Chapter 433 Slumber or Shatter?
Marcus finished speaking, clutching his sword tightly as he leaped from the ceiling.
His dramatic entrance startled the doctors, who instinctively prepared to spring into action. They were seconds away from grabbing stretchers and respirators, with some even bracing themselves to perform CPR.
Yet, to their shock, Marcus landed completely unharmed. Meanwhile, Cameron lay motionless beside him, blood trickling from his mouth.
With only a glance, Marcus discerned the truth-Cameron had been forcibly stripped of his five senses. Although unable to move or see, he was painfully aware of everything happening around him.
In other words, every revelation about Suzanna's actions reached Cameron, who was the one most affected.
Meanwhile, Suzanna, the mastermind behind it all, remained oblivious.
It was bound to get dramatic.
Marcus sneered as he approached Suzanna, delicately picking up the 'Slumber Incense' she had crafted. His tone was layered with mockery and a hint of complexity.
"Suzanna, this is your work, isn't it? Tell me, would you dare to use it yourself?
"Not many people are aware, but 'Slumber Incense' is a closely guarded secret of the Ironspire Sect. It improves blood circulation during sleep, promoting deep relaxation, cell regeneration, and neuron repair. "The secret formula for the Ironspire Sect's incense has always been a closely guarded legacy, known only to its disciples. How could someone like you, an outsider, have come into possession of it?
"The 'Slumber Incense' you've created has turned into something far more dangerous-a deadly 'Shatter Incense.' This harmful incense can damage a person's nervous system, speed up aging, and even harm a man's vital functions. Are you seriously using this on your brother?"
Marcus' accusation left Suzanna frozen, while Sean, who had just been defending her, turned pale as fear gripped him.
"W-what? Are you saying my son is in danger? Suzie, have you ever used this incense on Cam?" Sean's distress was undeniable-that wasn't a matter to take lightly.
Though Cameron had been confined to a wheelchair for years after his accident, only his legs were affected. The rest of his body had remained fully functional.
But now, there was a looming threat of total paralysis. Even worse, his manhood-something a man deeply valued-was also at risk.
If he were in Cameron's position, Sean knew he wouldn't be able to endure such a devastating blow. What made it worse was the realization that the person Cameron trusted most, his sister Suzanna, was at the center of the crisis.
Suzanna, equally shaken, turned pale. She had never imagined that the formula her grandfather had entrusted to her could lead to such disastrous consequences.noveldrama
Although the materials for the incense were technically correct, she had only ever smelled it herself. Controlling its dosage with precision was beyond her expertise.
It had never crossed her mind that failing to regulate the quantity of the 'Slumber Incense' could lead to such a catastrophic mistake.
The line between medicine and poison was razor-thin, often determined by the tiniest measure.
She finally realized aromatherapy was far more complex than it seemed.
But why was Melody, her sibling, able to craft intricate medical incense blends so effortlessly? Suzanna's pride took a hit. It stung to admit that Melody was more skilled and intelligent than her. "Dad..."
Suzanna hesitated, her voice barely a whisper. She hadn't dared to test the incense on Cameron. However, admitted it could play into Melody's hands.
If she denied it, the 'Slumber
Incense' couldn't have been her doing. But if she admitted it, she would be accused of causing her brother to lose his physical abilities.

She was stuck in an impossible situation.
Sean felt utterly shaken. The urge to check on Cameron was
overwhelming-he wanted to pull back his son's clothing to see what had become of the man he once took such pride in.
On the hospital bed, Cameron's body convulsed as another bout of blood escaped his mouth.
The emotional strain was too much for him to bear.
At last, Cameron stirred, his eyelids slowly lifting. He curled up in agony, his mouth falling open as his teeth chattered uncontrollably.
With his teeth clenched tightly, a
muffled groan of pain escaped. His face was contorted with suffering veins standing out on his forehead. His eyes, wide with panic, reflected a desperate battle against the approach of death.
"Suzanna, you've tormented me so much!"
He let out a piercing scream, his voice heavy with anguish, as despair threatened to engulf him. At this point, death seemed like the only escape.
Suzanna stood frozen, stunned by what she was witnessing. She was close enough to see Cameron's bloodshot eyes boring into her with a ferocious intensity.
He resembled a wild wolf on the brink of attack, ready to leap at her and tear her apart without hesitation. Suzanna's knees began to tremble, and fear coursed through her as she struggled to process Cameron's terrifying state.
"Cam! I didn't mean to-I swear I didn't!" she stammered, her face drained of color.
Instinctively, she tried to back away, but Sean was right behind her, his sharp eyes filled with suspicion. Sean, equally enraged, stepped forward, his tone sharp and accusatory. "Suzanna, what did you do? Did you ruin Cam's ability to be a man?
"Answer me! That incense you gave him for months-was it dangerous enough to cause this?" Suzanna found herself trapped, unable to escape. The intense pressure from her family was unlike anything she had ever faced before.
With no way out, she collapsed to the ground, clutching her head in despair as tears poured from her eyes. "I... I didn't.
"I did take Mel's Slumber Incense. Mel is the one who healed Cam's legs.
"Cam, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I got too caught up in our sibling bond. I just wanted you to care about me.'
Her confession left everyone in shock, and they saw her as ruthless for the first time.
