However, a voice within her yelled out that this could not be! He could not be telling her the truth! She calmed herself down, wanting to give him another chance. She wanted to give herself another chance as well. “Do you have any hardships that I don’t know about? You’re just pretending to marry her, right?” she asked. Simon raised his eyes and stared at her. The dark orbs of his eyes were so calm that she had begun to lose hope. He saw the inkling of hope in her gaze. He did not want to shatter her hope, but… he had no choice but to end things harshly. “Didn't you see our marriage certificate? Do you think I would create a fake marriage certificate just to trick you?” he asked. He paused momentarily and continued, “Furthermore, Xena has been by my side for the past two years. There’s no reason for me to let her down.” Sharon’s heart lurched harshly. The inkling of hope within her went out completely. She could no longer keep lying to herself, saying that his marriage cer
Sharon thought that the poison in her body had been fully detoxified. However, Simon was now saying that this was not the case! It was no wonder that her body was still in such a bad condition. She still felt weak all the time. Simon noticed that Sharon’s expression had worsened. “The antidote consists of two doses. You’ve only had the first dose. The other dose… I’ll get it for you sometime later,” he could not stop himself from telling her. To prevent her from being overly worried and afraid, there were some things that she did not need to know about. It was impossible for him to wait for the kidnappers to send the antidote over themselves. He had already asked Franky to track their whereabouts.Sharon’s eyes gradually landed on him. He felt suffocated when he caught sight of the empty look in her gaze.“That’s why you can’t leave now,” Simon said as he met her gaze.“If you hate me that much, why are you looking for an antidote for me?”Simon pursed his lips as a dark gli
He breathed in deeply before finally saying something after a long pause, “Go! Leave right now!” he yelled out in a low and hoarse voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned away from her to face the window. The lone silhouette of his back seemed cold and indifferent, but his heart was throbbing in pain. Eugene huffed coldly and walked to Sharon’s side. He removed the knife from her hand carefully and said, “Sienna, let’s go. I’ll take you home.”Sharon still had an intravenous drip fixed to her hand. Eugene had no choice but to carry her and place her in the wheelchair. He then brought the catheter along with him. Simon tensed up when he heard the noise behind him. Even so, he forbade himself from turning around.He heard the sound of the door opening. Then, the sound of Eugene pushing the wheelchair out resonated through the room.He remained tense until the room fell silent. He would make the kidnappers and those who plotted against him pay for everything! “Sienna!”
Sharon was sent to the emergency room. Two hours later, the doctor came out.“Doctor, how is she?” Eugene, who had been outside the entire time, walked over and asked.Simon was there as well. There was a cold expression on his face as he fixed a sharp gaze on the doctor.“We’ve controlled the effects of the poison for the time being. Her life isn’t in danger, but the poison must be detoxified as soon as possible. Otherwise, something like this will happen again. If it happens too frequently, she won’t be able to take it.”The doctor was being kind with his words, but they all understood what he meant. If this persisted, Sharon’s life would be in danger.“Detoxify the poison in her body then! Why can’t you get rid of it?!” Eugene shouted out. Blinded by his anger, he had forgotten that the doctors here had no way of formulating the antidote.Simon’s face tensed up. He turned around and walked away without saying anything.Eugene’s gaze darkened. He took a few steps over and grab
Simon narrowed his eyes. “Where are they? I want to interrogate them personally,” he said in a cold and heavy voice.He had never given up on catching the kidnappers. He could not get threatened by them forever.“Follow me,” Franky said, leading him away at once.Simon followed Franky to a secret room where the four kidnappers had been gagged. They were squatting on the ground with their hands tied.They raised their heads and saw Simon entering the room. A hint of fear flashed across their faces.Simon stared at them coldly, giving off an icy and dangerous aura.One of his subordinates placed a chair before him so that he could sit down. Meanwhile, a few burly bodyguards who were clad in black stood behind him.“Tell me, where’s the antidote?” Simon questioned as he sat down. It seemed like this would be a long interrogation.He tore off the duct tape on the kidnappers’ mouths, allowing them to talk now.“We don’t know,” the leftmost kidnapper said. Simon glanced at Franky.
Simon walked out of the secret room with an overcast expression. His piercing eyes were as dark as the night.The calmer he seemed, the more afraid Franky was. He followed behind him cautiously.He had thought they would get information about the antidote if they managed to catch the kidnappers. However, the people that he had caught were all useless underlings.Never mind the antidote, they did not have much useful information at all.“President Zachary, about those kidnappers… What should we do with them?” Franky asked him, trying to test the waters.Simon continued walking forward with an impassive expression on his face. He cast a sideways glance at Franky when he arrived at the door. “What do you think?” he asked him in a chilly tone.From his expression and demeanor, Franky knew that he should not anger him right now. These kidnappers had hurt Sharon… He would not let them go easily.“Understood. I’ll handle them accordingly,” Franky said. He had been by Simon’s side for s
“Don’t think that you’re a doctor just because you’re holding a medicine kit,” Eugene said with distaste. “I’m not a doctor,” Darren said with a shrug. Howard elbowed him to remind him not to speak rashly. He then added, “This friend of mine was once a doctor. He’s not a doctor now, but he has been researching all sorts of poisons throughout the years. He’s an expert in the detoxification of poisons.” Simon turned around to look at him. He frowned suspiciously when he saw this unkempt poison specialist. “Why have I never heard of this friend of yours?” he asked Howard. “Ah… We haven’t been in touch for a long time. If something like this hadn’t happened to Shar… Sharon, I wouldn’t have thought of him,” Howard said. “We’ve hired so many doctors but none of them were able to formulate an antidote. Someone like him… Can he do it?” Eugene asked in disbelief. “As for whether he can do it or not… You’ll know after letting him formulate the antidote,” Howard said with a smile
Sharon was met with the sight of Simon’s handsome face once she opened her eyes. She looked into the dark orbs of his eyes. There seemed to be a hint of worry and a sliver of happiness in his gaze… Nevertheless, the harsh words he had told her before she passed out flashed across her mind. He had told her that he was simply taking revenge on her… If that was the case, what did the worried look in his eyes mean? Did he still care about her life and death? Oh… Right, he had told her that he did not want her to die because she was the mother of his son! Anger surged within her as she pushed him off forcefully. “Go away…” She was not capable of exerting a large force as she had just woken up. However, Simon was sitting by the side of the bed. Furthermore, he was not prepared for the blow. Therefore, he was pushed down from the bed. He was holding onto her, and he almost pulled her down along with him. “Be careful!” Eugene shouted out. He moved swiftly and rushed ove
