Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 686

**TITLE: The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 686**
**CONTENT: Chapter 686 Treating Natalie**

Lilian’s lips curled into a derisive smile, her voice dripping with disdain. “What’s the matter? You mean to tell me your daughter isn’t worth three hundred million? Just three years ago, my fee was a mere fifty million. Time has passed, the world has changed, and so has my value. I assure you, I am the only one capable of curing your daughter at this moment. The decision to treat her rests entirely in your hands.” Turning to Jill, she added with a dismissive wave, “Let’s not linger here. We’ll head back now.”

Jill’s gaze flickered anxiously towards the still form of Natalie lying on the bed. “But Natalie is in this state! Maybe…”

Lilian shot Jill a sharp glare, her impatience boiling over. “Her own father shows no sign of worry, so why are you in such a rush? It’s the emperor who remains calm while the eunuch frets. My fee is not just reasonable; it is fair. The choice to save his daughter is his alone. If something unfortunate were to happen to Natalie, it would simply be her misfortune to have a father like him. Now, let’s go. They tried to have us thrown out when we arrived. We’ve already wasted half the day here. Are we just waiting for another eviction?” With that, she tugged at Jill, pulling her away from the scene.

Theo, watching Lilian prepare to leave, felt a surge of desperation. He clenched his fists, his heart racing as he called out, “Wait! I’ll pay! I’ll pay whatever it takes! Just save my daughter!”

Lilian halted, her eyebrow arching in surprise, a smirk playing on her lips. “Oh, how touching! I didn’t know you had such a soft spot for your daughter. Since you’re willing to part with the consultation fee, I’ll go ahead and treat Natalie. After all, no one is obliged to pay for the consequences of your own failures.”

A wave of shame washed over Theo, his head drooping as he admitted, “Yes, my mistakes are mine to face. I’ll cover the cost.”

Without wasting a moment, Jill urged Lilian toward the bed, her eyes filled with hope and fear.

Lilian approached Natalie, inhaling deeply to steady her emotions. She gently pulled back the blanket, revealing the frail figure beneath. Even in her pajamas, it was painfully clear how emaciated Natalie had become.

Theo’s heart shattered at the sight, tears welling in his eyes. He turned away, unable to bear the reality of his daughter’s suffering.

Lilian cast a cold glance at Theo, her tone clinical. “She has been subjected to chronic poisoning for three long months. Her body is saturated with toxins. Do you think this wouldn’t hurt? She must endure a level of suffering that would break most people, all to rid her system of the poison.”

Theo stood frozen, his mind racing, unable to articulate the weight of her words.

The onlookers held their breath as they watched the silver needles transform, shifting from gleaming silver to an ominous black, then to a deep crimson, before finally returning to their original hue. It was only when Natalie coughed up a mouthful of black blood that her expression began to soften, her brow unfurling from its tight grip of pain. Lilian removed the needles with a practiced ease.

Theo, noticing the faint improvement in his daughter’s complexion, leaned forward, hope igniting in his chest. “Is that it? Is she cured now?”

Lilian straightened, her eyes assessing Natalie with a mix of relief and caution. “The majority of the toxins have been extracted. The residual poison can be dealt with through medication later. However, her body is in a severely compromised state and requires careful recuperation. We cannot afford any negligence. Otherwise, not even the most divine intervention could save her.”
