Lilian followed Mr. Quinton to a villa behind the main estate. The living room was already crowded–Lily and Hugh were among those present.
Lilian had reviewed the Lincoln family’s background with her teacher beforehand. Mr. Quinton had three sons and one daughter. The eldest, Barry, and the second son, Chandler, were children of his first wife. The third son, Jordan Hugh, was born to his second wife-Lily.
Barry had two children: a son, Justin, and a daughter, Misty. Chandler and his wife had died in a car crash, leaving behind one son-Jimmy. Jordan Hugh was still unmarried.
Mr. Quinton surveyed the room and declared firmly, “From this day on, Lilian will take over treatment for Jimmy and Barry. All other therapies are to stop immediately p>
“Dad, this girl looks so young. Can she really be trusted with Jimmy and Barry’s lives?” A tired-looking woman stepped forward. Her face bore the signs of sleepless nights, but even exhaustion couldn’t hide her striking features. This was Barry’s wife, Rona.
“She’s even younger than me,” Misty snapped as she stepped beside her mother. “How can we leave my dad’s life in the hands of some stranger p>
Mr. Quint
didn’t respond. He simply turned to Lilian. “Lilian, I’ll leave it to you p>
Lilian nodded. “Understood. May I see the patients now p>
The rest of the room fell into stunned silence at Mr. Quinton’s decisiveness. Lily’s clenched fists finally
relaxed a little.
Just as Lilian and Mr. Quinton started toward the bedrooms, Misty rushed forward to block their way. “Grandpa, I won’t let her touch my dad. You can have her try whatever on Jimmy, but not my father p>
Rona quickly pulled her daughter back and tried to smooth things over. “Dad, please don’t be upset. Mingyue didn’t mean any harm-she’s just worried about her father. And… this girl is very young. It’s natural to have doubts p>
Lilian glanced at Misty and Rona, then turned to Mr. Quinton. “If they’re this opposed, I’m sure they can find someone more qualified for Barry. Let’s go check on your grandson p>
With a heavy sigh, Mr. Quinton led Lilian to Jimmy’s room.
Inside, several doctors were preparing to draw blood from the unconscious patient. Seeing Mr. Quinton enter, they immediately stepped back.
With a wave of his hand, Mr. Quinton dismissed them.
Lilian stepped into the room and saw Jimmy lying in bed, as though merely asleep. His features were sharp and elegant, like a prince out of a storybook. The phrase echoed in her mind: “Like jade among the commoners, unmatched in the world.” Even with his eyes closed, it was clear-when open, those eyes would surely shine.
She sat beside the bed and carefully removed all the monitoring devices. She had already seen the problem upon entering. Jimmy’s brain had been sealed by a drug. Without the antidote, these machines were useless.

Lilian turned to Mr. Quinton. “Whatever happens next, please don’t make a sound p>
She took out a coldwater needle. A blue glow flickered at the needle’s tip. Mr. Quinton’s eyes widened in shock. For all his knowledge and experience, he had never seen anything like this.
Without blinking, Lilian swiftly inserted the glowing silver needle into the key acupuncture points. The blue light pulsed from the needle into his body. Time passed. Then, slowly, black blood began to seep from Jimmy’s ears and facial pores.
Alarmed, Mr. Quinton instinctively moved to speak-but remembering her warning, he held his tongue and watched anxiously.
The black blood kept flowing, soaking the bedsheets, with no sign of stopping.
Lilian’s face had turned pale-her energy was almost depleted. Just as she reached her limit, the black blood gradually turned red again. She let out a faint breath and withdrew her energy. With a flick of her hand, all the needles flew back into her sleeve.
Mr. Quinton immediately asked, “How is he p>
Lilian stood up, her voice steady. “Jimmy was poisoned with a toxin from Xanderport. I’ve purged the toxins. If all goes well, he should wake up by tonight. Hopefully this information will help you find the culprit p>
Mr. Quinton noticed how pale and drained she looked and quickly ordered a servant to escort her to rest.
Xanderport? His eyes turned cold as ice.
