Because Zoey had contacted the director of Oakhedge Hospital in advance to explain her identity and purpose, when they arrived, three Clinical Lab doctors were already in place.
Lilliana went to have her blood drawn first, and then she went to have a PET-CT scan.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, Oakhedge was quiet as people had entered their dreams, except for the Clinical Lab at Oakhedge Hospital, which was bustling.
Zoey observed the condition of the blood under the microscope, while the other three Clinical Lab doctors conducted various tests on Lilliana's blood.
Zoey looked at the tiny worms swimming rapidly in the blood, and furrowed her brow deeply.
The parasite, known as the silk beetle, was commonly found in Vertmist. It had a strong infectivity and reproductive ability, and could survive in the host's body for several years. Once the host's immune system weakened, it would start attacking the host aggressively, eventually leading to death.
Russell furrowed his brow, the intense pain and nausea making him extremely miserable."Russell, open your mouth."Russell quickly opened his mouth upon hearing the words, and the Golden Worm flew out with a wriggling blood-red worm in its mouth, landing on the disposal plate.The Larvi-worm was transparent, but it turned red after sucking blood, and it writhed in pain.This is where Golden Worm tore apart Larvi-worm, slowly devouring it bit by bit.Meanwhile, in a basement in Woodmerrow.Nathalie, who was bound to the cross, felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if something was gnawing at her heart.Her scar-covered body was oozing cold sweat, and because her mouth was stuffed with a cloth, she could only make whimpering sounds.She struggled desperately, her eyes, nose, and ears all bleeding, even the cloth in her mouth soaked with blood.She began to convulse.At this moment, someone removed the cloth from her mo
Russell silently watched her for a long time. He knew that this journey was very dangerous, but she had to go."I'm sorry, I couldn't accompany you."Zoey raised her hand and gently stroked the man's cheek, "Don't say that. The situation is special, just cooperate with the doctor's treatment. I will come back as soon as possible."She leaned on the sickbed, leaned over and kissed the man's lips, "Wait for me, my dear."Russell fixed his eyes on her and said, "Be careful.""Don't worry."Just as Zoey was about to go downstairs, she was grabbed by the man and pulled back.His generous palm held the back of the girl's head as he kissed her. This kiss contained no desire, as if he wanted to melt her into his own body, never to be separated from her forever.The kiss lasted for a long time before the two of them separated.Russell's voice was hoarse, "Zoey, you must be careful.""I knew."Zoey reluctantly left R
Although it was a great opportunity, Zoey did not immediately agree.After all, the two villages had a hostile relationship, so if she agreed immediately, it would raise suspicions.She scrutinized the man with a pointed nose and chubby cheeks in front of her, as well as the silver jewelry they had brought. "Take these things back, I won't give her any medical treatment."The man looked hesitant and said, "If you don't go, I won't be able to report back, and I will be punished by the village chief.""Does it concern me? I don't know you, why should I care about your face?" Zoey coldly glared at him."My name is Bruno Kaufman, and I will come back again," the man nodded, carrying two loads of ornaments with him as he left.Roderick and Enzo walked over.Roderick asked, "Why do you think they came?"Enzo clicked his tongue and said, "That must be because my clever apprentice has exceptional medical skills, so the chief of Butteri
While Zoey was performing the special treatment on Natalie, she was also taking her pulse. In fact, she discovered that the discomfort in Natalie's heart was not due to any underlying medical condition.Those symptoms were similar to Russell's symptoms, as if there was a foreign object in the heart, but it wasn't a moving object.She pulled out the silver needle and placed it aside, "Get into position."Natalie turned over and there was a one-centimeter-long scar on her back, although it was thin, it was still noticeable.This confirms Zoey's conjecture, "You have left the village before, haven't you?"Natalie's body stiffened, "No.""Your heart should have undergone surgery."Natalie turned her head to look at her, her eyes filled with disbelief. "What?"Zoey looked calm and determined as she said, "You left the village and underwent surgery."Because clothing cannot be worn during the special treatment, there were only
Hazel's words, Russell and Braeden naturally did not believe.Braeden took out the tracker and found that Troy's location was still in the same place as before.He directly refused Hazel, "We will find them ourselves. You don't need to bother."He took back the tracker and pushed Russell forward.Hazel couldn't believe that they had actually rejected her, and her gaze turned fierce.She snorted coldly, blew a whistle, and over ten people from Blackmere Village appeared in front of Russell and Braeden, blocking their way.Hazel walked up to the two of them with her hands on her hips, raising her chin as if she were a proud little princess."I liked both of you, if you agree to be with me, I won't torment you, otherwise..."Russell spoke up in a low voice, "Otherwise, what?"The man's voice, although lacking warmth, was very magnetic.The moonlight fell on the handsome face of the man, as if it was coated with a lay
Under the dim yellowish firelight, Zoey's gaze pierced Natalie's eyes like a sharp blade.Natalie's pupils dilated as she did not expect the woman in front of her to associate so many secrets."You..."Zoey's lips curled up, "Actually, you've lived long enough at your age. Even if you don't say it, I would have found out sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.""I said!" Natalie didn't want to die, "I told you everything I know! Forty years ago, I saved a man who was being chased. He made a deal with me, I provided him with Venomous Worm, and he gave me a huge sum of money. But I didn't want the money, I just wanted something that could kill without a trace, because I hated Maliyah that woman, and the whole Esterden Village people, but I only knew how to kill with Venomous Worm, which would be too obvious. After the deal with the man, he provided me with parasites, and I secretly put them in the water of the people in Esterden Village, so that anyone
Russell's eyes were as deep as the Night Guild, as he pondered over all that had happened.He murmured, "Look up Nathalie, there might be some new discoveries. Of course, the fact that her information has been completely erased also raises some questions. What can be proven now is that the leader of the mysterious organization we were discussing earlier should indeed be the person who built the laboratory."It is reasonable to say that this conjecture is plausible.Zoey glanced at the remains on the ground and said, "I had planned to use Natalie to lure out the person behind the scenes, but I didn't expect them to be well-prepared and cut off all ties. Now, our leads are gone."Russell brushed off the dust from her body and said, "It's okay, even the cleverest fox reveals its tail at times."He looked at the people of Butteriron Village and said, "I hope that in the future you will be able to coexist peacefully with Esterden Village, otherwise we w
Zoey glared at him and said, "I'll take another look at how your wound is healing. The lighting wasn't very good earlier."Russell leaned back, with his hands propped on the bed, and raised an eyebrow at her, "You helped me undress."Zoey pursed her lips, bent down, and then grabbed the edge of the man's T-shirt with both hands and rolled it up.Suddenly, Russell grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, sitting her on his lap.The man's warm breath sprayed against her ear. His fingers caressed her slender fingertips. "Tell me, after not seeing each other for a week, do you miss me?"Zoey wrapped her hands around the man's neck, but kept a slight distance between their bodies, afraid of touching his wound. "To be honest?""Um.""I didn't think.""Really?" Russell pinched her chin and turned it towards himself. "I don't believe it."Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, her alluring red lips making men envious.Rus
The evening sun's afterglow shone through the broken glass into the factory.Nancy knelt on the ground, pleading desperately, "Elliott, please don't hurt her, okay? She's just a five-year-old child."Elliott sneered, "Child? So what? Amiya is sad, none of you can be happy! Amiya is in jail, you all will be buried with her! It's all because of your existence that Dalton lost his mind! What can you compare to Amiya? Dalton is truly blind! What have you all turned Amiya into, such a good, innocent and kind person? Tell me, are you all wrong or not?"Nancy couldn't argue with him, afraid of angering him, as he would do something to harm Nancy."We were wrong, all of us. Elliott, could you please put the knife down? Calm down a bit, what you're doing is not worth it."Elliott pointed a knife at Nancy and said, "Not worth it? It's definitely worth it! I'm going to kill all three of you today, oh wait, it's actually four of you, because you're pregnant! M
Dalton was afraid of making Nancy dizzy, so he quickly stopped.In the midst of joy, it is essential to ensure safety and not get carried away.The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes couldn't help but become moist.It was really not easy to come this far.Dalton held Nancy tightly, a 6'2" man burying his face in the crook of her neck, and cried out in suppressed sobs.Nancy patted the man's sturdy back and said, "All the hardships have passed, and we will only get better."Dalton nodded, "It would be fine."Chelsea's call interrupted the two of them. Dalton and Nancy looked over and saw a woman, tears streaming down her face, filled with guilt.Chelsea said, "Nancy, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."Nancy laughed and said, "Whether there were misunderstandings or not, at that moment, we were expressing our normal and true thoughts."Chelsea asked, "Are you blaming me?"Nancy raised an ey
Dalton looked past her indifferently and gave her an affirmative answer, "Yes!"Amiya simply couldn't accept the fact that she had gone from being a hunter to being the hunted, being manipulated by others."How could this happen? How? Where did it go wrong?" She couldn't believe that her perfect plan had failed.She looked down at the baby in her arms, and it was not Dalton's child at all. Whose child was it?She looked at Sam abruptly, "Whose sperm is this? Whose?"Sam's mouth twitched, "I just randomly picked one, it shouldn't be too bad, right?"There were three types of people who stored sperm in the sperm bank in the past. One type was the highly educated individuals, another type was the wealthy individuals, and the third type was the lower-class individuals.Those low-level workers who couldn't afford to marry a wife, but still wanted to have descendants everywhere, would adopt such a way of behavior.Dalton smirked, "Wo
The Jenkins family invited the big shots from the upper class circle to their full moon banquet, and most of them came to the party with the intention of just watching the excitement.After all, who doesn't love to eat the melon of a wealthy family?The Blevins family, who were once expelled from overseas by Dalton, have also become honored guests and have risen in status, all because the wife who couldn't conceive was abandoned and the mistress, with the birth of a child, managed to turn her life around.People who used to sneer at them in the past, now when they see them, they can't help but nod and flatter them.The banquet hall was lavishly decorated, with photos and videos of the little baby playing on the LED big screen. Dalton was greeting the guests with Amiya, going around.Everyone treated her politely and called her Mrs. Jenkins.Only the Jenkins family and the Blevins family knew that Dalton and Nancy had not yet obtained a divorce certificate.Dalton's excuse was that Nan
Nancy held Nacy in her arms, watching all of this coldly. Chelsea, who had once treated her like a daughter, became hysterical in that moment.The people around kept pointing and whispering."This woman actually targeted a pregnant woman. She is truly wicked!"Anyway, the child was innocent!"You saw how she hurt the pregnant woman, and she didn't feel any guilt at all. This kind of person should be cyberbullied!""That's right! Send photos, send videos to her and upload them online!"***Nacy tightly held onto Nancy's neck, fear evident in her eyes. "Mom, I'm scared.""Don't be afraid, I would protect you."Chelsea looked as Amiya's skirt became stained with blood, and she felt a sense of unease. She directed her anger towards Nancy and said, "Nancy, you wanted to exterminate the Jenkins family, didn't you? You and this bastard have truly destroyed the Jenkins family!"Bastard?As soon as this word came out, the onlookers all imagined a grand drama of a wealthy family."Could it be t
Nancy looked at Dalton and asked, "Did your mother have any thoughts of divorcing me now?"Dalton didn't want any rift between the two of them, so he spoke honestly, "There's something, I guess Amiya did some brainwashing on her. But it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, because no one can influence me. The reason why my parents are acting this way is also because Amiya is really good at manipulating people. Nancy, you are in my eyes and in my heart."Nancy sighed lightly, "I know, I won't run away or be cowardly like before. I loved you, and I fought for us, unless one day you didn't want me anymore."Dalton's thin lips curved up, "I was really afraid that you would bring up the child and say that you wanted to leave me, and all that. We don't want to reach that point, you know?"Nancy nodded, "We could give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, we can go for in vitro fertilization."Dalton was glad that she was able to open up, and he embraced her in his arms. "Good. It's coming s
Carolyn, sitting in a wheelchair, twitched at the corner of her mouth, "Can that be done?"Carsen chuckled, "Of course not, I was just kidding with you."Carolyn pouted, "At a time like this, you still feel like joking?"Carsen raised her hand and rubbed her head, "My darling is going to be a mother, just kidding with you."Carolyn looked up and smiled, but in the next second, a wave of pain hit her, and Carolyn's face suddenly changed."Ouch, ouch, ouch! It seems like I was about to give birth!"Carsen hurriedly pushed Carolyn towards the elevator.Russell and Zoey followed behind, but their pace was slightly slower. By the time they arrived, Carsen and Carolyn had already gone up in the elevator.Russell took a deep breath, and Zoey looked at him with amusement. "Are you nervous?""Indeed, a little bit, I can't imagine what it would be like when you gave birth."Zoey held his hand and said, "Don't worry, nothing would happen."After a day of turmoil, Carolyn and Carsen's daughter wa
Eugene glared at Dalton and said, "You idiot! How could you say such a thing?"Dalton sneered, "Isn't this what you were doing? Treading carefully, ultimately pushing me into a corner and forcing me to surrender!"Eugene gritted his teeth and almost spat out the words from between his teeth, "Your attitude towards me is absolutely outrageous!""Sorry!" Dalton stood up, adjusting his cufflinks. "I couldn't do any of the things you mentioned. You can have Amiya live wherever you want, even if it means she moves into the Jenkins's manor, I won't object. With or without her, with or without me!"After saying that, Dalton directly pulled the door and left.Eugene looked at the closed door and lit a cigarette.He believed that everything he was doing now was for the good of Dalton. Being unfilial has no future, so are all the industries of the Jenkins family going to be donated in the future? Of course, there must be his own flesh and blood to inherit them!He felt that Dalton would start w
Nancy and Dalton returned to the room, and Dalton, worried that she was angry, immediately approached and embraced her."Nancy, I beg you, please don't leave me.""That night, I really had no recollection. I had already taken precautions, worrying that something might happen, but unexpectedly, it still did.""I knew that no woman could accept the fact that her husband had an illegitimate child. I had already told my parents that I would give up the Jenkins family's wealth. They can give it to whoever they want, because I will never acknowledge this child.""Nancy, I couldn't be without you. Don't think about giving up on our relationship just because you're having difficulty getting pregnant. My child can only be born from you, I won't acknowledge Amiya's child!""Nancy..."Dalton blurted out all his inner thoughts, how could Nancy possibly remain indifferent.She gently patted the man's back, "Dalton, I didn't say I want to leave you
