Byron finally let go after Rosalie swallowed every drop of the antidote.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief as well.
Rosalie's pain seemed to have eased after taking the antidote, but her brows were still slightly furrowed.
Mary's tone became much more relaxed. "The antidote has worked."
With that said, she looked up at the experts who were standing on the other side. "Thank you for your hard work. Get some rest, everyone. I’ll be here."
The experts were indeed physically spent over the past few days. Upon Mary’s announcement, they nodded at her and turned to leave.
There were only three of them left in the ward.
The earlier situation was chaotic. So, Chloe stood at the door, never daring to enter.
Now that Rosalie's condition had stabilized and everyone had left, she slowly stepped forward, stood still by the bed, and looked curiously at the person on the bed.
The woman on the bed had a delicate face. Even though she was pale and, in a coma, her features were easy on the eyes, serene like a spring breeze.
Chloe, who had just met Rosalie for the first time, felt distressed as she witnessed what happened to her earlier.
Chloe was even more shocked to see Byron mouth-feed the antidote to her medicine disregarding his safety.
Byron could deeply love someone to such an extent.
At that time, she fully understood why Wendy Fuller failed to obtain Byron’s heart after waiting for six years.
In the face of such deep love, even she had no chance at all.
Chloe looked at Rosalie, who was still unconscious, and then at Byron who could not hide his anxiety. She felt a sense of closure.
Initially, her family, the Lincolns, had also planned to ally with the Lawrence family through marriage.
However, she had dispelled all those thoughts now.
She turned to look at Byron but caught sight of the corner of a red document peeking out of Chloe's bag.
"What is this...?" Her heart tightened, and her eyes fixated on Chloe's bag.
Chloe followed her gaze. When she saw the corner of the marriage certificate, she felt both annoyed with herself and apologetic toward Mary.
She glanced at Byron for his consent.
When Byron nodded, she took out the marriage certificate and explained it to Mary. "This is..."
Mary interrupted her in disbelief. "Marriage certificate?"
She looked at the person in front of her and then at Byron. "Did you both...get married?"
Then, she muttered to herself bitterly. "No wonder. No wonder Xander handed over the antidote..."
