Spoiled by Mr. Russell のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 2011 - チャプター 2020

After setting up everything, the doctor glanced at Lily. However, it was only brief, without speaking. His gaze seemed to signal her over, but she stayed still since he said nothing. Lily wanted to see what they were up to."Ms. Christian, please come and have a seat here," one guard said.Lily glanced at him and asked, "What will you do?""Please don't be nervous. It's just a routine health check-up for you," the person replied.Lily squinted, sensing it would not be anything good. She directly refused, "My health is fine. I don't need any check-ups!" ‘Why would they suddenly want to examine me? Who knows what their intentions are?”"Ms. Christian, this is for your benefit. If you don't consider yourself, at least think about your unborn child," the person continued, "Please rest assured. It's a typical health check-up, nothing more.“However, if you continue being stubborn, we must take extreme measures. At that point, we can't guarantee you won't get hurt."There was an evi

Alexander sat quietly in the car, seemingly waiting for something with a calm expression. Although he had many problems to solve, he never lost his patience.Ten more minutes passed, but it felt like hours. The house remained silent without a single sound. Suddenly, the communication device in the car beeped, emitting a red light.Alexander pressed the answer button, and a deep voice sounded, “Mr. Russell, we found him.”Alexander heaved a sigh of relief, then opened his eyes, not allowing himself to be lax. “How’s the situation?”“He’s unharmed.”He nodded. “Extract him now.”“But…” The caller sounded hesitant.“What’s the problem?”“Well…” After a pause, another voice came.Although it was weak, Alexander knew it was Cameron’s voice. “It’s me.”“Cameron.”“Tell them to leave without me,” Cameron said lowly.“But why?” Stunned, Alexander soon caught on. “You want her to keep you hostage?”“Yes, I can’t tell you much now. Just tell your men to leave. I’ll explain when ther

The driver turned his face slightly. Although dark, one could see it was indeed him. Edward casually answered, “It was all right.”Even so, Alexander knew it must have been a nightmare for him—even more so than the gunfights, assassinations, and betrayals they once faced together.‘The sense of helplessness that we’re no longer in control of our bodies and that we might’ve hurt even those closest to us is unthinkable.’“If it weren’t for—” Alexander started, but Edward quickly interjected, “It’s not your fault. The organization is inhumane. Even if it weren’t me, they would target another person. Besides, it allowed me to obtain helpful information.After a pause, he casually continued, “Perhaps fate made it happen.”Alexander chuckled, feeling slightly relieved. “Since when have you believed in fate, Edward?”“People change.” Edward laughed. “Lily once said we all think differently at different stages of our lives due to what we’ve been through.”His smile gradually froze, and

“I was taking notes,” Austin answered again patiently. He saw Dominic’s puzzled look, then fetched his notebook and showed it to him.Dominic stretched but was too weak to hold the notebook, so Austin crouched by the bed and held the notebook for him. He said, “I’ll hold it for you.”The older man narrowed his eyes and started to read. Austin had filled the book densely with neat handwriting. His notes were detailed, too. He included dates, wrist pulse results, analysis, pathological speculations, and thoughts about various possibilities.He also marked personal speculations as references only.Dominic was surprised by what his grandnephew wrote.As he read on, Austin explained, “I took your pulse once every two hours for the past two days and then jotted down my notes. I know the pulse doesn’t change much over a short period, but I wanted to see the difference.“After all, the virus is unlike any we’ve encountered before. Since I have nothing else to do here and can’t help much,

After a while, Dominic casually said, “Did you notice a pattern with the virus?”“It’s active during the day and dormant at night?” Austin thought for a moment and answered.The older man nodded approvingly. “Most viruses are active at night, but this one is most active during the day. That’s why I slept well at night while suffering various discomforts during the day.”Austin patted himself. After all, he had also monitored his condition over the past two days. “This could be one of the traits the organization developed during the research. Still, I don’t understand how the transmission works. How come Alex, Galen, and I are okay?”Even so, his pulse had always been average and steady.“Let’s say I’m immune to the virus because I’m the source—what about Alex and Galen? It doesn’t make sense,” he quickly added after a momentary pause, “Of course, I’m happy they’re okay. I’m just curious why.”Dominic was curious about it as well.‘If it’s not contagious, how come the servants an
