“No, it’s not like that, Mr. John. Please listen to my explanation. I said no antidote means Ms. Stovall doesn’t need an antidote. She had fully recovered from the poison a few years ago!”
Hearing that, John’s anger subsided. However, in the next second, his gaze turned cold again. He lifted Dr. Perez off the ground and queried through his gritted teeth, “What the hell is going on? You’d better tell me everything now!”
After all, John used to be a frivolous and vicious young man in K City. When he was angry, the aura exuded was quite terrifying. Gripped by an irrepressible sense of dread, Dr. Perez started to twitch, and his eyes turned white.
Old people always got shocked easily.
Seeing that, John’s heart softened. He loosened his grip, although he was angry at that time.
Just as Dr. Perez fell to the ground, a young researcher who was standing beside him took a bottle of medicine and passed it to the former. After breathing in the medicine deeply a few times, his condition became better.
As soon as Dr. Perez let out a long exhale, John bent down to grab the medicine and raised it above the former’s head. Then, he continued to ask with a dour expression, “I don’t have much patience. Count yourself lucky just now. Next time, no one will bring you medicine. Quick, spill the beans!”
Upon hearing that, Dr. Perez and the young researcher looked at each other with the conflicted looks on their faces while sneaking a peek at Ashton from every now and then.
Rather than saying they were afraid of John, it seemed more like they were darting their inquiry gazes at Ashton.
Soon, John had also noticed that, so he turned to look at Ashton. At that, his expression changed.
