"I asked, are you … hungry?" Huo Mien repeated.
"Oh … I'm okay." John didn't know how to answer Huo Mien's question.
"But I'm hungry. Can you take me to a place to eat first?"
"Okay. Should we go to a Chinese restaurant?" John asked.
"No. I don't want to be too eye-catching. Let's find a fast food restaurant and have hamburgers."
"Okay."
John and Huo Mien left the restaurant together. After a long drive, they found a fast food restaurant and sat down.
"You go and order. I want hamburgers, Coke, and fried chicken. You can order whatever you want."
Huo Mien took out a big dollar bill and handed it to John.
"Here's the rest of the money. You can take the car back later."
"Miss Huo, about the antidote …"
"Don't worry. I'll give it to you after dinner."
"Okay."
John took the money Huo Mien gave him and stood up to line up for food. Maybe it was because John was a foreigner.
Huo Mien's appearance didn't attract much attention in the restaurant. People only glanced at him occasionally when they saw his Asian face.
While John was standing in line to buy food, Huo Mien carefully took out a small glass bottle from his sleeve.
Then, he took some mineral water from the fast food restaurant and diluted the water in the small bottle. The big bottle was colorless and odorless.
John wasn't far away. He turned around and saw Huo Mian mixing the antidote, and he felt a lot more relieved.
Huo Mien knew John was watching, so he smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
In fact, the small glass bottle was also filled with water. She diluted it on purpose for John to see. John would definitely think it was the antidote.
Those who were poisoned by the Soul-Eating Grass didn't suffer much. As long as they drank more water, they would be fine in about a week.
But Huo Mien wouldn't tell them this. They would never be able to guess Huo Mien's style of doing things.
She was similar to Lu Yan in that she had to try regardless of whether she was confident or not.
Coupled with their fearless and calm faces, most people would choose to believe them.
Lu Yan could even fool Ian. She had to admit that she had a strong mentality.
John came back with his shopping and put the tray on the table.
Huo Mien ate and drank the hamburger and cola without saying a word.
"Miss Huo."
"Hmm?"
"Then … why didn't the centipede bite you?" Hardedef had been wanting to ask this all along.
"Because it likes me."
John: "…"
"Miss Huo, don't lie to me. I don't believe you."
"As for why it didn't bite me, you don't have to worry about it. I definitely have my ways, but I know that if you have other thoughts and do something bad to me, I will definitely let it bite you. You saw what happened to Matthew, right?"
"Don't, I don't have any bad intentions. I just want to get the antidote safely and leave."
"This is the antidote." Huo Mien pushed the bottle of mineral water to John.
"How do I drink it? Is there a requirement?"
"One sip per person. Then … for the next week, each person has to drink 20 glasses of water and do 100 push-ups every day."
"Um … what does the antidote have to do with push-ups?" John was surprised.
"Because strenuous exercise can detoxify the poison …"
"Oh, I see. I understand. Thank you, Miss Huo." John carefully hid the bottle of mineral water in his pocket, afraid that he would lose it.
Huo Mien couldn't help but laugh. In fact, those people were already fine.
The dosage wasn't that high to begin with, but they were scared after seeing the reaction on their bodies.
Making them drink 20 glasses of water a day was indeed to speed up the detoxification process, but doing 100 push-ups was purely a joke.
Huo Mien didn't like Huo Siqian's subordinates at all …
"Miss Huo, what are you going to do after I leave? You're a foreign woman without a passport or identity. Even if you have money, it's hard to live here. The Australian police are very rude …" John reminded Huo Mien.
