Chapter 804 Poisonous Heart Steven had heard of the danger faced by Samuel and Natalie, but he did not know of the details even on the way there. When Justin dropped that truth bomb, the color immediately drained from Stevenâs face. âWhat are you saying, Justin? What signs of aging? Donât speak of such nonsense!â
On the other hand, Natalie met Justinâs eyes and affirmed his words with a solemn nod.
âYes.â
Steven stared at Justin before turning to look at Natalie. In that instance, he felt as though he was struck by lightning. His mind went blank immediately.
Peering at Samuel, who was fast asleep on the bed, Natalieâs lips parted as she whispered, âSteven, Justin, letâs take this discussion to the study.â
The trio made their way into the study.
The second they step foot into the study, Steven exploded. âYou guys better tell me whatâs going on! Novaâs baby shower was going fine. Why did Holly faint out of a sudden? And why is Sam aging for no apparent reason?â
Natalie took a deep breath and began recounting the incident to Steven, including as much details as she could.
After listening to the whole story, Steven slammed his fist onto the table. âYara! That evil, vicious b*tch! I will make her life a living hell, so bad that she would regret being alive! How dare she did that to Nova! Not to mention using such despicable methods against you and Sam! She really deserves to die!â
At the side, Justin crossed his arms in front of his chest and announced coldly, âSorry to break it to you all, but sheâs dead.â
âWhat?â
âWhat?â
Both Steven and Natalie gasped upon hearing the groundbreaking news.
Natalieâs eye twitched as she glared at Justin icily. âWhy did you kill her? Yara does deserve to die, but you knew she had injected something into Samuel, so why did you act so rashly? Donât you know youâre indirectly harming Samuel this way?â
hollered Natalie.
âIt wasnât me who killed her.â Justin scowled as he defended himself. âOf course I knew Yaraâs feelings for Samuel! After she woke up, she told me the drug could rapidly increase oneâs age. The drug can make someone age ten years within a day.
Samuel is thirty this year. According to the normal lifespan of a human being, the most he has to live is five to eight days. If we donât find the antidote by then, Samuel would die of physical deterioration due to old age.â
Natalie had long prepared for such news ever since she saw the gray hairs. However, hearing it from Justin made her heart feel like it was being thrust by a sharp knife.
âHow did she die?â Natalie pressed on.
âYaraâs intention was to harm you, not Samuel,â remarked Justin with great sorrow. âThe first thing she wanted to do when she woke up was to save Samuel. The antidote was probably hidden by her in some secret hideout. Just as she was leading me there, someone shot her in the head from hundreds of meters away. She died on the spot.â
That was...
Natalie stumbled backward at the news. Her body stiffened as a chill crept down her spine.
âIâm guessing it was Yaraâs companion. They must have killed her upon the realization that she was about to expose the location of the base.â Justin balled his hands into fists. âBefore she died, I forced Yara to tell me about the clue to finding the antidote.
Unfortunately, what she gave me were only fragments of the whole picture. She mentioned something about G20 Coldbridge, the moon, a secret compartment... and thatâs about it.â
Steven roared in fury. âD*mn it! How on earth could there be such a vicious drug?â
âA drug could be poison or medicine. Itâs the heart of mankind thatâs truly vicious.â Tears started forming in Natalieâs eyes, but her gaze remained cold. âI donât care how much the enemies donât want their hideout to be exposed, or how much they donât want me to get my hands on the antidote. I am not giving up. It was because of me that he ended up like this. I donât care how he will become, I will choose him over and over again!â
âWhat about Sam?â queried Steven. âIf he finds out heâs going to age rapidly, his pride and ego would crush him. He definitely would not want to face you!â
