Chapter 181 What did Gilbert mean? After the shock, Eliza came up with one idea. Eyes wide, she asked, “You haven’t taken the antidote for a long time, have you?” Gilbert said through his gritted teeth. “Yes, quite a long time. The last time he and his companions had taken the antidote was three years ago. In other words, they had pulled through the last three attacks of that poison with nothing but their willpower. Gilbert once had more than three hundred companions, but less than two hundred survived those trials, Later, most of the survivors were killed in the attempted assassination of Eliza in Plutonville. With Gilbert included, only a few dozen were still alive, and they might soon die for Sophie as their companions had “Why didn’t you just kill her?” Eliza asked curiously. Gilbert shot one glance at Eliza and said, “As Holy Lady and a nun, why do you keep talking about killings?” “Just answer me. Speaking. Eliza glared at Gilbert. “Fine” Gilbert leaned his head back against the pillar. We wanted to, but her mother on the deathbed said that the formula of the antidote had been passed on to her. We had no choice but to provide for her till she was willing to make the real antidote for us. The real antidote? The one that can completely cure you?” Eliza asked. Gilbert responded, “Yes” “You bought the story and raised Sophie, didn’t you?” Eliza looked at Gilbert as she did the fool. She had a feeling that he and his companions had been fooled. Sophie wouldn’t make the real antidote even if her mother didn’t lie to Gilbert and his companions. She couldn’t get them under control once they got the real antidote. She might get killed by them after she set them free. To make things worse, they might torment her and even dig her mother’s grave to vent their anger. “Why do you give me that look? Do you want me to talk on or not? Gilbert felt offended by Eliza’s look. “Of course. Go on, Eliza responded. She would like to fish for more information when possible. “We all know that Sophie’s mother might lie. The point is none of us will give up the chance of staying alive, Gilbert said. He and his companions had survived those miseries with strong willpower, so how could they give up at the last stage? Hearing Gilbert, Eliza fell silent. “You are right,” she said. “Without the pendant, I would be a skeleton now,” she thought. Therefore, how could she laugh at Gilbert and his companions? Gilbert glanced at Eliza with confusion because he didn’t understand the abrupt change in her attitude. “Do you know where Sophie hides the formula of the real antidote?” Eliza asked. Gilbert shook his head and replied, “No, I don’t If he did, he and his companions would have regained their freedom a long time ago. They wouldn’t have waited for Sophie to grow up. Eliza nodded. After a pause, she asked, “You must have killed many people for Sophie’s mother. Have you heard of Caroline Powell?” “Of course,” Gilbert sneered: “Sophie’s mother hated her guts. She is your mother, isn’t she?” Chapter 181 Instantly, Eliza’s gespils comtricted line pickly collected herself and then questioned Gilbert “Was Sophie’s mother involved in her death She had through that the death of her mother resulted from her birth Thanks to her parvin death, the learned more about Sophie and the true relationship between Sophie and Gabriel, so the couldn’t help an unpert that there might be a cover–up about Caroline’s death Thinking she had resentment and anger on her face, and Gilbert didn’t miss her true feelings. After a moment, Gilbert said, “Maybe Back then, Sophie’s mother had many helpers, and most of them already died” Eliza’s eyes fell on Gilbert’s face “What do you know?” Gilbert responded, “Nothing but I can help you find the truth Instantly, Eliza narrowed her eyes and asked, “What do you want from me?” A faint smile appeared as Gilbert answered. “7 need you to get the formula from Sophie, make the antidote, and cure me” He added, “Don’t you have Sophie in your possession! Interrogate her, torment her, and do whatever you want since nobody will know that I need the antidote. I don’t want to die “As for the truth of your mother’s death, I can help you with the investigation. Only I can help you” Gilbert gave a sly smile. “Nobody knows Sophie and her mother better than I do. Only I can find out the truth you want.” Eliza stared at Gilbert coldly, and he stared straight at her. “Deal?” Gilbert asked. It took Eliza quite a moment to say, “Deal” Gilbert’s eyes lit up, but Eliza soon added, “But on one condition.” Gilbert responded, “What is it?” Eliza pointed at the centipede in the wooden bucket and then said with a faint smile. “Leave it to me. If you have poisonous things like it, bring them to me. 田 -ant
