Chapter 377: Pills

When Mr. Hayes entered the room, Lauren came face to face with him.

“Mr. Hayes, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale lately?”

Mr. Hayes shook his head slightly. “Oh, maybe it’s because of Lent. Miss Torres, don’t worry about me. I just need to rest for a while.”

“Mr. Hayes, how many times have I told you? Just let someone else do the job. Don’t worry about it,” said Franklin.

“It’s fine. I’m in charge of these things every year. I don’t feel comfortable handing them over to someone else. Master Franklin and Miss Torres, please go. The old madam won’t be happy if you’re late.”

“I’ll have to trouble you then, Mr. Hayes,” said Franklin with a nod.

Then, they went out to continue the ceremony.

The monk in front of them was mumbling something, and a long table was filled with all kinds of vegetarian food. Mr. Hayes was the one who ordered and cooked all the food.

Although they were all vegetarian food, they looked, smelled, and tasted good.

This was a great temptation for Lauren, who had not eaten breakfast yet.

Just as Lauren was kneeling and bowing, wondering when she would be able to have breakfast, Mr. Hayes’ shout suddenly came from the room where Maria was resting.

“Someone come quickly! Mrs. Torres has fainted!”

Sean was the first to react and immediately ran over.

Franklin, Quinn, and a few others followed closely behind. Lauren did not fall behind either.

When she arrived in the next room, Maria was lying on the sofa, her lips were white and her chest was heaving heavily.

Sean was about to go up and pick Maria up when Lauren shouted, “Don’t move yet! Lie Mom flat first.”

At the moment when everyone was nervous, Lauren’s tone was so calm that it made everyone obey what she said.

Sean listened to Lauren’s instruction and lay Maria flat on the sofa.

Franklin was urgently contacting the nearest hospital.

Maria had not completely fainted and she was still slightly conscious.

Bryce and Quinn fanned their mom so that there was better air circulation.

“Mom, what are you doing? Just lie down. The ambulance will be here soon.”

Maria looked like she was about to faint, but her hands kept moving as if she was looking for something.

“Medicine..medicine,” Maria said in a low voice.

“What do you want?” Maria asked in a very low voice. Sean could only hear what Maria was saying by placing his ear next to Maria’s mouth.

“Medicine..”

“Is there something in Mom’s pocket? I saw her hand reaching there.”

Sean reached into the pocket of Maria’s jacket and took out a small box.

He raised his head to look at everyone and opened the box. Inside was the pill that Lauren had given to Maria at that time.

When she saw the pill, Lauren was surprised for a moment. She did not expect that Maria would really carry the pill with her.

To be honest, she had forgotten about the existence of this pill at that critical moment just now.

Yes, this was a pill that could bring the dead back to life!

“Maria, what..what is this thing?”

Sean looked at the pill that seemed to be glowing. He was confused and a little afraid.

The monks behind him were also whispering to each other.

Tina was standing next to Bryce at that moment. Although she was still expressionless, the movement of the bead chain in her hand showed that she was also very nervous.

Maria did not have the strength to answer Sean’s question. Instead, she reached out for the pill, as if she was about to pick it up.

“You can’t take it. Where did this medicine come from? Why don’t I know about It?”

“Dad, you’ve never seen this medicine before? Then why is it with Mom?” Franklin asked with a frown. “The medicine mom took went through your hands. How did she get the medicine that you’ve never seen before?”

Holding the pill in one hand, Sean looked at Maria’s pale lips and face. A man in his fifties who had once dominated the commercial world was at a loss at this moment.

Maria was still reaching out for the pill.

“I gave it to her!” Lauren’s crisp voice suddenly rang out. “If you don’t want anything to happen to Mom, let her take this pill.”

Sean was not the only one who was shocked this time, Franklin and his brothers were shocked as well.

Then, Tina reprimanded before Franklin and his brothers could speak. “Nonsense! Do you think you can just casually use this pill?”.
