Adrian snorted. “Strix gave me that vaccine for research purposes. It can’t cure Nolan Goldmann as he’s infected with a new type of sleeper virus, which has no incubation period.“Plus, the vaccine I got from Strix is the one that was developed more than ten years ago, and it would only be useful to people who are infected with the ordinary sleeper virus. You know nothing about the virus nor the vaccine, and you have the guts to use it on him?”Sue shuddered, and the people around them seemed to have frozen, and even half of their voices had disappeared.Adrian then looked at the group of reporters. “Why are we studying antibodies? The vaccine developed by the Kents aimed to achieve an anti-cancer effect and improve human genes through the virus to prevent certain diseases.“It’s an idea that has a glorious objective, but unfortunately, the Kents had failed, causing the worst catastrophe that the human population has ever faced back then. The things we study are the same as those t
‘What’s going on? The bodyguards actually let them through!?’Strix came out of the Intensive Care Unit in protective clothing. “Have you brought it?”Erwin handed the silver suitcase to Strix, and Titus stood up slowly and looked at them. “Can… Can this save Nolan?”Strix took the suitcase. “As long as Elder Master Goldmann is willing to believe in it.”Titus did not say anything. After all, the vaccine he had allowed Sue to administer to Nolan had almost killed Nolan once. However, at this point, he had to believe in him even if he did not want to.Strix went into the Intensive Care Unit with the suitcase.Sue, who the bodyguards stopped, shouted at Maisie and Erwin, “This is a scheme that you’ve set up, isn’t it!?”‘It must be their scheme! I’ve snatched the vaccine! How could there still be an identical thing!? This must be their scheme!’Maisie turned around slowly and glanced at Sue. A smile then appeared on the corners of her lips. “What scheme are you talking about?”S
“To be exact, there’s isn’t a huge effect.”Strix turned around. “This was a mere side effect from the rejection. The sleeper virus has a relatively stubborn cell. When the vaccine is injected into the body, those cells that spread will start to become active and accelerate the metabolism. His body cannot bear it, but he won’t die. "Maisie paused and pressed her lips together. If she knew that the vaccine would cause such a huge reaction to rejection, she might not have taken the chance.Strix consoled her, “You don’t need to feel bad. I initially planned to let Adrian use that vaccine for research. Even if you didn’t inform Erwin to make him take precautions, he would still have two vaccines with him at that time.”No matter which type it was, they didn’t affect Nolan negatively, but it just didn’t let Sue and Roger get their way. After Strix left, Maisie stood there alone until someone said, “I wasn’t expecting you to be behind the vaccine issue.”Maisie didn’t turn around, b
Something came to Quincy’s mind. “By the way, Sue has been coming to see you for the past few days. I’m not sure how she found out that Mr. Vanderbilt framed her about the vaccine, and she told Elder Master Goldmann about this. He believes her and blames Ms. Vanderbilt for it.”Nolan paused what he was doing and turned sideways, his eyes looking dark and lonely. …A silver-white car slowly drove into the yellow poplar forest. The wide lawn and the rows of tall poplar trees looked like an oil painting under the bright blue sky.This beautiful yet secluded area was where Adrian lived.Saydie parked the car outside a three-story tall villa with its own lawn. The doors were tightly shut.Maisie got out of the car, Saydie rang the doorbell, and someone came to the door after a long time. The man looked out from behind the door and asked, “Who are you?”“Is Mr. Kestner in?”“No.” Saydie suddenly kicked the door as the man was about to close it. The man took out a gun to defend h
As to why they had only tied up Jones, it was probably because of his family background. He was the only son in his family, unlike Adrian.The doctor walked out of the ward when Maisie asked, “How’s Mr. Smith?”The doctor smiled. “He was lucky to get here in time, and he didn’t go into hemorrhagic shock. I gave him stitches, and he just needs to rest for a few days.”Maisie walked into the room. Jones was lying in bed as he looked back at her. “Thanks.”“Don’t mention it.” Maisie stood next to the bed. “When we met back in Luxella, I asked about Ms. Reynolds and your uncle. Were you trying to help your uncle keep a secret?”He had avoided the topic because he wanted to keep it a secret. Jones paused and smiled, looking pale. “My uncle didn’t work with Roger. He was a fan of experiments. How do I put this? He had been obsessed with his own experiments and ignored the outside world and the objections of his family.”“So he left your family?” Maisie had heard Nolan mention that so
Nolan closed his eyes and scoffed. “What happens after we get a divorce?”He opened his eyes while looking cold. “I should accept Sue?”Titus paused. Even though Sue had snatched the vaccine from Strix, she had done that to save Nolan. If they hadn’t switched the vaccines, Nolan wouldn't be in such a dangerous predicament. Titus didn’t fully trust Sue either, so he wouldn’t try to push them together. “Any woman other than Maisie would work.”Nolan smiled, but he looked more sinister. “It’s been three years, but you still like to interfere in my affairs.”Titus growled, “I’m your grandfather, and I’m doing this for your own good. Even if what happened three years ago wasn’t her fault, without her, you wouldn't have been infected and fallen into their trap!”He knew that Maisie was innocent, but Nolan had almost lost his life ever since meeting her. He felt sorry for Maisie about the accident, but they should never have been together. They shouldn’t still be in contact after the
Seeing that the man in the bed wasn’t reacting, she sat at the edge of the bed and touched his cold hand. “Nolan, you can’t die. I really didn’t mean to hurt you. I just wanted to save you.”Sue’s eyes welled up. Although she had only spent a short time with Nolan, even if it was as Sue, she knew that he didn’t hate ‘Sue’, and that was a good start. She finally had a chance, but why couldn’t she save him?“I’m sorry, Nolan. It was my fault. It was all because of Maisie. She wanted to frame me and switch out the vaccine. I really didn’t know that it would have such a huge effect on you, Nolan. I really don’t want you to die…”Sue’s hand touched his face. “What are you doing?”A sudden voice came from outside, startling Sue. She turned around and saw Maisie standing at the door, staring back.Sue looked at Nolan and stood up with a stoic expression. “You switched out the vaccines and caused this. How could you still show your face here?”Maisie slowly said, “You betrayed Mr. Ke
‘I’m Sue Reynolds!’Sue kept saying the name in her heart, again and again, telling herself that she was Sue Reynolds.Sue turned her head around and met Maisie’s gaze. She said with a smile on her face, “I’m sorry, but I have no idea who this is. Although I don't know what prejudice you have against me, what is the purpose of you doing this to me? I just want to tell you that I want the best for Mr. Goldmann—”A slap landed on Sue’s face, causing her to turn her head sideways. She was stunned for a short while, and then she hissed angrily. “How dare you slap me!?”a“You want the best for him? Hah, please don’t make me laugh!” Maisie said as she rubbed her wrist. Then, she looked at Sue, whose face was clouded with a paroxysm of anger, shock, and ruthlessness. “What? Don’t give me that face.”Sue raised her arm as she wanted to slap Maisie back. Maisie just stood there and looked at her straight. Before Sue’s hand could reach Maisie’s face, Saydie grabbed her arm and pinned her on
