Chapter 404 What kind of catalyst are you talking about ? Ive seen Stellans shows before .
Some catalysts involve human blood dont tell me you need Sophias blood for this ? Sienna asked , her voice tinged with unease .
Her disdain for Sophia , once merely a slight distaste , now bloomed into something much darker .
The thought of using Sophias blood as a catalyst made her stomach chum .
How could anyone stomach it ? If someone drank it , theyd surely become disoriented .
It would feel … filthy The hallway was unnervingly quiet , but Sienna could still faintly hear Sophias voice a lor , suggestive sound that left little to the imagination .
Its clear whats going on in there .
Desire , Odalys said , her tone flat , almost cryptic .
Sienna blinked , completely thrown off by those two words .
Desire ? How do you even take someones desire ? Her mind raced , trying to understand Of course , Odalys never followed the conventional path .
Ordinary catalysts ? She could deal with those .
But desire ? How do you capture intangible , something you cant see or touch Odalys gave her a calm , almost detached look .
Once Sophias desire reaches its peak , Ill use it as a catalyst to find what I need ? My time is running out .
Without the catalyst … She trailed off , the weight of the unspoken words hanging in the air .
Without that catalyst .
Percival would die .
something Tonight after feeling Percivals pulse and observing his condition , Odalys had realized just how dire things were .
She had been suppressing the poison in his body for so long , but it was only temporary .
The negative energy had been pushed back , but it was still there , lingering , waiting to explode .
Wait a second .
Sienna said , her mind racing to keep up .
Youre telling me you need Sophias desire as some kind of trigger for the cure ? Exactly .
If I can stoke her desire and push it to its limit , Ill be able to use it to find the remedy I need Siennas brow furrowed , her thoughts racing .
How do you plan to do that ? What do you need me to do ! Odalys gave her a long , assessing look before whispering something into her ear .
Sienna froze , her hand involuntarily clenching into a fist .
Her usual calm demeanor shattered as her face went pale , shock and disbelief flickering in her eyes Thats … thats your plan ? Sienna asked , her voice barely a whisper , as if she couldnt quite believe what she had just heard .
Thats it .
It sounds simple , but executing it will be far from easy , Odalys replied , her voice low but fi Sienna took a deep breath and then , surprisingly , gave Odalys an affirming nod .
She raised her hand in a gesture of confidence .
Ive been managing the Drake Group for years .
This kind of business , I know inside and out .
Ill take care of it .
You can count on me , she said , her voice full of resolve .
As soon soon as the topic turned to business , Siennas focus snapped into place .
She was a woman who so thrived on negotiation and getting things done .
Whatever the target , she knew how to make it happen .
Thank you Odalys said with e .
genuine smile .
The two women exchanged a knowing look , both understanding the weight of what was to come .
Tm going to check on Dangelos condition , Odalys said , straightening up .
I had planned to come during the day , but Percivals condition worsened , so I came early .
Since Im already here , I might as well see how Dangelo is doing Thank you .
Sienna said with uncontained excitement She knew how skilled Odalys was in medicine .
In fact , Orson had once told her that many of his methods came from Odalys , including the medicines hed been using to treat Tangelo .
Now that Odalys was here in person , it was like a miracle had arrived .
How many people had been hoping for this ? She didnt want to miss the 1/2 Chapter 101 chance .
Its nothing .
Odalys replied , her voice calm .
Its just a small favor .
The two worsen turned and walked toward Dangelos room .
Athey entered , they found Dangelo wide awake , his gaze fixed on the door .
Since Sienna had left , sleep had eluded him .
He was worried .
something might go wrong , afraid of the unexpected .
Seeing Olaly and Sienna enter , Dangelos eyes widened in surprise .
Despite his illness , his mind was still sharp .
y are Miss Stone ? Dangelo couldnt believe his eyes .
He immediately jumped out of bed and quickly approached them , his tone respectful .
Why a vou here so late ? Did something happen ? isit Stellan again ? he asked , a nervous edge to his voice .
He knew that Stellan had landed a new role in a series Odalys had recommended to him , and since today was the first day of filming , he feared the worst had Stellan gotten into trouble ! No , Stellan is fine .
The shoot went well , Odalys reassured him .
I just came to the hospital to speak with Mrs.
Drake about something and decided to check on your condition while I was here .
Dangelo was guided back to his bed , where Odalys immediately began to take his pulse .
The mom fell into a deep , respectful silence as she worked , her hands steady and focused .
After several minutes .
Odalys withdrew her hand and nodded .
Orsons medicine is working .
Your white blood cells are under control now , Thats a good sign .
The cells are no longer spreading , but you need to continue with the medication , Odalys advised .
She acted into her canvas bag and pulled out several silver needles .
Without a word , she inserted them into Dangelos temples and wrists .
The needles stung as they pierced his skin , but Dangelo remained still , not daring to move Im using these needles to protect your heart meridian and control the spread of leukemia .
Keep eating regularly , and when we reach the second stage of treatment , well incorporate chemotherapy .
If you dont experience any bleeding , well proceed with a more aggressive approach .
As the needles entered his body , Dangelos complexion began to improve , a noticeable flush creeping into his pale face .
He felt the change immediately .
His energy surged , and for the first time in a long while , he felt like he could face the day again .
Thank you , Dangelo said , his voice thick with emotion .
When he had first been diagnosed with leukemia , he had braced for the worst .
The survival rate was grim only 5 % of people survived .
Even chemotherapy would only buy him a little more time , not a cure .
Bor now , after hearing Odalyss words and feeling the positive effects of Orsons medicine , he couldnt help but feel a flicker of hope .
Tint thank me yet , Odalys replied with a wry smile .
If I were truly a miracle worker , I wouldnt be here asking you for help at midnight .
Dont Sienna laughed softly , her eyes damp with tears .
She hadnt expected to see this kind of improvement .
Looking at Dangelo now , she could finally see glimmer of hope .
its not the same as with Percival ; Odalys thought to herself .
She remained outwardly calm , but inside , she felt the weight of uncertainty .
She had been hoping for a clear answer , though she didnt voice in but with Percivals condition , it seemed far more complicated .
She had a hunch about what was happening , The conti
