Gonzalec’s grandpa and Silas went out of the room. Gonzalec stood far away and looked around. He was then surprised when he saw that Silas and his grandpa came out from the room safe and sound.
Gonzalec was genuinely afraid of his grandfather as he thought that the old man would pull up some dirty tricks towards Silas.
Silas said calmly, “Take your grandfather along with you when we leave as he is no longer young. What if something happens to him here?”
“But…” How would Gonzalec be willing to do so? Come to think of it, his grandfather was the poison in their family and things would get messy if he brought his grandfather along with him.
Gonzalec’s grandfather was not foolish to expect that his grandson would take him away. However, he was still saddened by his grandson’s behavior.
His grandpa waved his hand and said, “I’m used to living here and will not be able to adjust to a new environment. You can go now and don’t worry about me.”
“Has he given you everything? Do you mind if I take a look?” Gonzalec did not look at his grandfather but threw a question at Silas instead.
Silas glanced at him with a fake smile, “Are you sure that you want to see it?”
“Yes, I want to have a peek.”
“Alright then!” Silas reached into his pocket and gave him a fluffy and soft thing. Gonzalec let out a scream and threw it away instantly.
His limbs went cold as soon as he saw a huge centipede lying on the ground. He couldn’t speak clearly and mumbled, “This… this…”
“This is the antidote! One shall fight fire with fire!” Silas replied with a blank expression.
He then took out about three to four more of them from his pocket and said, “Here you go!”
Gonzalec screamed and stormed out of the wooden house. His grandpa shook his head as he watched Gonzalec run for his life, “Young man, I know you are skillful and talented, but please don’t hurt my family! I’m begging you!”
“Don’t worry. We will leave them alone as long as the antidote is effective.”
When Gonzalec returned, he was much more well-behaved and sat at the back row of the car obediently.
The bodyguard took the wheel and Silas, who was sitting behind, sent a message to William, “Sir, I have obtained the antidote, but there is only one portion. We can’t save Miss Clark at the moment, but I have the formula.”
“Good! Is Gonzalec behaving welll?” William asked.
“Nope, but he won’t be able to do anything tricky under my watch!”
William trusted Silas a lot as he had served William for many years. Now that he had gotten ahold of the antidote and formula, he could take things further by planning his next move.
Valeria was taking a nap and William was in a good mood as he told Bobby about the antidote.
Bobby was also delighted and said, “You don’t have to worry as long as the antidote is effective. You can then seek your revenge and destroy them one after another.”
William laughed and said, “I still have to get rid of them even if the antidote doesn’t work. It’s not my style to let them mess around for such a long time.”
“Sir, what are you planning to do?” Bobby rubbed his hands and asked.
“I want to fight fire with fire. However, I’m still not sure whether it will be successful or not.”
“Sir, your idea will never fail!” Bobby was very confident in William.
William laughed and said, “Arrange someone to keep an eye on Natasya and Raelyn. By the way, how’s Talitha doing nowadays?”
“Talitha has been laying low in the hotel and has not stepped out once,” Bobby replied.
“Wow! I won’t be able to use my plan if she doesn’t budge. I hope that she makes a move on Anthony as I will then be able to help her out!”
Valeria then woke up and rubbed her eyes as she called out to her husband.
William entered the ward and reached out to help her up. He helped Valeria to put on her clothes and shoes, as well as pour a glass of water for her.
Valeria took a sip of water and stretched herself, “I’m starving. I want to have something.”
“You’re such a foodie,” William smiled and continued, “Here comes the dessert that you asked for. However, I didn’t ask the servant to get you the spicy hotpot as it is not good for your health.”
“You’re so petty,” Valeria muttered as she had two bites of cake, “I’m really craving for spicy hotpot! As well as spicy shrimp, hot pepper chicken, beef…”
“You can have them all after you have given birth.”
“You always say the same thing to me,” Valeria pouted at her lips.
“Alright, stop pouting. I have good news for you.”
“Did you manage to find the antidote?” Valeria immediately asked.
“Yes! Silas just sent me a message and we’ll have it by tomorrow morning.”
Valeria was overjoyed when he heard that Silas had already returned home after getting the antidote.
“Honey, does this mean that you’ll be able to remember me soon?”
“Theoretically, yes. However, we still have no idea about the potency of the antidote, right?”
“The antidote must be effective!” Valeria prayed.
William couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Honey, don’t you think that it’s too late to pray at this moment?”
“No, it’s not! Nothing will go wrong for me as I’m a loving wife who is kind, beautiful, and adorable! I will be on top of the world if you regained your memories, but it’s fine if you don’t. I will be satisfied if it cures your headache. Your suffering is my suffering, and your happiness is my happiness. We are a team!”
William was moved and he lowered his head to give her a gentle kiss, “Don’t worry. The antidote will definitely be effective as my wife has a big heart!”
“Hubby, what present do you want for your birthday?” Valeria asked William.
“Me? I’ll be happy as long as it’s from you.”
“That’s too sloppy. I want to deliver our baby as a birthday gift for you. However, since you already know about it, I have trouble thinking about what to give you on your birthday.”
William smiled when he saw her frown, and he leaned over to her ear, “You’re the birthday gift that I want!”
“What?” Valeria was confused.
“They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I still have not tasted you yet. How about an adventurous night together on my birthday?”
Valeria was embarrassed and said, “You are so cheeky! I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”
“I’m telling you the truth. I’ve been so miserable these days for being unable to take things further with you. It’s simply torturing! My dear wife, please find a way to help me out.”
“No! Not now! I really can’t do it right now!” Valeria shook her head.
She knew that William had been suppressing himself. However, she was currently pregnant and did not want to take any risk for the sake of her pregnancy.
“Can you think of another way?” William asked her patiently.
“What’s the other way?” Valeria asked with her eyes wide open.
“Do you still need me to remind you? How can you be so simple-minded? You’re too naive!” William murmured.
“How dare you! William, are you asking for trouble?” Valeria raised her eyebrows and glared at William.
“I’m sorry! Please forgive me, my lovely wife! I won’t comment on your naiveness anymore. From now on, I will say that you are dumb instead!”
“Wow, looks like someone is crossing the line! Wait and see how I’ll kick your a*s!” Valeria tiptoed and tried to grab William’s ear. He didn’t flinch as she pinched his ear.
Valeria was pleased with herself and asked, “Do you still dare to badmouth me?”
“No, never!” William nodded intensely.
“Say that your wife is the most beautiful, smartest, and the best in the world!”
The sound of a dry cough had emerged behind Valeria. She then looked over and saw Hayden with his hands behind his back, alongside several bodyguards and Lucas.
