Cold Husband Out, Secret Mogul In Chapter 30
The pharmaceutical plant was in Old Delmere. The streets were narrow, crammed with both cars and people, horns blaring non-stop.This was their last hope, but Alison didn't dare get her hopes up. The world of generic drugs was murky; some plants didn't even have proper licenses. If this trip yielded nothing, Malcolm would really be out of time.Theodore sat beside her, calmly looking over the documents in his hands.Soon, the car pulled up in front of an unremarkable building with only a tin sign by the door. They were greeted by the technical director, an elderly Envian man with graying hair and a heavy accent.Alison asked if they could see the lab first. The old man hesitated for a moment, then led them inside.The lab wasn't big, but the equipment was surprisingly advanced. Alison carefully examined each instrument and asked a few questions about the production process.The old man's answers were highly professional, with detailed data and no vague hand-waving.She flipped t

Alison rubbed her eyes. "Are we there already?""We've already landed." Theodore paused. "If you didn't sleep enough, you can nap a little longer."Alison sat up. "I'm good. Let's get off the plane."They got off the private jet and exited through the VIP passage. Their hired car was already waiting at the exit.A Carendian woman stood by the car. She had a neat, short haircut and looked sharp and quick on her feet."Hi there. I'm your local guide for this trip. My name's Joanne York."She took the initiative and reached out to shake Alison's hand. The moment their fingertips touched, Joanne gripped Alison's hand firmly.Theodore stood to the side with the luggage, staring coldly at Joanne, his thin lips pressed into a tight line.As soon as they got into the car, Joanne rode shotgun and enthusiastically started introducing Envia's local customs and culture. She talked a lot, her sentences coming one after another, constantly trying to engage them.Alison had to listen careful

The cabin of the private jet looked more like a luxurious lounge, every detail showing the owner's taste.Alison had just settled into her seat when her phone rang. It was Erik. She declined the call with a quick flick of her finger.On the other side of the cabin, Theodore looked down at his phone and sent a WhatsApp message to "J"."Ms. York?"J replied quickly. "Mr. Statham, is it a gender issue? I can change it.""Theodore, have you flown on this plane before?" Alison asked.Theodore turned his phone face down and looked at her. "No.""Oh." She was a little nervous. "It's my first time on a private jet. Are there any rules I should follow?""Just make yourself at home.""Huh?"She couldn't help thinking that he was acting a little too much like the owner here.Not long after takeoff, she started feeling dizzy.Theodore called over the lead flight attendant and asked for some motion-sickness medicine for her. After she took it, a heavy drowsiness washed over her."There

A set of footsteps approached. It was Theodore. Alison didn't dare turn around, afraid he would see her at her most disheveled and most desperate.He stopped beside her, standing shoulder to shoulder, looking out at Hollibrook beyond the window."The blossoms are stunning," he said lightly.Head bowed, Alison sank into despair, thinking that maybe this spring would be the one when Malcolm left this world. She couldn't hold back anymore and covered her face with her hands.A warm palm rested on her head. It was Theodore again."I've had a way to get the real Paxorin for a while now," he said evenly.Alison froze."The only reason I didn't get it for you is that the company requires patients to go to Alvonia to receive the treatment there. Mr. Reese's body simply can't handle a long flight," he continued.He handed her a handkerchief.She took it, roughly wiped at her face, then looked up at him. "He has to fly there in person?""Yes, the patient must be there in person. They a

Alison felt a little diffident under Theodore's gaze.His eyes lingered on her face for a few seconds, then moved to the box of medicine in her hand. He asked gently, "You got the medicine?"She tilted her face up and smiled. "I was just about to take it to the doctor to discuss the next stage of treatment.""I'll go with you," he said.On the way to Stanley's office, Alison asked, "Theodore, what are you doing at the hospital?""A friend was discharged today. I came to help with the paperwork and figured I'd visit your uncle while I was here." He paused for a moment. "I think I heard that your husband is going to be a pallbearer at Monique's father's grave relocation?"Alison stiffened for a second, then forced a small smile. "Yeah. Their families go way back. Mr. Shore doesn't have any sons, so they needed another man to preside over the ceremony."She actually hadn't known anything about it beforehand and was just making it up, going along with what Nancy had said."I don't

Stanley said, "Mrs. Hale, we can't wait any longer. If we can't get the new drug, we'll have to start the second round of chemotherapy within three days.""My uncle's body won't survive another round of chemo," Alison said quietly.He looked straight at her. "If you refuse chemo, then the only thing left is palliative care."Palliative care meant watching the cancer devour Malcolm's body and waiting for him to die in pain.Alison walked out of the office. The corridor felt endless, the fluorescent lights a harsh white glare overhead. She stood there for a moment, then pulled out her phone and dialed Erik's number.It rang for a long time before he picked up."I'm on a business trip. I'll be away for a week," he said, his voice cool and distant. "What is it?""When will my uncle's medicine arrive? The doctor said we can only wait three more days at most."There was a pause on the other end. Then, Erik let out a short, cold laugh. "Your uncle again. Alison, would you even bother
