Chapter 58 What’s So Great About It?
After drinking a mouthful of the water of life, Orion immediately spurted blood!
His face was as red as a burn charcoal, and his expression was extremely painful!
He held his throat with both hands, feeling as if a knife was scraping from his throat to his stomach.
“Poof!”
Another mouthful of blood, shocking to the eye!
“Ah!”
Upon seeing this, Betty screamed out loud directly.
Scarlet’s face turned pale with fright and she covered her mouth.
Stephen and Blake hurried over to try to support Orion, but he fiercely struggled and broke free.
Immediately after, Orion continued to vomit blood, looking extremely frightening.
“Mason, I’ll freaking kill you!” Stephen roared angrily and pulled out a gun, pointing it at Mason.
Mason sneered, “What’s the matter, can’t handle it? If you’ve got the guts, go ahead and shoot! But mark my words, if you do, none of you will make it out of here alive today!” At this moment, Mason was secretly amazed.
He didn’t expect that drinking the water of life at 96 degrees would be so terrifying.
Therefore, he understood how impressive Lachlan’s secret help just now was, and felt even more that his brother-in-law was mysterious and profound!
However, he had no guilt or pity towards Orion!
He thought he could play with fire, but in the end, he couldn’t handle it. All he could do was blame his lack of a good brother-in-law…
“Hurry, hurry and call an ambulance!” Betty cried out.
Blake quickly took out his phone and began dialing 911.
“If you don’t want him to die, force-feed him this with water!” At this moment, Lachlan took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Betty. Inside were some white powder.
“What is this? This can’t be poison, can it?”
“It’s all you! You bastard and your rotten idea, trying to play Orion to death, huh?” Blake demanded with red eyes, pulling out a handgun and pointing it at Lachlan.
While he was drawing his gun, Lachlan made a move and squeezed the barrel.
However, it was immediately taken away again, as he had been frightened.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“If I wanted him dead, why would I need to go to such lengths? His esophagus and stomach have already suffered severe burns, with extensive bleeding. By the time the ambulance arrives, he might not make it! Even if they manage to save his life, his nervous system will have irreversible damage!”
“Whether you feed or not, it’s up to you guys to decide!” Lachlan sneered.
Those who harmed others will always be harmed themselves.
Orion wanted to kill Mason, but in the end, he had nothing to pity himself for. Lachlan didn’t intend to kill him either.
“Now is not the time for impulsiveness. Put away your guns and do what he says!” Scarlet urged anxiously.
Stephen and Blake finally put down their guns and held Orion down together, while Betty took the bottle from Lachlan’s hand and poured it into Orion’s mouth.
“Don’t use too much, a quarter of the bottle is enough!” Lachlan reminded her.
Betty stopped pouring and then gave Orion some warm water to drink.
Suddenly, this notorious playboy convulsed violently before letting out a hoarse scream a few seconds later.
“Ah! It hurts so much!”
“I… I’m going to die… help me!”
He couldn’t even make a sound earlier but now after taking the medicine he was able to speak again. Moreover, miraculously his bleeding stopped as his condition stabilized.
Upon seeing this scene, Stephen and the others were secretly surprised.
“What kind of medicine is this? The effect is so immediate,” Scarlet said as she took the bottle from Betty’s hand.
On it was printed “Lowe’s Golden Wound Medicine.”
The next second, the wealthy heiress walked up to Lachlan and asked in a low voice, “Is this the medicine you want my dad to promote for you?”
“No, it’s nothing,” Lachlan shook his head and reached out to take it back from Scarlet.
Zak’s attitude on the phone and Scarlet’s behavior after seeing him today made him completely abandon any thoughts of continuing to deal with the Harris family. However, Scarlet reacted quickly and quickly backed away with the bottle behind her.
Lachlan’s actions annoyed her. She coldly said, “What are you doing? Do you want to snatch it from my hand?”
She then added with a snort, “Give me some more so I can let my dad try it again. If its effect is really good, we can consider promoting it in military circles.”
Lachlan heard her but simply chuckled, “No need.”
“No need?” Scarlet was stunned that Lachlan refused this time.
The next moment, she couldn’t help but feel even more resentful, “What’s so great about it? Don’t bother counting, don’t say we didn’t help you!”
As she spoke, she glanced over at Mason and leaned in to whisper in Lachlan’s ear in a low voice, “Although I don’t know what means you used to help Mason hit on me, is it really that interesting?”
Lachlan made a sound of confusion before saying, “Miss Harris, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Pfft!” Scarlet sneered.
Others may not have noticed it, but she did. One of his hands had been placed on Mason’s back the entire time. It looked like the kind of shoulder-to-shoulder gesture between men, but who knew if there was something fishy going on?
Originally Mason had been drinking until he vomited everywhere. But after Lachlan came in, he suddenly became invincible and could even drink 96-degree liquor without any problem at all. Scarlet didn’t believe for one second that this was all due to Mason’s own ability.
At this moment her beautiful eyes were filled with suspicion and questioning as she stared hard at Lachlan.
Lachlan couldn’t be bothered with her pretense anymore nor would he explain anything; he simply ignored her.
“Mason, handle things here for a bit while I go downstairs first!” Lachlan turned around and said.
“Alright, brother-in-law, you can go ahead. You don’t need to wait for me.” Mason nodded in agreement.
The next second, Lachlan left the private room without a word. Scarlet was so angry that she stomped her foot. She had never been ignored like this before.
After about ten minutes…
Orion was taken to the hospital and settled in with Betty staying behind to take care of him. Scarlet, Stephen, and Blake got into a car and headed back.
Even now on the ride back home, both Stephen’s and Blake’s faces were still very grim. With their backgrounds, they were always the ones doing the stepping on others; when did they become the ones being stepped on?
“Damn it! Today was too pathetic! When did Mason become such a heavy drinker?” Blake cursed angrily.
“It wasn’t Mason; it was his brother-in-law who caused all of this,” Scarlet said with a sneer.
As soon as she finished speaking, Blake gritted his teeth and said through clenched jaws, “That’s right! It was that son of a bitch’s idea, nearly killing Orion! Don’t let me see him again, or I’ll blow him away with a single shot!”
As he spoke, he pulled out his own handgun. But the next second, he let out a confused “Huh?” and his pupils shrank. “My gun… how did it become like this?”
He hadn’t noticed before, but the barrel of Blake’s gun was now deformed with several horrifying fingerprints left on it!
