While Thalia’s situation had stabilized–her life saved by the narrowest of margins–Andrew’s condition remained decidedly grim.

The doctors explained that Andrew had been poisoned over an extended period. The toxin had infiltrated his vital organs, and his condition was beyond medical intervention,

Upon hearing this devastating news, Lady Blackwood’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed.
