Suddenly, Arabella added, "Look, I'm even your sister-in-law now. What a fate."
Meanwhile, Arabella said in her heart, "In fact, we have quite an embarrassing relationship. After all,
Mr. Lucero and Tyrone are half-brothers. Besides, Mr. Lucero is a jealous man, often inexplicably
suspecting me and Tyrone."
The faint smile on Tyrone's face quickly faded. He took his coat, turned around, and left.
Arabella was stunned for a moment.
She thought, "Well, Mr. Lucero and his brother both have a strange temper, but it's good that he took
the initiative to leave. Although Tyrone helped me, my relationship with him is really awkward.
Therefore, I'd better keep some distance from him to prevent Mr. Lucero from getting angry again."
...
It was getting late, and there was no one outside. Arabella locked the door of the pharmacy for fear of
someone coming in. Then she took out a test tube and pushed the slender needle into a vein in her
arm.
A bright red drop of Mandala flower venom was slowly pushed into her veins.
While doing so, she thought, "Mr. Lucero's illness can no longer be delayed. I know that Mr. Lucero
minds his illness very much. He is afraid of getting sick, and even more afraid of hurting me when he
does.
That's why Grandma said he really wanted to hold me tightly in his hands, but he was afraid of hurting
me."
Arabella put down the needle, and now there was only silence in her ears. She could distinctly feel that
the drop of Mandala's venom was rapidly spreading through her whole body. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Soon, she felt like countless small ants were crawling all over her veins, devouring and gnawing at her,
giving her piercing pain.
Arabella's forehead was in a cold sweat of pain. She took out a silver needle and stabbed it into an
acupoint, and then the drop of Mandala flower venom was slowly expelled from her fingertip.
At that moment, a sound reached her ears as someone came.
Arabella was startled. "Who's there?"
"It's me."
It was Tyrone's voice.
Arabella had not expected his return.
She tried to rise, but at that moment, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly burst through her eardrums,
and her delicate body fell straight to the ground.
She covered her ears with her hands and curled up in pain.
Standing outside the door, Tyrone had already heard the strange noise inside. He was already very
suspicious, for Arabella had locked the door. "Arabella, what are you doing inside? Open the door
quickly, or I'll kick it open."
Tyrone raised his foot and kicked the door open.
Then he saw Arabella on the ground, her forehead covered with a cold sweat.
"What happened to you?" Tyrone quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee. He took Arabella's
small hand and sniffed her bleeding fingertip. "The venom of the Mandala flower? Where did you get
the Mandala flower? Why did you extract its venom? Arabella, do you know how dangerous it is?"
Arabella's eyes blacked out, and she said weakly, "I'm fine..."
Tyrone took a sharp knife and made a small "cross" cut on her fingertip. Then he pressed her acupoints
to help her accelerate the detoxification.
When the last drop of venom had been expelled, Arabella closed her eyes and fell straight to the
ground.
"Arabella!"
Tyrone reached out quickly, and Arabella fell softly into his arms.
