No one knew where Andrea had arranged a place for Old Master Loewe to stay, but she fetched him to their house in an hour.Andrius greeted Old Master Loewe respectfully, “Mr. Loewe.”Old Master Loewe observed the siblings, and his attitude was better toward Andrius. “Where is your grandfather?”Andrea hesitated when he said, “My grandfather isn’t in good health. He’s been staying away from the city to recuperate. If you wish to meet him, I’ll send you to his place for a visit after you cure my friend.”As if afraid Old Master Loewe would misunderstand, he explained, “My friend’s situation is quite serious and can’t be delayed. I’m sorry for making you come here after your flight.”Calian was satisfied with his attitude. He nodded and said, “It doesn’t matter. Saving lives is more important. Where is the patient?”Andrius said, “She’s in the hospital. I’ll drive you there now!”Then, he strode ahead to lead the way.Andrea intentionally followed behind slowly and walked with Old
Getting a positive answer, Calian frowned and shook his head.Everyone was puzzled upon seeing this. They did not know what Old Master Loewe meant, yet no one dared to ask.It was a long time before Calian spoke again.“Four strangest poisons. The four ancient strangest poisons written in an ancient book are red powder, intestine gutting grass, a-day poison, and smiling dew. Those aren’t real and can’t even be found now.”What he meant was Xander was still fooling Byron.Byron’s gaze turned cold, and his murderous intent toward Xander grew.Xander even deceived him in a situation like that!If someone took it seriously and tried curing Rosalie with that concept, she might be dead by now.Suppressing his anger, he asked humbly, “What do you think Rosie’s illness is, then, Old Master Loewe?”Calian looked at Rosalie’s facial complexion again and pondered before saying, “All of you go out. I want to examine her for a while, alone.”Everyone, of course, was afraid to reject.Des
The crowd was in an uproar upon hearing Old Master Loewe’s words, and fear struck them.“No wonder Mrs. Lawrence’s blood vessels constricted so badly...” someone whispered.With sharp ears, Calian lifted his foot and gently kicked the man on the leg. “Since you found that, why didn’t you check further?”The man was caught off guard when Calian kicked him, but he felt more embarrassed than angry.Calian was, after all, their idol. It was an honor to have him lecture them.With this in mind, he lowered his head and told the situation of the night before, “We’ve done all the tests we can do, but none of them found the cause of the severe constriction and dilation of Mrs. Lawrence’s blood vessels. We only realized it when you said so.”Then, he explained guiltily, “Mrs. Lawrence was fine when she came to the hospital. Only last night did she suddenly have an attack. After our treatment, she returned to her original appearance without any abnormality.”“No abnormality is the biggest
Calian pondered for a few seconds, and his expression turned serious.“It’ll take three days for her blood vessels to soften, and if I don’t get something in three days…”Old Master Loewe did not need to say the rest for Byron to guess what would happen.If Calian failed to think of a way to cure Rosalie, she would surely be dead!Unless Byron agreed to Xander’s request!Although he had been prepared to do so, Old Master Loewe’s words broke his heart, and he was devastated.Andrius and Mary, who were beside Byron, looked shocked.Even Old Master Loewe could not develop an antidote to cure Rosalie?Xander’s poison was worse than they had thought.They tried to hide their shocked expression as Byron seemed devastated.Andrius asked calmly, “Old Master Loewe, what can we help you with?”Calian nodded. “Where’s the library? I need to look something up.”Andrius immediately responded. “I know a library open to readers of pharmaceutical industries. The books are also arranged in
Recalling those terms, Byron’s hands clenched into fists. He had nowhere to vent his rage, so he could only punch the wall.He could care less about anything now!If she did hate him, he had to let her be!Any sacrifice would be worth it to keep her alive.Even if it meant he had to yield to Xander’s demands.Everyone in the ward was busy all day.When they were done, Mary walked out and saw Byron at the door and was shocked. “Have you been standing outside here all this while?”Byron nodded. “How is she?”Mary sighed. “We’re unsure for now, but we’ve softened her veins. The treatment has to be continued tomorrow. Why don’t you go and accompany her now?”Byron could not make himself walk in as he stared at Rosalie.“Rosie would want you to be there for her,” Mary mentioned to Rosalie to convince Byron.Only then did Byron seem less tense.After a moment’s hesitation, he stepped in.After staying by Rosalie’s side all night, he saw no changes in Rosalie. That made him worri
Old Master Loewe! Even Yves was shocked to hear that name from Byron. He was surprised Byron was able to ask Old Master Loewe's help. What had taken him aback more was even Old Master Loewe could do nothing about Rosalie's condition! Otherwise, Byron would not be here today, looking for his help! "What else did Old Master Loewe say?" He was eager to know the outcome of Old Master Loewe's diagnosis. Byron's expression turned gloomy as he shook his head. "Old Master Loewe is looking for information now, trying to cure Rosalie." Yves's heart sank, and he pondered. "Let me think. I can certainly come up with something!" He was in prison now, and Rosalie was dying in the hospital room. Even Old Master Loewe did not have a way to save her! Yves forced himself to do something for her! The words Byron had just said played over and over in his mind. Byron's words played like a tape recorder repeatedly in his mind. However, minutes passed, yet no prescription emerged in his
Byron’s gaze turned cold upon hearing Yves telling him about Rosalie and Old Master Loewe’s story.Rosalie would be happy to wake and know Old Master Loewe had cured her.However, according to the situation now, keeping her alive was…“If there’s no way to cure her, I can only compromise to Xander’s conditions.”He uttered the words calmly.Yves was startled. He asked in a puzzle, “Xander’s conditions? What conditions?”He was certain Byron would not hesitate if it were only for profit.Byron looked Yves in the eyes and said, “All you need to know is that he wants me to marry another woman before Rosalie wakes up.”Shocked, Yves said, “Is he out of his mind? How could he say something like that?”“It was my negligence that led to Rosie becoming like this. I really should pay the price,” Byron said self-deprecatingly.It was just that this was a heavy price to pay.Yves looked at the man before him, and he was filled with complicated emotions.This man was willing to sacrifi
Byron approached Yves and questioned further, "So you’ve realized your past mistakes now?” Upon hearing this, Yves smiled bitterly. "What's the point of knowing my mistakes? I can never forgive myself for thinking I almost killed Dr. Jacobs because of my selfishness." He lifted his head, and his words were full of self-mockery and self-loathing. "Humans are the greediest beings. At first, I just wanted to work with Dr. Jacobs. I was satisfied just with that. Later, I wanted to stand in the closest position to her and become her deputy. I also wanted to be like you and let her notice me. My greed grew by the day, and it stacked. I don't even know what I was doing back then." There was still an inquisition in Byron's gaze, trying to distinguish the truth from the falsity of his words. Yves sighed. "Now that I think about it, I made two mistakes. The slightest mistake could have led to a disaster, whether it was the initial fire or later in the experiment. Dr. Jacobs and many r
