She was evidently stunned, “Why, why did you not tell me?”
“I did not want to worry you. I thought I could hold out with you until the wedding day. Unexpectedly, I overestimated my physical condition. I am sorry, but it seems I will live up to you in the end.”
“Do not say things like that again, you’ll make it, and I will not let you. If you dare to die, I definitely will not let you go.”
“If I can always be by your side, of course I will.”
“In that case, let the doctor treat you. They are already trying their best to develop an antidote. It will not be long before your poison can be dissolved.”
I knew she was comforting me and did not want her to be too sad, so I had to nod and promise. To tell the truth, this kind of poison really does kill people. If it was not for getting along better with Edana, I would only want to spend a second on it. I do not think I can hold out until now.
Every few days I am injected with a newly developed antidote, but it has no effect at all. Edana was worried.
Edana’s perspective
I am Frank’s wife. We love each other and agreed to protect each other for life and never separate, but reality separates us with medicine.
This time he was poisoned by a girl of unknown origin while on duty, but he did not tell me the whole time so as not to worry me because he knew he could not hold out. He loved me so much that he could not even take his own life, but I could not care less. If I lost him, what would be the point of the world?
That day, as I was on the balcony thinking about how to save him, a girl suddenly appeared by the sea, limping as if she were injured.
I wonder, this is a private venue. How did she get in and hurt herself?
Although there are many question marks, it does not rule out that she got lost here and got injured.
I went downstairs to check.
“Nurse, can you help me?” She said to me compassionately.
“What’s the matter with you?”
“I sprained my ankle and I can not walk anymore.”
I checked it and it really was sprained, so I helped her upstairs and wiped her medicine off.
As I was concentrating on wiping the medicine off, I felt a breeze on the back of my neck. With many years of combat experience, I lightly grabbed her hand and saw the fine needle in her hand, “Who are you and how did you get here? What is the purpose?”
“You do not have to worry about how I got here, just know that I am Frank’s future wife and the future hostess of this family.”
Considering her young age, I did not expect her to be such a person, “You really are a desired candidate.”
“Hmph.” She grinned, making people cringe, “Are you sure you want this man to live well, or do you want to see him die for the so-called true feelings?”
What did she mean by that line, “You poisoned Frank?”
“Yes, why?” She admitted bluntly.
“Why do you do it?”
“Because I want him to be my husband.”
“You are just insane. That’s why you made him that way.”
“Of course, if you want something, you have to do what it takes.”
“You are selfish, not loving at all.”
“So what? All I want is this man. What does it matter if he loves me or not?”
I took a deep breath and said, “So, what exactly do you want to do?”
“I want you to leave him.”
“Impossible.” I said firmly.
“Then you’ll wait and die of poisoning. What I can not get, you certainly will not get.” I am really angry to the extreme. How could this girl …
No, she does not deserve the title of “girl” which stands for purity and goodness.
In the confrontation that followed, I learned her identity. She was the daughter of the drug dealer who was shot. She had never been subjected to rigorous training and had long since turned into a murderous demon.
I suddenly panicked. What was I going to do with my child?
I went to the hospital with Frank and told him nothing. I did not want to bother him any more.
But his condition was getting more serious, and he still pretends to be brave to comfort me.
“You do not have to worry about me, go home and keep yourself busy with the wedding. I’ll be fine soon. If the wedding screws, how can I be worthy of you?”
I cried and smiled, “You son of a bitch, is not that kind of thing for you men? You are letting me do this. If you really want to marry me, then you should quickly get up and get out of here and get everything done. Otherwise, I will not marry you.”
“No, no, no, I am very afraid that you will not marry me. OK , I will. If I get better, you do not have to do anything, just be the happiest bride in the world.”
My heart is very touched: “OK, that’s what you said. If you dare to break your promise, I will definitely beat you to death.”
“Yes, yes, my wife.”
He can wake up for a short time, and soon, without saying a word, he has to rest again.
I come into the examination room and ask the doctor about him.
“Doctor, has the virus progressed on Frank yet?”
They shook their heads, very helpless but rather guilty, “The situation is not good, his poison is too complicated, and it’s difficult for us to develop an antidote in a short time.”
“So, can his current situation last until you develop an antidote?”
“We will try our best.”
How helpless a word, from their tone I can already tell what they mean.
I am standing outside the ward now, looking at him in a coma, and my mood is very complicated.
He is the light in my life. In my hardest days he has been with me, but in his hardest and most painful days I was helpless. In the end, I was too incompetent.
I can not let him die, I can not.
I thought of what the girl said before I died. I came to a place where no one was and dialed the phone.
“Hello, who is it?”
“It’s me.”
“It’s you. What can I do for you?”
I did not want to waste a moment with her. I got straight to the point, “You said earlier that as long as I left Frank, you would develop an antidote to save him, right?”
“Of course, I am a man of my word. Besides, he’s about to become my husband. I certainly can not let him die like this.”
“Fine, I’ll do what you want, but you’d better keep your word or I’ll break your neck for sure.”
When I got home and looked at my son who knew nothing, my heart was really unbearable.
“Mom, you are back. You do not know where you have been lately. I am so bored, home alone.”
I smiled at him, “Baby, mommy and daddy have been busy lately, so they do not have as much time to be with you. You should learn to be independent and remember that you are a man. In the future, you can protect your father.”
“Dad is so strong, he almost protects me.”
I smiled gently, “Yes, Papa is the most powerful person in the world.”
“Hmm.”
He answered me wisely.
“Mama has to leave the house for a few days in the last two days. Will you be obedient?”
“Where are you going, mama? When will you be back?”
I choked back the tears and did not fall over, “Mama does not know, but I’ll be back soon when I am busy so you will not have to miss me too much.”
“Alright then.”
I knew I did not have much time left, so I just packed a few things and left.
The woman kept her promise. After I left, he went to the hospital and gave Austin half of the antidote.
However, she was not so lucky. As she was about to leave, she was caught by Austin’s bodyguard.
“Who are you? Why are you here? What is this conspiracy?”
“Do not be so nervous, I am here to give her an antidote.”
The woman was restrained and the doctor examined Austin and found that half of the poison had been tied off on him.
Soon Austin woke up and saw the woman.
“It is you! How dare you come here?”
“I dare not come. What’s the problem?”
“You have been so bad to me, are not you afraid I’ll kill you?”
“Do not worry, I only have the antidote. If you kill me, you will not live much longer.”
“I would rather die than be controlled by you.”
“Hmph, very good, that’s worthy of a man I have a crush on and a temper.”
“Shut up, those words make me sick.”
“What’s good about that old woman in your family? I am young and beautiful, are not I?”
“You do not deserve to be compared to her.”
He said and had his bodyguard put the woman down.
As his condition improved, he suddenly remembered that he had not seen me in the hospital for a long time. He quickly left the hospital and went home, but he could not find me anywhere.
I know he must be crazy, but I can not help it. If my departure can be changed for his safety, I would rather sacrifice myself.
When he learned of my departure, he was inconsolable and sent people everywhere to look for me.
Why did you come to me?
How can I strengthen my heart when you are like this?
With his power, I am sure he found me soon.
“Austin? Why are you here?” I knew he would find me, but I did not expect it to be so soon.
“If I do not come to you, will you decide never to come to me again?”
I do not dare look him in the eye, afraid I’ll change my mind.
“Go back, I am not going back with you.”
“No, you are my wife. How can I let you suffer outside?”
“I am not bitter, you go, your illness is not good, do not be too tired.”
“If you really care about me, you will go back with me. Only when you are by my side will I have the motivation to live.”
“But…”
