The moment Owen got his hands on the poison components from Stefan, he didn’t waste a single second. His heart hammered with urgency as he rushed straight to the laboratory, rolling up his sleeves and diving headfirst into the research. The air in the lab was cold, sterile, but his mind was burning. This was no ordinary case. This was a puzzle wrapped in malice, and the deeper he dug, the more his horror grew.
After hours of meticulous testing and analysis, the results on the screen in front of him made his blood run cold. He stared at the data, his face slowly losing its color. The more he studied the poison, the more terrified he became. This wasn’t just a simple toxin. This was a masterpiece of cruelty.
Frantically, he called Stefan over. His voice cracked with disbelief. "It's terrifying! I can't believe someone so malicious exists in this world. It's madness!"
Stefan’s heart, which had never fully relaxed since the moment Renee collapsed, clenched painfully. He rushed to Owen’s side, his sharp eyes scanning the screen. Owen pointed at the long list of chemical components — heavy metals, toxic compounds, each one more lethal than the last. "Look! There's thallium, lead, and uranium... One is already toxic on its own, but this poison practically has all the elements in the periodic table! The person who made this is a demon!"
Silence filled the laboratory. Even Stefan, a man used to scheming and sophisticated enemies, felt the cold poison of fear crawl up his spine. His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. “She’s crazy,” he muttered, his voice low and trembling with rage. How could someone be so brutal? How could anyone craft such a slow, agonizing death?
And the worst part? The victim was Renee.
Stefan’s mind flashed back to all the pain she must have suffered in silence. Every smile she’d forced onto her delicate face. Every word she said when she pretended everything was fine. All while her body was slowly being eaten alive by this monstrous cocktail of poisons. He couldn’t imagine how someone as slim and weak as Renee could bear such pain. His chest ached fiercely. He felt not only hatred for the culprit, but also a bitter guilt — because if Owen hadn’t broken his promise and shown Stefan Renee’s medical report, she would still be hiding the truth from him right now. She would still be pretending to be happy, enduring excruciating pain alone, unwilling to become a burden to him.
“I guess you know who the culprit is since you got the prescription. I won’t say much, but... you have to send her to the police station once this is over. It’s dangerous to let someone this wicked run free,” Owen said gravely. As a doctor, Owen had taken an oath to protect life. His heart was naturally compassionate, and though he had witnessed countless terrible attempts by people to harm one another over the years, this one was something else entirely. It wasn't just cruelty — it was cold, calculated, and devastating. Such a vicious person, if left unchecked, could turn her sights on more innocent people, causing endless suffering.
Owen shuddered to even think about it. He repeated, almost to himself, “A person that vicious might attack more innocent people if left unchecked.”
Stefan’s gaze darkened, his jaw tightening with iron resolve. “I won’t let her off the hook that easily.”
His voice was solemn, dangerously quiet. The words weren’t just spoken to Owen — they were a vow carved into his own soul. In the past, his kindness, his hesitation, had given Briar the chance to harm Renee. He remembered it all: every moment he’d shown mercy when he should have shown steel. He had allowed that snake to slither too close to the people he loved. And now, she had dared to poison his wife.
But no more. This time, Stefan silently swore to himself. This time, he would get rid of Briar once and for all. No softness. No second chances. No mercy.
Yet even as that fierce determination filled his heart, a fresh wave of anxiety crashed over him. The antidote. The poison was terrifying, complex, but the poison wasn’t the only enemy. Time was ticking. And Renee was still suffering inside.
Stefan’s voice turned urgent, edged with panic. “But can you cure her now?” He stared at Owen, his eyes radiating a desperate intensity that said he wouldn’t accept any negative answer.
Owen felt the weight of those eyes pressing down on him. He swallowed, then nodded hesitantly. “Yes, I can, but...” His voice trailed off. He covered his face with his hands and let out a deep, troubled sigh. The kind of sigh that makes you want to crawl into a hole. Because the answer wasn't simple. The answer hadn’t been simple from the start.
“But what?” Stefan’s expression turned ice cold, his gaze ferocious. “You have to cure her. I don’t want to hear anything else!”
Owen winced. He knew this reaction was coming. “Calm down. Didn’t I tell you I can make the antidote as long as I’ve got the prescription? But the problem is that the herbs I want are too rare. It’ll be very hard to get them.” He spoke helplessly, watching his friend’s tension with nervous eyes, silently praying Stefan wouldn’t strangle him on the spot.
Stefan’s whole body had tensed like a coiled spring. But instead of exploding, he forced himself to breathe. The words sank in slowly. He raised a hand to his forehead, releasing a breath he didn’t know he was holding. “Oh, I see...” he murmured, the relief washing over his features, softening some of the sharp fear in his eyes. “The resources aren’t a problem. Just keep on researching; I’ll definitely get you whatever you need.”
He said this as if gathering rare herbs was as trivial as picking up groceries. But Stefan wasn’t just wealthy — he was bold. He would move heaven and earth, cross the entire world, open every vault and climb every mountain, if it meant saving the woman he loved.
Owen, however, didn’t seem entirely comforted. He looked at Stefan with a grave expression, warning him honestly, “Don’t forget your promise. There are not many herbs this rare, and it’ll be difficult to find them all. You might have to suffer a lot to get them.”
Suffer a lot. Stefan already knew that. He had suffered a lot just thinking about Renee lying helpless in that hospital bed. What was a little hardship compared to her life?
And so, as the chapter closes, we see our hero preparing to embark on an almost impossible journey. The culprit’s days are numbered. The antidote is within reach — but only if Stefan can overcome every obstacle fate throws in his path. And you can be sure that those herbs won’t be handed to him easily.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh my, this chapter was absolutely gut-wrenching. I felt Stefan's fury deep in my chest, and Owen’s fear felt so real that I couldn't stop reading. The reveal of that horrific poison — with nearly half the periodic table inside poor Renee’s body — truly made my blood boil. I hated Briar even more fiercely. But at the same time, I loved the growth in Stefan. He’s no longer the same man who let his kindness become a weapon for his enemies. Watching him make that vow to destroy Briar gave me chills. And that cliffhanger about the rare herbs is the perfect setup for a dangerous side quest! The pacing, the emotions, the threats — all of it is so compelling. Truly a fantastic, heartbreaking, and electric chapter.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict that in the next chapter, Stefan will immediately dive into his search for the rare herbs, and he will face an unexpected obstacle — perhaps the herbs are controlled by a rival, hidden in a treacherous forbidden zone, or even sabotaged by Briar’s lingering influence. Renee’s condition may suddenly worsen, forcing Stefan to make a high-risk choice. My bet is that he will encounter new allies or enemies on this journey, and there might be a near-death moment that tests how far he’s willing to go for Renee — while Briar’s fate closes in ever faster behind the scenes.
