Even though Cassis was unconscious, blood kept pouring from his month.
Her clothes quickly became soaked with D.
“Quick, call an ambulancel”
Shown urgently mutracted.
Noah was frozen in place, too scared to move. Shawn, worried that the child might be forgotten in the chaos, scooped him up into his arms. Meanwhile, Gemma, though shaken at first, began to regain her composure.
Thankfully, she had a habit of bringing her med kit with her.
It was just what she needed right now,
She laid Cassius flat, ripped open his shirt, and listened to his breath and heartbeats carefully.
But, he suddenly tumed over and spat another mouthful of blood.
Genona’s face tightened. She quickly pulled on a detox pill and tried to feed it to him.
Cassius’s insides felt like they were being burned by fire, the pain making him clench his teeth
The pill wouldn’t go in.

Gemina’s mind raced
Finally, she placed the pill in her own momh, lowered her head.
And she pressed her lips to Cassius’s!
His breath was cool.
Like a pine forest after a fresh snowfall.
At that moment, Cassius seemed to sense something his Adam’s apple moving as he swallowed, unexpectedly drawing her in even deeper.
Gemura’s heart skipped a beat.
Her breath caught for a second.
A tingling sensation shot from her lips all the way to the crown of her head, then to her tailbone.
She from, sining on the floor,
A flush spread quickly across herein.

Just as Shawn finished arranging the stretcher, be happened to witness this scene.
He cleared his throat several times, trying to mask shock.
“This is just läe mouth–to–mouth resuscitation, right?”
Gemma regained her composure, nodding in agreement. “Something like that.”
The medical tram arrived shortly after and took Cassius away.
“This book, put it in a box” Gemma said, patting on a pair of gloves as she picked up The Artemas File and place it into a wooden box.
Shawn instantly understood.
“This book is poisoned?”
Gemina nodded. “It’s like a masterfully concocted poison with layers upon layers of danger, and the antidote is nearly impossible to find. The penon behind it is both a genius and a villain “
Shawn gritted his teeth. Im gonna find our right now and rip him a new one!”
In the private hospital

The doctors couldn’t figure out the exact situation, so they tuned in Gems for help.
The detox pill huemporarily suppressed the poison’s effects.
Cassius’s fire was palle, but he was in much better coalition than when he was in the underground thy
Gemma thought for a moment, her gaze tracing down from his brows, over his nose, to his lips, still stained with blood.
Earlier…
No, don’t think about in
She was a doctor. Saving lives was hier job.
Kven when dealing with others, in life or death situations, she would perform mouth–to–mouth if needed.
She’d saved so many people on the operating table. Why was she belig so sentimental now?
She quickly got up and filled a basin with warm water.
Gently, she wiped his face, cleaning the blood from his lips.
Honestly, his lips were very well–shaped
Gemma quickly turned her face away.
Suddenly..
Cassin reached out and grabbed her wrist.
“Don’t leave.”
His voice was hoarse, yet it held a deadly charm, making it impossible in refuse.
“Tim not leaving”
She replied
But Cassius went still.
As if it had all been a dream
She sighed and adjusted the blanket over him
Casus furrowed his brows, his voice much colder now
“Don’t leavel”
He commanded.
His grip tightened on Gemma’s wrist
The pressure made her wince, a sharp breath escaping her
Cassius suddenly opened his eyes,
But his pupils seemed unfocused, and confusion marked his face,
Compared to his usual cold, calculating demeanor, be seemed unusually vulnerable now.
The pain from the poison had made him break out in a cold sweat, dampening his short hair, adding to his fragile appearance.
Gemma.”
This was truly testing her patience.
“Cassius, Cassiud”
She called his name softly.
But Cassius closed his eyes again.
This time, his breathing was calm–be fell asleep almost instantly.
Gemma, unable to stop herself, glanced at him again. Her gaze slowly fell to his lips,
Gemma,”
She wanted to leave,

She was speechless.

his deep gaze filled with coldness.
If he memory serged him right, he had passed out in the underground city and had been vomiting blood.
The last thing he remembered was falling beside Gemins
What happened after that?
He furrowed his brows and tried to move,
only to realize he was holding onto something.
Turning his head,
he saw Gemma, who was asleep, her head resting against the bed.
Without thinking, he loosened his grips
covering her with the blanket.
Gemma woke up with a start.
She had barely slept, spending the night figuring out how to deal with the poisons.
When she woke, her eyes were unfocuses, and it took a while for her to regain her bearings.
Cassius’s voice came from beside her.
“You saved me?”
Gemma instinctively nodded.
Then, the test moment.
she was jolted awake by his words.
She didn’t know why, but suddenly, she grabbed his hand.
Cassius raised an eyebrow, but his expression quickly returned to its usual calm
Her hand felt soll.
It lingered for a moment before resting on his wrist,
Her fingertips were cool
probably because she hadn’t covered herself with a blanket last right.
Her fair face, bathed in the morning light, made her features look even more defined
Suddenly.
she turned to face him.

Cassius
He paused for a moment,
his ice–cold expression as flawless as ever.
“Are you taking my pulset”
His tone was calm and natural..
Gemma’s eyes brightened, and she nodded.
“It looks like the three acupuncture treatmems last night worked. I didn’t break the balance of the poison, but reduced their toxicity.”
Cassius allowed her to hold his wrist.
“So, you really are my savior.”
Gemma didn’t humble herself this time. “If you want to repay the, let me read The Herbal Compendium for a couple more days.”
Cassius’s aura seemed to grow colder.
“My life n’t worth jusi 85 million.”
Gemina was puzzled for a moment, then realized the night before The Artemis File had been auctioned off
Awkward!
Just then the door to the room was suddenly flung open, and Shawn rushed in
“Cass, I found out everything!”
But before he could finish, he froze, lais eyes widening at the sight of their hands still clasped together.
