Rosemary looked grievously hurt, her body weak and fragile.
"Rose's been poisoned. Her antidote is upstairs—I need to take her now and I'll fill you in later," Romeo said urgently, scooping the girl into his arms and rushing up the stairs to lay her on the bed in her
spacious bedroom.
Rosemary's room was large, complete with a walk-in closet and various sections for different uses.
One area featured a wall of cabinets where she stored an assortment of medicines.
"Start from the left, first shelf, third compartment. There's a small clear bottle with white pills. Crush half of one into some water," Rosemary instructed weakly.
Romeo swiftly did as told.
"Now, first shelf, seventh compartment on the bottom left, there's a white bottle with light green capsules. Take two out and mix the powder into the water."
He followed her instructions to the letter.
