Mentioning Rosalie made Byron feel sad as he forced a smile. “It’s good to know the prescription will work.”Calian nodded, asked Linda for a pen, and added some herbs.As he wrote, he exclaimed, “What a genius! A genius! She knew the antidote given by Xander was to ease the poison temporarily. She could even find out the antidote for the poison. What a genius!”Even such a genius could not avoid experiencing such pain…Calian quickly finished up the prescription.“Lucian hasn’t arrived. I’ll help out with getting the herbs first!”Linda was so worried that she got up to offer to help.Calian handed her the prescription, reminding her, “These herbs are rare. You must be careful not to take the wrong herbs.”Linda nodded.However, she was dumbfounded when she saw the prescription.She thought that Calian was saying that a few drugs were unusual, but she did not realize that the prescription contained more than two dozen drugs, all of which were not commonly used.Although she
Linda led the way, while Old Master Loewe followed behind the three of them. His gaze was fixated on Lucian with great interest. The little boy was probably no more than five or six years old. It was astonishing to see that he had achieved such a level!Indeed, children of geniuses often turned out to be geniuses too!"Godmother, is my mommy very sick?" asked Lucian. His voice was filled with concern as they walked toward the warehouse.Mary paused her steps, lowered her gaze, and glanced at him when she heard what the little boy said. All she saw was the little boy looking up at her, his innocent face clouded with worry.She could not help but stroke his head gently. Then, she said with a gentle voice, "Mommy will be fine as long as you can help. Don't worry."Lucian did not say anything more.He already knew that his mother must be very seriously ill this time from the look on his godmother’s face! He had to help his mother!Mary became slightly anxious. She could not
"Mommy’s going to be fine.” Even though the situation was dire, he had no idea how to tell them the truth.Moreover, if Rosalie was awake, she would not want her children to worry about her. He did not say it explicitly, but his response implied agreement with Estie's words.The children had a vague sense that something truly bad had happened to their mother. Estie lowered his head, unable to find the words to express her feelings.Nox was upset too, but he had grown accustomed to being strong as he had always been by Rosalie's side."I'm sorry." He murmured to himself, "If only I had taken the time to learn some medical knowledge from Mommy earlier, then I wouldn't be completely helpless in every situation right now..."Lucian could at least help to search for medicinal herbs.He, on the other hand, could only wait here...Byron's brows slightly furrowed when he heard Nox blaming himself. He stroked Estie’s head and comforted them, "The two of you are already helping Mo
Byron fell silent for a few seconds. His gaze shifted to the little ones in his arms. He raised a hand and massaged his forehead. There was weariness in his eyes. Indeed, he was feeling anxious. He wondered how she was doing now."I’m glad you're here.” Byron said as he stood up, carrying the two children. He expressed his gratitude once again, but his tone was less polite than before, "I have to admit that I've been a bit on edge. Thank you for reminding me. I've managed to calm down."Andrius let out a sigh of relief and replied, "It's the first time I've seen you so anxious. Don't worry. Sister-in-law is going to be fine."The two of them grew up together. Ever since he could remember, Byron had always been like an ice-cold statue—even his gaze was icy cold.If Andrius did not know him well enough to notice the subtle changes in his eyes and his emotions, he might have thought he was facing an emotionless robot.This was the first time Byron had shown such emotional vulne
After hanging up the call, Byron turned around and entered the laboratory, feeling a complete sense of calmness in his heart. Knowing that the woman was fine at the moment was enough for him.As soon as Byron stepped inside, he saw Estie clutching onto Andrius' sleeve with a pitiful look on her face and speaking in a sweet voice."Uncle Andrius, is Mommy still unwell? When will Mommy get better?"Andrius looked flustered as he carried one of the little ones in his arms while trying to find a way to comfort Estie.These two little ones seemed to have some kind of telepathic connection. They were sound asleep when Byron held them in his arms. However, they groggily woke up as soon as Byron left. It took them a few seconds to come back to their senses. Then, they began bombarding Andrius with questions. Andrius had no idea how to comfort them anymore. "Mommy will get better soon. You've only been asleep for a few minutes. Don't worry..."Before he could finish his sentence, he
Byron abruptly ended the call.In the hospital, the director of the hospital was at a loss for what to do.It was as though the kids had a telepathic connection. They clung to Byron's clothes tightly and asked, "Daddy, how’s Mommy?"Byron's eyes darkened. "It's nothing. I have some business to attend to. Stay here with Uncle Andy while I return to the company."Both Nox and Estie, as well as Andrius, wore expressions of doubt on their faces.Andrius could immediately sense something amiss. His heart sank.Byron handed Nox and Estie to him before leaving the laboratory. Andrius anxiously followed behind him."Byron!"Byron was walking fast. He almost reached the end of the corridor by the time Andrius caught up with him.Andrius only had time to turn around and remind the two little kids, “Be good and stay here. I need to talk to your daddy."He briskly followed Byron and caught up with him at the corner after that.The person ahead clearly heard his voice but showed no inten
In the ward. Even though some experts caught sight of Byron, no one had the time to pay him any attention. Rosalie's condition was critical as her blood vessels had hardened, forming hemorrhagic spots. They had to find a way to control it. Otherwise, not even a miracle could save her if her blood vessels ruptured.Byron dared not approach any closer. Hence, he stood at a distance where he could see Rosalie. The woman on the hospital bed had a pale complexion. Color had drained from her lips. Strands of disheveled hair clung to her forehead and were drenched in cold sweat. She looked like a fragile paper doll that would shatter into a million pieces with just a touch.…Meanwhile, at Lancer Corporation.Xander sat in his office while his assistant nervously stood before him."What time is it now?" Xander asked coldly.It was the third time he had asked for the time tonight.The assistant raised his hand to check his wristwatch and cautiously replied, "Mr. Lancer, it's alr
The clock struck half-past ten, and there was still no news from Byron. Xander grew even more restless. Could it be possible that they had truly developed the antidote?For a moment, Xander began to doubt himself. Just as he felt a wave of shock, his phone on the desk suddenly rang. His expression slightly stiffened as he turned to glance at the caller ID. When he saw Byron's name on the phone screen, a relieved smile spread across his face as he coldly muttered, "Better late than never."However, instead of immediately answering the call, he leisurely strolled around the office with his hands behind his back before finally coming to a stop by the window. He gazed out at the cityscape that overlooked the entire seaside town, while the ringing of his phone echoed from behind him. Xander felt a sense of tranquility washing over him."Mr. Lancer, it's a call from President Lawrence. Aren't you going to answer?" the assistant cautiously inquired, unable to comprehend the situa
The immense pain caused Violet to become delusional. Besides the heart-piercing howls, she suddenly burst out laughing maniacally.She bit her lip until her mouth were filled with blood. Her face was grim and distorted and her eyes bulged out of the sockets.She stared at Rosalie viciously and sneered in a sinister way. "Rosalie Jacobs, so what if I poisoned your mother to death? Who made her a b*tch, unwilling to divorce obediently, and kept taking money from Gordon. She isn’t that great! Hahaha...""......" Rosalie's blood boiled. The seventh silver needle appeared in her hand.At this time, Byron quickly walked to her side and grabbed her.‘If my wife is overtaken by her emotions and takes a step forward, she would be a murderer for sure.’He hugged Rosalie, not letting her go any further.Sophie saw her mother in such pain. She stared at Rosalie with red eyes and kept yelling. "Rosalie, how dare you treat my mother like this? I will kill you! I will definitely kill you..."
When Violet heard Rosalie's concrete words, her face was horrified, and her eyes darted quickly."Rosalie, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever done something like this? Don't try to slander me!" She nervously argued.As everyone knows, she had fallen into Rosalie’s verbal trap."You haven't done it? Didn't you ask Ethan to help you poison Mama? It's mercury. Just a little bit could affect my mother slowly. Just two or three times a month is enough. The long-term accumulation of toxins was enough to shorten my mother's life to a few years. Ethan was so young then and you are willing to use him. Aren’t you afraid that he would accidentally ingest it?"Rosalie's angry face and hateful eyes made Violet look away in fear. Her body trembled uncontrollably."Violet, you still insist on arguing until now. I really couldn't do anything about you a few days ago. However, I can come to you now, which means that I have enough evidence to prove that you used your good son Eth
The chainsaw roared, and the iron chain was severed in less than thirty seconds, followed by two iron doors which collapsed to the ground.Byron and Rosalie walked in through the iron gate.The frightened Sophie rushed downstairs first. When she saw the couple, she panicked and shouted. "What are you trying to do? Breaking into a private house is illegal. I'll call the police immediately!"With that, she took out her mobile phone and feigned intimidation.Rage shot to the top of Rosalie’s head. She rushed over, snatched Sophie's phone, and smashed it to pieces on the ground.How refreshing to be the bad guy.For the past twenty years or so, Rosalie had been a pro at being a good person. She always suffered losses from being kind.The best way to deal with shameless people was to be even more shameless than them. In this way, there was nothing the opponent could do.Sophie was stunned for a few seconds, but she could not stop Rosalie at all."Where is Violet? Get the hell out n
Mama’s last will intermittently recorded the last three years of her life.When Rosalie finished reading her mother’s last word, the dam had broken, and she burst into loud sobs.The heart-piercing grief lingered in her chest. She kept murmuring under her breath. "Mama, my Mama...hurts so much in her life. She was in so much pain!"She tearfully looked at her husband. At this moment, Rosalie was like a frightened little animal, her entire body trembling helplessly.Byron read the will with her. The typically calm and introverted Byron felt his eyes burning and tears streamed down his face.Immediately, a monstrous anger appeared on his face. He exuded a deadly aura all over. He gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "Honey, we must avenge Mama. Violet is not human. She is just a beast clad in human skin!"Rosalie cried bitterly while hugging Byron, inconsolable for a long time.Finally, Detective Carter read the contents of the will and remained silent for a long time.The con
[My dear daughter, my beloved Rosalie, I wonder how many years later will you see this written will? Ten years, or twenty years? Or you may not see it at all."[Darling, Mama loves you very much, I love you too much. So, it is you who gave Mama the courage to accept my fate at this moment. I know very well that my life is slipping away bit by bit, but I don’t feel afraid at all!][However, Mama don’t know why such bad luck happened to you. You were only three years old and just learned to run and jump around, and you’ve just learnt to pronounce the word Mama properly. Despite that, death is around the corner, knocking on my door. Mama feels reluctant, this is such a waste! Mama prays to God, I’m willing to accept anything as long as you live, even if it means falling into hell.][You were suffering from a congenital genetic disorder. I took you to many hospitals and finally found a solution. However, the treatment cost is as high as one million dollars. Mama can't afford this at all
Byron, who has always been calm in dealing with things, felt anxious this time.The car continued to accelerate. There was no time to lose. He needed to verify personally whether the heirloom left by his mother-in-law were really hidden in the frame of the wedding photo.Rosalie also looked solemn, and her heart was beating fast.Violet cared so much about Mama’s heirloom. She was still looking for it even when she could not find it after more than ten years, which shows that this heirloom was of great importance.Perhaps, there was enough evidence in it to prove that Violet harmed her mother.Rosalie truly wanted to know; how did Violet manage to poison her slowly? At that time, she had no contact with Mama at all!In about ten minutes, the car arrived at the Jacobs old house.Early in the morning, Detective Carter still led his bodyguards to search around, knocking on every wall, trying to find some hidden storage space.Upon seeing the eager faces of the young couple, Detect
That voice seemed to unveil Rosalie's dust-sealed memory like an old chest.An image from that year flashed across her mind in an instant.Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Mama and Aunt Lou were eating cakes, chatting and laughing over tea. As the sun set, Rosalie came from the kindergarten on the corner of the street, lugging her schoolbag as she rushed home, less than a hundred meters away.Then, she exclaimed. "Mama, I'm home!"At that time, Mama was so healthy. Her eyes were always joyful, and she was as beautiful as an angel.Aunt Lou was also very young at the time, she had just married and had no children. She liked to ask her Mama for advice on family life issues.How wonderful it would be if life could stay that way forever!Unfortunately, everything was ruined by Gordon.Rosalie’s thoughts were raging. It took a long time before Rosalie came back to her senses and told Aunt Lou that she had returned to Coast City, and everything was fine.Aunt Lou continued to
On the second day of the wedding, Mary woke up and habitually thought that it was her home. She was about to go out in her pajamas.Fortunately, Andrius carried her back to bed just as she pushed the door open.Mary woke up from her confusion and realized her new identity, the daughter-in-law of the Quirke family.The husband held her, but suddenly refused to let go. His hands began to wander naughtily.Mary was astonished. They were keeping each other up until late last night. It was only a few hours apart."Is there any custom ceremony that has not been completed? Does your family need us to greet the elders on the first day after marriage?" She suddenly became flustered, and she was short of breath.She wanted to quickly change the subject, so her man would not continue his passionate torment.It would be really embarrassing if they made any noise this early in the morning.Andrius shook his head, and moved his lips closer, wanting to attack.Mary resolutely covered his lip
In the Jacobs’ old family home, Detective Carter kept receiving calls from the bodyguards, and knew the movements of Violet's family like the palm of his hand."Sure enough, it was a bait and switch. On the surface, two cars set off; one came to us and the other was headed to the airport. In actual fact, they escaped from the basement in a taxi. However, they were indeed unable to escape."Detective Carter summarized his updates and reported to Byron and Rosalie.The detective was shocked. The bodyguards that Byron arranged for him had excellent professional skills and strong execution ability. These men were obviously carefully cultivated.Byron nodded calmly.He sighed secretly in his heart. Sophie reacted exactly the same way as Xander Lancer back then, she chose to escape by water.Indeed, travel transportation such as airplanes and high-speed rails have rigid, fixed schedules and are relatively easy to be discovered.Rosalie's mind was not present at all. As long as the hus
