Frank was sitting in the tearoom, nonchntly drinking his tea and wondering when Dan would


    return.


    Soon, he strolled out to find the nurses were all very busy in various rooms.

    Just then, shouting echoed down the hallway.


    Frank headed over in curiosity to find a burly man pointing at J as he snapped, “Do you know what


    you’re doing?! If anything happens to my boss, I will burn this ce to the ground!”


    J was wiping the sweat off her brow as she growled through her teeth, “Just calm down. I’m trying


    to help him here.”


    Frank nced at the patient on the bed, whose face had already turned blue and was clearly on the


    brink.


    Just then, J told the nurse beside her, “Lindsay, get a vigor pill from the pharmacy.”


    The nurse nodded repeatedly at her words, but Frank was frowning in turn and interrupted them. ” That


    won’t work. The patient’s issue is not his vigor.”


    Everyone turned toward Frank at his words, but he ignored them and walked straight to the patient.


    As he took the patient’s wrist to feel his pulse, the burly man red at him and demanded, “Who the


    hell are you?!”


    “The one who will save your boss,” Frank replied tly.


    “You can? Then do it!” The burly man did not care who did it, even if it were a tramp, as long as his


    boss was cured!


    Beside Frank, J told him under her breath, “No, Mr. Lawrence. The patient’s condition is


    oundish. You should leave!”


    She expected him to know a thing or two about medicine since her own grandfather’s friend


    rmended him. However, she was not convinced that Frank was better than her, since her


    grandfather was the best healer in Riverton while she was second best.


    Nheless, Frank said bluntly, “He might really die if you feed him a vigor pill. Bring a set of silver


    needles instead–he’s been poisoned.”


    “What? Are you serious?” J eximed, looking at him in disbelief and thinking it was a joke.


    The man had shown no signs of poisoning when she checked him just now!


    Moreover, the patient was East City’s kingpin–if Frank messed up and got him killed, Flora Hill would


    be a casualty!


    Even so, Frank said tly, “His pulse is weakening and he appears to be losing vigor. However, he’s


    been poisoned with Ster Wormwood–that exins his body’s weakened state. If you give him a vigor


    pill, his veins would burst, and he’d die.”


    J was herself learned in medicine and understood Frank’s diagnosis immediately.


    Still, she soon paled. “But isn’t Ster Wormwood extinct? How could he be poisoned with it?”


    Frank shook his head. “I don’t know about that. But it definitely isn’t extinct…”


    He had seen that poisonous herb himself three years before and was almost a victim himself.


    He was certainly surprised to encounter it again three yearster….


    “Well, do you have a solution, Mr. Lawrence?” J asked, looking at him hopefully.


    She had no idea how to get rid of this form of poison, and her grandfather was away… but if Frank


    knew what to do, there was probably hope!


    To her delight, Frank nodded. “Just bring me a set of needles.”


    J did not hesitate to do so.


    Beside them, the burly man had been watching them discuss endlessly, and he urged angrily, “Can you


    really do it?”


    “Shut it,” Frank snapped angrily, shooting him a re. “Another word from you, and you’ll follow your


    boss to hell.”
