Nobody knew how Crosleigh got it, but the wound did not get better during treatment and seemed to develop slight ulceration for some unknown reason.His family became anxious when the doctors were helpless in this situation. Right now, Crosleigh's wounds had become necrotic. It looked terrifying, and it seemed like there was no way to save him. Hesper frowned. The wound had transformed significantly from the initial injury, not just ulcerating but continuously expanding. At this rate, it would not be long before Crosleigh would not feel pain anymore because he would be gone."Why is this happening?" Hesper mumbled. She had not heard of such a condition before, especially considering Crosleigh was not born with it but suddenly developed it. This made it even more puzzling.It was tough to pinpoint the timeline precisely since they only found out about Crosleigh's condition after he got injured. If he had not been injured, it could have taken a while before they realized what was ha

The consequence of the situation was far more serious than Hesper had anticipated. Professor Miles continued, "I was initially worried about this situation because the amount of the drug we obtained was too small to get any useful information from it. However, things will be different when we have a patient." Hesper knew what Professor Miles was implying. He would use Crosleigh as a test subject. Hesper hesitated; this was no different from human experimentation in essence.Seeing Hesper's doubts, Professor Miles explained, "He has no choice now. If he doesn't receive timely treatment, his body will inevitably decay completely. The antidote is only effective briefly, but he has been poisoned for an unknown duration. If we don't treat him quickly, by the time we confirm the antidote is effective, he might already be dead. It's not that we want to use him as a guinea pig."Hesper knew about this and acknowledged that her emotions had gotten the better of her just now. "I'm sorry,

Things did not end well between Hesper and Professor Miles. Rickard looked at Hesper's back and sighed helplessly. He walked up to her and grabbed her hand."Are you upset?"Hesper was not particularly angry. She just really wanted to protect her child. She knew her limits and felt torn between those who wanted her to protect herself and those who advised her to give up her child."Rickard, I know you're all worried about me. Otherwise, you wouldn't interfere with my decision," Hesper said calmly. "Just like you decisively said to keep the baby long ago."Hearing this, Rickard embraced Hesper. She chuckled lightly and said, "It was just a metaphor, no blame intended.""I know, but I blame myself."Rickard knew Hesper cared a lot about their child. She had shown courage years ago by jumping from a high place. Now, even after she had become a parent, that courage had not diminished."Alright, we won't terminate your pregnancy."At first, Rickard preferred Hesper not to have the c

After saying that, Vivienne promptly hung up the phone. Hesper had a bad feeling about it."What does Vivienne want with you?" Rickard asked. It was natural for Rickard to guess that the caller was Vivienne. Hesper sighed and shook her head."I just feel that something's off about Vivienne."Even though Vivienne was different from other heiresses of wealthy families, she did not sound like the Vivienne Hesper knew from the call just now. Knowing about her private interactions with Cheney, Hesper could not help but suspect the conversation might involve hallucinogenic drugs and past matters in Montequinto.With this thought in mind, Hesper found it somewhat absurd. If Vivienne could see through everything and knew many hidden details, then Cheney's effort to protect her for so many years would be all for naught.Suddenly, Hesper felt a lack of amusement. It seemed to her that many people had taken unexpected paths."I guess I have to meet her this time." Hesper sighed. To unra

"I can't promise you now, Ms Scarlett. After all, you haven't disclosed all the details to me," Hesper said, her gaze sharp. Despite her surprise, she did not lose her judgment. She wondered how Vivienne knew these things. Everyone in the coffee shop seemed to be Vivienne's people, and she wondered if Vivienne had a hand in the past events. Moreover, she wondered why Vivienne was so certain she had to be the test subject. There were many uncertainties, especially since she was currently collaborating with Cheney. If something were to happen to Vivienne, it could upset Cheney, which would not benefit them.Seeing Hesper's concerns, Vivienne nodded and said, "There are many things I can't and won't disclose now. However, when the time is right, I'll share some information you want to know."It seemed that Vivienne was currently adopting a relatively friendly attitude towards her. However, Hesper remained silent. "You can take time to consider my suggestion, Ms. Rivera. After all, w
