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
Yves snapped out of his daze, yet he was in disbelief. He nodded in a daze. Byron retracted his gaze and said, "I also want to thank you for what you said. I’ll stick to curing her, and Rosie will surely get better." Yves had let go of all of his obsessions. "Yes, she’ll get better. Please inform me when you get married. I'll send my blessings." Byron nodded. They looked into each other's eyes and said nothing more. Yves watched Byron leave and was sent back to his cell in a prison escort car. Byron recalled what Yves told him when he left the prison, and his emotion gradually calmed down. He had done all he could. The rest he could do was wait. All he had to do was wait for the doctors to think of something to wake Rosalie, or he could wait until he had to yield to Xander. Before that, the only thing he could do was be by Rosalie's side. With this in mind, he stepped onto the accelerator and headed to the hospital..By the time he got to the hospital, it was evening
After Mary left, the ward was silent again.“Rosie, don’t worry. Everyone is already trying to save you. Old Master Loewe is also here with Andrius. They’re searching for information to save you. I believe he can come up with something. I’m sure you wish to see him too.”Byron spoke patiently, knowing the person on the bed could not hear him.“I already know Lucian and Nox are my kids. I’m sorry that I didn’t find out earlier that they’re my children, and I’m glad that I didn’t have any opinion about them after thinking they were someone else’s children. You did a good job raising them, but I didn’t do a good job with our daughter...“We brought up three children in an incomplete family because of me. Now that I know the truth, I want to make it up to you, but only if you wake up. You’ll pull through for the children, won’t you?”He rubbed his finger on Rosalie’s hand. His grip tightened subconsciously. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke the rest of what was on his mind in d
In the ward, the doctors were busy just now but were now walking out of Rosalie’s ward. Their expressions showed that the situation was not optimistic.None dared to look at Byron’s expression when they walked to the door.“So, how’s everything?”Mary stood by him, and Byron asked.Something was on Mary’s mind, and she seemed to be in a daze when Byron spoke to her. She only answered after a few seconds, and her expression did not look good.“Rosie…”Although doctors had been trying to soften the blood vessels, the effect had been minimal, and Rosalie’s condition did not seem promising.Mary could only try to support Rosalie silently and convince herself Rosalie would be fine.She could see Byron had not slept the night before even though he had said he would get some sleep. His facial complexion looked almost as pale as Rosalie’s now.Rosalie hesitated, not knowing how to say what was on her mind.He looked at her firmly, and he sounded firm. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll never l
