Sevenfold Begonia Wood

Grace looked at her mother's pale, bluish face and stiff, icy-cold body. Her heart kept sinking, sinking deeper and deeper...

She was helpless.

She couldn't do anything!

Just like that woman who came to her for treatment in her previous life, she could only watch her leave...

......

"Hope! Go find a doctor! No, get a spiritual healer!" Aunt Crystal's voice was trembling. "Claire! Notify the Minister and the Dowager Lady!"

"Yes." Hope and Claire rushed out in a hurry.

"Hope!" Grace called out.

Hope stopped in her tracks.

"Go invite the Imperial Advisor. Tell him my mother is in critical condition and beg him to save her!"

Shannon once said that Leon Zane is a high-level spiritual healer.

Grace didn't know his exact rank, but all of them have mysterious backgrounds—maybe he could help.

"Yes!" Hope hurried out.

......

People began arriving one after another.

Minister Zhuo, Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu, Maya Summers.

And Grace Wan, who rushed over after hearing the news.

Everyone looked anxious and worried.

Especially Grace Wan, who kept asking, "What's wrong with Lena? Wasn't she fine yesterday? How did this happen so suddenly?"

Grace turned to look at her.

Lena was very likely the person they were searching for.

After so many years of hiding, success was finally in sight, and yet... she was about to die.

How could it be poison? How could she be poisoned?' Minister Zhuo struggled to accept it. 'Imperial Advisor, are you sure you're not mistaken?'

Leon Zane was silent.

He looked so frustrated he didn't want to speak.

Everyone stepped aside, watching as he rushed to Lena's bedside.

Grace knew he would come.

Wasn't it suspected that her mother was the one they were looking for?

But Leon Zane didn't check Lena's pulse. Instead, his face suddenly changed, and he yanked the hairpin out of her hair, holding it up: "Where did this come from?"

Uh... what's wrong with it?' Minister Zhuo stammered. 'I bought it for her last night.'

You bought this for her? Why did you buy this for her?' Leon Zane's tone was agitated.

What's wrong with it?' Minister Zhuo asked. 'I just... last night at the Lantern Market, I saw this hairpin and thought it would suit Lena, so I bought it.'

You have quite the eye! Of all the jewelry at the Lantern Market, you chose this one? Do you know what it is?' Leon Zane looked fierce.

What is it? Isn't it just a hairpin?' Minister Zhuo asked in a daze.

Everyone actually had the same question, including Grace.

This is Winterbane Wood!' Leon Zane snapped. 'She's suffering from Winterbane Poison! This wood amplifies the poison to its maximum—it's deadly! And you actually bought it for her to wear?'

Minister Zhuo was stunned for a long time. "Winterbane Poison?"

Don't you know she's afflicted with the deadliest cold poison on the continent—Winterbane?

Poisoned? She's actually poisoned?' Minister Zhuo asked in shock. 'Didn't the spiritual healers say... she had some strange illness?'

They don't know a damn thing!' Leon Zane cursed.

Lena was very likely the person they were searching for.

After so many years of hiding, success was finally in sight, and yet... she was about to die.

How could it be poison? How could she be poisoned?' Minister Zhuo struggled to accept it. 'Imperial Advisor, are you sure you're not mistaken?'

Leon Zane was silent.

He looked so frustrated he didn't want to speak.
