Husband

“Oh yeah? I don’t think you’re capable of that!” Ramon was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight with Adam. 

Adam could not bear with Ramon anymore and cried, “Dr. Miracle Ballshit! You can’t even identify a poison. You’re nothing but a charlatan.” 

wo young men swung their fists at each other. Vera and Dayton almost failed to stop them. i nately, the people delivered the skin mask from the hospital in time. With that, Vera had a chance to take Ramon away. 

While Vera dragged Ramon to the door, Ramon kept shouting, “Adam, just you wait! If you don’t bow to me three times after I save Carlos, you won’t be able to walk out of this door…” 

Adam did not want to be outdone, so he shouted, “I’m here waiting for your great news! As long as you save Mr. Monroe, I’ll bow to you a hundred times, not to mention three bows.” 

Vera was speechless, thinking, ‘Are those two adults?‘ 

Soon, Vera and Ramon arrived at the testing lab that the Monroe family prepared for Ramon. Then, Vera discovered that the human skin mask was a pile of fragments. 

She thought, ‘Obviously, Adam doesn’t trust us. So, he asked the hospital staff to cut off some fragments for us to identify the poison instead of sending the whole human skin mask over. 

However, one more minute of delay could mean death for Carlos. Therefore, Vera abandoned all distracting thoughts and seized every second. 

Fortunately, Vera and Ramon had a tacit understanding of each other. They divided the work and determined the poison in the shortest time. 

“It’s Eternal Verdure! I can’t believe it! Wasn’t it supposed to be extinct? You can’t even get it at the Dark Market,” Ramon exclaimed, growing more worried. He asked urgently, “We only have half of the prescriptions. Can we make an antidote?” 

Vera frowned tightly and said, “Before I fell into the sea, someone poisoned me with a light dose of Eternal Verdure. 

“So, after the Monroe family rescued me, the hospital couldn’t help me. It led to the loss of my memory, and I struggled with forgetfulness for the next three years. My health was poor, and I kept gaining weight.” 

She thought, ‘However, after marrying Carlos, I took a lot of medicine to get pregnant. By accident, the remaining poison in my body was removed 

‘I don’t want my family to be persecuted by that poison. So, in the five years since I returned to the Ford family, I kept working hard to develop an antidote. I have experimented on animals, and the effect was decent. 

“But I’m not sure what would happen if Carlos ate it. 

Carlos had been heavily poisoned, and Vera lacked confidence in dealing with it. 

Vera said, “A gamble is our only choice now.” She was about to remind Ramon that he should escape through the dog hole if she could not succeed, and the Ford family’s bodyguards were there to pick him up. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

However, before Vera could say it, Adam came to rush her. It was because Adam had sent his people to check a few times. 

“Have you found out what poison it is? Mr. Monroe seems to be on the edge of death. 

on was furious when he saw Adam. He grabbed Adam’s collar and asked, “Do you dare to take a Samble? 

“Bet on what?” Adam pushed Ramon away angrily. “I’m warning you, don’t play any tricks.” 

“We have the antidote. You decide whether to give it to Carlos or not.” Ramon tried his best to look extremely sincere. 

Adam narrowed his eyes and asked, “What do you mean?” 

“There’s a risk in detoxification. If Carlos has any adverse reactions, you will have to bear all the consequences.” Before Ramon could finish his words, Adam dragged Ramon’s collar and carried him into the bedroom. 

Adam warned, “Mr. Monroe lives, you live. Mr. Monroe dies, you die!” He added fiercely. “Understand?” 

Ramon retorted inside, ‘I don’t understand. You’re being unreasonable.’ 

However, by the time Ramon and Adam reached the bedroom, Vera had administered the antidote to Carlos. She also prepared a corresponding infusion based on Carlos’s physique to counteract the effects of those potent medicines. 

Dayton stood at the side to help Vera. 

Having served the Monroe family for many years, Dayton recalled each family member’s allergy to medicines. He pondered, ‘Vivian can flawlessly avoid all the drugs Mr. Monroe is allergic to. I’m increasingly convinced she is Mrs. Monroe.‘ 

With that thought, he felt much more at ease. He thought, ‘Mrs. Monroe loves Mr. Monroe. I believe she will do everything she can to save Mr. Monroe.‘ 

Ramon exclaimed, “Sweetheart, did you give him the antidote?” Shocked and on the verge of tears, he screamed inwardly, “This is an enormous gamble!”
