Out of respect for Loid, Winston would naturally treat anyone Leid held dear with the utmost importance.
As they left the hospital, the sum had already set.
Shaun excitedly announced there was a new restaurant in the city center that just opened and insisted they try it out. Since Lily
was new to Lagersfield and Loid hadn’t taken her out for a proper meal yet, Loid readily agreed to join
As soon as Lily got into the car, she slouched against the window, looking tired and disinterested. Her eyes were downcast, and
she seemed to be in a low mood.
Loid looked at Lily. Her usual confident and assertive demeanor had faded since leaving the hospital, replaced by anoticeable
sense of desolation that tugged at his heartstrings. He wondered if she was worried about Belinda’s illness.
With a gentle pat on Lily’s shoulder, Loid said in a calming voice, “Don’t worry, I won’t let the supply of the special antidote run
out.”
Lily lifted her gaze slightly and smiled. “Thank you.” The special antidote wasn’t Lily’s primary concern. Even without Loid, she
could ensure a steady supply. Her true fear was that her grandmother might not have much time left.
Lily used to live a carefree life. She was confident in her ability to take care of herself and her grandmother.
However, her grandmother’s health began to deteriorate rapidly a few years ago. When Lily checked her grandmother’s pulse,
she realized her grandmother had been unknowingly poisoned for years. For the first time, Lily belt the sting of helplessness.
Unlike ordinary poisons, Mindshroud poison wasn’t an ordinary poison. It was a venomous parasitic worm that had been
implanted into Belinda’s body.
Once the Mindshroud poison entered the body, it would stay inactive for at least five years without causing any harm. However,
once it became active or was triggered, it became deadly and would lead to death within a year.
Belinda would’ve been long dead if Lily hadn’t been proficient in medicine and suppressed the Mindshroud poison’s activation.

The Mindshroud poison was indeed a formidable poison. Despite Lily’s efforts to nourish Belinda’s body with the most expensive
medicinal herbs, the poison was proving
resistant to treatment
Belinda’s body was already developing an anti–drug response. The pills Lily had been giving her were only providing temporary
relief. Their only hope now was in the specialized antidote developed by the Medical Research Institute.
Lily realized her grandmother’s body was becoming resistant to the medication, so a somber expression clouded her face. She
feared the special antidote would also not be effective for long. She felt increasingly frustrated, and her face showed signs of
distress.
Sensing her distress, Loid reached for her hand, his touch gentle and reassuring. “Take it slow. We’ll find a solution,” he
murmured.
The warmth from his touch, or perhaps the steadiness of his voice, soothed Lily’s agitation somewhat. Yet her gaze remained
downcast, and her expression was clouded with worry
Shaun knew Lily was in a bad mood, so he hesitated to bother her. Yet curiosity gnawed at him, and he turned to ask, “Can’t your
mentor cure your grandmother’s illness either?” Lily raised an eyebrow. “Mentor?”
“Shadowbane? Isn’t he your mentor? If you ask him to help, maybe he can cure your grandmother’s illness.”
Lily was speechless. She stared at Shaun as if he were an idiot.
Shaun couldn’t stand Lily’s gaze. “Stop looking at me like that! I’m not an idiot!
Lily calmly retracted her gaze and said, “He’s not my mentor.”
a very powerful mentor. The most powerful mentor I can think of is
Shaun found it hard to fathom. “What? How is that possible? Your medical skills are so good. You must have a v Shadowbane,
so how could you not be his apprentice?”
Shaun couldn’t think of anyone else who could teach such an outstanding apprentice besides Shadowbane. Lilyremained silent,
unwilling to deal with this idiot
