Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 489

Chapter 493

Nevertheless, Hanson didn't appear to be concerned at all, his eyes suddenly becoming sympathetic. "Don't move, darling. Let me check out your skin." After all, they had come into contact with the poison earlier today, and he wanted to make sure Vania's skin was fine.

In the face of the man's sudden change in his emotions, Vania became confused since she didn't see that coming at all. "I'm fine, so don't worry about me." She then tried to put her shirt back on even though Hanson was halfway through taking it off. When she felt his cold fingertips rubbing against her skin, she felt the burning desire growing even stronger inside her body.

"Darling, what happened to you earlier today broke my heart." Hanson stared at her blushed cheeks, thinking his trick was working. However, he continued to show a sympathetic expression on his face.

In the meantime, Vania, whose heart was racing, didn't notice that the shirt she had just put back on was undone by Hanson once again. At that moment, Hanson's fingers felt as if they were torches, lighting up the lady's skin on fire as they touched her.

When the man got even closer, Vania realized he had been trying to distract her all the time. Sensing how fast he was able to switch between emotions, Vania sarcastically reckoned that he should put his talent to good use by becoming an actor. "Darling…" Hanson moaned again, keeping his face down as he was filled with sympathy and desire at the same time.

…

Meanwhile, things were less harmonious with Eddie who had already shifted to another secret base—White Island Villa. While the building seemed to be uninhabited for quite a while, it appeared to be rather desolate without any fancy decorations.

At that moment, Eddie sat in front of the window while Brandon bowed down to him and maintained that position for almost an hour. Despite the pain and sweat, he was feeling, he remained still and quietly waited for Eddie's wrath.

After all, all the foundational work that they had spent so much time and energy laying down in Hammond had all been destroyed by Hanson effortlessly. Thus, Brandon could understand why Eddie was so angry.

Soon, Eddie clenched his fists so hard that his finger joints started to pop, his face blanching intimidatingly. "You're going to die a horrible death, Hanson…" He snarled and threw a punch at the window, shattering the glass instantly.

"Watch out for your hand, Young Master Eddie. Your hand is too precious to be wounded by the glass." Only then was Brandon brave enough to move and stop Eddie.

Eddie stared at his bleeding hand and said, "I'm going to make Hanson pay even more for what happened today." He then turned his attention to Brandon. "Bring the guy from the lab to me. I want to ask him what kind of lousy poison he just made."

I thought there wasn't a cure for the poison. If so, why is Hanson safe now? The same thing happened last time. Is that guy undercover or something?

Knowing Hanson wanted to vent out his anger by killing the guy from the lab, Brandon quickly dissuaded him and said, "Young Master Eddie, this has nothing to do with the guy from the lab. It's Hanson who found The Great Chemist."

"The Great Chemist?" Eddie's face became even more hideous. I've been searching for The Great Chemist for five years, yet Hanson beat me to it.

"The Great Chemist is actually the little girl by his side." Brandon then showed Eddie a portrait of Lily's face.

"Good." Eddie smiled sinisterly. "If we can't have her, we're going to destroy her. Come up with something. If possible, I want her to serve me loyally."

"What a brilliant move, Young Master Eddie. I'll get on with it now."

On the other hand, Lilith, who was listening in on the men's conversation, felt her heart skipping a beat. After all, she knew she would outlive her usefulness if Eddie had Lily by his side. Therefore, she mustn't allow that to happen, determined to assert her dominance over her rightful place by Eddie's side.
