Chương 40: 40: Too late?

Inside the restaurant, a young woman was lying on a bed. Her dark hair was so long that they came down to her bosoms. Unfortunately, she wasn't up. Her eyes were closed as she remained unmoving. Only heavy breathing could be heard from her.

Her lips had turned red, and her face turned pale, making her seem like the people who were surrounding her.

An old man, seemingly in his sixties, was sitting near the woman with a table before him. A bowl was on the table in which he was crushing some herbs to make something.

Many different kinds of herbs were spread all around the table.

"Some water," the old man commented, reaching out his hand towards the back. A dark-haired Vampire picked up a jug of water and handed it over to the man, who dropped a few droplets of water in the bowl before keeping the jug down.

Everyone in the hall was worried about the woman on the bed who had just been poisoned, but not everyone was worried for the same reason.
