Chapter 155

Lily shot Loid a glare. She suddenly inserted a needle into his acupoint. "Ouch!" Loid shrieked. "Are you trying to murder your husband?" Producing another needle, Lily asked indifferently, "Why did you go to Aeston when your poison hasn't been resolved?" "I found out that one of the Hidden Families, the Albotts, had a stalk of Redushil. My attempt to steal it was in vain," Loid said innocently. Lily froze, feeling somewhat baffled. "If it's that easy to obtain Redushil, I wouldn't have delayed Grandma's treatment until now. Given your brilliance, I certainly didn't expect you to be as foolish as Shaun is." Clearing his throat, Loid continued, "The Albotts did have the Redushil with them, but I was too late. They've already given it to someone else." His expression grew sheepish as he explained, "I was kidding earlier. I didn't attempt to steal it—I went to buy it from them." Loid was aware that the Weiss family's Redushil couldn't be bought, no matter what price was offered.
