Helena steeled herself and said with a forced smile, "What are you talking about? We’re not targeting you; we’re doing this for your own good. Your grandpa is unconscious, and we're just worried.""Really?" Alain said, his voice dark as he slipped his hands into his pockets. "Where's the doctor you called?""Well..." Helena’s eyes flickered. "We were so worried, we forgot."Alain gave her a pointed look and said, "It’s fine if you forgot to call the doctor, but remember to take all your things when you leave."He turned to Caelus and said coldly, "Show them out.""What do you mean?" Helena’s expression shifted instantly. "Your grandpa is unconscious. How can we leave now? We need to know what’s wrong with him."At that moment, the maid guided Sulien into the living room.Sulien greeted Alain and immediately went to Julius’ side to check his pulse.Caelus had just started ushering the Ward family out when Helena hurried over to Sulien and asked, "How’s my dad?"Sulien checked J

Both Helena and William exchanged uneasy glances and remained silent.After a long pause, Helena finally spoke, "Since you can cure the Seductress's Sanguine, then do it."Alain's eyes narrowed sharply at her words, a cold glint appearing in his gaze. "How did you know the poison’s name is Seductress's Sanguine, Aunt Helena?""What's so strange about that? Isn't it the same toxin you were poisoned with?" Helena's expression grew dark."I've never mentioned the name of this poison," Alain said, his voice icy."I..." Helena’s expression faltered. "I found out by asking around. As the Ward family’s successor, I didn’t want anything to happen to you, so I quietly searched for a cure. I only learned about the Seductress's Sanguine after some time. From what I know, it’s quite difficult to cure."Alain’s lips curled into a faint, icy smile. "Thank you for your concern.""You're my nephew, so of course I care," Helena said, shifting her gaze away. "But enough of this. We need to think

"But you're very polite when you spent half an hour arguing with me instead of focusing on saving grandpa when he fainted?" Alain said, resting his hand on the sofa's armrest.His other hand held Eden’s as he glanced at her mobile screen, pointing at it. A block fell, clearing a row.Helena’s chest heaved with frustration as she glared at Eden before looking away. She faced Alain, trying to control her anger. "I was just too worried about your grandpa.""If I hadn't called Sulien in time, Grandpa might have already died while we were arguing," Alain said sharply, his eyes cold. "If that had happened, you wouldn't even have the chance to stand here discussing my fiancée's manners."Helena’s heart skipped a beat. "I..."Alain noticed the panic in her eyes and gave her a stern look before turning away.The rest of the Ward family chose to remain silent, realizing that Alain’s anger could be severe. They knew that facing his wrath was worse than losing their inheritance.Those who h

Sulien glanced at Alain, seeking guidance on what to do next.Alain nodded and said, "Just a quick look. His condition doesn’t allow for long visits."Once the room was clear, Sulien whispered to Eden, "Ms. Griffith, I followed your instructions and used the needles to slow the flow of his blood. He’s awake, but the toxin is still spreading. We can mask it for now, but we can’t keep it hidden forever. What’s the next step?"Eden discreetly handed him a pill as she bumped into him. He understood what she meant.Eden texted him, instructing him to use the needles to seal several points on Julius.Sulien had been learning traditional medicine techniques from Eden and had spent his time studying human anatomy from a holistic perspective. Fortunately, he was able to follow her instructions and had observed her perform the technique before, so it wasn't too difficult for him."Your grandpa is fine. It’s not Seductress's Sanguine," Eden said lazily as she relaxed in Alain’s arms."Not

"How could they do this?" Sulien said, his anger evident. "Mr. Julius is already so old... How many more years does he have left? How could they risk his health to achieve their goals?"Eden looked at Alain, whose expression had darkened. "Don’t worry. We can help him. But you need to handle the internal issues quickly. He won’t survive another attack."Alain nodded, pulling her into his arms and resting his chin on her shoulder. He remained silent.Eden didn’t disturb him, understanding his mood.Sulien saw Alain’s gloominess and chose to remain quiet, sitting at the side in silence.After a while, the Ward family members left the bedroom. Once they knew Julius was okay, they all went home.As they left, they only said their goodbyes to Alain, completely ignoring Eden.After they had left, Alain took Eden to his bedroom. Sulien went to gather the herbal ingredients needed for the elixir according to Eden’s prescription.When Julius saw Alain and Eden enter, he made an effort t

Eden leaned against the wall by the street, placing her miniature computer, which was made from her mobile, on her lap as she folded her legs and focused on the screen.She glanced up and asked, "Would it be difficult for me to find out?""It’s not difficult for you to find out I’m in Rielton, but it’s odd that you’re so interested in my whereabouts," the man said, suddenly curious. "Did you do something, so you feel guilty?"Eden set her device on the ground and put her hands in her pockets. "Looks like you’re able to avoid them. Take your time then.""No! Please, no!" The person on the other end pleaded. "It’s my fault, alright? Can you help me shake off my pursuers? One of them is a computer expert who can track me no matter where I go. If you don’t help, they’ll catch me for sure."On the other end, a man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, dressed in a tightly wrapped black jacket, was one of the Four Kings serving the agency—King Cobra. He was crouching in a corner and gl
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 203
After a moment of thought, Eden frowned again. If King Cobra really had something to do with Alain, who should she help?Annoyed, she stowed her mobile and pulled down her cap before heading towards Alain. "Let's go."Alain looked at her and took her hand, asking casually, "Something important?""It's done now," Eden said, her eyes a bit dimmed.Alain nodded, saying nothing more.As they were driving, a luxury car approached them. It was Helena and Vivian.Helena approached with a smile, swaying her hips. "We were so focused on your grandpa earlier that we forgot you two haven't eaten. Let me take you out for dinner. My treat."Alain smirked. "Thanks."Eden glanced at Helena and then looked away, saying nothing.Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a high-end restaurant specializing in modern cuisine.This was the most exclusive restaurant in Rielton, open only to members with different levels of access. Ordinary members dined in the main hall on the second floor,
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 204
When Helena heard Eden's response, she smiled."You want to use your own card? Think it through. Normal members can only dine on the second floor. Are you sure you want to eat alone?"Helena's lips curved into a smile. "You should come with me. You're representing the Wards when you're out, so don't embarrass Alain."Quin sneered. "I wonder what Alain is thinking, getting engaged to someone like you. What’s impressive about you? Can you even get Alain in? Being able to enter a restaurant like this is a status symbol. Not only will you embarrass Alain by using a normal member card, but you’ll also make him lose status. I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."Her disdain was evident.Eden met Quin's gaze with a nonchalant look. "A normal member card is disgraceful? How impressive do you think your diamond member card is?""You..." Quin was taken aback. "At least we can eat in a private room on the top floor with a diamond member card, while you can only dine in the hall on the
