Ryan came from one of Eastbridge City’s most prominent families. Several of Ryan’s relatives held high-ranking government positions, so a marriage between him and Natalie would be considered an excellent match for both families.Aaron recognized him but offered no warm welcome. “What are you doing here?”Ryan looked at Aaron with open disdain. “I’m not here to see you!”He turned to Natalie with a completely different expression. “Nat, let me take you home.”“You’re so annoying. I’m spending time with Aaron. Why did you come here to bother us?”“This place is filthy and full of germs. The longer you stay here, the greater your chance of getting sick. You should go home.”“Look, Aaron. Ryan keeps sending me messages, saying he likes me and asking me to be his girlfriend. What do you think?”Natalie pulled out her phone and showed Aaron Ryan’s romantic messages. They were packed with cheesy lines about soulmates, fate, love at first sight, and a romance that could conquer the world.Rya

Aaron met Vanessa’s eyes. Her gaze remained clear and unwavering, so he knew she was telling the truth.He mocked her. “You really are clever. You know I won’t live much longer, so the divorce would only be a formality. Even if we stay married, it won’t stop you from living freely.”“I don’t like being called a divorcee, and I don’t like the word widow either. So, I’ve decided not to divorce you after all. You have to stay alive and make sure I never become a widow. Otherwise, I’ll dump your ashes in the sewer.”Aaron did not respond. Whether he survived depended on fate. And if he did survive, the decision to divorce would not be Vanessa’s alone.She was still his wife, and he would not allow her to carry on with another man.Aaron checked the thermometer. His temperature had risen another 0.1°C since the last reading.“Hey, I’ve made my position clear. You should give me an answer too. Tell me you’re not interested in a younger woman like Natalie—”Vanessa glanced at the temperature

Rebecca put the book aside and examined Aaron. “Your friend Owen is quite something. A grown man crying like that, with such genuine emotion… It’s remarkable. How did the two of you become such close friends?”“We’re not friends. He’s just an unlucky mining businessman.”“But he said you saved him and his entire family. He wouldn’t be where he is today without you.”“That was a long time ago. He had already failed three projects in a row, spending money on three mines that yielded nothing. “He financed everything with bank loans, so he was in an even worse position than simply losing his investment. His company couldn’t make payroll, and his employees were ready to tear him apart. He was completely trapped. “One day, I arrived at work and happened to see him helping an elderly woman cross the street. I figured he wasn’t a bad person, so I introduced him to a promising project and connected him with a bank manager. “He secured a loan, found a deposit, and turned his life around. Late

Vanessa was still holding Aaron’s face and staring at him without making another move. “Let go already!” Aaron demanded.“Honestly, you just made me so emotional that I really wanted to kiss you, but I couldn’t find a patch of skin that wasn’t covered in a rash!”A flicker of sadness crossed Vanessa’s eyes. She released him, checked the time, and said, “I have a client to visit and a payment to chase down, so I can’t stay.”She picked up her purse and walked a few steps before adding, “Tell Owen to move his company’s accounts to my bank. He should introduce some of his friends to me too. Business should stay within the family, right?”Aaron gave a quiet laugh. After Vanessa left, he could not calm his thoughts or concentrate on his book. He lay there lost in thought until he eventually fell asleep.When he woke again, it was already seven or eight in the evening. He ate a little, felt unwell, and went back to sleep.The next morning, after finishing his IV treatment, Aaron got out of

When Aaron saw the medical staff enter, he knew it was time for another blood-filtration treatment, so he told Natalie to go home first.After Rebecca examined him, he asked, “Have you heard anything from the Institute of Virology?”“I’ll be honest with you. The samples they received from your body lost their viral activity too quickly, so they couldn’t complete the experiments. I’ve already applied for assistance from a Biosafety Level 4 laboratory.”“Then we’ll have to wait.”Aaron knew there was no escaping his fate as a human test subject.Two days passed.That afternoon, Aaron fought back his nausea and forced himself to finish as much of his meal as possible. Then he held on to the hospital bed and walked around to help his body digest the food.The door opened, and Edward entered with the director of the Geological Survey.“Aaron, I came to see you. I’ve been terribly busy these past few weeks and couldn’t get away. I’m sorry I didn’t visit sooner.”The director arrived with a
