My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)

Chapter 197 

Nora and Marvin had weird expressions on their faces. Both of them fell silent. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

After a while, Nora said, “Since you can cure the Bloodbane poison, hurry up and cure my father, Neil.” 

Suddenly, Loid narrowed his eyes and stared at Nora. “Aunt Nora, how do you know the name of the poison?” 

“You were poisoned with the same thing, weren’t you? Of course I know what it’s called.” Nora looked a little annoyed. 

“I never told anyone what the poison is called,” Loid said coldly. 

“I…” Nora’s face stiffened. “I heard about it from someone else. You’re the successor of the Laurier family. I didn’t want anything to happen to you. So, I went to look for an antidote in secret. That’s why I know the name of this poison. I also found out that it is hard to cure.” 

Loid sneered coldly. “Thanks for worrying about me, Aunt Nora.” 

“You’re my nephew. It’s only natural for me to worry about you.” Nora looked away from Loid. “Let’s not talk about that for now. You have to think of a way to save your grandpa. Nothing can happen to him.” 

Loid glanced at Nora. “That’s right. Nothing can happen to Grandpa. So, you should think of a way to save him, Aunt Nora.” 

“How would I know how to save him? I can’t cure poisons,” Nora said anxiously. 

“What a coincidence. I can’t cure poisons too,” Loid said nonchalantly. But he had a complicated look on his face when he looked at Arthur. 

Lily stood behind Loid as he was talking with Nora. Her expression slowly darkened. 

After a while, she put her hands into her pockets, walked over to the couch, and sat down. When she walked past Neil, she bumped into him and asked impishly, “Hey, will you be able to save him?” 

Neil looked at her and pondered for a while. Then, he said, “I can try.” 

Loid frowned. It was like he was telling Lily to stay put. 

Lily ignored the message he was trying to send with his eyes. Then, she said to Neil, “Hurry up, then. I’m hungry.” 

“Oh, okay.” Neil turned to look at Loid and said, “Loid, bring Mr. Laurier Senior back to his room first. There are some pills left from when I cured you. I’ll give them to him first. I’ll perform acupuncture on him later and see if it works.” 

Loid understood what he meant when he mentioned pills. He glanced at Lily discreetly for a while before looking away. Then, he said calmly, “Sure.” 

He looked at Daniel, who immediately understood what to do. He went up and helped Neil bring Arthur back to his room. 

Nora and Marvin exchanged glances before looking at Lily one more time. They didn’t say anything as they went to sit down in a corner. 

Loid led Lily to a couch and sat down. He had an inherently commanding presence, so no one dared to speak with him. 

For a moment, there was complete silence in the villa. Then, a noise rang out. Everyone looked toward the noise and saw that Lily was playing a game on her phone. It was a little loud, and everyone in the villa could hear it. 

Lily’s actions angered Nora. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up. “You bitch! Dad’s life is hanging by a thread. Not only are you not concerned at all, but you also have the audacity to be playing a game? How can you be so rude?” 

Lily raised her head to look at Lily while her hands continued to play the game. Before she could say anything, Loid said coldly, “She’s my fiancée, Aunt Nora. If you’re saying she’s rude, does that mean I’m rude, too?” 

Nora wanted to yell at Loid, but she swallowed those words when she turned and met his chilling gaze. 

“That’s not what I mean. I just think she’s being rude because she’s playing games on her phone while everyone else is worried about Dad.” “What about you? Grandpa fainted, but you didn’t help him. Instead, you took the time to come and argue with me. Wasn’t that rude of you?”
