”What happened?”The subordinate swallowed a mouthful of saliva before slowly saying, “It’s just that the antidote… Dr. Wilson said the antidote temporarily can’t be produced.”“What? Say it again? What do you mean it ‘can’t be produced’?” Howard started getting nervous.“Dr. Wilson said that the antidote created last time couldn’t completely get rid of the poison, so he has to start researching from scratch. Some problems have arisen and the antidote might not be able to be produced.”“What problems? He was the one who created the poison. Tell him that if he doesn’t produce the antidote, I’ll take his life!” Howard aggressively hung up the phone. His breathing turned rapid, and his expression looked fierce.“What’s going on? You gave Sharon the injection even though you don’t have the antidote?” Xena was shocked. This meant… Did this not mean that Sharon was definitely going to die?When this thought flashed through her mind, she could not stop the sense of glee that rose in her
Hearing Penelope’s words, Simon’s eagle eyes darkened and he glared coldly at Xena.What kind of nonsense had she been telling Penelope?Xena felt increasingly uncomfortable under his gaze. She lowered her head guiltily, not daring to meet his eyes.“Penelope, my marriage with her is fak—” Just as Simon was about to explain, he was abruptly interrupted.An explosive shout sounded from behind him. “Simon Zachary! I’m going to beat your motherf*cking *ss! You dare to trick Shar into marriage just to take revenge on her?!”No one knew when Eugene Newton showed up but it was obvious that he had heard Xena’s words. He stormed over in a rage and threw a fist at Simon.Simon reacted very quickly, dodging the punch.“You still dare to dodge? I’m going to teach you a lesson on Shar’s behalf right now!” Eugene did not give him an opportunity to speak before once again throwing a punch at him.This time, Simon grabbed the man’s wrist, so the punch could not land. The two men’s eyes met, a
If it were not for the antidote, he would not let Sharon stay for even a second longer.…Simon brought Xena to the end of the hospital’s corridor where there was nobody around.He looked straight at her and spoke with a cold voice, “Who told you that I planned the wedding in order to take revenge on Sharon?”Xena’s heart leaped. Was he condemning her for her crimes?She had deliberately said those words to Penelope because she wanted someone to back her up.“I… I heard it from Howard.” She lowered her head, looking as if she was very afraid of him.She did not know how to face Simon, so she could only toss this hot potato to Howard.Simon’s eyes flashed icily when he suddenly remembered that Howard had said this kind of thing to Sharon before.Thinking about how Howard had happened to come across Sharon being kidnapped this time around, he kept thinking that something about this was off. Was it not too much of a coincidence?“I only said that in hopes that Aunt Penelope woul
Everyone, Simon included, was present in the room when the doctor injected Sharon with the antidote.Everyone except for Xena hoped that Sharon would recover this time. “Alright, I’ve injected her with the antidote. Now we will have to wait till she wakes up for further observation to be carried out,” the doctor told Simon. Simon responded with a slight nod. His well-defined brows were overcast with worry. Eugene turned around to glare at him coldly. “If Shar doesn’t recover, the Newtons will never forgive you!” he said in a frigid tone. Simon pursed his lips, the look in his eyes unreadable. His gaze was fixed on Sharon’s pale face. Eugene did not know if Simon had heard what he had said as the man did not respond to him at all. Two days later, Sharon still had not woken up. She continued to sleep quietly. Although she had stopped bleeding, when would there be any signs of her recovery if she continued being in a state of deep slumber? “Simon Zachary, hasn’t she
“You’re wrong. I stopped being a doctor a long time ago.” “You’re right. You’re not a doctor, you’re the scum of the earth!” Howard shouted. However, he was still infuriated after scolding him. Finally, he warned him, “Make the antidote as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’re dead meat!” He threw his phone on the sofa in a fit of rage and tousled his hair. He had to continue with his plan even if there was not an antidote! Originally, he had only intended to give Simon half of the antidote. As for the other half, he would keep it. Otherwise, there was no way that his uncle would concede to his requests. Xena had wanted to come over to ask Howard about the antidote. However, she heard the shouts coming from inside the ward through the closed door. Howard had shouted the last few words in a loud voice, so she could clearly hear him when she placed her head on the door. Her lips curled into a discreet smile. It seemed like she no longer needed to go in to ask him about it.Sh
Sharon was still extremely weak. She had been resting in bed for the past few days. Riley told her that her kidnapper had injected her with poison. She was unconscious for a long time after being poisoned. “These kidnappers are really cruel and harsh. If they’re caught, they definitely can’t be let off so easily!” Riley said angrily. “They haven’t been arrested?” Sharon asked in shock. “That’s right. They’re extremely cunning. They offered us the antidote under the condition that we’re not allowed to go after them,” Riley told her while she peeled the apple in her hands. She then inched closer to her and lowered her voice. “However, your brother told us that we have to make it seem like we’re agreeing to their conditions. After getting our hands on the antidote, they’ll all be arrested. Scumbags like them can’t be allowed to roam the world freely,” she said. Sharon lowered her eyes. She was not in a good mood and was rather dispirited. Perhaps it was because of her wea
Suddenly, Sharon felt extremely pressured. She withdrew her gaze from Howard and said calmly, “Thank you for treating me well, but we’re just normal friends now. Please don’t have any other thoughts.”She was grateful to him for saving her life, but that did not mean that she would accept his feelings for her. Howard seemed to have expected she would react this way. He did not mind the fact that she had outright rejected him without considering his pride. “It’s alright. It’s good to be friends as well,” he said. If he put in more effort to pursue her, he believed that she would fall for him once again. After all, they were each other’s first loves...Sharon glanced at him. She was tired after talking to him. “I’m tired. You should go back and rest well for a speedy recovery,” she said softly while pulling up the blanket around herself. Noticing that she was not in a good condition, Howard’s gaze darkened. He got up and said, “In that case, you should rest. I won’t disturb y
Simon came to the corner of the corridor. He picked up the call which was from an unknown number after making sure that no one was around him. “Hello?” Although it was an unknown number, his instincts had told him who it was. The person on the other end of the call was once again using a voice changer to alter his voice. “President Zachary, Miss Newton has been given the antidote. She’s awake now, right?” The person’s voice sounded weird. He must have altered his voice so that nobody could recognize him. Simon frowned slightly. Did he know this person? “Tell me what you want to say,” he said in a low voice. The person on the other end of the call laughed nonchalantly and said, “From the tone of your voice, it seems like Miss Newton is awake. However, I forgot to tell you that the antidote I gave you can only detoxify half of the poison. You need another dose in order to fully detoxify the poison in her.” That meant that the antidote was still with the person. Simon’s g
