Chapter 314<\/p>\n
Morris heard this for the first time, and a flash of displeasure crossed his face.<\/p>\n
Hannia was momentarily shocked, her expression dazed. She never thought her family would use poison to control her.<\/p>\n
Once she understood what that meant, Ilannia quickly said, \u201cMs Leach, I need to leave. I might do something crazy if I stay.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, she tried to pull away from Cherise and leave.<\/p>\n
But Cherise held on tightly, not letting her go.<\/p>\n
Even though Cherise knew this was a private family issue, she really wanted to understand what this poison was all about.<\/p>\n
Morris moved to her side. \u201cCherise, this isn\u2019t worth the risk; we need to be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded, signaling him to trust her. \u201cLet me try this. While my current skills might not get rid of the poison completely, I might be able to stop it from taking over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since she got the snake\u2013shaped weapon from Camellia, from which she had taken out two tiny poisonous worms, Cherise had been reading lots of books on poison.<\/p>\n
One of those was an old manuscript given to her by Marlon, talking about what court doctors dealt with poison a hundred years ago.<\/p>\n
The book didn\u2019t explain how to get rid of the embedded creatures but did offer tips on how to control them.<\/p>\n
Written in old\u2013fashioned writing, it wasn\u2019t easy for most people to read, but she felt the need to try, knowing she might need this knowledge someday.<\/p>\n
Hannia exclaimed, \u201cThere is no hope unless a really powerful specialist helps me. I don\u2019t think any exist now. Still, if you want to give it a try, go ahead; I\u2019m already lost and homeless. Feel free to do whatever you want!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise asked Morris to get a needle and a vial of the strange liquid she used before to eliminate the worms.<\/p>\n
The readings said that the best time to control the poison was in the first hours after it entered the body. Since Hannia had just left the Hawkins family, Cherise believed they were still in that crucial window. From her acupuncture kit, she picked out the four thinnest needles and dipped them in the vial. Remembering what she read, she carefully inserted the needles into four key points around where the poison was located.<\/p>\n
Morris watched, his mind racing with plans.<\/p>\n
Hannia felt only a slight sting from the needles; she was mostly anxious, realizing she might never go back to that house again.<\/p>\n
Cherise stayed calm, watching carefully as the process continued.<\/p>\n
After a moment, her eyes lit up with excitement.<\/p>\n
Morris noticed her lips curve into a little smile, showing that things were going well.<\/p>\n
In fact, the worms trapped by the needles were starting to struggle.<\/p>\n
Hannia shifted her shoulders and said, \u201cI feel kind of itchy; I wish I had something to scratch with!\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 314<\/p>\n
\u201cJust two more minules Cherise said.<\/p>\n
Hannia held back the urge to scratch and replied, \u201cOh! Okay,\u201d<\/p>\n
90%8<\/p>\n
Morris handed Cherise a glass of lemonade, which she sipped slowly while focusing on the spot where the worms were<\/p>\n
When the two minutes were up, Hannia said, \u201cMs. Leach, I don\u2019t feel itchy anymore; it\u2019s like I can\u2019t feel anything at all\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise checked the area and saw that the dark worms were turning a light lavender color.<\/p>\n
This confirmed what she learned from her readings\u2013that she was succeeding.<\/p>\n
She carefully pulled out the four needles and said, \u201cFor now, the insects are under your control; no one can manipulate you anymore. But I haven\u2019t figured out how to totally get rid of them yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour daily life won\u2019t be affected for now, but your future depends on how things go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannia felt a huge wave of relief; she hadn\u2019t expected Cherise to control the poison, and a deep respect grew inside her.<\/p>\n
She wanted to hug Cherise but stopped when she saw Morris glaring at her.<\/p>\n
Morris stood beside Cherise and said, \u201cI tend to speak plainly, and I hope, Ms. Hawkins, that you won\u2019t bring family problems to my girlfriend in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour family issues aren\u2019t something just anyone can handle. Mr. Graves is waiting for you outside; he will keep you safe!\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris\u2019s words were true, and Cherise nodded along. \u201cGo now; everything is fine for now. Stay close to Nolan and don\u2019t wander off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannia looked gratefully at Cherise, realizing she shouldn\u2019t trouble her any more, but before coming here, she had felt completely lost. Still, a voice in her head urged her to find Cherise.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cThank you, Ms. Leach.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then she turned and left.<\/p>\n
As Cherise watched her go, she reached for her computer, ready to press the power button when Morris stopped her by grabbing her hand. \u201cCherise, I know what you\u2019re thinking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve made sure her location is hidden. Sometimes, we don\u2019t need to be so kind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing Morris\u2019s words, Cherise smiled softly; she wasn\u2019t usually someone who got involved. \u201cI just felt a little sorry for her situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris understood well; carrying the weight of a troubled past was \u00e0 heavy burden.<\/p>\n
