Quick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed closed his eyes, feeling Bamboo Whitaker’s pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pulse was fast at times, slow at others, and there were even brief disappearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe ran up at top speed, then came down with the small blue medicine bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius, will this work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had tried to take her own life last time by taking an oral solution from Julius Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out to be a sleeping potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was a matter of life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no room for the slightest negligence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or should we go to the hospital… I’ll call 120 now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe frantically took out her phone, ready to call the emergency number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s too late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed took out two transparent little pills from the blue bottle, stuffed them into Bamboo Whitaker’s mouth, and then poured some water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will this work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe felt it was unreliable, “I should still call 120…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Julius Reed, but it would be such a shame if something were to happen to Bamboo Whitaker at such a young age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough… cough…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as her phone had already dialed three digits, Bamboo Whitaker coughed a few times and slowly opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can’t save her, then no one in the world can,” Julius Reed gently touched Bamboo Whitaker’s forehead, his expression somewhat icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had actually targeted such a young girl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deadly poison, indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I… faint?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bamboo Whitaker looked around in a daze, feeling a wave of nausea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whew…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a long breath and felt a little better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many times has it been?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed crouched on the ground, asking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirteen times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bamboo Whitaker tried to sit up, but had no strength all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It used to be once a year, then every six months, then every three months.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Bamboo Whitaker’s brows were tightly knitted together, “Last time… was a week ago…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have two more attacks, and you will die on the spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed picked her up and carried her to the bed in the guest room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe hastened to follow behind, asking painfully, “Is there no hope? She’s… just a child!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry. When your husband makes a move, there’s no one he can’t bring back,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Quella Radcliffe’s anxious look, Julius Reed soothed her, “Don’t worry, even though the poison is a bit tricky, it’s not without a solution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paced back and forth in the room, his brows slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Husband, really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe’s eyes flashed with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Bamboo Whitaker could really be saved, she wouldn’t have to worry like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe had been terrified when Bamboo Whitaker fainted earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The poison inside her won’t act for half a month, but in this half a month…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed sighed deeply, lightly tapping on his forehead, “Once I’ve dealt with all this mess from the Roosevelt family, I’ll make time to help you refine the medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew pharmacology, he never refined himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been that blunder with Quella Radcliffe last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medicines he refined were basically half-finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was immune to hundreds of diseases and invulnerable to poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why refine medicines?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the point, to kill time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then you need to hurry up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe said anxiously behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bamboo Whitaker was a good girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe, with her overflowing maternal love, liked this young girl from the first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So from the bottom of her heart, she couldn’t bear to see her suffer like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not even twenty years old!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quella Radcliffe took out a wet towel with distress and gently wiped the sweat from Bamboo Whitaker’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Whitaker Family, once the richest in the Southern-river Province just four years ago, how could they have fallen to such a state?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed turned around and looked at Bamboo Whitaker, who seemed somewhat out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when he was the Valley Master of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, he had inquired about the Whitaker Family’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had they fallen to such a state in just a few short years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from what Bamboo Whitaker had said, this poison had been lurking for at least three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Whitaker Family has not fallen,” Bamboo Whitaker said with a bitter smile, “it’s just that it has a new master now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Bamboo Whitaker’s account, Julius Reed finally understood what had happened in these four years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight years ago, a member of the Whitaker Family, Bamboo’s brother Blaze Whitaker, married a girl from the Cook Family of Morwenna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew that the Cook Family harbored wolfish ambitions, and from the moment Ian Cook entered the family, they had started to make their move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They plotted to seize the Whitaker Family’s enterprise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the old man realized it, he was already severely ill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had pretended to be sick in advance, giving Bamboo the chance to escape the Whitaker Family with the photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By that time, the Cook family had already taken control of all the Whitaker’s assets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the bodyguards in the house were people from Ian Cook’s staff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a week after Bamboo escaped the Whitaker Family, the old man suddenly died a violent death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaze Whitaker died under mysterious circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all of the Whitaker Family died in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even doctors could not find any evidence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that remained of the entire Whitaker Family was Bamboo Whitaker, carrying a deadly poison, wandering in exile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the Cook family did not give up the pursuit to kill Bamboo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Cook Family of Morwenna?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed chuckled lightly, “Such audacity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to what Bamboo had said, the Whitakers must have been afflicted with a unique poison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the source of this poison could only be from one place!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Medicine King Valley!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You rest well for now, I will indeed avenge this for you,” Julius Reed said as he turned to leave the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian Whitaker was his friend, one who had lived for countless years, a rare friend in the vast river of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the Whitaker Family was persecuted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not just stand by and watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, this is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Karen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen’s voice bristled with irritation over the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am… Is it convenient for you to talk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen often stayed with the Leocadia Family, and it was sometimes inconvenient for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m outside, there’s no one around me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen’s voice was exceptionally cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you! Stop playing games!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not many people knew her private number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw the incoming call number, Karen even thought it might be a fraudulent or harassing call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, the person on the line could call out her name directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Julius Reed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen’s hand shook, and the phone nearly fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My god, how did you get my number!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trip to Gonzalez City last time had left a deep shadow on her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terry Moore, who considered himself invincible, locked himself in the training gym after returning to the capital and punched sandbags for a whole week!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to know,” Julius Reed spoke coldly, “Have you heard of ‘Three Years, Three Months, Three Days Scatter’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Are you poisoned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karen was a bit skeptical, “Why are you asking about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Answer me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed’s tone was commanding, with an undercurrent of unspoken authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That drug, as of now, aside from the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, only five people know the formula,” Karen said, still curious, “Why are you asking about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To save someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed replied succinctly before ordering again, “Send me the information of these five people. Otherwise, I will come to the capital to kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1383,"2026-06-06T17:05:04.453Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c0ede3986313fef91fc581a74424f7be37428c0060108e0039b5cc4eaa2205b","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-685","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-683",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
