Chapter 264 The Blood Oath

“Got it,” Samson said, not pressing further.

Sloane clutched the shattered teacup fragment and raced back to the hospital. She knew the only way to save Lucas was to identify the poison and craft an antidote from its source.

Inside the hospital, chaos had already erupted-Lucas had suddenly begun vomiting blood. The thick, black liquid poured from his mouth, sending Benjamin and the others into a panic.

Fortunately, Sloane arrived in time. She immediately inserted several needles to stabilize him, and the bleeding finally stopped.

But as she stared at the pool of black blood on the floor, her heart sank.

Madam Tessa, seeing that Lucas had finally stabilized for the moment, stepped forward anxiously. “Sloane, did you find out what kind of poison it is?”

Sloane’s face was grim. “I only confirmed that the poison came from Madam Aubrey’s room. But she refuses to say what it is.”

“That wicked woman!” Madam Tessa trembled with rage. “How could she do such a thing? Lucas is her own son!”

“The priority now is to get Lucas the antidote.” Sloane glanced at the unconscious figure in the hospital bed. Her calm exterior began to crack, fear clawing at her chest.

“You’re right. Lucas comes first.” Madam Tessa gritted her teeth, then made a decision. “You stay here and do what you can-I’ll go deal with her myself.”

Sloane nodded. She didn’t stop her.

She split the teacup fragment into two samples and handed one to Benjamin. “Have this tested immediately.”

Benjamin took the fragment, frowning. “These compounds are too complex. Even with everything we have, the earliest we’ll get results is tomorrow…”

He didn’t need to say more. Lucas might not last that long.

Sloane clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms. I know, she thought bitterly. She forced herself to stay composed. “Take it for testing. I’ll stay with him.”

Once Benjamin left, Sloane sat alone in the room, keeping silent vigil by Lucas’s side.

But as midnight approached, his condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. His breathing turned shallow and rapid, machines around him blaring in warning.

Sloane held his hand tightly, her chest twisting in agony as she felt his warmth fade away.

Benjamin and the others rushed in, pale with panic.

“Lucas! Lucas, wake up! Don’t scare me like this!” Benjamin shouted, gripping the edge of the bed.

At that moment, Madam Tessa returned, her efforts having failed. She collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted– and in despair, her eyes brimming with tears. “Lucas… my poor grandson…”

But amid the panic, Sloane remained strangely calm. Her eyes flashed with resolution, and she turned to the room full of people.

“Everyone-leave.”

The room fell silent.

Benjamin stiffened. He glanced at her expression, and something clicked. His voice shook with equal parts hope and fear. “Sloane… do you have a way to save him?”
