Chapter 523

Chapter 523 I Owe You Two Lives Not long after, Yana’s expression changed and Lamont asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?*

“I’m fine,” Yana replied, but her body curled up and she was clearly in pain. Lamont became even more worried. “Is it the poison again? Should I call Paige down?”

“No, don’t,” Yana said, grabbing Lamont’s hand. “She’s injured. Let her rest. I can handle it. I’ve endured it like this before.”

Countless times, she had suffered from the toxic attacks and had learned to bear the pain alone.

Lamont couldn’t just stand by and watch as Yana suffered. “How can I help you?” he asked, trying to remove her hand.

But Yana held onto his hand tightly and begged, “Lamont, I can handle it. I can’t always rely on Paige every time I have a flare up. My poison can flare up at any time, and I have to handle it on my own.”

Lamont saw her body trembling in pain, and even her voice grew softer, causing him to feel heartbroken. “What can I do to help you?” he asked with concern.

“Please leave for a moment,” Yana pleaded, not wanting him to see her in such a miserable state.

“Give me some time.”

She was determined to endure this pain alone.

“In the past, you were the same way. You didn’t want me to feel uncomfortable, so you always kept your pain and suffering to yourself. But this time, let me be there for you,” Lamont said as he gently rubbed her back and touched the areas that weren’t injured, hoping to bring her some comfort.

However, no matter what he did, the toxicity in her body was no longer something Yana could control by herself, nor was it something that he could solve by just touching her a few times.

Yana was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. The excruciating pain seemed to take her life away. Her tears were involuntary and subconscious.

How painful.

She was in so much pain that organs were all twisted together. Her internal organs made her feel like she was dying.

Seeing her in so much pain, Lamont recalled the terrible dream he had not too long ago, where Yana was just like this. The toxicity flared up, and the pain was unbearable. She was crying all the time…

In his dream, he really wanted to help her, but he was powerless. He could only wipe away her tears and hold her in his arms…

Now, he let go of Yana’s hand, spread his legs, and ran upstairs.

In order to run faster, his movements were large and caused his wound to hurt, but he couldn’t care less.

“Paige, Paige!!!”

He went up to the second floor at once, knocked on Paige’s door, and said anxiously, “Are you asleep?

Yana is having a toxic attack…can you help her? She is in pain now…Paige??”

Soon, the door opened, and Martin appeared with Paige in his arms.

“Go to my room inside, the fourth row, count from left to right, take an acupuncture package from the fourth drawer,” Paige ordered.

Lamont’s mind went blank, but after hearing what his sister said, he subconsciously replied, “Okay.”

Acupuncture package, acupuncture package…

He hurried to get it.

Martin went downstairs with Paige in his arms, and Lamont caught up with them with an acupuncture package. Yana was already sobbing on the sofa in pain.

Her tears flowed more and more, and she couldn’t speak. The veins on her forehead popped out.

“Yana…” Lamont really wanted to help her.

But Paige said in a calm tone, “Move aside.”

Yana was already in excruciating pain, and touching her now would only make it worse for her.

Martin put Paige down. Paige immediately opened her acupuncture kit and began to needle Yana’s key acupuncture points.

Yana’s tremors lessened, but her face remained ashen and bloodless. Her whole body was weak and lethargic.

Paige continued to administer the acupuncture treatment, and also had her men fetch the pills she had recently developed.

One pill later, Yana seemed to have improved. She lifted her eyelids and said weakly, “Thank you, Paige.”

She felt better now.

At least, the pain wasn’t as bad as before…

“Stop being so polite with me. Rest more from now on,” Paige began to remove the needles, “This pill can keep the poison in your body dormant for 12 hours.”

In other words, for the next 12 hours, the poison in her body wouldn’t act up…

She could take a good rest for a while.

“Paige, if the poison in her body acts up again, what can we do to alleviate the pain?” Lamont inquired, seeking advice, “Is there any way to quickly relieve her pain?”

“Don’t take these two pills unless it’s absolutely necessary,” Paige handed over a small bottle, “The medication is too strong, and I’m afraid her body may not be able to handle it if she’s too weak.”

Lamont made a note of it and held onto the bottle of pills tightly.

“We have a plane parked outside. I’ll draw some blood for testing when we get back home.”

Paige was still unsure of what kind of poison Yana had been exposed to, so she could only ease the pain for now and administer targeted medication later.

She looked up at Yana on the sofa and said in a gentle voice, “She used a method of fighting. poison with poison to treat herself before, so the toxins in her body have become more complex and difficult to treat over time.”

Yana lifted her eyelids and looked at Paige in surprise. She didn’t expect the girl to know about her method of fighting poison with poison….

“The powder you hid in the Vitamin C bottle, I took it to be tested,” Paige looked at Yana and explained, “I’m sorry for barging into your room without your consent that time while I was helping my third brother look for clues.”

“I know. If it weren’t for you, I would have died a long time ago, so I should be thanking you,” Yana smiled weakly, “Thank you, Paige. I owe you two lives.”

One was when Paige risked her life to save her during the attack of the medicine men.

The other was when Paige detoxified her after she was poisoned. From yesterday to now, Paige had already detoxified her three times!

“You saved me too. We’re all family. No need to be polite,” Paige looked up at Lamont again and said, “Can you carry Yana, or should my subordinates do it?”

The plane was waiting outside, and it was time to go.

“I can do it,” Lamont said confidently.

“Then let’s go.”

As soon as Paige finished speaking, Martin picked her up.

“By the way,” said Lamont, “I mentioned earlier that Paige is my sister. This gentleman here is my brother–in–law, Martin.” He introduced formally.

Yana finally looked over at the well–dressed man standing beside her. When she was writhing in pain earlier, she hadn’t even noticed his presence.

Now, seeing that Martin was not only Lamont’s future brother–in–law but also the wealthiest man in the world, Yana was surprised. No wonder Lamont had said that his sister and brother–in–law would get involved in this matter until the end.

They clearly had the power to do so.

“Hello,” Yana nodded, her pale face showing a touch of kindness.

“Hello, third sister–in–law,” Martin also greeted, then bowed his head and spoke to the girl in his arms.

“Everything is taken care of back home. Let’s go.”

They just had to wait for the fish to come to the net by themselves…

“Okay,” Paige agreed with a nod.

Lamont gently picked up Yana. “Does it hurt?” he asked.

Although Yana shook her head, her expression quickly revealed a look of pain. Lamont felt responsible.

“Did I touch your wound? I’m so clumsy,” he said.

“It’s okay,” Yana reassured him with a smile.

Lamont noticed that her smile was somewhat wan. He resolved to take better care of her later and improve her appearance. She was too thin and frail at the moment.
