The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1377

However, even as Jaden turned quiet, his skin complexion was a terrible black and his breathing much weaker. In fact, he was only exhaling without breathing in.

"Mr. Loggins, what's happening here?!"

Chet was utterly confused-how did his son's condition deteriorate so soon after showing signs of recovery?!

"Let me see!"

Abel pulled out the needle he just inserted into Jaden's throat, his face falling as he weighed the needle between his palms.

"What's wrong, Mr. Loggins?!" Chet asked, hurrying to his side.

Some distance away, Edon was zoning out, as he remembered Frank warning him not to let Abel touch the needles he inserted into Jaden directly.

That skin contact was enough to transmit the poison.

"Mr. Loggins!" Edon could not help shouting just then.

"Huh?!"

Both Abel and Chet turned to replace Edon standing there, holding out his hand toward them.

However, even as Edon was going to relay Frank's warning, he suddenly changed his mind-would Abel really be unaware of the nature of the poison and need that warning?

His lips parting for just a moment, he eventually stopped himself and shook his head. "Oh, it's nothing."

Nonetheless, Chet was furious-they were busy trying to save Jaden's life, only for Edon to mess about!

"Get out of here if you're not helping!" he snapped at Edon, taking out his frustrations on him.

Edon was taken aback but did not argue, scratching his head as he turned to leave.

Before he did, he pulled his machete out of the doorframe near Lubor, snorting coldly.

Lubor merely shot him an innocent look in return, but he was laughing inwardly.

"Hehehe... That's twice the dosage now! Let's see if the geezer can pull another miracle now! I'll even literally eat my shoes if Jaden survives this!" "Blargh!"

And even as Lubor looked on with inward glee, Abel suddenly dropped to his knees and coughed out a mouthful of clotted blood.

"What?!" Edon exclaimed in shock as he turned and saw what happened to Abel, and he was once again reminded of Frank's warning.

"W-What?! Mr. Loggins?! What's wrong?! Please, you're scaring me!" Chet was absolutely terrified just then.

It was merely his family's loss if Abel failed to save Jaden, and it was nothing too terrible for the Favonis as they are now.

On the other hand, if Abel died here, their family would be in deep trouble!

Hell, forget Loggins Apothecary-the Four Families of Morhen would crush them if they even sneezed their way! After all, those families all owed Abel favors, and his death here in Favoni House would definitely beg questions! Nothing would go well for the Favonis at that point!

"Are you alright, Mr. Loggins?!" Chet tried to help Abel to his feet.

However, Abel was groaning even as he bellowed, "Stay back!"

"What?" Chet's hands were left hanging in the air.

"Go... This poison is too potent for my skills... G-Get my mentor... He's in—"

Even before he could mention Frank, Abel coughed out another mouthful of clotted blood and dropped to the floor, unconscious.

"Mr. Loggins!"

The sight left Chet numb with fear.

Forget curing his son-Abel had gone down from the same poison too! Would Morhen and Loggins Apothecary let them live if they knew?!
