344.Chapter 344
“Tina.” A shadowy figure appeared in an instant, landing beside Benedict.
Tina reached out to check his condition, then turned to Eliza and said bluntly, “He’s dying.”
Eliza was dumbfounded. ‘Dying?‘ She frowned and hesitated before stepping forward to check Benedict’s pulse herself. ‘Huh?‘ Eliza’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at Benedict in surprise. ‘What’s happening to him? Did someone poison
him?
‘Who would dare poison the eldest son of the Duke’s estate?
‘And why does his pulse feel oddly familiar?
As Eliza was about to examine him further, Benedict, who had been unconscious, suddenly budged. His previously weak and erratic pulse abruptly returned to normal. It happened so suddenly and strangely.
“Eliza, is that you?” Benedict’s vision was still blurry as he slowly regained consciousness.
Seeing a figure before him, he instinctively reached out to grab it. But Eliza, having anticipated this, quickly stepped back just in time.
When Benedict’s vision cleared, he realized the person he had grabbed wasn’t his sister, but a woman dressed entirely in black.
Amidst the crowd watching from afar, Gabriel slapped Matthew across the face without mercy.
Meanwhile, Tina sharply swatted her hand away. Even with a mask covering her face, Benedict could sense the intense disdain in her actions.
Scrambling awkwardly to his feet, Benedict muttered, “Apologies, Miss. I thought you were my sister.”
He had been worried Eliza might slip away again, so he instinctively reached out to grab her, only to realize he’d grabbed the
wrong person.
Tina ignored his apology entirely, turning to stand behind Eliza. Her icy gaze locked onto him, as cold and lifeless as if she were staring at a corpse.
