โYou want the antibodies from me, right?โ Strix said expressionlessly.Adrian was stumped, and an expression of embarrassment appeared on his face after Strix saw through his intention. However, he did not say anything in return.Strix stood up and walked up to the desk. He placed both his hands on the top of the desk and said, โI can give you the antibodies, but you need to promise me one thing.โSue was outside of the study room. When she was about to knock on the door, she heard the conversation inside the study room and was shocked.โThe real Strix is Henry from the Metropolis? He has the antibodies that can cure Nolan!?โSueโs face was getting darker and darker with each passing second. A cold smirk appeared on the corner of her lips as if she had thought of something. โHeaven will always leave a way out. If I can get my hands on the antibodies and save Nolan, I can be with him openly!โโฆMaisie came to the apartment the fire had started three years ago. This apartment wa
The person on the other side of the phone said something, and Sue replied, โAdrian has no intention of helping Mr. Roger at all. Iโm the only one who can help him. As long as I get my hands on Strixโs vaccine and save Nolan, the public will be convinced that the vaccine actually works. It's up to you whether you're willing to make the deal or not now.โAfter Sue hung up the call, she left the corridor. At the same time, Saydie emerged through the emergency exit and looked at the figure that walked into the ward with a cold face.Maisie was sitting inside the car. She left the window half-open and looked outside.After Saydie came out of the hospital, she entered the car. Maisie asked, โShe hasnโt left yet?โโNot yet,โ Saydie replied.Maisie lowered her head. Although she knew that Nolan was just pretending to be interested in Sue to give her the wrong impression she would have a chance, she felt Sue had stayed in the ward for too long.โCould it be that she refuses to leave? They
โWhat? The vaccine was snatched?โ Adrian grasped the bodyguardโs shoulder, and his expression changed drastically. โWho snatched it from you?โThe bodyguard lowered his head. โItโs the princeโs men.โAdrian let go of him, walked back to the desk, gritted his molars, and listened to the bodyguard as he continued to explain how they had gotten stopped when they were on their way back. There were many of them, all of them with guns, and their target was the suitcase.Adrian picked up a cigarette packet and smacked it against his palm, but it was already empty, so he slammed the packet to the floor. โD*mn it!โโWe finally got our hands on Strixโs vaccine for our research, but Rogerโs men snatched it!โHe knew that Strix had come up with two top-notch antibodies back then, and those two antibodies could control the condition of patients who were infected by the sleeper virus. Of course, it could only help patients in the middle stage of the infection.Those two antibodies contained ge
Nolan lifted his head. โThis is Strixโs vaccine. Even if it doesnโt work, at least it wonโt kill me.โQuincy was bewildered as if he was guessing which โStrixโ Nolan was referring to.โYou shouldโve prepared for the press conference thatโs going to take place in two days, shouldnโt you?โ Nolan asked.Quincy returned to his senses. โYes.โNolan smiled as he folded the newspaper and then looked out of the window coldly. โThat should be very interesting.โAt the press conference two days laterโฆThe reporters and media outlets that were present were looking forward to this moment.After all, if the vaccine had cured Nolan, it would be a miracle in the history of the medical world.The sleeper virus had swept across Stoslo in the past, causing many deaths. After the fall of the Kents, the news about the fake vaccines had made the public even more exasperated.A man-made disaster had almost dragged the entire Stoslo into hell, and the vaccine that Strix had developed back then, whic
โIโm the one who brought the vaccine and saved Nolan. Grandpa will only value me more now. As long as Nolan and Grandpa are on my side, I wonโt have to be afraid even if Adrian comes through that door!โNolan, who had been sitting in the wheelchair, stood up slowly, and everyone present was shocked. Everyone had heard that he was originally on the verge of death and could only rely on a wheelchair to move around.โHe can stand up now?โCould it be that the vaccine really works? Does it actually help a person whoโs already dying recover so quickly?โStrix stopped before him while Nolan smiled and stretched out his hand. โItโs nice to see you, Mr. Salazar.โโStrix Salazar!?โThe reporters were all stunned.โMr. Henry is Strix Salazar?โโOh my God! This news is too explosive!โSue was dumbfounded, and her gaze was fixed on Nolan.โHow does he know that Mr. Henry is Strix!?โStrix shook hands with Nolan. โIโve heard a lot about you, Mr. Goldmann, and Iโve always wanted to meet y
Adrian snorted. โStrix gave me that vaccine for research purposes. It canโt cure Nolan Goldmann as heโs infected with a new type of sleeper virus, which has no incubation period.โPlus, the vaccine I got from Strix is the one that was developed more than ten years ago, and it would only be useful to people who are infected with the ordinary sleeper virus. You know nothing about the virus nor the vaccine, and you have the guts to use it on him?โSue shuddered, and the people around them seemed to have frozen, and even half of their voices had disappeared.Adrian then looked at the group of reporters. โWhy are we studying antibodies? The vaccine developed by the Kents aimed to achieve an anti-cancer effect and improve human genes through the virus to prevent certain diseases.โItโs an idea that has a glorious objective, but unfortunately, the Kents had failed, causing the worst catastrophe that the human population has ever faced back then. The things we study are the same as those t
โWhatโs going on? The bodyguards actually let them through!?โStrix came out of the Intensive Care Unit in protective clothing. โHave you brought it?โErwin handed the silver suitcase to Strix, and Titus stood up slowly and looked at them. โCanโฆ Can this save Nolan?โStrix took the suitcase. โAs long as Elder Master Goldmann is willing to believe in it.โTitus did not say anything. After all, the vaccine he had allowed Sue to administer to Nolan had almost killed Nolan once. However, at this point, he had to believe in him even if he did not want to.Strix went into the Intensive Care Unit with the suitcase.Sue, who the bodyguards stopped, shouted at Maisie and Erwin, โThis is a scheme that youโve set up, isnโt it!?โโIt must be their scheme! Iโve snatched the vaccine! How could there still be an identical thing!? This must be their scheme!โMaisie turned around slowly and glanced at Sue. A smile then appeared on the corners of her lips. โWhat scheme are you talking about?โS
โTo be exact, thereโs isnโt a huge effect.โStrix turned around. โThis was a mere side effect from the rejection. The sleeper virus has a relatively stubborn cell. When the vaccine is injected into the body, those cells that spread will start to become active and accelerate the metabolism. His body cannot bear it, but he wonโt die. "Maisie paused and pressed her lips together. If she knew that the vaccine would cause such a huge reaction to rejection, she might not have taken the chance.Strix consoled her, โYou donโt need to feel bad. I initially planned to let Adrian use that vaccine for research. Even if you didnโt inform Erwin to make him take precautions, he would still have two vaccines with him at that time.โNo matter which type it was, they didnโt affect Nolan negatively, but it just didnโt let Sue and Roger get their way. After Strix left, Maisie stood there alone until someone said, โI wasnโt expecting you to be behind the vaccine issue.โMaisie didnโt turn around, b
โDaisie.โ Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. โYou look so pretty today.โโThank you,โ Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. โI propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.โDaisie clinked glasses with her. โSame goes for you and Morrison.โAfter the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. โYou were great earlier today.โShe giggled. โReally?โNolan added, โYouโll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.โDaisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. โDad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisieโs hand.โโConsider yourself lucky.โ Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. โYouโd better treat my daughter well from now on.โNollace glanced at Daisie. โDonโt worry. Sheโll forever be my one and only.โMaisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriageโthe streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrickโs Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisieโs hand and smiled suddenly. โYou have sweaty palms.โDaisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, โIโm nervous.โHe lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. โIโm here, so donโt be nervous. Just take it easy.โDaisieโs gaze landed on his wedding jacket. โYou look nice in this uniform.โNollace chuckled. โAnd my bride looks stunning too.โArriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
โBy the way, whereโs Cameron?โ asked Morrison.Waylon replied, โSheโs accompanying her father on a stroll. Iโm going to go meet them already, so Iโll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.โAfter saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. โHeโs changed now that he has a wife.โโYouโre speaking as if you havenโt changed.โ Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. โHey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.โMaisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. โMrs. Goldmann.โMaisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. โHave you finished catching up?โโOf course. Didnโt you want to go to the Hathawaysโ villa with Dad in the afternoon?โNolan smiled. โI was waiting for you. Weโre just going over to have a meal together.โQuincy walked up to Saydieโs side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. โThen Iโll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my momโs jewelry company and design.โNollace hugged her from behind. โYou can do anything as long as you like it.โโฆThe members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, โGodfather!โStrix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, โNolly, Iโm really looking forward to our wedding.โโReally?โ Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. โIโm looking forward to it too.โโI can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.โHe laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. โYou know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.โDaisie turned her head around. โWhat are your wishes?โโMarry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.โShe was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
โYeah, itโs true,โ replied Zephir.โIt seems like youโve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.โ Naomi patted his shoulder. โI wish you all the best in your future endeavors.โ He smiled at her but did not say anything.โฆSoon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. โMommy! Daddy!โShe hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. โYouโre an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.โShe smiled back at them and said, โBut I know Iโll always be your kid in your eyes.โMaisie chuckled and looked at the other people. โIt seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.โFreyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. โWhat a coincidence.โโMorrison and I were here earlier than you guys,โ said Leah. โWe only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.โDaisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, โThen you should stay a few more days with us.โAfter Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. โSheโs my sister-in-law, Freyja, and sheโs my sister. Her name is Daisie.โโIโve seen them before at your wedding,โ said Morrison. โYour sister is my wifeโs classmate. She has told me before.โโSince when did I become your wife? Thereโs a chance I may not marry you in the future,โ said Leah.โWeโre already engaged. If you donโt want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?โ Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, โEngaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?โ Leah cleared her throat and replied, โWell, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, โ$10 for three chances.โโ$10 for three chances only? Thatโs expensive,โ commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, โIโm the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.โ Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, โLet's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.โAfter that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, โPlease give us six hoops.โThe stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, โLeave it to me.โShe squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. โWhatโs the matter? You canโt sleep?โโYeahโฆโ She buried her head in his chest and said, โI want to go to take a leak, but Iโm a little bit scared.โNollace kissed her forehead and said, โIโll go with you then.โBoth of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, โYou wait for me here.โNollace nodded. โJust shout my name if you need anything.โShe walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollaceโs arm. โAlright, letโs go
