Chapter 75

The servant seemed to sense the truth in my threat and froze.

She let down her hand fearfully and did not dare to flinch anymore.

Although her feverish state prevented her from staying focused, her eyes were still filled with

vigilance and insecurity.

However, I no longer paid heed to her state. As long as she did not resist, I knew that I could carry

out my job.

“Can you still stand up?” I asked with a cold tone.

“You know my condition, so I cannot carry you. Can you go and sit there?” I pointed in the direction

of the reclining chair near the window.

Although I decided to help her, my body was not capable enough to carry her to the nearby

reclining chair. Especially when she still had the tendency to resist. I am afraid that something might

happen if I personally helped her to move towards the chair.

“I-i can...” The servant's unfocused eyes looked at the reclining chair and did her best to stand up.

Maybe because she was already on the verge of collapse, she staggered and almost fell. Fortunately,

I was still able to catch her hand and stabilize her body.

After a few struggles she finally reached the reclining chair.

As for me, I already went to my study cabinet and took out a few herbs which I knew would be

beneficial to her body.

With the knowledge taught to me by teacher Astor, I started to work and think of the ways to treat

the servant's condition.

“First, let's do something to calm your convulsion.” I turned towards her trembling state and

brought a bowl of pale green medicine.

When I touched her earlier, I knew that it was not just a simple fever. It was caused by multiple

infections and most probably it was because of some injury hidden somewhere I could not see.

“Drink it first... and I'll see your outer state after a few minutes.” I handed her the bowl to drink.

The servant stared at me blankly, wanting to question what kind of things I mixed up the bowl of

medicine in my hand. But my expression did not falter.

I have already extended my helping hand to her. It is now up to her whether she would reach out to

accept it or not.

She opened her mouth and then closed it, frowning in hesitation.

But not long after, she took the bowl and drank the medicine slowly.

"Urkk...” The servant trembled as her body twitched in pain.

Her shock and fear was apparent as she looked at me in disbelief. She might have been thinking

that I really did something to her.

But I did not panic, for I knew that the medicine works that way.

“Bear with it, and you will be better in a few minutes... I have given you this medicine because you

are a servant. You cannot afford to be gone for long periods.” I explained and waited for the

medicine to do its work.

My eyes did not leave her even for a second as I started to take my meal. As expected, as soon as I

finished the meal, the twitching on her body subsided.

She let out several beads of sweat and the color on her nails slowly returned its pinkish color.

“Now, I'll examine your body..." I looked at her once more.

This time, she hung her head low and no longer dared to flinch. Like a sheep laying obediently to

the slaughterhouse, she followed everything not daring to defy the slightest bit.

"As expected, your condition was caused by the injection of this wound.”

After conducting a thorough examination, I saw a revolting wound on her upper leg. It was already

infested with blood and pus and if not for the strong medicinal scent in my room, the rooting smell

would have invaded my nose.

“Stay there.” I frowned and went back to my cabinet.

No one made a sound except for the gentle clashing of the glass jars I carefully opened and the

mortar and pestle doing their job to extract the medicine.

After a while I went back with a green paste and a bowl of water.

“I will clean the wounds before applying the medicine. Again, stay still or I will make it even more

painful for you.” I looked at her and warned her.

The servant immediately froze and allowed me to do as I wanted.

Unlike the Silver Pack where everyone was treated equally, the Red Moon Pack was big in hierarchy.

It was not that bad before when my father was still the Alpha, but after Vanessa took over, it seemed

that the pack began treating the servants very poorly.

That was why this supposed to be simple wound would turn into a life-threatening matter for the

servant all because she was denied the appropriate care.

“All done. All you need to do now is to rest and prevent it from touching water for a few days.

Tomorrow morning when you deliver the food, I will check it and give you another batch of

medicine to completely treat the infection.”

I gestured my hand to let her out of the room. Now that my work is done, it is up to her to follow

my words.

The servant looked at me and froze, but she still followed my words and went out.

As the door closed, I heard her nervous sigh before the footsteps faded away.

Now that she was gone, my thoughts were again directed to my father's condition.

Desperation was all I felt as I watched my father's condition continue to deteriorate day after day.

No matter what I did, he never seemed to be getting any better. It was as if his body was giving up,

and I felt helpless.

“It's already been days, but he's still not improving..." I thought with a frown. I was sitting in my

room, feeling defeated.

“What can I do... If I don’t think of anything... I'm afraid...” Covering my forehead with my hand, I

softly muttered with frustration. That was, until I suddenly remembered something that I had read

before.

It was a special poison that had medicinal properties. It was a risky move, but I was desperate to

save my father. I had to do something

After a few seconds of hesitation, I took out a small knife and made a cut on my arm without any

emotion on my face. The pain was excruciating, but I ignored it. After a few seconds, I managed to

collect some of my blood in a small container and mixed it with the poison.

The thick, dark liquid that looked dangerous. As I held the container in my hand, fear and doubt

consumed me.

“What if this doesn't work?’

“No, what if I make things worse?"

My heart trembled as I looked at it. But, I shook my head. I knew more than anyone that I had no

choice but to try.

Gripping the container tight, I made my way to my father's room. As I entered, I saw Lisa and

Vanessa were both there.

"Huh? The doctor wanna-be is here again?” Vanessa immediately started taunting me the moment

she saw me.

“What the hell is that in your hands? Are you feeding your father poison?!” Lisa shouted as she

stared at the container with wide eyes.

I ignored them and went straight to my father's side.

He was so thin, and the hair on his head was all white. His lips were so dark, and he was struggling

from breathing. He looked like he was hairbreadth away from dying, and fear consumed.

I gripped his hand and steeled my heart, knowing what I had to do. I helped him drink the medicine,

and after a few seconds, his face appeared better. But, as I was about to let out a sigh of relief, my

father suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma. I was paralyzed with fear.

Lisa and Vanessa were both frightened. Immediately, Vanessa turned to me and with a loud voice,

she asked, “What the hell did you give father?”

On the other had, Lisa collapsed on the ground as she pointed her finger towards me, “Murderer!

You... you murdered your father!”

A loud commotion ensued as the two of them continued to yell. However, I did not hear them. No, I

could not even look at them, as my eyes were focused on my father. My heart sank and my entire

body turned cold.

“No...” My voice trembled. “There's no way..."

Could I have made... a terrible mistake?
