“Yes, this place belongs to Ms. Viola. She has been staying here ever since Hosen took over Emerald Cauldron Sect,” Ghaylen affirmed. “Mr. Samoll, what’s going on?” Jared asked, still confused.
“Hosen had murdered the previous lord of the sect to become the new lord. The previous lord had wanted to let his daughter, Viola Warwick, take over the role of lordship after him, but Hosen had been coveting the role all the time. He took advantage of the trust the previous lord had in him to poison the previous lord’s family.
Although Ms. Viola had suffered from severe poisoning, she was still alive. So, I brought her here. This was originally the previous lord’s secret location. No one else besides me knows about this place. It’s been years since then. Even though Ms. Viola is still alive, I’ve been unable to get rid of the poison from her system, so she’s been unconscious all these years.”
As Ghaylen spoke, a look of guilt manifested on his face. “Did no one notice how strange it was for all members of the previous lord’s family to suddenly die? I thought you had Helius.”
Jared was astonished. He could not believe that no one would look into the sudden deaths. of the previous lord’s family.
“If not for Ms. Viola telling me about this herself, I wouldn’t have been suspicious of Hosen either. After all, the previous lord had seen Hosen as part of the family. Hosen was nice to the previous lord’s family too. That’s why no one suspected his involvement.
Whol would’ve known that Hosen would be vicious enough to plot the previous lord’s family’s deaths just to become the lord of the sect? In order to treat Ms. Viola, I had no choice but to endure this in silence and pretend as if I knew. nothing as I work for Hosen.”
Ghaylen grew increasingly sad and furious as he spoke. After hearing Ghaylen’s explanation, Jared finally figured out what Ghaylen’s intentions were. “So you’ve brought me here in hopes that I’ll treat Ms. Viola,” Jared said.
Ghaylen nodded. “Yes. You’re a capable healer, and you’re kind. That’s why I decided to muster the courage to bring you here. I hope you’ll save Ms. Viola. Once Ms. Viola is awake, I’ll get to reveal Hosen’s true colors.”
Once he said his piece, Ghaylen went down on his knees before Jared. “Mr. Samoll, what are you doing? I can lend you a helping hand, but I’ll need to check Ms. Viola’s condition first. I’m not a miracle worker who can revive the doomed.”
Although Jared had magnificent medical skills, he was not a master in healing yet. He would have to take a look at the situation before making any promises.
Ghaylen led Jared further into the room until they entered a secret room. In the secret room was a bed, and a young woman was quietly lying on the bed. Her cheeks were rosy as if she was merely asleep. She was none other than Emerald Cauldron Sect’s Viola Warwick.
Stepping forward, Jared stretched out his right. hand to check Viola’s pulse. Then, he injected a surge of spiritual energy into her body..
Around ten minutes later, Jared stood up and frowned. Noticing that, Ghaylen quickly asked, “How is she, Mr. Chance? Will you be able to treat her?”
“Ms. Viola’s case is quite unique. I can’t believe I couldn’t detect any signs of poisoning in her, but at the same time, I can’t figure out why she is in this state. I have no idea what poison Hosen had given to her. If I do, maybe I’ll be. able to treat her.”
It was Jared’s first time encountering something like this. Upon hearing that, Ghaylen sighed. “Hosen must have gotten his hands on this poison somewhere else. It’s been years since then, and I have no idea whether or not that poison is still around. There’s no way Hosen will spill the beans either. It looks like Ms. Viola will remain in a coma forever…”
“Mr. Samoll, you don’t need to be so pessimistic about this. I can give this a try, but I can’t guarantee that she’ll recover. Also, I’ll have to take off all of her clothes when I’m treating her, so…” Jared trailed off, not knowing how to continue his sentence.
