Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 1161

Chapter 1161 Cannot Say 

“Going home?” Kate couldn’t figure out what Alex was trying to do. Emmalyn’s illness hasn’t been cured yet, so why is Alex planning to take her home? Does he not want to treat her? 

“Yes. Home.” Carrying Emmalyn in his arms, Alex walked out of the hospital room because he knew her illness couldn’t be cured there. He had to find a solution on his own. Staying in the hospital was not only inconvenient, but it also made it easier for people with ill intentions to sneak in. After all, he still didn’t know the nature of the poison or who was responsible for it. 

Mason wanted to follow Alex and see if the latter could really cure the little girl. If Alex could, it would be a miracle in the medical world. 

He had just stepped out of the ward when a nurse stopped him. “Dr. Wren, there’s a surgery that requires. your expertise. Could you please come over?” 

Mason couldn’t help but take one last lingering look at the retreating figure of Alex. In the end, he didn’t follow the latter and instead went with the nurse to the operating room. 

“How could such a thing happen, Alex? Emmalyn is still so young. How could anyone poison her?” Zachary asked, puzzled after learning about the situation at the Jefferson residence. 

A whole day had passed, but Alex still couldn’t find the cause of Emmalyn’s poisoning. The poison in the girl’s body was just too strange, and he couldn’t understand it. 

If Alex could discover the cause of the poisoning, he would be able to synthesize a cure. However, he knew nothing about it. Additionally, Emmalyn was only a little over a year old, so she simply couldn’t withstand too much experimentation. 

“I’m not sure either. We must figure out what kind of poison it is. Right now, we’re like headless flies, not knowing where to start,” Alex sighed. 

Alex felt a pang of heartache as he watched Emmalyn, who was about to fall asleep in his arms again. It seems that the previous method of using my Mortal Force to suppress the poison in her body has lost its effectiveness. If this continues, Emmalyn’s situation will only become more dangerous. When the poison starts to corrode her internal organs, it will cause irreparable damage to her body. 

Kate, who had been listening to Alex’s words, felt extremely conflicted in her heart. From what Alex was saying, it seems that if they know the cause of the poisoning, they’ll be able to concoct an antidote and save Emmalyn. However, if they do, it’ll undoubtedly expose the fact that I secretly learned the dark skill of sacrificing a child’s life from Insect Codex. In that scenario, Alex will definitely not forgive me. 

Upon thinking about that, Kate felt a bit hesitant in her heart. At this point, Butch’s situation is basically stable, considering he’s able to provide me with the internal organs of more than ten children every month. If things continue like this, in less than two years, the dark skill I’ve been practicing will finally be fruitful. I’m too infatuated with the satisfaction that power brings me to stop. Okay, I’ve decided what I should do now. Even if Emmalyn dies from poison, I still won’t reveal the truth. At worst, I’ll find a way to bed with Alex again. If we lose the child, we can always have another one. After all, I’m still young and have plenty of opportunities.
