Chapter 655: Who Is It?
Tina did not respond; the mystery of the Five Poisons lingered incessantly in her mind. It was the first enigma she had chased for so long without a single clue, and the same was true for Natalie.
"It seems the answer to the secret is still in the potion," Natalie said, stroking Tina's hair and gently pinching her cheek, "Let's go to the lab."
Tina rolled over on Natalie, "Mom, can we eat something first?"
"Why do you always think about eating?"
"Uncle always takes me to eat something delicious before we go out. If you don't take me, I won't leave!"
Natalie slightly curved her lips, took out her phone, and dialed Jared, "Your Tina wants something delicious, send it to YQ lab."
Jared was in a meeting; upon hearing this, he immediately ended it.
Nothing was more important than Tina wanting to eat something delicious!
Tina looked at her scheming mother and muttered resentfully, "I get all my cunning from you!"
"Well, you are my daughter after all, let's go!"
In this world, Natalie was the only person who could handle Tina.
At YQ lab, Jared delivered some Japanese cuisine and waited there.
Wraith came in and out many times, rolling his eyes at Jared each time.
On the last occasion, Jared grabbed him, "Do you know what it feels like to have your eyeballs scooped out?"
Wraith shivered but retorted stubbornly, "You're one to talk, always sparing feelings, do you know what it feels like to have your genitals cut off?"
This remark baffled Jared. Had he ever spared Wraith?
Wraith caught Jared's puzzled look and realized, "Not me! It was Lily!"
Jared was even more confused. Lily?
The flower?
Wraith rolled his eyes exaggeratedly and dragged Jared into his own lab.
There, in a small room within the lab, sat a person with only one eye, surrounded by walls plastered with Jared's photos, mumbling something indistinct.
Wraith snorted, "Every time I want to conduct an experiment, she's restless. Only your photos calm her, it's annoying."
Jared then remembered, this person was Lily Ward.
Tina and Natalie also arrived, each holding a box of sushi.
"Lockie, are this girl's organs starting to fail?"
Natalie asked.
Wraith pursed his lips, "Yes, but it's not my fault, I merely conducted some experiments on her!"
Natalie gave him a knowing look, no guess needed about what kind of experiments were done on Lily Ward.
Wraith leaned on the railing, observing the somewhat delirious Lily Ward inside.
"You know, maybe you should get me a new subject. Although your drug worked well and she is indeed slowly repairing her organs, the human body has its limits, and the organs will eventually start to fail. She won't last much longer." Tina fed Jared a piece of salmon, "Really? I'll look around to see who wants to die and send them your way."
Wraith nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, the sooner the better. But please, not your rival in love; I don't want to collect your husband's photos everywhere."
Tina paused, popped the next piece of salmon she was about to feed Jared into her own mouth, and scowled at Jared.
Jared: I feel wronged!
Wraith: No man is innocent in this world! Except for myself!
Jared could only watch helplessly as the salmon he was about to eat disappeared, harboring thoughts of turning Wraith into an experimental subject!
Natalie finished her sushi and observed the symptoms of organ failure in Lily Ward.

Suddenly, she had an idea.
"Lockie, bring the st-1 and inject it into Lily Ward," she ordered.
The others were stunned, except for Tina, who quickly understood.
Wraith was the first to refuse, adamant against it, "I'm not the boss, and there are only two doses of st-1 left. You already had me alter cell growth, wasting a lot, and now you want to inject more, leaving no possibility for further research! If you want her dead, leave her to me!"
Natalie ignored him, taking the st-1 and preparing to inject Lily Ward.
"Boss, think this through!" Wraith shouted.
Tina pulled him back by the collar, as if lifting a small chicken, "st-1 was developed by her, are you worried we won't find more?"
Wraith then realized, "Fine, fine, you mother and daughter do as you please!"
Really, it was as if being a monster was something special!
Once upon a time, Wraith too had a reputable name in the circles!
A name that resonated loudly!
All because of Spectre!
It was infuriating!
Natalie and Tina didn't have time to attend to Wraith's internal outcries; they injected the unconscious Lily Ward with st-1.
Her body was connected to many monitors, tracking the state of her organs.
Initially, there was no change after the injection.
Lily Ward seemed to be in agony, collapsing to the ground, screaming in a way reminiscent of Joshua rolling on the prison floor, in unbearable pain.
Half an hour later, Lily Ward finally returned to normal.

She sat on the ground, gasping for air, the pain on her face gradually fading.
At that moment, the values of her failing organs began to normalize, still lower than average but no longer life-threatening!
It meant that st-1 was actually repairing Lily Ward's failing and nearly dead organs!
Tina and Natalie were incredulous.
The human body has a limited capacity to endure, and exceeding certain thresholds would cause previously administered medications to backfire.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Like Lily Ward, who Wraith had injected with numerous drugs to sustain her vital signs in an attempt to prevent her death, yet she still faced the risk of organ failure.
Just half an hour ago, Lily Ward was on the brink of death.
Now, all her organs had recovered to normal functioning!
Wraith's eyes widened in disbelief.
This was truly an affront to natural law and conventional wisdom!
Tina stepped forward and conducted a series of checks on Lily Ward, truly restored, without any deceit.
Holding the remaining st-1, Natalie also formed a bold idea.
"Jared, I'm going to see Joshua."
"Master, why do you want to see him?"
Jared asked, puzzled.
Natalie's gaze grew sharp, a chill in her eyes, "I suspect that the relationship between Five Poisons and Joshua is not merely that of master and disciple, perhaps his body holds the key to unraveling the secrets of Five Poisons." Five Poisons was an extremely proud and patient individual.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so many years undercover as Jake Glover in high school and college.
He had become Joshua's master and confided all his affairs to him, even the details of the Brookes family's abduction of Alina.
There was definitely more to it than meets the eye!
