Chapter 311
The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife
While Eder was fast asleep, Grace carefully laid him on the hospital bed, covered him with a blanket, and quietly left the room. She went to find Mark.
âDoctor, since the laboratory has already obtained this blue potion, is it possible to replicate something similar or develop an antidote based on its ingredients?â Grace asked.
Markâs expression turned serious, and he pondered for a while before shaking his head. âSeveral of the components in this potion have no existing data in our laboratory. Iâve checked, and it doesnât seem to be a medicine from our country.â
Pausing for a moment, he continued, âThe $401 bioâvirus cannot be cured with a typical antidote. If Nick could produce a targeted antidote, it definitely wouldnât be from our country, and it would involve core technologies.â
However, this was only speculation since he hadnât seen the medicine, so he couldnât be certain. Grace carefully considered his words.
Her plan was to observe Ederâs condition after using the blue potion and then decide whether to continue dealing with Nick after some time.
Eder slept for a whole day and night.
When he woke up again. Mark immediately examined him.
Eder cooperated, but his face remained cold. He didnât even glance at Grace..
His body absorbed the potion effectively. The degenerative symptoms had completely vanished, and even his angina had improved. The virus spread also decreased significantly compared to before.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, except Eder, who showed no expression on his face, On their way back to their residence, Grace prepared to support him, but he evaded her, his expression indifferent.
âNo need; my body has already recovered. I donât need any assistance,â he said.
As she watched his tall figure enter the villa alone, Grace stood there, stunned.
Eric approached her quietly and comforted her in a low voice: âMiss Grace, please donât worry. Master Eder is always like this. No one has ever forced him to do anything. This time itâs not a trivial matter, and he feels uncomfortable. It will pass in a few days.â
âI know.â
Grace followed silently into the villa. Eder went straight upstairs and closed the door without saying a word to her. Grace felt a bit uncomfortable but didnât say anything. She silently returned to her own room/
The next morning, she was awakened by a commotion in the garden.
She walked to the small balcony to take a look.
Eder was wearing only a thin black shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his muscular arms.
He was exercising, performing precise combination punches, accompanied by the morning dew on the leaves. His handsome face seemed to have regained its former aloofness, filled with a sense of detachment.
Grace focused on watching his agile figure and felt it necessary to applaud and cheer him on 12:18 The Milbumine and His Billionaire Tx wide Eder heard the sound, stopped his movements, but didnât turn to look at Grace on the balcony. Instead, he entered the villa and quickly put on the suit hanging in the foyer. Then he left.
Grace remained standing on the balcony, watching him leave. This was the first time Eder had given her the cold shoulder for such a long time.
She casually tucked her hands into her pockets and smiled lazily. She was curious to see how long Eder could hold on this time.
As soon as Eder arrived at the Grant Residence and sat in his office chair, he heard an urgent knock on the door.
âBoss. Nick is missing!â
âWhat happened?â
âThe guards were drugged and left barely alive. Nick, who was tortured to the brink of death, was taken away. When Enzo and his men went to check in the morning, the bloodstains in the room had dried up.
Itâs estimated that he has been gone for a day.â
Ederâs expression turned cold.
To drug the guards in the special interrogation room, it wasnât something an ordinary person achieve unless it was someone familiar within the organization.
âWhat has Adam been up to recently?â Eder asked.
could Eric checked the attendance records and replied, âMaster Adam has been busy with Sarahâs case lately and canât spare any time.â
Eder sneered. âWhatâs so difficult about investigating Sarahâs case that he needs to be busy for several days in a row?â
âWhat do you mean, Boss?â Eric asked.
Ederâs cold gaze didnât waver. âI donât mean anything. They are still brothers after all. If we release him, we release him. Torturing him for a while to let off some steam is enough.â
Nick held the 5404 antidote secret in his hands. Eder couldnât take Nickâs life right now, and Nick himself knew this very well, so he wouldnât divulge anything no matter what.
After thinking for a moment, Eder continued, âHowever, Adamâs method of saving people is highly problematic. Send someone to investigate symbolically and find evidence to throw at him. He should be punished according to the rules!â
âYes, boss.â
Eric didnât leave infnediately. He struggled internally before speaking up: âBoss, When do you plan to soften your approach towards Miss Grace?â
Eder remajfied expressionless and silent.
Eric gathered the courage to say a few more words: âIf you find a way to make amends now, while Miss Grace is not angry, and reconcile with her quickly, then you can have a sweet relationships with her in the future,â
âBut if you wait another two days and she becomes furious, It will all become your fault, boss.â
Eder furrowed his brows, radiating a chilling aura. He casually knocked the coffee cup off his desk.
Aloud crash resounded.
Ericâs face turned pale with fright, and he quickly stepped back, avoiding getting splashed by the wir coffee.
âI havenât settled the score with you for not obeying my orders a few days ago, and yet you still have the audacity to come saying this to me?â Eder said.
Eric lamented. âBoss, itâs a misunderstanding! If you even listen to Miss Graceâs words, how can I dare not listen to her? But rest assured, Boss, my loyalty will always be on your side!â
Eder maintained a stern expression and asked, his voice filled with soul searching. âIf thereâs another disagreement between me and her next time, whose side will you Eric responded decisively. âIâll take your side!â
Hmm! Iâll listen to Miss Grace attentively!
take?â
âAnd if I have an argument or cold war with her, whose side will you support?â Eder questioned.
Eric promptly replied, âIâll support you, Iâll support you! Do you even need to consider that? Iâll definitely help you persuade Miss Grace!â
Eder slammed the table abruptly, scolding. âThen hurry up and go to her to make your presence known! Let her be the one to soften up first this time!â
Eric understood.
On the day when Eder had been forcefully injected with the potion, his attitude had been so firm. but within two days, he had gone running to Grace to be attentive, which made him lose face!
âDonât worry, Boss. I will cherish the opportunity to redeem myself with my efforts!â Eric exclaimed with a sycophantic smile.
âWaitâ
Eder regained his composed expression and called him back. âClean up the mess on the floor before you leave.â
Eric felt a twinge of frustration internally, but his face smiled like a sunflower. âSure thing. Boss! You can trust me to take care of it, and I guarantee it will be spotless within two minutes!â
Eder responded with an âHmmâ and reminded him in a low voice, âDonât mention that it was me who said it. Do you understand?â
âI understand. I absolutely wonât tell her!â Eric assured him.
A few minutes later, Eric finished tidying up the CEOâs office and quietly returned to his own office. He immediately took out his phone and called Grace.
As soon as the call connected, he began his pitiful fake sobbing: âMiss Grace! Master Eder got angry and took it out on me. He threatened to deduct my salary, booâhoo! Please help me, be my advocate!â
Grace was startled by the exaggerated crying at the end.
It was truly unimaginable how Eric, who stood over six feet tall, would look with such an affected expression. Hmm!
She coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness. âAlright, in a couple of days, Iâll have him give you a bonus. But did you tell him what I told you?â
Eric cried even louder. âI did! But he refused! He even said this time itâs up to you to soften first. How about.. we give in to him this time?â
