Remorse After Breaking Up



Indeed, it was just as Sebastian had predicted. When Merlin and Nelson discovered that Sebastian was missing, Elena used the excuse that Sebastian had fabricated. Just like that, they didn't question it further.

These days, the two were so engrossed in researching the Seraphic Tear Pendant and the amulets that everything else seemed unimportant.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Sebastian woke up at dawn. Today was the last day Elena had given him, and he planned to find an opportunity to escape. Although the island wasn't very large, it still covered tens of thousands of acres. If he could just get out of the valley and find a place to hide, it shouldn't be too difficult

Sebastian had a plan in mind get Elena to help him. For the sake of learning the secret, she'd surely agree. The challenge was how to shake her off once they were out of the valley.

From what he knew of her, she was ruthless. Once Elena knew the secret, she'd kill him. Besides, Sebastian didn't actually know any secrets. If he didn't tell her anything, she might not kill him immediately but would certainly beat him half to death.

So, he thought of a risky solution-drugging her. Although the herbs Elena provided couldn't make poison, they could be used to make aphrodisiacs. If the purity was high enough, even a grandmaster like Elena wouldn't be able to resist. Once the effects kicked in, she'd be weak and desperate.

Elena arrived earlier than Sebastian had expected. By then, he was already sipping mushroom soup. Besides the mushroom soup, there was also a fragrant medicinal soup. All these were prepared by Emily under Elena's instructions.

Elena sent Emily out and impatiently said to Sebastian, "Three days are up. Now, tell me." "Don't worry. I'll tell you today for sure. Here, have some soup," Sebastian replied.

"I'm not interested in your soup. Tell me now or don't blame me for what's about to come." Elena's expression turned harsh.

"Don't be mad. Anger causes wrinkles. This mushroom soup is delicious. The medicinal soup is nourishing and beautifying. Just try it. I'll tell you after you drink it," Sebastian said with a smile.

Elena immediately grew suspicious. Her intuition told her that the soup was dangerous. Meanwhile, Sebastian felt nervous but remained calm on the surface. He took a sip and said, "These were prepared by your people, and this is your territory. Even if I wanted to poison you, I wouldn't have the means."

Elena thought about it and agreed, but she remained cautious. She made Sebastian drink some of the soup first, which reassured her. The mushroom soup was indeed delicious, and she couldn't resist drinking it all.

Just then, Sebastian offered her the bowl of medicinal soup. The mushroom soup and medicinal soup had to be taken together for the effect to work.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

To allay her suspicions, he drank a small sip himself. He didn't dare drink too much. The medicinal soup was the drug and the mushroom soup was the catalyst. Drinking more of the catalyst was fine, but too much of the drug would be disastrous.

Seeing that Sebastian had only taken a small sip, Elena commanded, "Drink more!"

Sebastian inwardly cursed. This wasn't going as planned. His current physical condition couldn't handle more than a small sip. Drinking more would be inviting trouble.
