Chapter 1695 A Glimmer of Hope

"Father, don't worry. I will replace a way to make more. I know the formula," he said.

He had also read medical books. His father's condition today was exactly as described in the books.

So he was also certain what ingredients were in the chronic poison his father had been taking all along, and he had memorized the antidote formula.

"You've worked hard..." Although the king looked a bit fatalistic, the will to live was human instinct.

He felt a little more at ease, at least they had found the antidote.

"It's my duty," Rowan's eyes moistened again. He was filled with regret and self-reproach. Now it was a race against time, gambling with the god of death.

He guessed the culprit was his uncle, but how could he bring him down?

Being poisoned for years showed he had meticulous plans. Over the years, with his uncle's shrewdness, he must also have accumulated connections and power.

But the most important thing now was to cure his father.

Just then, Rowan's phone rang with a special ringtone. He knew who it was without even looking.

"Father, let me take this call first. I won't go out. Please rest," Rowan said gently to the king, then took out his phone.

"Okay," the king closed his eyes. His body was a little tired, but the pain had significantly diminished.

"Hello, Master," Rowan went to the window and answered softly, glancing at the closed door not far away.

Jennifer asked him, "Are you available now?"

"Yes," Rowan parted his thin lips. "There's something I want to discuss with you. My father's condition is exactly as described in medical books - violent coughing, even coughing up blood, pale complexion but purple lips."

They had both read this book. This description really meant he was on his deathbed, in critical condition.

So Jennifer's heart lurched a little with worry.

But she quickly calmed down. "Don't panic first. Did you give him the medicine?" she said positively. "This is the antidote I made according to the formula."

"He drank it, small doses repeatedly, but later I increased the dosage," Rowan said. "But I'm running low on the medicine here. I was going to make more myself, but I'm missing one ingredient."

"It's okay, keep giving it to him first. I'll make more and bring it over," Jennifer told him. "I'll come help investigate the culprit too. Ivan contacted me."

"You're coming too?" Rowan was very puzzled. Wouldn't that put another person in danger?

"Yes, I'll come after I finish making the medicine," Jennifer said to him. "Let's work hard together. Bye for now." With that, she hurriedly hung up, because Finnley's call was coming in and her line was busy. Leaving Rowan still wondering, she's coming to help?

Why did it have to be her?

But Rowan didn't doubt her. Mr. Marsh must have his own plans.

Arkpool City, the snow had melted. It was a sunny day today.

Soon, Finnley drove to Emerald Bay to pick up Jennifer. He took her to Sunshine Village where they found the rare medicinal herb.

"Is this enough?" Finnley asked her.

Jennifer put the uprooted herbs into a bag. "It's enough. You don't need too much of this, but you can't skimp."

"Is there anything else I can help with?" Finnley also wanted to do his part.

"Just persuade your parents a bit. Claire went to Lu Layeka on her own. As long as things work out, she can come back soon. Don't mention her then," Jennifer said. "Yeah, my parents' emotions are quite stable now," Finnley said. "Just worried at first."

"Don't worry. I'll do my best to protect her when I'm over there too," Jennifer said. "Help keep an eye on the company when you have time. Things should run smoothly."
