Semua Bab My Wife, the Iron Lady: Bab 281 - Bab 290

Eden couldn’t be bothered to expose Noah's lies, so they both headed to the kitchen.Once there, she resumed her experiment, using the Bloodgod Herb as a reagent to create a cure for Heartgorger, though it was far from perfected.Both Jerred and Sofia had been infected with Heartgorger, but Jerred’s condition was far more severe. The rapid onset was due to the strength of the infection, and the only reason he had survived this long was thanks to specialized drugs Sulien had taken from the research institute and the needling done by Eden.Though Jerred wasn’t in immediate danger, curing him was no simple task.Eden had already formulated three potential cures, but they were all ineffective. She didn’t have much Bloodgod Herb left, and experimenting with Jerred’s life was not an option.Noah examined the cure Eden had created, sniffing it and observing it for a long time before frowning. "Yes, something's wrong. But I can't pinpoint what exactly."He put down the cure, deep in thou

The last time Eden and Alain were at the Parkers', Eden realized that Noah might not be an ordinary person. At the very least, during the era when the Parkers were in power, Noah was someone they had to show respect to.The Johnson family only rose to prominence after the Parkers' fell. While the Parkers were no longer as glorious as they once were, their reputation still surpassed that of the Johnsons. It was no surprise that Noah had no regard for them."How... how can you talk about my grandfather like that? You're..." Quin pointed her finger at Noah, tears welling up in her eyes as she gritted her teeth. "So rude!""Haha!" Noah burst out laughing. "I've lived a long time, and this is the first time someone’s called me rude. Girl, go ask your grandfather if he dares to say that to my face.""You..." Quin was so furious that her face turned red, but she couldn’t find the words to respond.She wasn’t foolish—she knew that Noah and her grandfather were acquainted.If Noah was ind

Normally, the students would always gather around Eden, but now they were turning to Quin instead.Quin glanced in Eden's direction, raising her chin in triumph.So what if Eden was Alain's fiancée?Quin was still the center of everyone's attention. As long as she was around, all eyes were on her.While Quin was basking in her triumph, Eden didn’t even spare her a glance.After class, Eden rested her head on her desk.But she had just settled in when she felt Joy nudge her elbow. "Eden, are you asleep? I have something for you."Eden usually couldn’t sleep deeply in the morning, and with how noisy the classroom was, she wasn’t really asleep at all. She sat up as soon as Joy nudged her.She tilted her head slightly, looking somewhat annoyed but doing her best to suppress it. "What is it?"Joy handed Eden a small box and said, "I noticed the dark circles under your eyes, and you seem to be in a bad mood. Maybe you haven't been sleeping well lately? I heard this herb is good for

Eden went back upstairs, and Alain switched off the lights in the living room. When he reached the staircase, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He quickly turned around, but there was nothing behind him.He shivered slightly, his cold expression momentarily shifting.In the days that followed, the number of people at Skygarden increased, leaving Alain and Eden with even less time to be alone together.Eden usually continued working on the cure after her classes, so she didn’t have much time to chat with Alain.Horace and Caelus also rarely came to Skygarden, opting to report to Alain directly by phone. They were mainly avoiding Noah, who had a bad temper and made them a bit uneasy.On Saturday, Eden was planning to visit Joy’s home.Alain was going with her, of course. It was a rare opportunity for him to spend some time alone with Eden.It was also a rare chance for Horace and Caelus to see Alain in person, so they decided to join, hoping to discuss something face

Ashford realized what he was doing and smiled awkwardly. "I’m so sorry for getting overly excited. Ms. Griffith, you didn’t just come to our home for fun this time, did you? You must have identified the Bloodgod Herb that Joy gave you and came to find me, right?""That’s right," Eden answered sincerely. "I can sign a contract with you so that you can provide the materials to me long-term. I’ll pay you the market price."Eden knew how to cultivate herbs but wasn’t an expert, especially with something as rare as the Celestial Herb.After what happened to her grandmother, she knew there was still much to learn. If she had someone to supply the materials, she could focus on making the medicine and eventually handle all kinds of diseases."No." Ashford shook his head."You can tell me your conditions," Eden said."It’s not that I don’t want to sign a contract with you. Raphael’s Seminary already signed a contract with the Bishops in the past. Since you’re Mr. Noah’s student, we will n
