Xander sneered. “It depends on President Lawrence’s performance whether or not I’m in the mood to give the antidote.”Then, he looked at Byron mockingly. “President Lawrence, do you think you can make me give in by involving my grandfather? Since when have you become so childish to be asking the elders to speak up for you?”Old Master Lancer was already pissed off. He started coughing violently upon hearing that. “Cough… Shut up! You are on the wrong side, how dare you make up excuses!”“All I did was for the Lancer family!” Xander said righteously.The butler saw Old Master Lancer coughing violently. Ignoring the chances of being scolded, he approached and helped Old Master Lancer return to the living room.Old Master Lancer could not even speak. He was still angry, but he could do nothing. All he could do was point at Xander, warning and hoping he would repent and make up for his mistake.However, Xander did not even look at him. Instead, he felt relieved that his grandfather h
“Now that I think about it, Miss Jacobs was so naïve. I’m starting to feel bad doing this to her…” Xander said ironically.Before Xander could finish, Byron had already rushed toward him. Then, Xander felt a blow to his gut.Xander groaned and doubled up in pain. His face had also turned pale.Byron grabbed Xander by the shoulders and retracted the fist from his stomach. His gaze was cold and dark.“How dare you say that! Rosie trusted you so much. You are a doctor like her and should be benevolent. How dare you do this to her!”Thinking about Rosalie quarreling with him because of this scumbag, Byron’s anger grew, and his grip on Xander’s shoulder grew stronger.Xander gasped for breath and tried to stand up. However, he could only bend his body and raise his head to look at Byron because Byron was pressing him down.“You don’t deserve to be a doctor!” Byron snapped coldly.Xander sneered. “I never wanted to be a doctor, and it is none of your concern if I’m not a benevolent d
Xander’s request was getting more and more outrageous.Byron’s gaze eventually turned cold, and anger overtook him.He had to endure his fury for Rosalie’s sake. With that in mind, he looked at Xander expressionlessly.“I’m sure you’d be willing to sacrifice them all, but I’m not greedy. I only want one of them.”Xander told Byron his condition calmly.Byron had no patience to wait any longer and asked, “Which one do you want? I can’t decide for Rosalie, but you can choose any company under the Lawrence Corporation!”Xander seemed displeased and frowned upon hearing that. “Since you say so, I’ll have to think about it. President Lawrence, please leave for now. I won’t be able to think of what I want immediately. I’ll contact you when I have made up my mind.”“Xander!” Byron gritted his teeth as he shouted out Xander’s name. He wanted to kill Xander right away if he could.The angrier he was, the happier Xander felt. “Don’t worry, President Lawrence. Only I can wake Rosalie up.
“Grandpa, are you still mad at me?”Xander entered the house and happened to hear what his grandfather was saying. He pursed his lips in disdain but quickly adjusted his expression and walked into the living room.Hearing Xander’s footsteps, Old Master Lancer finally found a channel to vent his fury. “What are you doing here? Where is President Lawrence?”Xander said, “He left through the back door. Are you still expecting to see him? Haven’t you spoken out enough for him?”“Bast*rd!”Xander’s words were sarcastic, and Old Master Lancer almost passed out again. He gasped for breath for a few seconds before speaking again.“I’m not speaking out for him. I’m doing this for you! If Byron got mad, the Lancer family could not hope to fight against him! If the Lancer Corporation perishes, it will not benefit you either!”Xander pursed his lips and said nothing, but he was annoyed.Old Master Lancer had lectured him like this countless times since he was young.Nothing had changed!
Byron rushed to the hospital immediately after he left the Lancer family’s villa.He was worried about Rosalie even though he had only left her side for a few hours—after all, her condition was so serious.Moreover, he had gotten some information from Xander. He thought he should update the specialist so that they could try more ways to wake Rosalie!He stepped on the accelerator and sped to the hospital.Soon, he got out of his car and strode to the hospital’s top floor.The director of the hospital and the experts were still thinking of solutions to cure Rosalie. However, they still could not find the cause of her coma.“President Lawrence!”Everyone looked at the door upon hearing the sound of footsteps.When they saw the man at the door, they froze.President Lawrence was back, yet they still failed to cure Rosalie…Recalling Byron’s previous angry expression made them feel suffocated.Byron ignored them and entered the ward to check Rosalie’s condition.The director qu
“Since it was inhaled, what that person used on Mrs. Lawrence should involve some herbs.”One of them added, “But what herbs could it be?”If they could discover the herbs used to put Rosalie into a coma state, it would be easier for them to make the antidote.Everyone soon started discussing the solution.Chatters sounded outside the ward. For the sake of Rosalie, Byron waited patiently for the experts to think of something.However, their discussion resulted in nothing for the next half an hour.Frustrated, Byron headed back into the ward.Rosalie was still in a coma.The ward was in deep silence.Byron walked toward the bed, his heart filled with worry as he looked at his woman.“Rosie, don’t be afraid. I’ll think of a way to rescue you. You will be awake soon.”Then, he lightly kissed Rosalie’s lips as if she could feel and hear him.Byron touched her hair when their lips parted and muttered, “Please say yes to my proposal when you wake up. We will hold a grand weddin
Mary was being very calculative. If she asked Byron to go together with her, the trip would cost her nothing!Before she could be happy for too long, Byron's voice rang out again."Rosie is unconscious and is now in the hospital."Hearing this, Mary's face froze up, then her expression slowly became incredulous. "What happened? Which hospital are you in? I'm coming over now!"Byron gave her the address.Half an hour later, Mary rushed in, her eyes red with anxiety.When she saw Rosie's face as she lay on the hospital bed, tears almost fell from her cheeks."What's going on? How did it turn out like this? Is this how you take care of her?"Mary looked at her best friend and questioned Byron at the side.Byron said in a deep voice. "It's my fault.""Rosie..."Mary did not have the heart to listen to him, so after criticizing him, she grabbed Rosalie's hand and mumbled, "Can you hear me? You have to wake up, okay? The children will be very worried if you remain like this..."
From the hospital, Byron rushed to the research institute again.After the researchers examined Rosalie's body in the morning, they went back to the research institute to continue the research on the antidote under the leadership of Linda.Now that they finally had an idea of what happened to Rosalie, Byron naturally had to go check on them again.When he arrived at the institute, a group of researchers was still doing experiments in the laboratory area.Only Linda was sitting in the office, occasionally glancing in the direction of Rosalie's workstation, her eyes full of worry.She wondered how Dr. Jacobs was doing right now...Just when she was at the height of her worry, there was a sudden movement at the door.Linda came back to her senses, got up, and looked over.She saw Byron standing in the doorway with a tightly locked frown.When he saw her look over, he said, "Call everyone that was present this morning, I have something to say."Linda quickly responded since it wa
