When the servants found a secret room in Anthony’s room, Gabriel knew that this matter was probably not that simple.

Therefore, no one was immediately allowed to enter and check the situation inside.

The knowledgeable Chad acted as if he had heard nothing and continued to study the bottle of medicinal powder.

But after two full hours, Chad said to Gabriel with a solemn expression, “Your Excellency, I’m afraid I’m helpless this time.”

Gabriel didn’t expect that the poison would make even this imperial physician say he was helpless.

He asked, “Chad, what exactly is this poison? Why is it so potent?”

Chad answered, “The difficulty in curing this poison lies in its extremely complex ingredients, which even contain a rare poisonous herb called Red Snake Scale.

“It is precisely because of this poisonous herb that I say I am helpless because it can only be detoxified by another equally rare herb called Green Snake Flower, but the only Green Snake Flower in town was used a year ago. It is difficult to find

another one now.”

Amidst Chad’s sighs, the expressions of Gabriel and the others became even uglier.

Suddenly, Chad said again, “But Your Excellency, don’t worry, although this poison is powerful, it’s not lethal. The person who poisoned the Mr. Stonor shouldn’t want his life.”

Gabriel paused, “What do you mean by that, Chad?”

“Although this poison has sealed Mr. Stonor’s mouth and weakened him, it does not have a significant impact on his body.”

In other words, even if the poison could not be cured, Anthony would not die. At most, he would no longer be able to speak or get out of bed.

Anthony, who had just regained some consciousness on the bed, opened his eyes to hear these words.

His

eyes

widened immediately, and he breathed rapidly with excitement. But no matter how hard he tried to open his mouth, he still couldn’t speak.

In the end, he fainted again, unable to catch his breath in his excitement.

“Anthony? Anthony!” Although he fainted after hearing Chad’s words, it was fortunate that Chad had not left yet. After his treatment, Anthony regained consciousness.

Chad quickly reassured him, “Mr. Stonor, don’t worry. If this poison was given to you by someone else, the perpetrator may have an antidote.”

Only after hearing this did Anthony calm down. After seeing Chad out, Gabriel turned to Anthony.

Knowing that Anthony couldn’t speak or write, Gabriel walked straight into the secret chamber.

Inside were all kinds of medicinal herbs and tools, as well as other small bottles identical to the one found in the drawer at Anthony’s bedside. Seeing those small bottles, Gabriel frowned.

By the time he came out of the secret chamber, everyone could sense the grim expression on their father’s face.

“Anthony, is this poison yours?” Gabriel’s cold words startled Benedict and the others.

When Anthony saw Gabriel enter the secret chamber, it seemed that he already knew what he was facing, so he kept his eyes

downcast and said nothing.

But Gabriel said directly, “You can’t speak, but you can move your head. You should be able to nod or shake your head, right?”

It was obvious that he was extremely angry at this point. If he didn’t get to the bottom of this today, he wouldn’t let it go.

Anthony’s face paled slightly. Meeting his father’s stern gaze, he nodded slowly.

“This poison really belongs to you, Anthony? Then how did you end up like this? Where’s your antidote?” Benedict asked in surprise.
