작가: Chronos
Neo smiled warmly at Adriana. "Just call me Neo. I'm heading to inspect the new laboratory at the group. Come with me."

"Okay."

Adriana returned to her desk to quickly touch up her makeup. She had been too rushed this morning to do more than a simple application. Her skin was fair and clear, so the difference between makeup and bare-faced wasn't huge—but after a sleepless night, a little coverage helped mask fatigue. Looking alert made a better impression.

Charlie, Neo's assistant, had other

  • The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband   Chapter 350

    Francesco and Adriana's marriage progressed with unexpected smoothness.After hearing about Francesco's dramatic escape from the wedding in Mitaly, no one in the Stanley family dared voice opposition to the marriage anymore.They all understood that Francesco was fully capable of cutting ties with the family. If they opposed him, the Stanley family would lose its only heir.Only three days after Adriana met the family, Richard and Bella's parents met to discuss the engagement arrangements.Since Adriana had no close relatives of her own, she decided to make the choice herself and skip both the engagement banquet and the wedding ceremony altogether, replacing them with a traveling wedding instead.Francesco, however, looked reluctant."I already prepared a guest list. Can't you cooperate with me a little?"Adriana took the list from his hand. The names included Bella and Patrick, Chris, Oliver, and several others."With only these people invited, why would we even need a wedding

    "As for you and Francesco being together, neither my dad nor I object to it. I'm just wondering whether there's anyone on your side we can discuss the engagement with."At first, Richard had opposed the relationship. But under relentless pressure from Francesco, he had reluctantly agreed to at least meet Adriana first.Now that he had met her and spoken with her tonight, he had completely abandoned the idea of opposing them.Adriana had Francesco wrapped firmly around her finger. If he continued resisting, he would only end up like his wife—losing this son entirely.Objectively speaking, aside from the mismatch in family background, there was nothing about Adriana that made her unworthy of Francesco.Although families like theirs didn't necessarily need a scientist as a daughter-in-law, when it came to scientific talent, Adriana might even surpass Francesco."Isn't this a little too rushed?"Adriana hesitated. There were still things she hadn't explained clearly yet. Until she s

    After arriving in Heatherton City, Francesco's paternal family called and invited Francesco to bring Adriana home for dinner.When she heard the news, Adriana got so nervous she practically paced in circles."I can't do this. I've never met your dad and grandfather before. Maybe I just shouldn't go?""The ugly daughter-in-law has to meet the in-laws sooner or later. Besides, you're this gorgeous and a world-famous scientist. My grandfather and father should consider themselves lucky to meet you."Francesco coaxed her while leading her into a high-end boutique to pick out clothes."You're right! Other than not being as rich as you, what part of me is lacking?"Adriana hyped herself up, regaining some confidence.She picked out a more casual black outfit so she wouldn't come off as too much of an innocent girl."Give you an inch, and you take a mile."Francesco teased as he paid for the clothes and handbag.That evening, the two of them arrived at the Stanley family estate.Ad

    Watching Adriana leave without once looking back, Francesco felt a sour ache rise in his chest.He had said he would wait there, and Adriana really had gone alone without bringing him along.He sat down on the sofa and casually picked up a book about rehabilitation, flipping through it absentmindedly, though he couldn't absorb a single word.When Adriana entered the garden, she spotted Chris immediately beneath a camphor tree.He sat in a specially designed wheelchair, his complexion as pale as ever, his frame even thinner than before. He wore a black lounge outfit.Anna sat beside him, reading aloud.Looking around, nearly everyone else in the garden was elderly.Adriana wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, forced a smile onto her face, and walked toward him."Chris."At the sound of her voice, Chris seemed stunned for a moment before finally turning toward her."Adriana?""I happened to be passing through, so I came to see you."Adriana greeted Anna, who smiled

    Francesco bent down, resting his chin on Adriana's shoulder as he brushed lightly against her cheek."What are you, clairvoyant? You can see that island from this far away?""Get away from me."Adriana shoved his head aside and shot him a glare."Come on. Let's go back to Heatherton City."Francesco's gaze softened as he gently rubbed her head."I'm going to Egypt to see the pyramids. You can go back by yourself."Adriana wasn't speaking out of spite. For the time being, she truly had no plans to return to Heatherton City.Francesco pleaded, "Just come back to Heatherton City with me first and visit Bianca. After that, I'll follow you anywhere. To the ends of the earth—wherever you want to go."Adriana looked up at him in confusion."Our four-year agreement still has a long way to go. Why would you follow me?""Silly girl, how could I really make you wait four years?"Francesco sat beside her and leaned his head against hers."When my mother forced me to marry Suzie, I fin

    Francesco gently pulled back a corner of the blanket and found Adriana's cheeks slightly flushed, her breathing slow and even. She had already fallen asleep."Well, looks like all that talking was for nothing."He tugged the blanket down a little farther, exposing her head.Adriana was sleeping deeply. She must have been utterly exhausted lately.As he stared at the familiar sleeping face before him, it felt as though a spring breeze had drifted through the dead of winter inside his chest, leaving his heart warm, restless, and faintly intoxicated.He gazed at her in silence for a long while before remembering he still had important things to handle.Mars was downstairs waiting for him, practically falling asleep already."Sir, are we heading back to Heatherton City?""Pack everything first. We'll leave once Adriana wakes up."Francesco unlocked his phone. His father had returned it to him before the wedding began.Countless missed calls.Countless unread messages.He found

    Francesco rose and sank into the sofa. "Sit."Adriana took the seat across from him. "May I ask what kind of meeting this is?"The clock pointed to eleven. Most of the office staff had already left. She suspected his intentions weren't about the meeting at all, but about cornering her.Francesco'

    Adriana, determined to avoid her Grandma Lydia, hurriedly completed her discharge late at night and checked into the Nash family's private hospital.The next morning, Chris called."Where are you?"After waking, he had rushed to the hospital as soon as Jimmy updated him on her condition, only to

    Adriana relied purely on survival instinct as she made her way down the mountain. Along the way, two more cars passed, neither slowing down.After more than half an hour, a car suddenly came speeding up from below. In the glow of its headlights, she saw who was inside and nearly screamed in relief.

    Francesco's hand froze as he raised the wine glass to his lips, long fingers brushing idly along the rim. He extended the glass toward Adriana in a mock salute before tipping it back and draining it in one smooth motion."Today, we truly meet, Mrs. Slater."The words were deliberately emphasized—e
