Chapter 258 This is simply a death sentence
Aimee and Patrick didn't answer for a while, which made Lorenzo's face become grim.
He said, "Actually, you don't need to tell me. I can also imagine what is going on with her now."
As soon as he said so, Aimee and Patrick were even more astonished.
However, soon, the two had already thought of something, and there was no more surprise about it.
The reason why Veggia was mysterious was that one of the rumors was that the people here had the
ability to predict the future.
They can predict the future, especially for close relatives, which was more accurate.
Aimee felt even more uncomfortable.
So, Lorenzo should already know about Sophie's current situation.
Aimee said, "Mr. Benton, to be honest, Sophie's current situation may not be very good. We came here
for this matter. I wonder if you have any ways to solve it."
There was something in Sophie's body that she cannot detect, and it must be related to Veggia.
Now, since it was known that Sophie was the daughter of village head, then, Aimee had more or less
some hopes.
However, after she asked this question, she saw the expression o Benton's face, which became even
more serious.
Aimee's heart skipped a beat, and her expression became a little serious too.
She had a premonition that things might be worse than she imagined.
But…
If even the village head can't solve it, then, wasn't Sophie...
However, the more Aimee worried about it, the more it will happen.
She heard Benton say, "I really can't help it."
His voice suppressed the pain in his heart.
Aimee saw that his eyes were all red, and he looked extremely sad.
For a moment, Aimee wished what she saw was her own illusion.
However, the fact told her that this was not the case.
What she perceived was the most real.
Benton was indeed distraught.
Aimee gasped and didn't know how to comfort Benton. The only old man she ever got close to in her
life was Camdyn.
However, now that Patrick had been cured, Camdyn didn't have such troubles at all.
Sophie's situation was different from Patrick's. it was 100% sure that Patrick can be cured, but
Sophie...
Benton sighed and said, "It's useless, even I can't help it."
Aimee couldn't understand why Benton was so determined.
Patrick stroked Aimee's back lightly, and then said, "Mr. Benton, do you mean that this result is
destined to happen after Sophie left the village?"
Lorenzo's falcon-like eyes had a look of extreme powerlessness.
He said, "We Veggia people are born with a special physique, which brings us a lot of convenience, but
also brings us a lot of disadvantages. In order to keep the people in our village away from danger, we
never leave the village. And we will not allow outsiders to come in. If the people inside want to go out,
we will put a poison in their body. After leaving the village, how long they can survive depends on their
own good fortune."
After Aimee listened to it, she didn't look good.
Therefore, even the daughter of village head was given a special poison before leaving the village.
She can no longer describe her mood now. She was very sad at first, but now she only felt her body
was cold.
In other words, all of this was ordered by Lorenzo, and he knew it would be this result.
Obviously, he can prevent his daughter from becoming what she was like now.
However, he still chose to do so.
Aimee suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
Just now, she actually sympathized with Lorenzo because of his grief.
Even, she thought if Lorenzo could give a solution, then she could do her best to save Sophie.
However, now it seemed that everything was a joke.
This was the fate of Sophie. No matter how superb her medical skills were, she will be no match for
Veggia's abomination.
Patrick sensed the sudden coldness emanating from Aimee.
His palm landed on Aimee's back, soothing her.
Now was not a good time for them to get angry.
Aimee also understood this truth, so she didn't let herself really get angry.
She just looked at Lorenzo coldly , and didn't want to say anything more.
Lorenzo can naturally feel Aimee's anger, but instead of being angry at Aimee, he just said, "I know you
will think that I am cruel, cold-blooded, and ruthless, and I don't treat my daughter the slightest bit soft-
hearted. However, I am a village head, and I cannot let my people lose their lives just because she is
my daughter."
Lorenzo can be said to be very righteous and awe-inspiring, and it didn't sound like there was any
problem.
However, this was where the most serious problem lay.
This provision was inherently unreasonable.
With what Lorenzo said, after being given this special poison, whether one can live or not depended
entirely on one's luck.

This was simply inhumane.
Aimee curled her fingers together, suppressing herself with great difficulty. She didn't have the urge to
rush over to punch Lorenzo.
