Edana’s pov
He interrupted me directly, “There is nothing but, you are not by my side, I cannot live at all, but why should I detoxify?”
“Do not say that. If you die, what is the point of my life?”
He recognized other meanings in my words, “What do you mean? You went to save me?”
I did not want to tell him, but I knew he kept his word, and if he died, I could not live anymore, “The woman said if I left, she would develop an antidote to save you.”
“For that reason? When did you become like this? You used to hate evil. You should just snap her neck instead of listening to her talk so much nonsense.”
“I want to, but I can not let you die. It’s worse than my own death.”
He hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear, “I am sorry, it’s my fault. Do you want us to go back? The kid is still waiting for us at home. He’ll be worried.”
“Is that really possible?” I looked at him expectantly.
“Of course, this woman has been arrested by me. She can not get away. If I find the drugs she is hiding, I will shoot her on sight.”
“The poison on you…” I still have a lot of worries. What if the woman thinks I went back on my word and will not give Austin the rest of the antidote.
“You do not have to worry about that. Really, I still want you to give me a princess and grow old with you. How can I die so quickly?”
After listening to his words, I finally lost control of my mind and followed him home.
Although the woman was locked up, she was very arrogant and did not feel guilty at all.
Austin sent many people to check, but they were ruthlessly chased away. Austin had to make a trip himself.
“Are you finally ready to come?” She looked at Austin charmingly, but the expression caused nausea.
“Come on, what do you want?” Austin asked impatiently.
“I am going to be your wife, of course. Now that your yellow-faced wife is gone, you must be lonely.”
“I am not here to tell you that. What about the rest of the drugs? Where did you hide them?”
“Do not be so rude. Do you have to talk about these things when you play with me?”
“Or tell me what to talk about.”
“In that case it is not impossible that I should tell you, unless you promise me a request, and in due time I will not only give you the rest of the antidote, but tell you the place where the drug is hidden.”
Austin looked disgusted, but to make the woman in front of him believe, he had to put on a cold smile, “OK, go ahead, what terms?”
“You stay with me for a month, during that time you are mine alone.”
Austin grinned and shook his head.
“Do not you want that?” The woman thought he was going to refuse.
“No, I mean, is your request that simple?”
“So you said yes?” Surprise can’t be hidden in the woman’s tone.
“Yes, so you are satisfied?”
“Of course.”
“Then take a good bath, but come to my room at night.”
Austin stood up and walked out without hesitation.
“OK, we will be there at night or in the square.” The woman did not care at all for Austin’s disgust, for she only wanted the man before her.
That evening the woman shamelessly came to the room. Austin poured her a glass of red wine, and the woman drank it down without thinking.
“Honey, when should we start?” Women can not wait.
“What’s the rush? I am going to take a bath first. Wait a minute.”
Austin turned around, the smile on his face disappearing completely and replaced with a look of nausea.
Austin came out of the bathroom and turned off the light.
What happened next satisfied the woman so much that she woke up the next day so excited that she would have preferred to leave right then and there.
However, she could not leave the room at all.
Austin entered the room, not wanting to talk any nonsense to her at all, and asked directly about the whereabouts of the drugs, but the woman just did not say anything, and she had to drive people crazy.
“I told you if you came with me for a month, it would all be yours when the time came. What’s your hurry now?”
Austin was somber. He had not expected any woman in the world to be so shameless. She turned and left the room.
In the next few days, the same drama would play out in the room.
After a long time, I was very excited to wait at home. Austin lived in the camp and has not come back for a long time. I do not know if the woman played any tricks and if the poison relapsed on him.
I could not control my worry and had to set out to find him.
When he got there, he was surprised at my appearance, “Why are you here?”
“I am worried about you. What does it look like? Has your poison returned?”
He looked at me tenderly and pampered, “No, do not worry about me.”
“How can I not worry? You do not know how much I am suffering these days. I wait at home every day for news, but you do not show up. I want to come to you, but I am afraid of being a burden to you.”
“How can you be a burden to me? Even if there is one, she’s cute.”
“Do not be poor, this woman, did you give the antidote?”
When we got back to business, he put his arm around my shoulder and shook his head. “He is a very difficult man, and I can give no effective clues as yet.”
He told me nothing of his arrangement with the woman, but I faintly felt that something was wrong in his tone.
He led me to the guest room, and I asked doubtfully, “How did you sleep in the guest room this time? Did not you sleep in the bedroom before?”
“It does not make any difference. For me, work is the most important thing. Life is something at hand.” He said this symbolically, and I did not ask too many questions.
That day, I heard a strange noise coming from the upstairs bedroom. I slowly walked up the stairs, and there was a woman standing in the doorway. It was none other than the evil woman. She was naked at that moment. Why is she here?
The guard also faltered, “Madam, you should ask Austin yourself. I do not think it’s appropriate for us to tell you.”
