[Ellie's P.O.V.]
If he had simply been hiding away because he didn't want me to worry about the investigation, then why did Olly say what he did?
I looked at Anton for a while, hoping he would eventually reveal more. But he kept silent and maintained a poker face. I almost suspected that I was hallucinating.
In the end, I gave up. It was fine if he didn't want to tell me. Everyone had their own secrets and I didn't have to know everything about him. At least he told me about his mobilized guards.
I sighed. "Even if that's the case, you shouldn't stay cooped up and refused to eat. Myron has also been hesitant to come look for you. Look, as long as I'm alive, I don't think the culprit will disappear anytime soon."
I had been suspecting the relationship between the culprit and the wizard. If one was able to develop the antidote and pill, then the other must have known too. That was probably why the culprit decided to add their blood to the potion.
