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
He needed to know the details of that doctor’s background. They had hired so many doctors but their attempts in formulating the antidote had all been fruitless. Why could this one succeed? Howard had purchased a villa outside of the Zachary household. Usually, he stayed there alone.Now that Sharon was here, he hired some maids to look after her.“Stay here without any worries. Nobody will disturb you here. Dr. Wein is living here as well. If anything happens, you can call for him anytime,” Howard told Sharon and Eugene.Eugene would be staying here with Sharon. He was worried that something would happen if she stayed here alone.After leaving the hospital, Sharon’s emotions calmed down. She was being overly quiet right now.They did not know if she heard what Howard had told her just now. She continued staring out the window without uttering a single word.Eugene sighed when he saw her being like this. He carried her onto the bed and let her lie down. He then tucked her into t
Once Penelope saw that Simon was back, she could not resist the urge to complain to him, “Look at him. Look at your darling son. We’re taking good care of him but he’s messing up the entire house. He even broke a few of my vases!” she grumbled. Sebastian was now all grown up. Nobody dared to stop him when he was throwing a tantrum. Those maids did not dare to do anything to him since he was the only little young master in the family. Sebastian did not care about Penelope’s complaints. “I’m scolding you, you scumbag! You’re rubbish!” he shouted at his father angrily. Simon frowned. Before he could reprimand him, Penelope shouted out, “What do you think you’re doing?! How can you behave like an impudent jerk? How dare you scold your own father?” “From today onward, he’s no longer my father! He’s no longer my father since he has married another woman. I want to sever the parent-child relationship between us!” Sebastian announced loudly while he stood on top of a coffee table wit
“It’s no wonder you abandoned Mommy! I hate you! Hmph!” Sebastian huffed loudly and pushed Simon away forcefully. He then turned around and ran away. Damn it, he had better not regret his decision. He had better not beg him and his mommy to return in the future! Simon watched Sebastian run away. It did not seem like he intended to chase after him. It seemed like he had really given up on his son. A hint of surprise and shyness flashed across Xena’s face. She had heard everything that he said while standing by the side. Was he finally willing to recognize her as his wife? Besides… he had also said that they would have their own child in the future? Penelope, who was riled up, felt better after hearing what Simon had said. “Let that little rascal leave! Let him go to his crazy mother!” Penelope said. She had always viewed Sebastian with distaste. After knowing that Sharon had the madness gene, she was worried that Sebastian would have it as well.“You’re right, Simon.
Howard was in the garden of his villa while Sharon was sitting in a wheelchair. The nanny had pushed her out to take a walk. The antidote formulated by Darren was actually effective. After taking it, she felt much better. However, he said that the antidote could only suppress the effects of the poison for the time being. It could not completely detoxify the poison. He was yet to formulate an antidote that was capable of fully detoxifying the poison in her body. Therefore, she had to take the same antidote every 15 days. “Mommy…” someone called out as a flurry of footsteps headed toward her. Sharon, who was initially in low spirits, was instantly energized after hearing this voice. She turned around to look at where the voice was coming from. It was really her son! “Sebastian…” she called out. Her downcast emotions since the past few days dissipated the moment her son appeared before her eyes. Sebastian rushed in front of her. He was about to jump into her embrace bu
She held her son’s shoulders with both hands and said in a low voice, “Alright, from today onward, both of us will stick by each other’s sides. We’ll make him stay far, far away from us!”Sebastian circled his arms around her neck and hugged her. He whispered in her ear, “Mommy, don’t be upset. From today onward, you can rely on me.” Sharon was in a better mood after listening to her won’s heartwarming words. She patted his shoulder and said, “My son is growing up to be a man. Mommy is getting old soon. Who else can I rely on other than you?” “Mommy, you aren’t old at all. You look younger than the woman that my scumbag father married,” Sebastian said. He was not coaxing her. He was simply stating the truth. Xena Amy had always seemed old and arrogant. “Daddy must have been blind to fall for that old aunt.” Sharon laughed without holding back. She bopped his nose and said, “Don’t talk bad behind someone else’s back.” Sebastian pouted and said, “I wasn’t talking bad about
