My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 120
In the end, Eden decided not to drink beer.She knew her own body. She wasn't supposed to have anything cold.However, she had always been quite lazy and cared little about her health. A little pain was nothing to her. She had experienced more pain than this.But seeing that someone wanted to take care of her… It felt quite wonderful.While they were halfway through their meal, Eden noticed that Horace hadn't even said a word. She was quite surprised.She raised an eyebrow and asked Alain, "What's with him?"Alain put some stew on her plate and said, "He's gone crazy."Eden nodded. "I think so, too."Caelus rolled his eyes. These two…The meal ended in silence.When Caelus was paying the bill, Eden noticed something and looked at Alain. "I thought I was supposed to see a patient?"She had never asked about it because she thought Alain would arrange everything before informing her.But it had been a week, and he hadn't said anything about it, so Eden chose to ask him instead

"Why don't you think about being my girlfriend?" Alain asked Eden with a faint smile.Eden got engaged with him because she was investigating Jerred's death.But now that everything had been made clear, their relationship had also changed. Now, all she wanted was to leave.Making her stay was going to be a difficult task indeed.Eden had a hand on her chin and looked at him with lazy eyes. "I can think about it."He treated her quite well, just like her grandma. He would spoil her without any reservations and support her in everything she wanted to do.Most importantly, he did look quite handsome!And she had a preference for handsome faces!Alain didn't expect that she would agree to it without reservation and was stunned. "You'll really think about it?""I'll observe for a while for now," Eden said slowly.Alain was speechless.He must have had a lapse of judgment for asking that."Maybe you can skip the observation? I should pass your test for becoming your boyfriend, an

Thanks to Eden's imposing presence, all the students from Class 3-18 had made significant progress with their revisions.Even the teachers were shocked.In just a few days, some teachers had already noticed that the students from Class 3-18 had greatly improved. And it wasn't just individual progress; the entire class was improving together.When Grant saw his students starting to focus on their studies, he was very happy.Eden was also very busy. She had to teach each student subject by subject and worked well into the weekend.Saturday afternoon, during the class's self-study session, Eden walked to the podium and knocked on it, telling all the students to be quiet.All the students from Class 3-18 were truly impressed by her, and no one ignored her anymore. Instantly, the classroom was quiet."We'll rest tonight and attend Leo's concert together," she announced.The class cheered."Long live the chief!""I thought you'd forgotten about the concert, chief! That's great! I w

Eden put her mobile away and looked at Alain, tilting her head with a faint smile on her rosy lips. "Now that I’ve given it another look, you're better looking than him."She wasn't that interested in the concert.However, she had to go to the concert today. She had something she needed to do."Let's go, then," Alain said, raising an eyebrow, joy apparent in his eyes.He had no principles at all.Horace gave Eden a thumbs-up. "You're still the best!"At the stadium, there were already a lot of people waiting. It wasn't even time yet, but the venue was already full.Horace could only sit in the fourth row with the ticket he got from somewhere.Eden wanted to give him the ticket to the first row, but after second thought, she decided not to. She didn't want to draw attention to herself. The fourth row was fine.The concert finally started.Leo wore a black tailcoat, and he looked graceful in every action he took.His appearance alone was enough to make many scream.Only Alain

After the concert had ended, Eden followed Alain back home. Ewan and the other students from Class 3-18 were going to return to school.Outside the stadium, Ewan stopped his classmates and took out a stack of photos with Leo's signature. "The chief asked me to give these to you. Leo's photos with his signature!"The students screamed in excitement."Ah!""Am I dreaming? This really is Leo's signature!""Chief, I love you!"Some of the concertgoers stopped and looked at them. When they saw the photos Ewan was holding, they became excited and approached him, asking, "Excuse me, can you sell them to me? I'll buy them at a high price."Ewan politely refused. "I'm so sorry, but there's only one for each of our classmates. We don't have any extras, and we're not selling them!"They were disappointed, but when they heard that all the students would get one, they showed expressions of envy.Ewan then distributed the signed photos and yelled, "We must repay the chief for treating us so

Eden followed Alain into the room and immediately noticed the patient on the bed. Her eyes narrowed.She rushed to the bedside, her beautiful face darkened. "What's going on here?"Jerred Hunt?Eden frowned and quickly checked Jerred's pulse.Alain's eyes narrowed, his fingers curling tightly in his pockets."Heartgorger?" Eden looked at Alain in surprise, her expression serious.Alain met her gaze and nodded. "That's right. His condition is worse than your grandmother's and has been worsening for a long time. Dr. Sanders from the Medical Research Institute put him into a coma by slowing down his heart, but he couldn’t cure him."Jerred's health has been deteriorating lately, and he won’t last long. We need to find a cure quickly."Alain hadn't initially wanted to ask Eden for help. If she could cure the Heartgorger toxin, she would have already cured her grandmother. But they were out of options. They needed to keep the Heartgorger under control, or Jerred wouldn't survive lon

Nighttime.Bluemoon Bar.Horace grabbed the beer bottle from Alain's hand, concern evident on his face. "You've already had too many bottles. You can’t drink any more. Even if you’re not drunk, it’s going to catch up with you eventually.""Give it to me," Alain growled, his eyes glowing with a fierce intensity."No!" Horace held the bottle close to his chest, refusing to give it up. "Your toxin isn’t completely gone yet. Even though Eden said you could drink, you can’t drink like this."The mention of Eden made Alain freeze. He slumped back onto the sofa in silence.Horace sighed, unsure what to say. Since morning, Alain and he had been waiting outside the hospital, hoping for a glimpse of Eden. But she hadn’t shown up, even as night fell.Alain had called Caelus, but Eden refused to let him in, so he didn’t know what was happening inside the ward. Caelus had relayed that information to Alain, and after that, they ended up at the bar.Alain, who normally wouldn’t touch beer, ha

Eden had never tried that needling technique before, which was why she took a little longer.When she finished, it was already ten in the evening.She expected Alain to be home, but he wasn't there when she arrived.Caelus then informed her that he couldn't reach Alain or Horace on their mobiles—they might be dealing with something.Eden didn't ask too many questions and went to take a shower.She didn't expect Alain to return just a few minutes after she got into the bathroom."Compared to me, do you want to stay by Jerred's side more?" Alain asked, jealousy tinting his voice.He admitted; Eden's attitude toward Jerred made him feel envious.When Eden heard this, she looked up at Alain and suddenly smiled. "So, you're jealous.""That's right," Alain said without any guilt. "I won't allow you to like other men."Eden finally understood why Alain seemed off tonight.The smile on her lips deepened. "Do you think he's my boyfriend?"Alain raised an eyebrow and looked at her, c

Eden had never seen this scarlet rock before. It looked like it had been scorched red by fire, but it felt cold to the touch.She was immediately drawn to it, even though she didn’t think much of it as she picked it up.At first, she thought it might be something unpleasant. But as soon as she touched the rock, a surge of limitless energy flowed into her body, making her realize that her power had reached a new level.Alain finally snapped back to reality, pulling Eden into his arms and patting her head. His voice was rough as he said, “Can you please avoid doing things that make me worry like this?”Eden was taken aback. She had only picked up a rock. What was he so worried about?Then she realized that Alain and Horace had probably seen the mist enter her body.“Alright. I’ll let you know what I’m doing next time.”Only then did Alain seem to relax.He looked at the rock in Eden’s hand and said, “This is called a Styx Rock. An old man gave it to me a few years ago after I sav

The last time Horace was kidnapped, Eden did everything she could to save him.Caelus had been with her for a long time and followed her every command. She wouldn’t just let him die.The two of them had just left the entrance when Horace came rushing over.“I heard Eden is awake. Let me see her!”Horace had been outside organizing the search for the murderer. When he heard Eden was awake, he left everything and came straight over.He treated Eden like a younger sister, so of course, he wanted to visit her now that she was awake.“Yes, I’m awake,” Eden said with a gentle glance at Horace. Then, she gave a slow, meaningful smile as she curled her lips. “I’m going to save Caelus. Come with me.”Horace suddenly shuddered.She turned to Alain. “What’s with her? Why did she smile so frighteningly?”Alain didn’t respond and got into the car.Horace followed them without delay.Caelus had been in the ice coffin for three days, and his body was already starting to deteriorate.Eden

Eden had just walked out of the room when Sinead arrived.“You’re finally awake. I’ve been so worried about you,” Sinead said, taking Eden’s hand. She then checked Eden’s forehead and pinched her face. Once she was sure Eden didn’t have a fever, she finally relaxed.“I’m really sorry for making you worry,” Eden said, her usual shyness showing.“No need to apologize,” Sinead replied. “If it weren’t for you trying to save us, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt so badly. I’ve been feeling guilty about it, so don’t say anything that’ll make me feel worse, okay?”Sinead glanced around at the nurses in the villa, knowing Alain had recruited them recently. “I know these nurses have been carefully selected, but they can’t compare to me taking care of you myself. Why don’t you come back with me? I’ll look after you personally and make sure you get all the nourishment you need.”“Alright,” Eden agreed immediately.Alain, who was behind Eden, could only watch silently.It seemed he had definite

“I… I wouldn’t dare,” the young nurse said, taking a few steps back, visibly trembling.Eden looked up at her. It was clear that the nurse was frightened, though she was trying to hide it.“What’s your name?” Eden asked as she ate the oats, which tasted fresh and just right.“My… My name is Gem. Gem Scarlet,” the nurse replied, her eyes fixed on the floor, avoiding Eden’s gaze.“How old are you?” Eden inquired. Though she was only slightly older than Gem, she exuded a calm, dependable demeanor.“Eighteen,” Gem answered quietly.Eden stroked her chin, observing Gem. “Do you stutter?”“Huh?” Gem looked up in surprise. “No.”Eden continued eating. “Are you afraid of me?”Gem seemed too stunned to stutter anymore and nodded instinctively. “Yes.”But she quickly corrected herself. “No… I… I’m not afraid of you…”Gem’s eyes filled with tears, and she struggled to hold them back.She bit her lip and, with her head lowered, explained, “It’s… It’s Mr. Brooks. He said you have a bad

Even though Hades was known as the king of all Banevermins, it wasn’t always active. Once the person implanted with Hades had consumed enough blood, Hades would fall into a deep slumber.He had just committed several murders, which meant that Hades had been fully fed and wouldn’t be triggered again anytime soon.Eden figured the reason for his sudden activity was that he was searching for a safer place to hide.“The Johnsons?” Liam repeated thoughtfully. “Since Alain is investigating them, and so are you, did they really do something they’re trying to keep hidden from outsiders?”Eden considered this and then decided to share the truth with Liam. “Have you ever heard of the Shamblers?”“Shamblers? One of the kids at the Agency was reading a horror novel a few days ago, and I overheard them mention it…” Liam said, pausing as he stood up suddenly. “Wait, are you saying the things in those novels are real?”Eden thought about it and nodded slightly. “Not entirely, but it’s not too f

Liam was genuinely impressed with Eden’s progress.If his own children had achieved as much, he’d be able to die happy.Eden, however, had a headache.She already knew about it.When Alain told Horace, she was in the same room and overheard it. She was unsure whether to tell Alain or not, wondering if he could accept the world she was part of.The world where the war would take place.After thinking it over, she finally said, “I’ll take it.”“Alright, I’ll send the reply.”Just before hanging up, Liam remembered something. “You’re in Estburg finishing your senior year, right? Almost ready to graduate?”“Yeah.”“With how smart you are, I’m sure you’ll have no trouble getting into a good university. Have you thought about studying in Rielton? We could grab coffee when we’re both free.”Eden replied indifferently, “The Agency must have a lot of free time these days, huh?”“Well, not exactly. I’m working on something pretty complicated and staying busy, but I’m making time to c

Eden massaged her head, glancing at all the nurses surrounding her.They watched her anxiously, afraid they might upset her.“All of you can leave. I don’t need everyone here,” she said, irritated by the crowd.As soon as the nurses heard her, they began to cry. “Did we do something wrong? Tell us and we’ll fix it. Please don’t fire us!”"That's right. Mr. Ward warned us that if we make you unhappy, he’ll kill us.”“We don’t want to die; please let us stay.”Eden froze, then muttered under her breath, “Darn it.”Was Alain out of his mind?Since when did he become so ruthless?Eden lowered her gaze, feeling the tension rise in the room. She glanced at the nurses, who were now kneeling in front of her, sobbing.Frustrated by the crowd, she said, “Just go. Alain won’t kill you.”Turning to Sulien, she instructed, “Pay them five times their salary and send them away.”Sulien, once obedient only to Alain, now followed Eden’s lead. Without hesitation, he paid the nurses as she as

Alain rarely mobilized his organization, and it was even more unusual for him to take a personal interest in anything. But Sinead knew it was serious if he had to step in himself.She remembered the call she had received from the Gardner family earlier, and a sense of unease settled over her.Could the person Alain and Horace were talking about be connected to that?If so, Rielton would become a living hell.The moment Sinead realized this, she quickly pulled out her phone and dialed a number as she walked outside. "I need your help."Three days later, at Pear Garden.Eden woke up shortly after Alain had left.As she opened her eyes, a young woman stood in front of her, staring at her.After a moment, the young woman excitedly exclaimed, "Ms. Griffith is awake, Dr. Sulien. Look!"She had barely finished speaking when dozens of people rushed into the room. Eden instantly frowned.She had only been unconscious for a little while. What... happened?Where did all these people co

Alain arrived just after the rest of the Ward family had left."Why are you here? Is Eden awake?" Sinead asked. She wanted to stay in Pear Garden to take care of Alain and Eden, but with the Ward family pressuring her for answers, she returned to the family residence to handle them first.They had just left when Alain arrived, and she thought Eden might have already woken up."She's still unconscious," Alain replied, unbuttoning the top button of his blazer as he sat down. "I’m here to see grandpa, and then I’ll head to the company."Sinead nodded. "He just woke up. Your uncles were here, arguing with me. He thinks it’s too noisy and doesn’t want anyone disturbing him, so don’t go in for now.""Got it," Alain said, lighting a cigarette. "Can you go stay with Ed in Pear Garden?""Alright."Sinead didn’t say much, grabbed her purse, and left.She had just reached the entrance when Horace rushed in. Without even greeting her, he hurried to Alain."Alain, he’s shown up again."Ho
