After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities -
Chapter 237
“I'll believe everything you tell me. You don't need to show anyevidence.” Franklin gazed at her affectionately as if he wanted to readher thoughts.
Sylvia was taken aback and replied, "Thank you for your trust, Mr.Maskelyne."
Franklin drawled solemnly, "Sylvia, although you refused to admit it, Icould feel the big change in your attitude toward me. Do I mean nothingto you? Honestly?"
Sylvia's expression froze for a while. Finally, she said, "I'm hungry.What would you like for lunch?"
"Don't try to distract my attention. You are lame in changing the subjectthis time."
Sylvia looked away. Without looking at him, she could still feel himstaring at her.
Heaving a sigh, she asked, "How could we be together, Franklin?"
“If not, why were we married for four years? You could marry me in thepast, and so can you now. We'll be together forever in the future,”Franklin retorted determinedly.
Sylvia checked on her left palm, where she saw the dark skin. Her wristhad also become bruising.
She naturally pulled down her sleeve to cover them. “Let's talk about itsome other day.”
She had a virus, and now, she was poisoned by a drug from NN terrorgroup. Sylvia didn't know if she could be detoxified, and she must figureit out at present.
Therefore, she decided to put aside her personal feelings for the timebeing.
She strode forward under the sun, but sorrow and worry filled her heart.Sylvia wore disposable rubber gloves in the kitchen before making anoodle bowl.
It was simple, but making the noodle bowl delicious was challenging.She had to control the gas and the sauce perfectly.
Shortly after, she finished cooking the noodle and several stir-frieddishes.
Sitting at the table, Franklin browsed the noodle and the dishes oneafter another. They all looked appealing and smelt good.
As usual, Franklin tasted the noodle first. "Yummy!"
Then he picked up a piece of beef and took a bite.
His table manner was elegant, like a nobleman's.
No matter what he did, he was pleasant to the eye.
With a smile, Sylvia started eating her noodle.
She didn't take off the disposable rubber gloves. Franklin frowned,"Why didn't you take off the gloves?"
He didn't see her wearing the gloves often, feeling weird.
Sylvia checked on them and answered, “I'll do the dishes later, so I willtake them off after that.”
“You don't need to do dishes." Franklin wiped his lips with a napkin."We have maids."
Sylvia chuckled, "I like wearing them."
Franklin's eyes darkened. He sensed something wrong.
However, he knew he couldn't get an answer if he insisted on askingSylvia as long as she was unwilling to tell him.
At midnight, a private jet landed slowly.
Franklin woke up Sylvia next to him. "We've arrived.”
Sylvia slowly opened her eyes. After staring at him blankly for a while,she finally sobered. "I see. Let's get off."
Since the afternoon, she felt sleepy. After boarding the flight, she sleptall the way.
Even though she was woken up, she still battled her sleepiness.Earlier, Sylvia messaged Logan to let him check the drug developed byNN terror group. She wondered if he had found anything.
After getting off the flight, they sat in a Bentley.
Sylvia struggled to keep awake, turned on her phone, and logged intoFacebook.
Logan sent her a message several hours ago. "Boss, there are threetypes of drugs from NN terror group. None has the antidote. The oneyou've been drugged with will gradually make you become a child,according to the symptoms. It's named Rejuvenator. You'll lose yourintelligence and become like a three-year-old. The drug will ruin yournerve system and destroy your brain. The brain is the first to get hurt,and then your nerves. You'll become paranoid, waiting for deatheventually.”
Sylvia's eye pupils constricted. She gazed at this message.
“The brain is the first to get hurt, and then your nerves. You'll becomeparanoid, waiting for death eventually.
She couldn't accept it.
"After the poison took effect, how long do I have before dying? Lilianspat blood pretty soon. Will I be like her as well?" Sylvia replied.
Since dealing with Lilian, Franklin had paid attention to Sylviawholeheartedly. He instantly sensed Sylvia's mood change.
“What happened to her?" His intuition told him she had hiddensomething from him.
A bad hunch raised in his heart.
However, his integrity wouldn't allow him to sneak a glance at Sylvia'schat messages.
Sitting next to her, he glanced at her from time to time.
Sylvia was too shocked and horrified to notice Franklin. Also, shewaited for Logan's reply in silence.
Logan didn't make her wait long. He replied to her shortly after, "Boss,you weren't poisoned severely, so it wouldn't be that soon. However,you don't have much time left. Three months at the most.”
Sylvia gritted her teeth. “Look for the method to detoxify the drug. Liliancould have bought the drug, and so could we. Buy it. We can study andresearch the antidote.”
"Yes, Boss. I'll get it done now."
Sylvia quit Facebook, leaning against the seatback.
Closing her eyes, she felt bothered.
The drug would make her regress into a child.
Lilian was only a maid. Sylvia wondered how she could have managedto contact NN terror group.
“Did someone aim to harm Franklin?’
Her mind was jumbled.
The car was parked in front of Townyer Villa. Franklin stared at the eye-closed woman intensely. "Sweetie, we're home."
Sylvia was always highly alert, but she failed to wake up immediatelythis time.
Frowning, Franklin patted her cheeks. "Sweetie?"
He couldn't believe she was sleeping so soundly.
She had slept back to Larro but still looked sleepy.
Something was indeed wrong.
Suddenly, Jasper's phone rang. "Okay. I see. All right. I'll inform MasterFranklin."
Franklin gazed at him, his eyes dark. “What happened?”
"Master Franklin, it's Lilian's autopsy,” Jasper hurriedly reported to him,“The butler said the result of her autopsy had been announced. Shepainted her whole body with a drug named Rejuvenator from NN terrorgroup. Before you shot her, she had overdosed, so she died fast.”Franklin's eyes became cold. "Rejuvenator? One of the three mostfamous drugs from NN terror group? How did Lilian contact them?Check it."
"Yes, Master Franklin.”
Franklin carried Sylvia in his arms and got off the car.
After returning home, he put her on the bed and entered the bathroomfor a shower.
The sound of the running water woke Sylvia up on the soft bed. Shewas taken aback for a while before realizing she had been in TownyerVilla.
Dizzily, she sat up, rubbing her forehead.
