I’m Someone Else

Chapter 121

“His name is Thomas Clifford. He’s a friend of mine. Please help us, Rose. He’s very important to me. I can’t let him die…”

“Who did you say it was? Thomas Clifford?” Rose was stunned. Was it just someone with the same name?

“Is the Thomas Clifford you’re referring to a rather tall and skinny man who doesn’t talk much?”

Olivia nodded. “That’s right. He doesn’t like to smile either and acts a bit cool.”

“That can’t be!” Rose’s jaw dropped. The guy Olivia is talking about is the one I know! Thomas is an extremely capable man, so how did he get poisoned? Is he acquainted with Olivia? Then, she ran over to Timothy and asked, “Where’s the Myria Herbal Pill, Dad? Do we still have it?”

Time was of the essence so she didn’t waste it. She didn’t even bother greeting the other men.

Raymond and Timothy exchanged glances in confusion. What’s going on with Rose? She came running to us for the pill after exchanging a few sentences with Olivia, but she knows what we need the pill for!

“We still have it, of course.” Timothy eyed Rose. She’s usually so calm and dependable. What’s going on with her today? Why is she so flustered?

“Quick! Give it to me now! I need to save Thomas!”

“Thomas?”

Timothy thought his mind was playing tricks on him. Save Thomas? Could it be that Thomas Clifford’s the one who has been poisoned?

Quincy and John were startled by Rose’s agitation too. Why is she trying so hard to save Thomas? Do they know each other?

Unbeknownst to the crowd at Elliott Residence, at this moment, Thomas had woken up and was getting rid of the poison himself!

“Thom—”

“Quiet! Don’t disturb him!” Sean hissed at William.

William took a deep breath and checked the time. Thomas had been awake for half an hour now. As soon as he did, he commanded William to bring him some acupuncture needles, and once William did as told, he began to perform acupuncture on himself as he applied pressure to his acupuncture points, and he wasn’t speaking at all!

Naturally, William figured out that Thomas was dealing with the poison himself. Don’t they say that doctors can’t heal themselves? Can Thomas really save himself?

Sean’s brows were tightly furrowed as he kept his eyes fixed on Thomas. He was worried too, but now that things had come to this, he knew full well that he had no choice but to have faith in Thomas.

Have faith in Thomas. He can do it! Sean kept repeating to himself in consolation.

Just then, Thomas opened his mouth and blood gushed out at once. The white hospital linen was immediately dyed black!

Indeed, it turned black because Thomas spat out the poisoned blood in his system. Thank goodness I have the Blood of the Blazing Sun, or otherwise, I would’ve fallen at your hands!

Quincy had been panicking so hard that he forgot about Thomas’ Blood of the Blazing Sun. It was something that could save anyone who still had a hint of breath left in them, let alone a bit of poison!

“Thomas!”

Sean and William didn’t know what was happening, so they immediately rushed over. Why did he cough up blood? That’s no laughing matter! Did his condition worsen?

“Don’t come nearer! Don’t touch the blood! It’s toxic!” Thomas quickly stopped them.

What he spat out was poisoned blood, and it took an extremely strong poison to render him unconscious. The two men would most likely get poisoned too if they touched the blood, and that would make things a lot more dire!

“Oh…” Sean and William came to a grinding halt. They asked the nurse for a few disposable gloves. William even got a wet rag to start cleaning up the place.

“How do you feel, Thomas? Do you feel any discomfort? I’ll arrange for our private plane to send you to the best hospital in Capitalis for a check-up!” Sean declared with an anxious expression. Even Quincy couldn’t do anything, so there was no one else they could seek help from in Irieson.

William carefully wiped Thomas down with a look of concern too.

Thomas was touched by them. What made someone a friend? It wasn’t their ability to share in a person’s joys, but their willingness to lend a hand in the darkest hour!

Then again, how did they know I’m in the hospital? Did Olivia tell them? That can’t be right. Olivia doesn’t have any dealings with these two. Even though they met during Old Mr. Morton’s birthday celebration, they didn’t exchange their numbers. Olivia couldn’t be the one who told them. Which reminds me. Where’s Olivia?

When Thomas first woke up, he had been too busy focusing on getting rid of the poison that he didn’t pay attention to anything else. It only just occurred to him that Olivia was missing.

“Where’s Olivia?” Thomas asked urgently.

“She, our grandfathers, and Dr. Hofstead all went to see the Elliotts in search of the Myria Herbal Pill.”

Sean poured Thomas a glass of water and explained, “You were unconscious the whole time and we didn’t know what type of poison it was, so they had no choice but to seek the Elliotts’ help.”

Thomas took out a cigarette and put it between his lips.

“Don’t smoke now, Thomas,” William advised. “You only just got better. It’s bad for your health.”

Thomas shook his head helplessly. Oh, fine. I won’t. Will just wants what’s best for me.

“By the way, Thomas, who did it?” Sean’s eyes flashed dangerously. “Who’s the f*cker that had the nerve to lay a hand on you? I’ll make them die a painful death!”

“That’s right, Thomas. I’m sure you know who did it, right?” William wanted the answer too. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I can handle it myself. You guys stay out of it.”

In all honesty, Thomas was feeling a little embarrassed. He nearly lost his life, but he didn’t know who was behind it. However, he had a handful of suspects. It’s either the Hinds or that Leslie Yam guy.

There was no need to describe the grudge between Thomas and the Hinds in further detail, and neither was there much to say about Leslie. I didn’t even offend him, but he sent people to assassinate me anyway.

Sean and William exchanged glances. They couldn’t do anything if Thomas refused to tell them. Nevertheless, if he ever asked for their help, they would stand by him without any hesitation.

“Oh, right. I should call Grandpa and tell him that they can come back.” William got out his phone and called Samuel.

However, before the call even connected, the door to the hospital room flew open.

Quincy, John, Samuel, Raymond, Timothy, Rose, and a puffy-eyed Olivia barged into the ward.

They froze in shock when they saw Thomas sitting up in bed.

“You’re awake?”

How did he wake up? I thought he only had less than three hours left to live!

“Thomas!”

Olivia threw herself at Thomas and buried her head against his chest. Throughout the ride back to the hospital, she had been haunted by the possibility that she wouldn’t find Thomas in the room, but rather, he would be a cold and lifeless body instead.
