Chapter 392
The veins on Leopold’s forehead were throbbing violently. His jaw was clenched tight. Each moment, he wanted nothing more than to wring her neck and tear her to pieces. But he held back, slowly releasing his clenched hand, because Aurelia was the most important at this time. He would settle this score later, once she was well.
“How do I know your cure will work?”
Megan pulled out a small glass vial from her pocket, filled with a clear liquid.
“This is a sample. You can have it tested at the research institute. You’ll know soon enough if it works.”
Leopold sent for Kevin, instructing him to take the sample to the local medical research institute immediately.
Soon, the institute called back. The antibiotics were effective against the superbug.
Leopold took a quiet, deep breath, “I can agree to your terms, but if you dare to play any games, leaving her with even a trace of aftereffect, I won’t just ensure you die a horrific death, and I will erase the entire Alcott family from Elysium.”
His words were packed with chilling warnings and icy killing intent, brutally cold.
It was as if Megan had been struck in her vulnerable spot, her shoulders trembling slightly. “Do you love her that much?”
Leopold didn’t answer, instead, his gaze drifted to Aurelia on the bed.
She was his life, half of his soul, more important than anyone else or anything else.
He could lose everything, but he could never lose her.
“She has to wake up first to sign the divorce papers because I can’t do it alone.”
Megan swallowed, saying, “I will bring the first dose of antibiotics. She needs to be injected once a month, for six months to completely eliminate the bacteria. If there’s any interruption, the bacteria will multiply again, and the attack on her body more severe. Remember this.”
Leopold clenched his fists in fury, the knuckles turning white.
Clearly, she was doing this on purpose, to trap him
Her face made him feel sick, and he wanted to crush her every single minute.
But for Aurelia, he had to endure.
As night fell, Kevin returned from the research institute
“The professors have thoroughly tested the antibiotics. Apart from an unknown phage, there are no harmful toxins. It’s saf
Leopold nodded slightly, hoping he could develop the same antibiotics soon so he wouldn’t be at Megan’s mercy.
Kevin lowered his voice, “This is most likely related to Megan. I suspect she fell into enemy hands during these six years. This was premeditated. They might have been targeting Aurelia for a long time
Leopold had already thought of this.
The person who had tried to assassinate him years ago was skilled at using biological weapons. Aurelia’s superbug infection could have been caused by the same person
“Keep a close watch on Megan’s every move”
Perhaps they could find the real culprit behind all this through her.
“Yes”
