478.Chapter 478
Seeing Eliza nod, Nolan also showed a look of surprise. “Didn’t Lawrence say this flower was extinct?”
“That’s correct. Dr. Larson mentioned that this flower had long been extinct, which is why I included it in my plan, Eliza said, but now this unexpected situation had arisen.
Nolan immediately understood what Eliza meant and instinctively offered comfort. “Lawrence should be arriving soof. This flower is, after all, a toxic one. Perhaps it’s not as you suspected. You know more about cultivating medicinal herbs than 1 do, but surely the methods for growing toxic flowers and medicinal herbs must be different.”
Indeed, as Nolan said, cultivating medicinal herbs and nurturing poisons were not the same. Sophie had indeed grown the toxic flowers, but that didn’t necessarily mean she could grow the original Bloodshade Blossom
That was why Eliza needed Lawrence to come and confirm together whether this toxic flower was what she thought it was
When Lawrence arrived, Malaki was with him.
Malaki had recently been busy with Eliza’s renaming ceremony, so he spent most of his time in the Padilla residence, Hasen City.
Eliza hadn’t wanted Malaki to go through too much trouble, which was why she hadn’t sent for him, but she hadn’t expected him to come with Lawrence.
“Miss Stonor, everything needed for the ceremony has been prepared. We just need you to choose an auspicious day, and we can begin,” Malaki reported.
“Malaki, thanks a lot. Let’s talk about the auspicious day later. First, join Dr. Larson and me to take a look at this toxic flower,” Eliza said.
Mary said, “This flower has been nurtured with poison since it was still in the seed shell. It has long since deviated from its original medicinal properties and has become a purely toxic flower. Therefore, it doesn’t require the true cultivation methods; it can be grown with poison alone. So, this flower can only be called a toxin, not a herb.”
“Serenity, rest assured,” Mary reassured Eliza with a glance and said. “As long as the other party doesn’t have the true cultivation method for Bloodshade Blossom, they won’t be able to use this flower to affect your plans.”
Otherwise, there would have been a solution to the poison in Benedict’s body by now.
Although Eliza had returned the three toxic flowers, having toxic flowers and having the true Bloodshade Blossom were two different things.
The poison in Benedict’s body was the same as the one in Gilbert and the others. So, the toxic flowers were the means Sophie’s mother used to control Gilbert and the others.
Since Sophie couldn’t cure the poison in Gilbert and the others, she also couldn’t cure the poison in Benedict. But Eliza could.
She had the antidote formula she had discovered on Sophie and, more importantly, the true Bloodshade Blossom. “Thank you, Mary, Dr. Larson, and Malaki. With this, I can continue with my plan with peace of mind,” Eliza said. In fact, this discovery gave her an even better opportunity to deal with the Duke’s estate.
