My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 13
Sulien quickly stepped forward and stood right in front of Eden. His eyes were opened wide, seemingly about to roll out of their sockets. “How... How do you know this formation?!” Sulien looked at Eden excitedly, his voice breaking.The Panacea Formation.It was a needle technique written in an ancient book from the Renaissance Period. The only known surviving copy was kept in the Medical Research Institute.When Sulien was a student of modern medicine, he had the opportunity to see how a veteran doctor, Dr. Sanders, had used the needle technique to save a young girl who was dying from a car accident. Since then, he has also grown very interested in traditional medicine.Half a year ago, Alain had been poisoned during a mission. It was extremely potent. He couldn’t tell what kind of toxin it was even though he had used the most advanced diagnostics equipment to analyze it.However, Alain’s time was limited. After accidentally discovering the book’s existence, he spent a lot of t

In just two minutes, the tumors on the upper half of his body were gone.Horace, Sulien, and Caelus were so astonished that they were speechless.It was beyond shocking.They had spent months, and the entire Medical Research Institute had been working on Alain’s case around the clock. But they couldn’t remove even one tumor.Yet here she was, a nineteen-year-old girl, removing his tumors with just one session of needling.Even the lower half of Alain’s body was filled with tumors. However, since Eden was here and they were not officially married, it would be inappropriate to show her the lower half of his body.As Horace was still hesitating about whether to ask Alain to go to his bedroom so he could take a look at him, he heard Eden’s monotonous voice ring in the living room. “Take off your pants.”Both Alain and Horace were speechless.Was she even supposed to see that part of his body?Alain was her fiance, but she was only nineteen!If word got out, what would happen to h

After Eden got back up, she then took out the phone that she had switched off for a few days from her bag. Then, she switched it back on.The moment she switched it on, a call immediately came in.“You finally picked up! The Agency’s in so much trouble!” The person on the other side said excitedly.If Alain was right next to them, he would definitely figure out who was calling her. It was the person in charge of the Agency, Liam Robertson.Eden moved the phone away from her ear and frowned, saying, “Give me the information of the person who wanted to buy information on Nosoi for one billion.”Liam was stunned. He thought that K was going to get angry, but he didn’t expect her to be so calm.He stayed quiet for a moment before saying, “You’ll take the job?”Eden pulled a chair and sat down, putting her hand under her chin.She had wanted to rest for a year so she could focus on investigating Jerred’s case.She frowned and said, “I’ll take it.”After pausing for a moment, she t

After Sulien said that, Alain, Horace, and Caelus all became quiet.True. It was extremely weird for a nineteen-year-old to have medical skills of this level. Not to mention that Eden knew a skill that was supposedly unique to Nosoi. The only explanation that fit was that she was Nosoi’s student.After some time, Horace asked, “If that’s the case, have you somehow crossed Nosoi? So the reason that the Agency didn’t take the job isn’t because of K, but it’s because of Nosoi?”Alain lifted his gaze and looked at Horace, as if he was thinking about something.Suddenly, an alarm started blaring.Caelus immediately stood up and sprinted upstairs after glancing at Alain.Very quickly, he came back down with a laptop in his hand.He opened it in front of Alain and checked it before raising his head with a serious expression on his face. “Boss, someone hacked your computer.”Alain sat up, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. “Who?”Caelus shook his head. “The hacker erased his trace

Didn’t they say that Alain was ill and disfigured?But there was no disfigurement!He was so handsome!Jasmine felt as if she was about to black out.What had she done?She had basically handed a man who looked like a living god to Eden!“What is it, Ms. Jasmine?” Alain glanced at Jasmine before looking away. He didn’t even want to waste a second with her.There was no change in his expression at all.Jasmine suddenly remembered why she was there and quickly said, “My mom’s worried that Eden can’t get used to the life here since she’s just moved here, so I’m here to help her unpack.”She quietly peeked at Alain’s face as her heart raced.He was so handsome!That was how her future partner should look like.Alain nodded and didn’t spare her another glance. He continued eating with the fork in his hand.He also picked up another piece of meat for Eden and put it on her plate.She was quite skinny, so she should eat more meat for nutrition.Looking at how gentle Alain was,

Eden’s phone started ringing. It was a short text. She picked it up and looked at it. While she was responding to it, she answered Alain’s question, “Monday.”“Riverside Senior High isn’t as simple as it seems. Be careful.” Alain knew that she was quite prideful and was interested to know how she would do at Riverside Senior High.He probably had to find someone to protect her in secret.“Yeah,” Eden chugged the beer bottle in her hand in one gulp as she sat on the chair.When Jasmine came down, she then saw how strangely harmonious things were between Alain and Eden. The resentment inside of her was getting stronger and stronger.Didn’t they say Alain was brutal and violent?Why was he treating Eden so well?She hesitated a little before hiding the coldness in her eyes and walked over to Alain and said, “Master Alain, since my sister doesn't know anyone here, can I stay with her here for a while? I’ll move back once she gets used to life here.”The reason Jasmine was here toda

The next morning, the screeching doorbell woke Eden up.She kicked her blanket away in displeasure, her expression of someone not to be trifled with. She was extremely irritated, to the point of wanting to punch someone.When Eden got downstairs, Alain was already up.When Eden saw who it was, she was stunned.It was a woman!And she was beautiful!She was very well-presented with a perfect figure and full of grace.The woman instantly saw Eden, who was standing behind Alain. She quickly stepped into the house and held Eden’s hand, her beautiful face revealing a brilliant smile. “My, my, you must be that daughter-in-law of mine? You’re even prettier in person. This is great!”“Hello,” After being stunned for a moment, Eden greeted her politely and stopped being so thuggish.The woman in front of her was Alain’s mother, Sinead Ward. When Eden was investigating Alain, she had seen Sinead’s picture before.“Hello to you too,” Sinead said, obviously very happy with Eden. She pu

Sinead lifted her gaze, looking at Jasmine somewhat confused. “You must be Jasmine.”When the Ward family decided to go ahead with the marriage with the Hunt family, Sinead had already studied the Hunt family.Of course, she had seen everyone’s photo as well. That was why she was able to make out Jasmine in one glance.“Yes, I am,” Jasmine smiled sweetly and meekly.“Why are you here?”Someone with the status of Sinead had already seen many kinds of people in her life. The moment Jasmine spoke, she could already tell that she didn’t come with pure intentions. She immediately frowned, and her expression darkened.Jasmine looked down, seemingly embarrassed. “My sister has just moved to Estburg. I’m just going to accompany her for a while. Once she’s used to life here, I’ll leave.”As Jasmine continued to keep up with the girl-next-door act, Sinead was getting annoyed with her instead.“That’s inappropriate, isn’t it?”Sinead said as she let go of Eden’s hand and sat with her bac

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
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 349
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
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 348
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
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 346
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
