Chapter 76 Martin Gates Waking Up
Jacob's expression changed. That was truly disastrous.
Patriarch Riker and Bridget looked at each other with uneasy expressions.
"We're just getting started, haha."
Jake laughed heartily over the phone.
Isabella said helplessly, "Alright, this indeed looks like your style of doing things. I hope that old Carlos Orwell is not too useless. It's best if he can stay alive. After all, I don't want him to die so easily."
"30 million dollars. I just transferred it to your account. Something for you to feed the two babies."
Jake said happily
"I don't lack money to feed them. Why did you transfer the money to me? You're the ones working!"
Isabella rubbed her forehead.
Jake snorted. "Hey, you were the one who asked for 30 million!"
Isabella was speechless. She did not say anything else. The two of them hung up in a good mood.
The corners of Isabella's lips curled up. She looked at her phone and suddenly remembered that Draxton had not called her for a long time. She knew that Draxton was on a mission and might be busy, so she did not disturb him.
Instead, she made a video call to Betty. She missed her daughter.
At Lotus Village's side, Draxton and Betty silently looked at the caller ID on the phone that said "mother". Draxton's face grew darker. "Your mother has been secretly keeping in touch with you?" He gritted his teeth.
The little girl midnight blue's eyes widened. She snorted in a childish voice and ran away with her phone. Betty walked to the side with her phone. Just as she was about to take it, she suddenly hesitated. Her mother did not know that she had picked up that man. She wondered If her mother knew, wouldn't it be equivalent to knowing that her existence had been discovered indeed.
That would mean that her mother would definitely fly back to Lotus Village in a hurry.
At that time, it was hard to say if that man would be able to stay alive. Besides, she wondered what if her mother couldn't beat that man and suffered a beating instead.
Betty figured that she had already grown up, that she had to protect her mother!
Betty's small face looked conflicted for a while. In the end, she did not press the answer button.
Isabella looked at the notification on her phone that no one was picking up and sent a voice message to Betty Betty, little baby, why didn't you answer mommy's call? Are you studying?"
Draxton caught up and happened to hear that sentence. He could not help but snort silently. Ha!
Betty tilted her head and glanced at him. His expression immediately changed to a serious one, indicating that he did not have any thoughts.
Betty pressed the record button and replied to Isabella, "Mom, Betty is busy. Grandpa says that Betty has to study hard these few days to digest all the poison in the body."
She wasn't lying. In fact, that was what Old Greg had told Betty.
Isabella was not surprised She told Betty not to be anxious and to take it slow.
On the other side, Draxton's expression changed. He looked at the little child in front of him and asked anxiously. "Is there poison in your body?"
Seeing that his face had turned pale, Betty looked at him with a look suggesting that he really knew nothing. She did not say anything and ran away with her phone. Draxton stood on the spot for a while. In the end, he was still worried and walked towards Greg's courtyard.

When he arrived, not only was Greg there, but Jocelyn and Mr. Langley were also there as well.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Mr. Langley had also met Draxton in the past two days, but he still made it clear that he didn't like Draxton around Draxton looked at the three of them and nodded slightly. Then, he asked Greg, "Grandmaster, is Betty poisoned?"
"Heh!" Mr. Langley sneered and could not help but said, "None of your business."
Draxton did not dare to talk back to Mr. Langley. In fact, he knew very well that the man was already extremely tolerant for letting him stay in Lotus Village.
The old man turned to look at Draxton and said, "Can't you see that Betty is getting black around her eyes?"
Draxton was stunned. Of course, he noticed it. In fact, he had been thinking about it for the past few days. After all, he and Isabella did not have dark circles under their eyes. Ricky did not have dark circles either, so he was curious as to why Betty did.
Now, it seemed to him that it was because of the poison.
Draxton's heart sank. "Mr. Falkona, can you tell me how Betty was poisoned?"
Greg thought to himself, "How else could she have gotten it? She got naughty and stuffed everything she could into her mouth."
However, it was Jocelyn who answered Jocelyn replied, "It's nothing. It's just that the kid got very curious. When Bella knew that your people were about to locate Lotus Village, she did not want to implicate us and planned to leave with the girl. When Betty found out, she quietly opened her grandpa's box and accidentally took the poison. If not for the fact that they were leaving, Betty would not have been so anxious..."
Draxton's face instantly turned green.
It was actually because of him.
Mr. Langley and Old Greg silently glanced at Jocelyn. They thought that she was indeed brutal. They then made it a point to never cross that vengeful and petty woman called Jocelyn Grey. Draxton turned around and walked out with an ugly expression.
Greg and the other two looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes. In fact, it wasn't just Jocelyn. The other two were also vengeful and petty!
They had seen with their own eyes how hard it had been for Bella all those years.
Draxton found Betty and saw the little girl soaking in a bathtub. Her eyes were closed and she was very quiet.
The usually lively child was then so quiet that she did not look like a child at all.
Draxton did not dare to disturb her. He stood silently at the side and looked at her quietly.
Greg walked in with a bowl of black medicine. Draxton glanced at it and saw that there were poisonous snakes in the medicine.
His expression changed immediately.
Greg narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Never seen it before, right? The bathtub Betty soaked in was filled with poison This is the so-called fighting poison with poison. But well... It really hurts." Draxton's face was ashen. "Is there no other way?"
"This is the best way to do it," Greg said. Then, under Draxton's shocked gaze, he poured the bowl of poison. into the bathtub
A sly look flashed across Greg's eyes.
It felt great!
Draxton stared at the bucket of medicine that Betty was soaking in.
At this moment, Silas, who could already get out of bed and move freely, walked over and said, "Sir, Martin is awake. He wants to see you"
Draxton heard him. He took a ponderous look at Betty and turned to go into Martin's room.
As soon as he went out, Betty, who was in the bathtub, opened her eyes. Her midnight blue eyelids rolled around as she asked softly, "Grandpa, did it scare him?"

Greg smiled and nodded. "Yes, he sure was scared. His face turned pale."
"Hmph, coward!" Betty rolled her eyes.
Greg smiled and said, "Good Betty, take your time in there. After this session, you should be able to completely digest the remaining poison in your body." Betty was also very happy. She closed her eyes in anticipation.
Martin woke up and listened to Executive Department and Department of War telling him what had happened in Lotus Village during that period of time.
He never expected that the people who saved him were actually Isabella's master, a real member of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors.
Also, the person who gave them the antidote was actually a four-year-old child, who was also Isabella's daughter.
It turned out that Isabella actually gave birth to twins.
He felt extremely guilty, thinking back on how he treated Isabella back then.
But now, it was Isabella's child who had saved him.
Martin closed his eyes and hid the regret and pain. In the end, all that regret and pain turned into determination.
He made a decision.
