"What did you say?" Upon hearing me, Blake’ eyes widened.

"I said I’ll stay," I gripped my hands tight and repeated with a clearer voice.

Blake’s eyes lit up like someone who have seen the sun after the prolonged winter. A smile beautiful smile bloomed on his lips, making my heart waver. Then, he reached out to me, clearly wanting to hug me.

I looked at Blake with a frown before taking a few steps back, avoiding his touch. I rubbed my ears, feeling a little awkward.

"But I'm only staying to help remove the poison," I quickly emphasized. Although I said I would stay, it wasn’t because I have forgiven Blake and accepted him again as my mate. I only wanted to detoxify him.

Blake’s hand froze in midair, his face suddenly turned blank. After a couple of seconds, Blake finally withdrew his hand.

"And after that?" Blake carefully asked me.

"I will leave," I answered.

Blake’s expression instantly fell. The hope that just flickered in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with pain and sadness.

I could feel his gaze still fell on me, but I chose to ignore it. I couldn't..., I just couldn't bear the mournful look on his face.

As I was at a loss, Arthur broke the silence by bumping Blake's shoulder and saying, "Hey lucky bro, we found the solution to the poison. You'll be fine!"

Silence...again.

Blake didn’t say anything. He did not even glance at Arthur, as if what Arthur said did not matter at all. It was as if he did not care about living or dying.

He merely kept staring at me, quiet but aloof.

Arthur had an embarrassed look on his face. He scratched his head awkwardly and put some distance between himself and Blake.

Feeling suffocated by Blake’s stare, I looked away from him and intentionally turned to Arthur.

"Do you have his body check-up result? I especially need a report on his blood work to determine which poison is in his system." I asked, purposely ignoring Blake.

"Yes… We have that." Arthur only hesitated for a moment before he quickly retrieved a stack of documents from his office desk and handed them to me. My heart sank as I briefly went through the papers. Based on Blake’s result and blood work, the poison that was given to him was… a very complex poison.

I felt a cold chill down my spine. "Looks like Father and the others really wanted Blake dead." If not for Blake’s unique physique and strength, he would have already died a hundred times.
