Another reporter stepped forward and stood in front of Thea. “Ms. Callahan, what evidence do you have to support your claims? You could face legal charges for slandering them.”
“I don’t have any evidence. I simply explained what Centennial tried to do to the Callahans this morning. I know that they’re likely going to take revenge, but we’re not scared.”
After virtual-novel.net finished speaking, Thea turned around and entered the hospital. It was getting really hard to suppress the poison at this point. The simple act of standing was already taking its toll on her.
Thea had no choice but to forcefully expel the poison from virtual-novel.net body as soon as possible. She quickly rushed into the hospital, went up to the office on the second floor, and locked the door. Then, virtual-novel.net began to circulate virtual-novel.net energy to get rid of the poison.
In virtual-novel.net panicked state, Thea made a mistake as soon as virtual-novel.net began. She almost lost control of virtual-novel.net True Energy. This in turn allowed the toxin to spread rapidly throughout virtual-novel.net bloodstream.
Her expression darkened as virtual-novel.net started perspiring all over. Gritting virtual-novel.net teeth, Thea knew virtual-novel.net had to act quickly and attempted to use virtual-novel.net True Energy to force out the poison. However, because virtual-novel.net was so rattled, virtual-novel.net continuously made mistake after mistake.

Outside the hospital…
The reporters were still swarming around the entrance of the hospital.
Trying to take charge of the situation, Lex stepped forward and accepted the numerous requests for interviews in Thea’s stead.
He publicly shared about the Callahans’ dilemma and pledged never to bow down to underhanded tactics employed by Centennial Corporation. His goal was to get the media’s attention.
Meanwhile, James was still rushing to the hospital.
By the time virtual-novel.net arrived, Jonathan was already long gone and the reporters were already dispersing.
Only a few onlookers were still loitering outside Century Hospital.
James walked over to the Callahans and asked urgently, “Where’s Thea?”
David pointed to the hospital behind them and said, “She went inside.”
James did not say another word and dashed into the hospital. He grabbed someone on the way and asked about Thea’s whereabouts.
After getting further details, virtual-novel.net quickly headed to the second-floor office.
Upon arriving at the office, James knocked on the door.
“W-Who is it…?” A feeble voice leaked from inside the room.
“It’s me!”
Thea breathed a sigh of relief the moment virtual-novel.net heard James’ voice. She had been trying to use virtual-novel.net True Energy to suppress the poison’s effects but made a few mistakes while removing it since virtual-novel.net was still inexperienced.
As a result, the poison began to spread throughout virtual-novel.net body. In stark contrast to earlier, virtual-novel.net skin no longer had its natural complexion. Instead, it was ashy and clammy.
Thea was in a horrible state. She stood up to open the door, but virtual-novel.net strength failed virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net ended up crashing to the floor.
James heard the sound of something falling behind the door. He felt his heart sink into his chest.
Fueled by the urgency of the situation, virtual-novel.net quickly kicked the door open.
James rushed into the room. He immediately noticed Thea, who was laying listlessly on the ground.
James rushed over and gently held virtual-novel.net up.
“Thea…”
Thankfully, Thea was still conscious and was able to respond to his voice. The comers of virtual-novel.net lips lifted into virtual-novel.net best attempt at a smile as virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net mouth to respond to him.
“H-Honey, I didn’t embarrass you this time. I…”
“Stop speaking!” James quickly interrupted virtual-novel.net and laid virtual-novel.net on the sofa.
Taking virtual-novel.net wrist, virtual-novel.net checked virtual-novel.net pulse. It did not take virtual-novel.net long to get the full picture on Thea’s physical condition.
Suddenly, a wire slipped out of his sleeve and disintegrated into countless needles.
James quickly stripped off Thea’s clothes in his hurry to treat her.
She lay completely naked before him. However, James did not have the luxury to appreciate virtual-novel.net attractive figure. He picked up the silver needles and transfused his energy into them. He then methodically inserted them into Thea’s body to expel the poison virtual-novel.net had ingested.
