"Is there still no sign of Brother Marcus awakening?" Camellia suddenly asked. She hadn't gone to the laboratory in these days, focusing on healing.Jessica hadn't gone either, ever since Edward mentioned feeling troubled by a woman, she was waiting for news without disturbing them in the lab.But she knew Mr. Marcus still hadn't woken up."Not yet, Edward said he'll stay like this until a cure is developed, relying on nutrients and sedatives, and those reagents I don't understand." Jessica smiled, she has gone from worried to calm."Brother Marcus is really going through a lot." Camellia felt some heartache. If she were to say who she loves most in this world, it's definitely not Darling, not Herman, but Mr. Marcus.Jessica shared the same sentiment. Everyone understood that Mr. Marcus's life was hanging by a thread, the seven-day deadline had passed, and he could only rely on medications to keep his heartbeat. Although she felt sorry for him, she felt helpless. Why was she fine whil
Miss Jessica's smile twisted slightly, and stiffened for a moment.Rose remained calm.Camellia turned around and gently patted Henry's head, imparting some heartfelt advice, "Good boy, you definitely aren't a homosexual, so you don't need to know."Henry cutely tilted his head, smiling brightly, with an innocent look on his face. Although he didn't understand exactly what "homosexual" meant, he knew it wasn't a pure term, judging by the reactions of the women around him."Mommy always says learning is endless.""Henry, you must understand that not everything the elders teach is completely correct, otherwise there wouldn't be so many criminals in the world," Camellia said earnestly.Oh, she wasn't calm anymore.Rose shook her head, quite puzzled, "Herman doesn't have any influence on you at all? You still have the mind to compete with Edward?"This woman, she is becoming more and more secretive now."What's he compared to, what can he possibly offer compared to Edward? I'm really deva
"Easy fix then, break your leg, you can still detoxify while sitting in a wheelchair. It's about your brain, not your feet.""Aunt, you're ruthless!" Henry gave a thumbs up.Antonio just ignored the comment. The maid brought them abalone soup, each was served a portion,Elva said, "This was given to Master by the princess last time. It tastes delicious. Master asked me to prepare it for you all to taste."Camellia propped her head and said with a smile, "Elva, your words are getting sweeter. Edward wouldn't order such a thing, you must have taken the initiative.""Miss Camellia, you are smart." Elva smiled. Her black veil only revealed a pair of shining brown eyes, coy and timid, very beautiful. Even though her full appearance couldn't be seen, judging from these eyes alone, Elva was definitely a beauty.Camellia laughed. Edward was simple, not a fan of seafood.Moreover, being sent by the princess, it must be a good thing."This taste is kinda weird," Miss Jessica fanned herself and w
Jessica nervously clenched her fists, her heart beating wildly. This pregnancy felt different from the last time with Henry, there was more fear this time. She feared she wouldn't be able to keep this child.Camellia sensed her thoughts and gently said, "Don't worry too much, Sister-in-law, the virus will be gone tomorrow. The child is still small, maybe when your virus is gone, the child's virus will also be gone. Even if the child doesn't make it, it's okay to terminate the pregnancy. You and Brother Marcus are young, there will be plenty of opportunities to have children in the future."Henry's pink face showed reluctance, "I want to have a little brother or sister.""We also want that, but they have to be healthy," Camellia said, feeling a bit heavy-hearted. Using common sense, she could tell without even checking that this baby wouldn't make it.Jessica also thought about this, her face losing its brightness, her eyes dull, a touch of pain crossing her expression. Must she really
Edward's estate resembled an ancient noble mansion with modern and traditional design elements. Edward's secluded garden was like a small courtyard.The exterior of the house had a classical design, giving off an air of luxury. The walls were made of white jade, with glazed tiles for the roof. There were many white jade lotus-shaped lights under the eaves, creating an elegant atmosphere.The courtyard was filled with various exotic flowers and plants. Antonio couldn't identify most of them at first glance, but upon closer inspection, even a random purple-blue flower, he couldn't name it.The exotic scents in the courtyard were refreshing and invigorating."What kind of flower is this?" Antonio crouched down curiously, examining it.It looked a bit like a rose but not quite, a purple-blue rose he had never seen before.He reached out curiously, about to touch it, when he heard Edward's distinct, crisp voice carried by the night wind, "If you don't want to die, you better not touch that
Having spent almost eight days working together, collaborating to find an antidote for the virus, with Antonio's help, Edward saved a lot of effort. His detoxification skills were indeed good, but there were areas where he was not as good as Antonio.After all, each had their own expertise in their respective fields, complementing each other.Initially, Edward didn't like Antonio because he felt that Antonio was trying to compete with him. He originally thought Antonio was overestimating himself, after all, Edward had that arrogant capital, looking down on Antonio's title as the Miracle Doctor.But gradually, after a few days of working together, he realized that Antonio was not just living off his reputation, he was truly talented in the medical field. Their cooperation became more harmonious, and their relationship warmed up.Heroes always appreciate each other, especially when they are geniuses who have always been unrivaled in their own fields.Once people become familiar, there a
Antonio watched the screen with bated breath, feeling anxious for the first time, wondering if the antidote wasn't effective. Drawing in a sharp breath, he had calculated that there should have been a reaction in fifteen minutes. Why was there no reaction at all?The mice had started to get rid of the virus after only ten minutes.Something was not right.A thin layer of sweat appeared on Antonio's indifferent forehead.Edward remained calm, sitting in front of the computer, coldly staring at the screen. He seemed very composed, showing no signs of panic, almost as if no reaction in half an hour was normal, not a cause for alarm.But even Edward's palms were sweating. He knew that if the antidote failed this time, Mr. Marcus would undoubtedly die. Even if he and Antonio continued to work tirelessly on the antidote, there would be no results in three to five days. Jessica could wait, but he couldn't wait any longer.Edward was very solemn. He didn't need to turn back to know what expre
Antonio nodded, confirming the story, "Leopard used to raise babies as poisonous persons. They were fed toxic substances from birth, with over a dozen children at the time, several died, and only three survived initially. Later, their food was tainted with poison, and two more died during their growth period, leaving just one survivor. This child is very different from ordinary children, he's a carrier of the poison, and anyone who touches him will be poisoned, causing death in severe cases, while others would need immediate serum injections and months of recovery even for mild exposure. Even his breath is toxic.""Such cruelty," Henry frowned. How could someone be so cruel?His Laura had been under Leopard's control since she was young, fortunately, Leopard did not treat her as a poisonous person to develop. The pain of such a situation was definitely unbearable for ordinary people."Indeed, very cruel. Fox ended up imprisoning that child over this issue and had a fallout with Leopar
