Eliza motioned for Gilbert to bring the man into the small kitchen.

As the door creaked open, the flickering light from the lantern revealed the man's figure, broad-shouldered and thick- bearded, now trembling violently.

His face was an unhealthy shade of white, and blood stained the corner of his mouth where his clenched jaw had torn the

skin.

"It's the poison," Gilbert explained urgently. "It's taking effect."

The space in the small kitchen was cramped, with only the stove serving as a surface, so Gilbert laid the man directly on the floor.

After hearing Gilbert's explanation, Eliza immediately understood the situation. His shaking was from the agony, and his pale face was the result of the poison.

After washing her hands, Eliza scrutinized the man. She checked his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, then placed her fingers on his pulse.

"The blood is flowing backward, and swelling is building inside his body. No wonder he's in such agony. If this continues, he won't survive the night."

"Your Grace, do you have a way to save him?" Gilbert's face showed apparent concern and urgency.

"Weren't you investigating Zoie? Rocco Lane knows something about what happened back then. I was going to ask him for you, but when I found him, the poison started acting up suddenly."

"Renee, go fetch the medicine kit from my room," Eliza ordered swiftly.

Renee nodded and dashed out of the room, returning quickly with the kit in hand. Eliza opened the medicine kit and swiftly retrieved a set of acupuncture needles. She had recently studied pressure points with Mary, and after locating the key points on Rocco's body, she precisely and quickly inserted the needles into the right spots.
