Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 589

She checked Benson’s pulse again, her face paling. She had anticipated the venom would be complex, but she hadn’t imagined it would be completely beyond her expertise. She had no idea where to even begin.

Then, a horrifying realization hit her—she had forgotten the most crucial detail.

She was the reason Benson was unconscious in the first place. She had done it to stop him from exposing her lies.

So even if she miraculously found a cure, she couldn't let him wake up.

Outside the room, the family waited anxiously. “Will Lauren really be able to help?” the old Mrs. Brennan fretted, her gaze fixed on the closed door.

“Don’t worry, Mother,” Winni said, squeezing her hand reassuringly. “If Lauren says she can save him, then Benson will be fine.” Her trust in Lauren was absolute.

After what felt like an eternity, the door finally opened.

“Lauren!”

The Brennans rose to their feet. Anastasia, who had been texting Harrison, looked up.

Under their expectant stares, Lauren managed a pained, weary smile. “I’m so sorry, Grandfather, Grandma, Uncle Murray, Winni… I’ve failed you.”

The hope on Winni’s face shattered. “Lauren, what are you saying?”

“It’s all my fault,” Lauren lamented. “When I heard Benson was poisoned back then, I only sent the medicine. I should have gone to check on him myself. I didn’t realize how deadly the remaining toxins were… The original antidote won’t work anymore. I… I don’t know what to do.”

Her words struck the Brennans like a bolt of lightning. Mrs. Brennan and Winni swayed, nearly fainting.

“Grandma!”

“Mom!”

The others rushed to support them.

The rest of the family turned to her, a dawning realization in their eyes. “Ana, can you save Benson?”

While the others were still processing, Juliet, ever Anastasia’s staunchest supporter, was the first to understand. Her eyes lit up.

“I knew it! You were the one who saved my brother back then! Weren’t you, Anastasia?!”

“Yes,” Anastasia confirmed. “When I heard Benson had been bitten, I spent two days and nights searching for an antidote. I found the herbs and had someone deliver them.”

She fixed her gaze on Lauren, her expression dripping with contempt. “What I’d like to know, Lauren, is how my formula and my medicine suddenly became yours.”

In that moment, all eyes in the hallway turned to Lauren.
