony rushed over and checked the wound on Maeve's cheek as Byron had instructed on the phone earlier.

Byron stood at the side with his arms crossed. When he saw that Anthony did not speak for a long time, he frowned. "How is

it

"Not good, Anthony said. "This wound doesn't look like a bacterial infection. It's most likely caused by poison."

"Poison?" Byron's eyes turned cold. "What kind of poison? Can it be cured?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult to determine what kind of polson it is with the naked eye. However, judging from the extent of this lady's wound, she has been poisoned for some time. If it had been discovered a couple of days later, by the time the taxin spread across her entire face, it would lead to disfigurement and be beyond treatment."

Disfigurement.

The moment Byron heard that word, his demeanor shifted dramatically, his striking features now cloaked in a layer of icy frost, cold enough to send shivers down one's spine.

Byron thought of how Maeve was so worried about people seeing her facial wound that she had to cover her face with a veil. An uncontrollable sorge of anger welled up in his chest.

If Maeve were disfigured, she would likely feel even worse and would not want to leave the house at all.

After a moment, Byron composed himself and asked, "Has her body been affected by the poison?"

"This toxin doesn't only target the face; its harm is just not as significant as that on the face, Anthony replied. "Once the toxin is eliminated, her wound will heal naturally." "Just tell the butler whatever you need. Don't worry about the cost or consequences; just focus on curing her," Byron said.

"Alright. Rest assured, Mr. Mcdaniel."
