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
At the thought of his silly sister pining over Simon every day just because the man had not visited her these few days, a surge of anger rose within him. “You shouldn’t go in. Don’t disrupt her emotions,” Eugene said. He walked past Simon, opened the door, and went in. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He paused in his steps, turned around, and looked straight at Simon.“Right, I’ll tell you about this beforehand. I intend to bring her away after two days when her condition improves. I hope you know what you should do by then. Don’t stop us again,” he said. He did not want Sharon to continue staying here.Simon’s gaze darkened, and he spoke to Eugene in a firm, heavy voice, “No, you can’t take her away yet.”Eugene’s expression changed once he registered his words. “Why is that so? Do you still want to take revenge on her? She’s suffered so much already. Is it still not enough for you?” he asked. If that was the case, Eugene would never forgive him!“The poison in
After Sharon woke up, Xena wanted to visit her. However, she suppressed her urge to do so.She thought that it was better for her to visit her at a more suitable time. Otherwise, if something happened to Sharon due to the shock of knowing that Simon had proceeded with the wedding with her, Simon would blame her for it. She had been keeping in touch with Howard. He confirmed that Sharon would not be able to get the antidote anytime soon. However, it was a threat for her if Sharon was around. She kept having malicious thoughts. If the antidote was successfully formulated, should she destroy it to get rid of Sharon once and for all? She was beyond surprised when Simon sent someone over to ask for her household registration permit. They told her that Simon wanted to register for a marriage certificate. Xena handed him her household registration permit and asked, “Simon, are we going to register for a marriage certificate now?” She could not wait any longer. Simon did not expe
