Eventually, they began to laugh, but their faces were still streaked with tears, resulting in a comical expression.
Nathaniel comforted Sonny by patting his shoulder and explaining, âI was just too tired earlier.
The S404 virus caused my heart and pulse to stop temporarily.
But I could hear everything you said.
â
âIf you could hear me, then why didnât you respond?â Sonny asked, frustrated.
In anger, Sonny began to hit Nathanielâs arm.
Nathaniel had ruined Sonnyâs image.
Nathanielâs actions caused Sonnyâs image to be tarnished.

Nathaniel winced and furrowed his brow in pain.
âIâm sorry, I shouldnât have hit you,â Sonny apologized.
Sonny hit his right hand with his left in frustration.
Supporting himself with his hands, Nathaniel sat up and requested, âTell me about this inhibitor.
â
After wiping his tears, Sonny turned to Lonnie.
Sniffing, Lonnie began to report in a serious tone.
âDr.
Yusuf was also shocked to learn that you accidentally contracted the $404 virus infection.
Unfortunately, this inhibitor canât cure the infection.
It can only temporarily suppress the virus to prevent it from spreading further, allowing you to recover for a short time.
The effect can last for a maximum of one week.
â
âOnly one week?â
In other words, Nathaniel could stay in Forden for a maximum of seven days.
âBoss, you have to go back for treatment this time.
Dr.
Yusuf has already started developing the antidote and he needs you to go back for a blood test.
Donât you want to stay with Miss Lucinda after youâve recovered?â Sonny suggested.
Nathaniel pursed his lips tightly and fell into silence.
He couldnât forget the promise he made to Lucinda, which was recorded on her phone.
He had promised to disappear from her life one year later, so it wouldnât be easy to stay with her forever.
He remembered the plan Lonnie had mentioned last time.
Lost in thought, Nathaniel suddenly felt someone pulling on his clothes.
Startled, he realized it was Sonny.
âWhat are you doing?â he asked.
âThe medicine prescribed by the hospital wonât heal the wound on your back at all.
Dr.
Yusuf gave me an ointment that can treat S404 burns.
Let me apply it for you,â Sonny suggested.
Nathaniel knew Sonny was right.
Without hesitation, he removed his suit jacket and shirt, exposing his toned and muscular back.
In the middle of his back was a palm-sized burn.
