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

going to

Loid and Lily went up to the presidential suite on the 22nd floor of Lagersfield Hotel

Layton and Cillian were already waiting for them. It seemed Qillian’s condition had worsened over the past week. He was lying on the bed when he saw Lily and made to sit up. However, Lily stopped him.

Layton helped Qillian into a sitting position before pouring tea for Llly and Loid.

Qillian looked at Lily and asked emotionally, “Will you truly be able to cure me, Ms. Brooks?”

“Yes,” Lily promised from where she sat across Qillian. She added calmly, “I’m doing this as a favor to someone.”

Qillian needed no further elaboration to know who that “someone” might be. He nodded, tears glistening in his eyes as he asked, “When will I get to see Michael?

“I’ll ask him for you,” Lily said.

She set down her cup of tea and took out her pouch of silver needles. To start th

things off, she took Qillian’s pulse.

Her expression turned grim as she pointed out, “Your toxin levels have increased. I suggest you stay in Lagersfield City for the time being. I’ll come by every night to perform acupuncture on you.”

“Toxins?” Qillian gaped at Lily, “I thought I was down with some regular illness?”

“There’s a slow–acting toxin in your body that’s been destroying your organs,” Lily explained. She paused before adding, “Did you take the Poison Pill Mr. Morris gave you?”

Mr. Morris? Qillian reckoned she must be talking about Michael. He nodded. “Yes. Filty years ago, when Michael first made the Poison Pill, he gave me

“He only managed to make five of the Poison Pills and gave them away as gifts. But I know one can make the Poison Pill with Stargaze. I think you can replicate Michael’s work.”

Lily made no response to this. “Lie down. I’ll perform acupuncture on you now.

A beat later, she added, “I think you should have someone look into the toxins in your body. I don’t know what they are.”

Loid was admittedly shocked to hear this. With Lily’s extraordinary medical skills that put her in a league of her own, it was hard to imagine there was any toxin she didn’t know about.

And yet, she had just professed that she did not low of the toxins coursing through Qillian’s veins.

Qillian seemed to have a vague i

idea of who might have poisoned him. A sad look flickered past his features. “It’s fine, there’s no need to look into the toxins. I’d be happy if you could get them out of my system. As long as I’m alive, the Weiss family will progress for the better.”

Lily gave him a look and said nothing, readying the antitoxin shot.

While the toxins in Qillian’s veins were odd, an antitoxin shot was all Lily needed to get rid of them. After she administered the shot, Qillian felt his body loosen with relief

Leyton was stunned by the results

He knew there were medical extraordinaires in this world, but he never thought a young lady like Lily would be one of them.

Having witnessed Michael’s medical skills before, Qillian was not so surprised by Lily’s prowess.

Lily was Michael’s

apprentice, after all. While her prowess was no surprise, her methods v

still shocking.

Qillian had seen the way Michael treated his patients, but his acupuncture techniques were not as special as Lily’s. Qillian could confirm that Lily was, indeed, the cream of the crop.

When Lily was done with the acupuncture, she closed her pouch and stored the needles. “I might have gotten rid of the toxins, but your damaged organs require a longer treatment.”

“Tell me what I need to do,” Qillian said, convinced by Lily’s skills.

“I’ll give you a post–acupuncture prescription. Take it according to the instructions,” Lily said. When she noticed it was getting late, she left with Loid. Quillian sat on the bed after Loid and Lily left, seemingly in deep thought.

Seated across from him, Layton did not interrupt his thoughts.

A while later, Qillian said, “Make the arrangements as Ms. Brooks Instructed and help her out with whatever she needs.”
