The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

655.Chapter 655

"Someone... get in here, now!"

Dale gritted his teeth and called out, his voice strained with pain. The butler, who had been ordered to wait outside, rushed in, panic written all over his face.

"My Lord! My Lady! How could she be so cruel?"

The butler trembled with anger, his hands hovering uncertainly. He wanted to help Dale but was afraid of worsening his injuries. He also wanted to check on Adeline, but the thought of triggering the poison in her body made him hesitate.

To make matters worse, Sophie had the entire estate under lockdown, leaving the butler unable to summon a doctor from outside.

With great effort, Dale managed to speak, his voice weak but resolute. "The antidote... is on the floor. Give it to her first... then go to the study and take my wound medicine."

Dale often trained at home, so he always kept some wound medicine in his study.

With no doctor available, he had no choice but to treat his injuries himself.

It wasn't that Dale feared Sophie and didn't dare to call for help. He knew she wouldn't risk killing him outright. His real concern was that any doctor who entered the estate might never leave.

The butler and servants bustled about, and after a tense flurry of activity, both Dale and Adeline managed to survive the ordeal.

However, Adeline never revealed who she had truly gone to meet.

While chaos engulfed the Marquis's estate, the Duke's estate was far from peaceful as well.

After returning to the Duke's estate from court, Gabriel and Benedict entered the study one after the other.

Before the butler could even close the door, Gabriel spun around and delivered a resounding slap across Benedict's face.

"You insolent fool! Did you already forget what I warned you about yesterday?" Gabriel bellowed, his voice laced with fury.

Benedict's head tilted to the side, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Yet, his expression remained calm as he replied evenly, "No, I haven't."

"How dare you defy me?"
