Chapter 844
Ever since Luna was in Dellmoor, she had been staying temporarily at the guesthouse adjacent to the Bowers
manor.
Leading a disciplined lifestyle, she was used to waking up early every morning. When Samuel dropped by and
pressed the doorbell, she had already woken up and was saying a prayer for her late grandfather in the room.
Seconds later, she stepped out to answer the door and was astounded to see Samuel standing outside the
guesthouse.
“Mr. Samuel...” She was caught off guard by the latter's sudden appearance.
“There's something I need to ask you.” Samuel cut to the chase.
“Okay! Please come in.” She moved aside to let him in and lead him to the room.

Like Natalie, Luna's life revolved around a wide variety of herbs. Thus, her body tended to give off a faint refreshing
herbal smell. At that moment, there was even a whiff of herbal fragrance in the room.
Samuel caught a glimpse of the baby otter plush on the bed, but he did not even arch his brows.
After serving him a cup of tea, Luna asked courteously, “Mr. Samuel, you mentioned that there's something you
need to ask me. What's that?”
Samuel unbuttoned his cufflink and rolled up one of his sleeves before stretching his forearm toward her. “You'll be
able to detect it from my pulse.”
Luna knitted her brows, placing her index finger and middle finger slightly against Samuel's wrist. She then tried to
feel the rate and rhythm of his pulse with her eyes closed.
His pulse seemed stable and powerful, but somehow Luna could detect faint unusual pounding rates in between.
Dumbstruck, she opened her eyes and piped up, “How's that possible?”
“Between you and your grandpa, who has more expertise in the medical field? Had he ever briefed you about my
condition?” Samuel asked candidly.
There was a drastic change in Luna's countenance, but she responded nonchalantly, “Even though I can't claim to
be more skillful than my grandpa in the medical field, I'm familiar with your illness and well-trained by him. If not for
the Bowers family, the Garcia family would have been wiped out a century ago. As the descendent of the only
bloodline who cheated death at that time, I started pursuing knowledge in the medical field at a young age. On top
of that, my grandpa told me I bear the responsibility to suppress the poison in your body. Thus, I know what
happened to you and what your current pulse reading indicates.”
After pulling back his forearm, Samuel queried placidly, “All right. Can you tell me what my pulse reading implies?”
After pondering for a while, Luna replied warily, “It implies the poison in your body can't be suppressed. In fact,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthere are symptoms of a counterattack.”
Samuel squinted his eyes and instructed, “Carry on.”
“The poison in your body has never been expelled. Grandpa had only come up with a solution to suppress it for at
least a century. Nonetheless, it was good enough to prevent the poison from invading your body during your
lifetime. Most importantly, this method won't affect your health. However, the poison seems to have broken free
from my grandpa's suppression. No doubt, it's still at the early stage, but I foresee your body systems and functions
being affected by it sometime later,” Luna explained further somberly.
Samuel knew at once that his speculation was proven right. He asked grimly, “Luna, what on earth is happening?”
Luna furrowed her brows and contemplated for quite a while before something came to her. “It could be due to the
drug that accelerates aging. At that time, your body aged at a rapid rate. Subsequently, the poison that was
supposed to be suppressed underwent rapid fission too. Even though you were injected with the antidote, it could
only restore your body functionality. Nonetheless, the fissioned poison can't be eliminated...”
That was the only speculation that could explain the current change in Samuel's body.
“Luna, try to apply Old Mr. Garcia's method to suppress it again,” Samuel instructed solemnly.
