Chapter 1282
Dr. Lester said, âThe drug I made is safe for pregnant women. But I spent a lot of time refining it, and I only have enough for Comelia, so donât go giving it to others.â
Patricia responded, âHow could I possibly give away what you made for Nelly?â
âWhy did you ask about pregnant women then?â Dr. Lester asked, suddenly realizing something. âPatricia, are you saying that Cornelia is pregnant?â
Patricia then recounted the dayâs events to him.
After hearing her out, Dr. Lester was shaking with excitement, âThis is a blessing from heaven. The Hartley family line has hope!
Granny Luisa asked âWhat are you talking about?â
Dr. Lester avoided her gaze, âNothingâ
Recently Granny Luisa had been unable to reach Marcus. Whenever she called, his assistant Ben would answer, saying he was busy. In the past, even when Marcus was busy, he would call her back when he had time. Now, Marcusâs behavior was abnormal, which made Granny Luisa think that he felt guilty towards Cornelia and didnât have the nerve to face her, so he was intentionally avoiding her. But now, Granny Luisa didnât think that was the case. She had a bad feeling, âIs something wrong with Marc?â
Dr. Lester shook his head, âNo, no.â
Granny Luisaâs gaze suddenly turned cold, âDr. Lester!â
The strong presence of Granny Luisa and her addressing him so harshly forced him to tell the truth, âGranny Luisa, I canât tell you what Marc didnât want me to sayâ
Granny Luisa asked, âWhere is he? Take me to see him now.â
Dr. Lestex knew he couldnât hide it any longer, his eyes filled with tears, âMarc is very sick. Heâs been unconscious for several days, and no one knows if he can make it.â
Hearing this, Granny Luisa felt as if her heart had been pierced by several needles. She struggled to control her emotions, âWhatâs wrong with him?â
Dr. Lester replied, âHeâs not sick. Itâs the poison Brennen used on Marc twenty years ago. The poison is called Acidbane, you must have heard of it.â
Twenty years ago, the news about Acidbane was everywhere. The poison hadnât even hit the market when the guy who made it was caught. After he was caught, no one else could make Acidbane and rumors about the poison slowly disappeared.
Granny Luisa never thought that she would hear about this poison again after twenty years, let alone that her grandson was a victim of it. And all of this was because of Brennen, the villain.
âHe actually used this vicious poison on his own son, utterly inhuman.â Dr. Lester said, âBrennen has been waiting for the poison to take effect on Marc, so he can take his place. Marc saw through his scheme a long time ago and was prepared. Granny Luisa, donât worry, Brennen will never match up to Marc, and the Hartley Group will return to Marcâs hands in a new way
In Granny Luisaâs heart, while the Hartley Group was important, it wasnât as important as her grandsonâs life. She firmly said, âTake me to see Marc! I must see him right away!â
Dr. Lester replied, âGranny Luisa, itâs not that I donât want to take you to see him, but he said when he was conscious that no one could see him, especially Comelia.â
Granny Luisa immediately understood the issue that had been bothering her before, âSo he divorced Nelly because of his condition?â
