Their parents were killed because of a mistake made by Ronald South. Afterward, Ronald simply brushed it off and then continued to exploit their sons. Connor despised the South family, and he did not bother to say much to Martin. Sam was much calmer. “Sir, your poisoning is indeed due to this person.” “Poisoning? Hahaha, Gerald, you’re poisoned, so you must be blind now, right?! Haha, the great Mr. Gerald is actually a blind man...” Gerald looked at him indifferently. Martin’s words got stuck in his throat. “What? No, I won’t give you the antidote! I don’t have the antidote! Gerald, this is your fate, even your biological parents abandoned you, I—” “Gerald does not like to listen to nonsense.” These calm and gentle words had decided Martin’s fate. Martin’s face turned pale, and intense fear made him scream, “What do you want to do?! “Gerald, do other people know your true face?! Do they know you’re a demon?! Everyone says you’re gentle and polite... Hahaha, what a jok
“I once knew someone who had a condition just like that. She was also fine during the day, but she would become blind at night. She was unable to do anything about it, so she was confined to her large estate. Finally, she died there.” Pete continued, “She was poisoned at a very young age and lived until her forties before her will to live collapsed.” North asked subconsciously, “Who was this person?” Pete turned his head, looked at her intently, and slowly said, “The true heiress of the Bracken family, Cedric Howard’s first wife, Paige Bracken.” North was shocked! Paige Bracken? She was almost certain that Gerald was Paige’s biological son. Paige had been poisoned back then. After that, Gerald was poisoned too?! Pete got straight to the point. “I won’t ask what the relationship between Paige and Gerald is, and I don’t need you to explain anything either. But North, the poison in Gerald’s body is partly due to external factors and partly due to congenital factors from his
Gerald waited there for a whole day. Of course, the smell of blood lingered on him. Gerald usually would not care about this, but when he was with North, he recalled what Martin South had said. “If North knows about your true colors, would she still stay by your side? “Does she know that her husband is a cold-blooded murderer? Does she know that the fourth level of the basement of her house is such a scary place? “If North knew about it, she would definitely leave you. Gerald, you’re cursed! It’s no wonder you’re exiled by your friends and family!” Maybe his blindness had affected his mind. He could not see North’s actions and expressions, so he could not see her worry. Gerald knew that he should not be affected by those words, but he was. Martin was right. He was a gutter rat. No matter how hard he tried to get out and regardless of the glamorous image that he portrayed to others, it was undeniable that he was born evil. North came to her senses as her expression chan
Five minutes ago, North left after hearing Gerald’s words. He clearly could not see, but he was still hiding it from her! Why would he want to hide it from her when they were a married couple? Was it because he did not want her to worry about it? However, if Gerald did not mention that, she would be even more worried about it. Fine. She would go if he asked her to. After all, Gerald did not want her care. However, when she reached the entrance in anger, she did not hear him chasing after her. It meant that Gerald was staying at the same spot. That was right, he was blind. He suddenly lost his eyesight, so he would not simply move around as he could not navigate properly. Steward was still in the backyard, and Connor’s whereabouts were unknown. Gerald was left alone in the mansion. He would only be able to stand there as he would not be able to go anywhere. But Gerald was lying to her earlier. Why would she care about him? That was right. She wanted to ignore him!
So… the person that she liked was not the real him. “But Mr. Gerald, there is no clear explanation when it comes to love.” North sounded calm. “I like gentlemen because you’re one. If you no longer wish to pretend to be a gentleman in the future, I’d also like that version of you.” Gerald paused, and his breathing started to get heavy. He suddenly bent down and kissed North right on the lips even though he could not see. North widened her eyes in shock. Why was he so aggressive? Gerald was kissing her with great force. He parted her lips open and before she could come to her senses, he was slightly panting when he said, “Open your mouth.” North subconsciously grabbed his sleeves. When she heard the man’s voice, she subconsciously opened her mouth, and his kisses became even more intense after that. “Gerald, um…” Before she could finish her sentence, the man kissed her again. North felt as though she had lost control of herself and was completely going with Gerald’s f
North’s face suddenly turned red. It was unknown if it was from anger or embarrassment. “Gerald, stop being delusional!” Gerald did not say anything else. He mindlessly buttoned his bathrobe again. “I don’t need a massage.” North turned around. She was not in the mood to joke. “Mr. Howard, do you know your eyes are blinded because you’re poisoned?” It was not night blindness, nor was it temporary blindness. It happened because he was poisoned. Gerald looked indifferent and confirmed her question. “Yes.” North was shocked. “You’re aware of it?” “Do you want to ask me if I don’t want to go through a detox?” Gerald said indifferently, “No one is able to cure this poison. It can only be suppressed, so I don’t need a detox massage.” Fortunately, the poison was under control. The worst-case scenario was that he would go permanently blind. Compared to his life, his eyes were actually not that important to him. As long as he was alive, some people would not dare to do anyth
Two hours later, Gerald was covered in sweat when he opened his eyes. Instead of darkness, he could finally see again. North was absolutely exhausted. It was not that exhausting when she was giving the other patients detox massages in the past. However, it seemed like the effects of the treatment were not bad. Connor started to tear up. “Mr. Gerald, your eyes!” Gerald was not as excited. He roughly knew that the episode would last for two to three days. It was the end of the episode, which was why he got his vision back. But it would happen again, and the episodes would get more frequent. North also knew this, which was why she was not overly excited as well. “I’ve dried some herbs in the backyard to brew some herbal tea later on. You should drink some every day.” Those herbs were fruits of Pete’s hard work. Since Paige was Pete’s patient before, these medicines would definitely work. Gerald replied, “Alright, I’ll get Stewart to help you…” “Madam, Madam!” Stewart’
After North heard that, she immediately left and went to the backyard. Stewart immediately followed after. The room became quiet. Connor waited until North was out of earshot before he asked anxiously. “Mr. Gerald, did Madam give you the detox massage? Why didn’t you tell her about your current condition…” Gerald was not fit to get any detox massage! The detox massage would only increase the potency of the poison. Unless it was the secret doctor that had once treated Paige, any other regular detox massages would only speed up the onset of another episode caused by the poison. Gerald was extremely calm and indifferent. “My eyes are already like this. It doesn’t matter if I get another episode. They won’t get worse.” Connor chased after him. “But…” “There is no but.” Gerald paused and instructed, “Do not tell her about this.” North wanted to treat his eyes. That was enough for him. Gerald already knew his destiny. He had long accepted the fact that he would go b
