âEven Aldric couldnât find a cure for me.
How could Kyson possibly know anything about the virus? Moreover, heâs not the type to bear losses.
Does he want something from you in return?â
Lucinda was astounded and heaved a deep breath.
He was truly a clever man.
He asked the right questions, which she didnât have answers to.
Nathanâs frown deepened as Lucinda remained silent.
âLucinda?â he called out.
Snapping back to reality, Lucinda said seriously, âHeâs hiding something.
I always have this feeling that things arenât so simple.
Tonight, I sent the medicine he gave me to the lab for testing.
Aldric said itâs actually effective.
So Kyson might really know a way to cure you.
â
âSince he gave you the medicine, what did he ask for in return?â
Nathan questioned skeptically.
âHe wants me to bail him out and set him free,â Lucinda replied.
Nathan didnât buy it.
âIs that all?â he pressed.
âYes, but I donât know what heâs really planning.
However, heâs on his own without the Shaw family to back him up now.
I doubt he can cause us any trouble.
â
Clenching her fists, Lucinda swiftly changed the subject, urging.
âItâs late.
Letâs go to bed.
We can discuss this further tomorrow.
â
With a serious expression, Nathan remained undistracted.
âIf he truly possesses the antidote for the S404 Virus, that means my life is in his hands.
Given the stakes, he only asked you to bail him out?â
âIâ¦â Lucinda concealed her flustered face and chuckled.
âHow would I know why he asked for just that? Maybe he has other plans, but he hasnât revealed them to me yet.
â
She couldnât disclose the two other conditions Kyson had set.
Because Nathan would undoubtedly refuse to take the antidote if he knew.
She needed to figure out how to handle Kyson, gather useful information from him, and get the antidote herself.
When Lucinda saw that Nathan wasnât ready to give up questioning, she slowly rubbed her shoulders and said tiredly, âIâm so exhausted after working the entire day.
Please, no more questions for now.
Letâs discuss it later.
Iâm going to bed.
