Enrico looked at her, as if something was fluctuating in his eyes.
Paige looked at him, tracing his face with her gaze, and finally kissed his lips lightly, saying, “No one can really see the future. I only know that as long as I live, I will not let you go.”
She understood Annie’s thoughts.
She loved him so much that she could only part with him after she died. This arrow could only be shot after she died.
On hearing this, Enrico’s long eyelashes twitched, and his prominent Adam’s apple rolled up and down. Suddenly, he took her by the nape of the neck with one hand and kissed her, searching for her lips.
There was no passion.
It was more like the dependence of a child.
He kissed her, his long fingers climbing up her face, his index finger resting against the corner of her eye, rubbing her lips gently, slowly turning and mesmerized by her softness, their warm breaths intertwining, kissing her pale lips red…
Paige sat in his arms, quietly responding to him.
He closed his eyes and then opened them again. His eyes were deep as the silent night, lonely and vulnerable. She couldn’t help but extend her tongue and sweep it across them, trying to sweep away those emotions. Enrico’s body trembled again, and he followed her down for a deep kiss.
They kissed, in his mother’s room.
She told him that she loved him as his mother did.
“I won’t be Jeremy,” he whispered as he kissed her.
He assured her, in his mother’s room.
He would never let her end up like Annie.
“I know,” Paige said, kissing his thin lips gently.
Enrico, kissed by Paige, was like a cat that had its fur brushed, quickly losing its depression.
He sat in a chair hugging her and said, ‘The antidote should be here soon, let’s go out.”
“Hm,’ Paige nodded, about to get off him.
“Come on, you don’t even have the energy to walk after kissing me,”
Enrico snorted, and directly put his hands around her legs and picked her up.
He didn’t like the fact that she didn’t have the strength to kiss, so he kissed for so long?
Paige was a little speechless, and didn’t struggle in vain, “There are a lot of people outside, I can walk by myself.”
“You can’t walk.”
“…”
How come she can’t walk.
Enrico walked with her to the door, and was able to lift his hand to open the door, and then walked out proudly.
There were many people standing in the courtyard: Blanca, Brangelina, Alonso, Armen, a group of children, and some members of the Davis family. They were all stunned to see Enrico walk out of Annie’s room with Paige in his arms.
The people from outside are just so open.
“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well again?”
Blanca’s first thought was that Paige was uncomfortable again, so she hurriedly came forward and asked.
“No, I…”
Paige wanted to say that she was fine, but it seemed that this explanation was even weirder. She was fine, but she was being hugged in public, which made her seem pretentious. She could only say, “Is the antidote here yet?”
“It’s almost here.”
Blanca grabbed her hand and shook it, but it was still as cold as ice. ‘Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”
“Mmm,’ Paige smiled at her from Enrico’s embrace.
This time, since arriving in Country A, Paige had smiled at her so many times.
Blanca stood there and smiled back.
“…”
Alonso stood to the side, looking at the two of them with a slightly tense gaze.
…
Enrico carried Paige directly into the main house.
The old lady of the Davis family was sitting at the head of the table, and when she saw Enrico just walk in as usual, she said, “Sit down.”
Her tone was neither close nor distant.
It was especially flat.
Paige was carried by Enrico and sat down in the chair next to her.
The old lady was about to ask something when a group of people walked in, led by Jaden. He walked in with the doctor and the antidote, and walked up to the two of them, “Mr. Gustin, Miss.”
“Has the antidote been tested?”
Enrico asked coldly.
“There was half a bottle of antidote, and two pills were taken for testing. There is nothing wrong with it.”
Jaden immediately handed over the pill bottle in his hand and looked at the doctor beside him, “Hurry up and take a look at Miss.”
“Yes.”
The doctor quickly opened the medical kit in his hands, took out a stethoscope to listen to Paige, took her pulse, and finally took out an examination report and said, “This is the test report for the blood taken from Mrs. Gustin before. There are indeed signs of poisoning, and there is no problem using this antidote.”
Enrico took it over and looked at the data on it with a cold face.
Seeing this, Paige said, “Actually, there is no need to be so careful, there is no way there is a problem.”
Jeremy was not really mentally ill after all. He just dared to face his problems until the last moment of his life. Therefore, the last thing he said could not be false, and the antidote must be real.
“Take it and observe.”
Enrico did not have the slightest bit of trust in Jeremy, not to mention affection, even though the man was already dead.
Knowing that he was worried about her, Paige said nothing more, smiled, and took the antidote according to the doctor’s instructions.
“The antidote will neutralize the toxins in your body within two hours, and Mrs. Gustin will soon return to normal. However, the antidote for this poison is a bit harsh on the stomach, so you should eat lightly these days and eat more easily digested foods,” the doctor added.
“Okay, thanks,” Paige nodded.
“Now that the poison is out of the way, shall we get down to business?”
The old lady of the Davis family sat there looking on, and when she heard this, she asked with a serious expression.
Jaden led the doctor to withdraw.
Paige glanced at Enrico, who was sitting next to her, casually crossing one leg and looking at the old lady with his eyes. “That’s the truth. Jeremy tied up my wife, fed her poison, and forced her to find the antiques in the basement. Now Jeremy deserves to die. It’s as simple as that.”
The old lady looked at him, at the grey eyes that belonged to the Davis family, and raised her hand to touch her neatly combed white hair. “So this is ultimately about the Davis family and The Gustin family’s villa. And the Folsom family… what about them?”
The old lady was old, but her eyes were particularly sharp. She looked directly at Blanca, but didn’t ask her, “Alonso, did you find out?”
Alonso stood aside and, upon hearing this, stepped forward and said, “They came with this Mrs. Gustin.”
“You also came to rescue her?”
The old woman looked at Blanca and Brangelina. Although these two women were old, they did not have the temperament of ordinary people, and did not seem like attendants taking orders from others.
“Old lady, you don’t need to guess. We, the Folsom family, have no interest in the Davis family at all. Once Paige is gone, we will leave.”
Blanca stood up from her chair and looked at the old woman with cold eyes, speaking with neither humility nor arrogance.
“We should really be leaving now,” Paige added.
Now that things were settled, she hadn’t been able to get the solution to the Ferris wheel plan from Jeremy, and there were still many things waiting for them to do outside.
They couldn’t afford to waste any more time.
Upon hearing this, the old woman said, “I believe for the time being that you don’t have another agenda, but you can’t leave yet.”
Was she trying to force them to stay?
Paige was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to ask, the old lady already looked at Enrico and said, “You have to stay and kneel in the ancestral hall and worship your ancestors.”
“Didn’t he already worship?” Paige blurted out. When Enrico was pretending to be Alonso, he was escorted to the outside of the ancestral hall to worship.
“That doesn’t count, that was me deliberately letting someone fool him,” the old lady snorted.
Cheating on the Davis family and not having to pay a price?
“…”
Enrico looked at the old lady incredulously.
Played him for a fool?
