Chapter 240 Surprise Attack 1
Gradually, the room was entirely shrouded by smoke.
Lying beside the cold coffin, Liliana brushed the bridge of Josiah’s tall nose with her fingertip and muttered, “Josiah, Dr. Nichols will definitely be able to cure you. We’ll be reunited soon.”
The man in the coffin closed his eyes tightly as if he was asleep.
After a while, when the scent of the incense got stronger, Liliana felt her vision getting more and more blurry.
Subsequently, she fainted to the ground.
In an instant, Natalie threw away the incense in her hand.
The incense she made only had the effect of calming the mind and could cause drowsiness. It had no medicinal effect of bringing people back to life.
“Cecilia, you aren’t dizzy, right?”
In response, Cecilia shook her head. “I ate the pill you gave me and didn’t feel anything.”
Still feeling worried, Natalie checked Cecilia’s pulse to make sure that she was not affected by the scent.
“Cecilia, when I bring you out of here later, lower your head and pretend that nothing has happened.” Natalie’s eyes were cold, and a glint flickered across them. “If anything happens, hide behind me. I’ll protect you.”
Unwilling to hold Natalie back, Cecilia immediately nodded her head.
“I understand.”
“Let’s go.”
As they stepped out of the bedroom, they met two guards standing in front of the door.
When they saw Natalie and Cecilia coming out, they blocked their way.
“Where are you going?”
“The place we’re going is a secret. Come nearer.” Natalie beckoned to them and continued, “I’ll tell you in a low voice.”
Since Natalie and Cecilia were just two defenseless women, the guards lowered their bodies and leaned over without suspecting anything.
At that moment, a hint of hostility flashed across Natalie’s eyes, and she pricked two silver needles on their necks.
Instantaneously, the guards fell to the ground.
“Come on.”
Natalie pulled Cecilia’s hand, and they hurried away.
As long as they left the mansion, they could communicate with the outside world.
Meanwhile, Milton was not bothered about Natalie at all.
After all, Liliana had already gone mad. No matter how many miracle doctors she hired, it would be useless.
He did not care how good Natalie’s medical skills were because it would be impossible for her to bring the man in the coffin back to life.
When that mad woman realizes that the miracle doctor is useless, she’ll naturally ask me to deal with her. When the time comes, I’ll kill her and bury the corpse. Then, no one will ever find out about the secret of the Todd residence, and I’ll still be the helm of this mansion.
After Milton finished smoking, he returned with the servants to check on the situation in the bedroom.
However, when he arrived at the bedroom door, he saw two guards lying on the ground, and there were silver needles on their necks.
Subsequently, he unlocked the bedroom door with his fingerprint and only saw Liliana lying beside the coffin.
Natalie and the hostage used to threaten her were nowhere to be seen.
Did they escape?
At that instant, Milton realized that something was amiss and shouted, “Chase after them! Bring that two women back!”
“Yes!”
In the meantime, Natalie and Cecilia increased their pace, but the mansion was too huge.
“Cecilia, hang on.” Natalie held Cecilia’s arm and supported the latter with her strength.
Gritting her teeth, Cecilia nodded, but the more she walked, the more laborious it became. Soon, she ran out of energy.
After a while, they finally caught sight of the gate.
Just as Natalie and Cecilia felt that they were going to leave the mansion successfully, a group of guards dressed in black suddenly rushed out.
Knitting her brows, Natalie instinctively pulled Cecilia behind her.
When the guards ran forward and wanted to grab hold of Natalie, she hurriedly took out a miniature bow and shot at them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
She shot three arrows at the same time.
The sharp arrows stabbed into the joints of the guards, and the pain caused them to fall to the ground.
