Chapter 253 An ident Happened (Part Two)
"It is said that she once killed the unborn baby of General Maxwell due to her poor medical skills. She
almost lost her life because of that mistake. I don''t imagine that she has even learnt a lesson from it,"
Johnson said in a sarcastic tone. "Such a reckless woman. Rena, you don''t need to contend with a
woman like her. She will die of her arrogance."
Denny didn''t say anything. Harper was not a bad person from his point of view. Her only fault was that
she had offended Rena. He didn''t really want to take a stand between Rena and Harper.
When Denny was sunk in his thoughts, he didn''t notice Rena''s movements. When no one was looking,
she put her hand into the bath barrel, pretending to test the temperature of the water. Nobody but her
knew of her real intention.
"The toxins are about to subside. Prepare the Golden Cicada!" Seeing that the toxins in Matthew''s
body had gradually stabilized, Johnson knew that the toxins had been neutralized by the toxic
substance from Tribtion Flower. The toxins were evenly bnced in his body, waiting for the Golden
Cicada to break the bnce and absorb all of the toxins at the same time.
The toxins in Matthew''s body were stable for no more than an instant, and then the bnce copsed.
They spread all over his body, which stunned both Johnson and Denny. "What''s going on?"
"Aargh!" The pain was too much for Matthew to endure. He let out a shrill scream. The toxins broke
out, and he felt as if his bones and muscles were in mes. The pain in every inch of his skin
overwhelmed him.
"Hurry up to release the Golden Cicada!" Johnson was a little shocked. He hoped that the Golden
Cicada could keep the situation under control, so he just decided to put it in the water, despite not
being the right moment. As soon as the cicada flew into Matthew''s body, he struggled even more
violently. Johnson and Denny were holding him at his two sides, keeping him under control.
The Golden Cicada lurked and swam randomly under the skin of Matthew, causing him into a spasm.
His seven orifices were bleeding with ck blood, and then he passed out. Terrified by the scene,
Denny loosened his grip on Matthew. Then he quickly grabbed Matthew''s wrist and felt his pulse. The
touch scared him to a pulp, and he said, "Master, what should we do now?"
Johnson was also surprised. It was not supposed to be like this. Obviously, the toxins in Matthew''s
body had been brought under control just a moment before, so why had the toxins suddenly erupted
again? No mistake had been made in the meanwhile! What had gone wrong?
Johnson was bbergasted, and Denny was frozen in fear. Matthew''s pulse was weakening every
second. If things continued like this, the prince would die!
"It''s Harper! It must be Harper!" Rena was pale with fright. Before Matthew fell into aa, he looked
at Rena with murder in his eyes. She unconsciously hid her hands in her sleeves. She had tried to stick
her hand into the bath barrel secretly, but clearly, her action was noticed by Matthew. ''No, No! I had no
intention to harm him. I just added a little aphrodisiac to the medicine bath, and the aphrodisiac is
incapable of causing the poison to burst out.''
"Harper!

That''s right. It must be Harper. She didn''t want us to cure His Highness. She must have been afraid
that I would have an advantage over her if we sessfully cured His Highness. She thought I would be
a threat to her status, so she gave us a false prescription! I''m going to kill that bitch!" Rena yelled. She
was trying to shift all the me to Harper.
Denny had no time to think about anything else. He had to detoxify Matthew, or he would die. Once
Matthew died, the three of them would die as well. Whether this ident had anything to do with
Harper or not, Denny knew it was urgent to find a way. Besides, if Harper could prove that the method
was from the Canon of Medicine, she would be able to justify herself. For Denny, there would be no
choice left but death. And Johnson and Rena would face the same fate.
"Master, is there any way to detoxify His Highness?" Denny took out all the antidotes he had brought
and tried hard to put them into the mouth of Matthew. He prayed in his head, ''No, I can''t let you die.
Please, don''t die!''
Johnson knew that the situation was very urgent, so they had to work together to find a solution. Even if
they could not detoxify Matthew, they had to keep him alive. However, the toxins in his body, together
with the toxic substance from Tribtion Flower and Golden Cicada, had turned his body into a
container of poison. His body would notst through the night.
"The first thing to do is to lure Golden Cicada out from his body!" Johnson said calmly. "The Golden
Cicada loves poison. We must feed some poison to lure it out of His Highness''s body!"
However, despite all their best efforts, the Golden Cicada would note out of Matthew''s body. To the
Golden Cicada, Matthew was the best source of poison, and the other poison couldn''tpete with it.
"Master, why don''t we ask Harper for help now? Maybe she can help us." Sweat gathered on Denny''s
forehead. His hands shook slightly, and his heart was beating fast. Matthew''s pulse was so weak that
Denny was about to lose it. If it went on like this, they would surely die along with Matthew.
"Since she deliberately plotted against us, how could she hand over the recipe of the antidote?
Perhaps she will take advantage of this to have us killed!" Johnson shook his head and refused
Denny''s suggestion. No matter what, he would make sure to have Harper med for the poisoning.
