Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1118

“We will make sure it stays that way. However, it is urgent that you get yourself treated as there’s no way you can delay it,” Raina anxiously advised. “If you don’t trust the doctors here, we can invite those from overseas-”

“Enough,” Zachary interrupted. “That’s all for now.”

“Mr. Nacht…”

Just when Raina wanted to continue persuading, she held her tongue when she saw the look in Ben’s eye. With that, she lowered her head and left.

Ben knew that once Zachary had made his decision, no one was able to change it.

“Can it be Cynthia?” Ben probed. “When she was caught, she wasn’t remorseful at all. In fact, she tried to poison Ms. Lindberg. However, you managed to shield Ms. Lindberg at the crucial moment.”

“I suppose so.” Zachary had guessed the same. “Back then, I was splashed with a little bit of poison on my face. I didn’t expect such a minute amount to be able to seep into my body.”

“What a terrifying woman,” Ben hissed through his teeth.

Zachary remembered Cynthia’s lasts words before she left.

“You really do love her. Unfortunately, you will never be together in this lifetime. Soon, you will join me in hell…”

Back then, she had a vicious look on her face.

However, Zachary didn’t notice it due to his overconfidence.

He felt that he was invincible and couldn’t be hurt by a few drops of poison.

“I wonder if there’s an antidote. I’ll start looking right away.” Ben suddenly thought of a crucial detail. “Freya, who is in prison right now, and Taylor might know something about this. I’ll go over to Cynthia’s lab to see if I can find anything.”

“A long time has passed since then. An antidote would be useless even if there was one,” Zachary replied plainly. “There’s no need to waste your time.”

“Nevertheless, we should give it a try still.” Ben was desperate. “We can’t just sit here and do nothing.”

With that, he hurriedly left.

Sitting on the sofa, Zachary continued sipping his wine. Despite looking calm, his gaze gradually turned gloomy.
