Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Anyway, Your Reputation Is Already So Bad (1)
Just as he was gritting his teeth and swearing, he passed out—Raina North saw Elias Hawthorne glaring at her angrily, yet his face was flushed. Even if he spat out some blood, he didn’t look seriously ill or dying. This appearance wouldn’t fool the pharmacists at The Veridian Institute of Medicine, let alone ordinary people.
Helplessly, she simply knocked Elias unconscious and quickly administered several needles. Just as Raina North was putting the silver needles away, people rushed in from outside.
Seeing Elias Hawthorne lying on the ground, pale and barely breathing, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
"Elias!"
Claire North impulsively rushed forward, but before she got close, she was stopped by Aidan Lynch.
Claire North was suddenly anxious, "Why are you stopping me? I need to see Elias!"
Aidan Lynch said, "President Hawthorne is being taken care of by his wife. Chickie, as an outsider, it’s best to avoid suspicion."
"How am I an outsider!" Claire North shouted loudly, "I am Baby’s biological mother; I am the true woman of Elias Hawthorne. How am I an outsider!"
Aidan Lynch remained expressionless and said calmly, "Unless you marry President Hawthorne and become Mrs. Hawthorne, you could have a hundred children, and you would still be an outsider."
"..." Claire North was almost furious when she heard Aidan Lynch say this.
Raina North looked at Claire North, who was so stunned she couldn’t breathe, and almost couldn’t hold back her laughter. She couldn’t help but glance a few more times at Aidan Lynch.
He truly was Elias Hawthorne’s confidant. This tactic of killing with words was skillful.
At this moment, someone shouted, "Master Void is here."
Claire North immediately suppressed her resentful gaze and rushed over, full of earnest pleading, "Master Void, please look at Elias. His condition is really not good."
Master Void did not move.
Faye Shelby spoke up from the side, "My master has a healer’s heart, but he fears some may not appreciate it."
Upon hearing this, Claire North immediately shouted angrily at Aidan Lynch, "Special Assistant Lynch, Elias trusts you so much. Now he’s in grave danger. Are you just going to stand by and watch? Or is this what you call loyalty!"
Aidan Lynch glanced at Raina North, saw her nodding at him, and then stepped aside, "Master Void, please go ahead."
Faye Shelby snorted coldly, "You ask my master to act, and so he acts. What do you take my master for!"
"Naturally, as a doctor." Raina North said, faintly smiling, "Master Void is reluctant to act; is there some hidden reason, like being an impostor?"
Faye Shelby, infuriated, was about to say something when Master Void held her back and said calmly, "Those who are clear are clear; why argue with words?"
Raina North applauded, "Well said, Master Void, please go ahead."
Master Void glanced at Raina North, who did not refuse, and then walked to Elias Hawthorne’s side, placing his finger on Elias’s pulse. After some time, he said, "Poisoning. The poison has entered the lungs and heart. If delayed any longer, even deities would be powerless to save him!"
Raina North lazily said, "Isn’t Master Void here? How could it be powerless? Am I right?"
Aidan Lynch nodded, "The Young Madam is right."
Raina North pleaded earnestly, "Master Void, please ensure you save my husband. My happiness for the rest of my life depends on you."
Master Void furrowed his brow, looking displeased, and said, "President Hawthorne’s situation is indeed dire."
"I know, he’s already coughing up blood and unconscious. I’m not stupid." Raina North said, "Am I not begging you?"
Master Void raised his eyes to look at Raina North.
Her expression was calm, her unhurried demeanor making someone who was used to being revered as Master Void uncomfortable.
Master Void immediately turned cold, "Sorry, Ms. North, please seek someone else!"
With that, he turned away.
Faye Shelby glared fiercely at Raina North and then followed him out.
