My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 

Lily kept her head down, the brim of her cap casting a shadow over her face. Though the others couldn’t see her expression, they could feel the sudden tension in the room. She stood there like a demon from hell, exuding a chilling air

Sensing something wrong, Loid asked softly, What happened?” 

Lily looked at him and replied coldly, My grandmother had a relapse. The hospital and the Medical Research Institute are out of the special antidote.” 

Loid’s face fell. He patted her head gently. Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out.” 

With that, he stepped out with his phone.. 

Lily stood frozen for a long moment before finally moving. As she turned around to leave, she cast a fierce glance at the Lauriers, making them feel at shiver run down their spines

Then, without a word, she walked out the door

Loid made several calls, his expression growing darker with each one. After the last call, he looked at Lily and said, This morning, someone took all the special antidotes from the research institute, and the hospital’s supply was stolen. There’s none left in the entire country.” 

His tone was as cold as ever

Loid had already provided the hospital with extra antidotes just in case someone with malicious intentions wanted to target Belinda. Yet, he hadn’t anticipated that someone would take all the special antidotes

Hearing that, Lily looked up at him. I need to make a call.” 

Finding a secluded spot, she opened her WhatsApp, found Elliot’s contact, and videocalled him. 

Elliot quickly answered. Seeing a young face on the other end, Elliot was momentarily stunned. Who are you? Why do you have K’s phone?It’s me, K,Lily said, her face expressionless

Elliot was speechless for a long while. He was utterly shocked. He thought he was hearing things. Who did you say you were?” 

Lily’s patience was wearing thin, so she cut to the chase. Can you get some special antidote from the research institute? I need it urgently.” 

Seeing her solemn expression, Elliot glanced at the number again and confirmed she was indeed K. He was flabbergasted. Wow, you’re really K? You’re a girl and so young? I must be seeing things!” 

Lily’s expression darkened, and she frowned. I’m not in the mood for jokes!” 

Elliot snapped back to reality at her tone and quickly got serious. I’ll look into it right away.” 

After ending the video call, he hurriedly started his investigation

He had known K for very long but had never seen her reveal her true face. For her to be this anxious and risk exposure meant the situation was dire. Soon, Elliot found what he was looking for and called Lily back

Lily answered immediately, Found anything?”
