Chapter 528 Dying

"Scarlett, my dear daughter," Rosalie murmured softly, delicately raising her hand to caress her daughter\'s cheek. She felt tight in her chest as she gazed into her daughter\'s tear-filled eyes.

At that moment, she ceased to care about a few gentlemen in the car who might overhear their conversation. All that mattered was apologizing to her daughter.

"I\'m sorry for lying to you... I never disclosed the truth about myself and your father. I even faked my death. Scarlett..." Rosalie struggled to continue, her voice catching in her throat.

Scarlett was stunned, hearing that, leaving her at a loss for words. She gazed away from her, attempting to contain her tears.

"I don\'t want you to get involved with my past, my family, or your father. Because your father\'s family is not what you expected," Rosalie continued. "What you see about them on the surface is vastly different from reality. The power struggles in the royal family are too terrifying for you to understand..."

Scarlett smiled knowingly at what her mother wanted to say, understanding her worries. "Mom, I know..."

Rosalie shook her head, a flash of fear passing through her eyes as memories of Allaistar Parker\'s cruelty surfaced. "No, you don\'t. He was evil, he might—"

"Mom, I know about Allaistar Parker..." Scarlett said. "I know who made your life difficult, Mom. I know everything. That\'s why I found you and rescued you... Because I know!"

Rosalie was taken aback that her daughter knew about Allaistar Parker. Her mind buzzed with questions, but the poison in her blood reminded her of the urgency.

"We\'ll discuss it later... But we can\'t go to Royal City right now. I need to go to Paris," Rosalie said. She\'d heard from the guard that Allaistar had vanished in that city. She believed he was still there and she had to find him before the poison killed her. 

Scarlett was surprised to hear her mother wanted to go to Paris. "Why do you want to go to that city?" She couldn\'t help but ask.

Rosalie remained silent for a moment, gazing into Scarlett\'s eyes. A deep concern filled her as she feared her daughter\'s inevitable sorrow upon learning that the poison might soon claim her life. 

Just thinking about the potential sadness that Scarlett would experience weighed heavily on her heart. However, she also knew she couldn\'t conceal this truth from her any longer.

"Scarlett... I\'ve been poisoned. My time is short. I have less than two days. Without the antidote, I won\'t survive," Rosalie\'s voice wavered, noticing her daughter\'s complexion turn pale as she reached out to hold her hand, trying to soften the shock.

"M-Mom... why didn\'t you tell me sooner?" Scarlett\'s voice trembled, shocked to learn about her mother\'s poisoning. She never expected Allaistar would do this. He\'s genuinely evil!

"That\'s why I\'m telling you now. I can\'t fly to the Royal City. I must go to Paris. Allaistar Parker\'s people revealed he was in Paris recently, but he\'s been kidnapped. I have to find him before someone ends his life, as he\'s the only one who knows where I can find the antidote," Rosalie explained urgently.

Scarlett didn\'t respond immediately, turning her gaze toward Nine, seated in the back with Twelve.

"Brother Nine, can you help Mom?" Scarlett asked. If Brother Nine couldn\'t help, she would call Xander to force Allaistar to reveal where he got the antidote.

Nine was about to respond but paused as Rosalie interjected, "Scarlett, this poison is lethal. Even doctors and medical equipment won\'t detect it," conveying her helplessness.

Their only hope was finding Allaistar and striking a deal for the antidote. Because, all this time, the antidote she received had only delayed her death. 

Scarlett turned to Rosalie, "Mom, I understand. That\'s why I ask brother Nine. He\'s an expert in poisons," she said, gently comforting her mother, whose grip on her hand remained firm. She could feel how nervous her mother was now.

Rosalie was surprised when she heard the young man behind her was a poison master. She didn\'t say anything else, just looked back, eager to listen to his response.

"Aunty, if it\'s about poison, I can assist you. Don\'t worry. And we don\'t have to go to Paris, but we should head to the Royal City so I can analyze your blood in my lab," Nine assured, smiling at Rosalie. 

Nine possessed an advanced laboratory at the Fox Headquarters in Royal City. This prompted him to fly there and assess Rosalie\'s condition. Since the poison in Rosalie\'s body was artificial, he was sure he could cure her. He had complete confidence in his abilities.

"Thank you, young man. I\'ll be deeply grateful if you can find an antidote to this poison," replied Rosalie, a smile emerging as she observed the young man\'s confidence.

...

Shortly after, they arrived at the airport.

Another team from Fox emerged, aiding Rosalie in preparing forged documents for her smooth departure to the Royal City.

Meanwhile, Scarlett busied herself with international calls. She contacted Xander, updating him about her success in finding her mother, and requested him to fly back to the Royal City and bring Allaistar Parker to hand over to her brother, Simon.

After finding her mother, Scarlett decides not to involve herself with Allaistar Parker. She intended to let her brother and father decide the appropriate punishment for the evil Allaistar.

Her main concern now is to free her mother from this deadly poison.

Just as Scarlett was about to call Simon, Rosalie Wither appeared in the waiting room. Scarlett asked her to sit together while they waited for the plane to prepare for their Royal City trip.

"Whom did you call?" Rosalie asked as she sat beside Scarlett.

"My brother, Simon Gilwynn... I need to inform him about you," Scarlett explained, glancing at Simon\'s number in her phonebook.

Rosalie suddenly gasped, recalling the poison in Roland\'s body. She grabbed Scarlett\'s hand in a panic, "Scarlett, there\'s something you should know. That evil Allaistar also poisoned your father—"
