“Have you experienced stomach aches after leaving here last time?” Lily suddenly asked.
Puzzled, Fred shook his head. “No.”
Then he caught himself and roared, “That's none of your business! Where is the antidote, damn it?!”
“You have no more stomachache or diarrhea. You also don’t feel so nauseous now, right? You're just a bit dizzy, and your legs feel
weak occasionally, correct?”
Confused by her questions, Fred pondered seriously. Although he hated himself for answering her, he couldn't help it, “Yes, | think
you're right!”

After he finished answering, Lily stopped asking questions and just smiled.
However, her smile alarmed Fred. “Stop smiling, okay? I'm asking about the antidote, you—"
“Look at the way you talk. You don’t look poisoned, do you?” Lily said meaningfully.
“What the...” He pinched his stomach, then palmed and knocked on his chest. Indeed, he was feeling much better than before.
Although Fred was relieved, he was also infuriated.
His eyes widened as he pointed at Lily, yelling, “You little shit! You never poisoned me!”
“Have | ever said you were?” Lily shrugged. “I can only tell you there's no antidote.”
“How dare you lie to me?” Enraged, Fred threw himself over to choke her.
Lily seized his wrists and said, “Don’t forget what happened to your arm last time. Do you want to try that again?”
Fred was alarmed. “Do it, and I'll get my men to shoot you!”
“| believe you will, but don’t you need my body anymore?” Lily showed no fear. She said blandly, “Don’t get too worked up, okay?
They're just babies. How will losing them impact your grand plan? I'm still here, aren't I?”
Lily let go of him, and he stumbled backward.

Fred steadied himself. He was still upset, even though his anger had diminished due to fear just now. “If you didn’t poison me, why
did the doctor say you did?”
‘Did she conspire with the doctor?’
He wondered briefly but knew it was unlikely. He had returned to Yudonia to see the doctor who had treated him for years.
Moreover, the doctor in the embassy also told him the sthing.
“Sometimes outward appearance can be misleading,” Lily said casually, “On the surface, smight seem poisoned but aren't.
Others might look like patriots but are just downright traitors, right?”
Fred knew she was mocking him. He also realized the symptoms had misled the doctors.
