Her Seven Little Bodyguards
Chapter 484

Chapter 488

"What are you doing, Lily?" Vania and Hanson asked in a concerned manner together with the other children. She then sympathetically seized the child's hand in an attempt to stop her bleeding.

"I've taken herb baths frequently ever since I was younger. As such, I'm aware that I must use myself as an experiment to see if the cure would work in this water full of herbs." Lily didn't seem to be concerned about her wound as she proceeded to drip a single drop of blood into every bucket.

"Alright, pour some hot water into every bucket and leave them there for an hour-not a second less or more. Otherwise, it could lead to fatality." As much as Lily didn't want to scare them, she was telling the truth.

"Get my people ready. I want no one to interrupt us within this hour," said Hanson coldly.

"Alright, I know what to do now." April reacted with a serious look on his face, knowing Eddie would probably start plotting against them if he found out about the cure.

In the meantime, Eddie was glaring at Brandon and Lilith, wishing he could just kill them right away. "Tell me what you just said one more time!"

However, Brandon was too scared to respond, shaking like a leaf from head to toe. "What's wrong with you? The cat got your tongue? I suppose you know how it's going to end for you. Why don't you start by telling me what you were sent to do today?" Eddie gave him an evil eye like a rageful madman.

Brandon wiped the sweat that was covering his forehead and said, "You sent me out to keep an eye on Melanie so that I could call for reinforcements should she fail."

"It turns out that you do remember, eh? Huh, I thought it slipped your mind. Who was it that told me everything went smoothly just now?"

"Me. It was me," Brandon answered in a soft voice, struggling to muster the courage to look Eddie in the eye.

"If everything went smoothly, tell me why they are still alive! Was that what you saw just now?!" Eddie snarled so angrily that he looked like he wanted to tear down the house. Meanwhile, Brandon was too timid to say a single word as he wished he could just bury his head into the ground. "What am I paying you pieces of crap for?" Eddie snapped the fountain pen in a fit of pique. "Did you use the poison on them?"

"We did. We were sure that they were covered with poison, and I'm absolutely positive about that." Brandon desperately tried to say something in an attempt to calm Eddie down.

As Brandon expected, Eddie appeared to lighten up a little. "That poison is incurable, and the only thing that's waiting for them is death." Soon, he sat in the chair and said in a preoccupied manner, "I can't believe Hanson was able to rally so many people to his aid in a place full of threats and danger such as Hammond. Perhaps he is indeed more powerful and influential than I thought he was."

Eddie then expressed his jealousy by keeping a stiff upper lip as he flickered the lighter and watched the flame dance in the air in front of him. "But that doesn't matter because he's been poisoned anyway."

While Brandon was about to warn Eddie that Hanson had found the Great Chemist, he was held back by Eddie's bad temper, worried that he would have to suffer from his wrath if he told him about that.

Then, Eddie turned his attention to Lilith, who immediately kept her head down as soon as their eyes met. "You'd be a fool if you think I don't know anything that's going on in the school-I know every single one of them. I can't believe you still did something so stupid even after years of training." Eddie expressed his disgust.

"Anyway, you're going to outlive your usefulness pretty soon, for it won't be long until they die from the poisoning."

That poison will kill its victim in seven days? Lilith was overwhelmed by a strong panicky feeling, thinking she mustn't outlive her usefulness. After all, she still wanted to continue enjoying her comfortable and rich life.

No way! I want to keep living like a princess. How can anyone ever take this away from me? This shouldn't end so soon. I thought it was agreed that I would go undercover to infiltrate Hanson and Vania's family?
