After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
Chapter 979

Chapter 979

It seemed she was incredibly tired.

Franklin lifted her horizontally out of the tub, carried her to the bedroom outside, and laid her on the bed.

After a few days without proper rest, she slept particularly soundly.

Franklin then cleaned himself up before lying down beside her, stretching his arm to hold her close.

The other few were so tired they didn't bother eating and went straight to sleep after showering.

They slept until the next morning when it was bright outside.

As everyone got up, the housekeeper had already prepared breakfast.

The housekeeper was serving porridge, steaming millet porridge being set one by one on the dining table.

Jasper hadn't had such a warm bowl of porridge in days and felt very emotional, "It's good to be alive."

Clare and Louis also sat down at the dining table, Louis picked up a buttered toast, "This buttered toast looks good." Sylvia woke up to replace it was already bright outside, the sun high in the sky.

It was a sunny day.

Given the heat, with temperatures around 36 or 37 degrees Celsius, the shallow standing water would soon evaporate.

The deeper water would probably need to be pumped out for flood control.

But the presence of the sun meant there was hope.

Indeed, as she and Franklin entered the dining room, they heard Jasper and others enthusiastically discussing the drainage issue.

"Now they don't need us anymore. The rain stopped yesterday, and today the sun is out. What's left is searching for those who went missing and managing flood control." Franklin led Sylvia by the hand to sit down, handing her a pair of forks.

The long-missed sunshine streamed through the windows into the dining room, a gentle breeze lightly touching the curtains. All of this made people yearn and excited. "Finally, there's sunshine..." Sylvia curled her lips into a smile. "That's great."

"Don't be so sentimental, eat your breakfast," Clare served Sylvia a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling), "Have you been exhausted these days?"

Sylvia nodded, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"

"We came to deliver supplies and check if you were safe," Clare spread his hands, "We couldn't contact you, and I was really worried, so Mr. Fox and I came." Sylvia glanced at Louis, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home?"

"It's also for the safety of my junior," Louis handed Sylvia a poached egg, "Look how thin you've become."

Sylvia helplessly shook her head, "Whether it's dumplings or eggs, I can't eat anymore."

"What's wrong with being the group's pet?" Louis spoke again, "When I saw the flood in Larro, my heart almost stopped."

Sylvia made a face and reached for her phone. It had been charging all last night and was full.

As soon as she turned it on, she received countless Facebook messages and many missed call alerts.

Almost jamming her phone.

There were calls from Evie, Clare, Louis, Mollie.

Logan called... also Poppy and James, Romeo...

Even Ashlyn and Mrs. Ritter had sent Facebook messages?

Sylvia was shocked.

Weren't this mother and daughter wishing for her death every day? How come they were concerned about her now? Surprised indeed.

Among the bunch of Facebook messages, she noticed one from Isaac.

"With your personality, you must have gone to help with the rescue. Take care of your health."

"When the flood is over, I'll treat you to a meal, I miss you."

Sylvia thought for a while and replied, "I'm going to Aettosa soon, let's meet up when I get back."

Isaac did not reply to her, and she didn't mind, replying to other people's messages and then putting down the phone.

"Don't play with your phone while eating. Bad habit," Clare frowned at her, "Eat properly, Mr. Fox is right, look how thin you are."

The tone of an elder...

Sylvia felt like she was being treated like a three-year-old child.

But she still put down her phone obediently, nodding, "Okay."

Franklin's eyes flickered with amusement. The big boss, Mrs. Maskelyne, now managed like a little kid, a heartwarming yet amusing sight.

He also glanced at Clare, "Uncle's lesson is correct."

After breakfast, Franklin went to the office with Jasper.

These past few days, due to the flood, everyone in the company had stayed at home.

Now that the sun was out and the water on the roads was slowly receding, it was possible to go back to work.

The whole city was reviving, bustling, the overpasses filled with traffic.

However, just after getting into the Bentley, when Jasper had just started the car, Franklin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He frowned and covered his chest. Just then, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.

The vivid blood flower bloomed in midair, startling Jasper into slamming the brakes, "Master?"

Franklin's face turned pale as he shook his head and grabbed a tissue to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Jasper also hastily grabbed a tissue to wipe the blood on the car. "Master, what happened? Did you get hurt during the rescue? Or what? We should go to the hospital now." Franklin shook his head, "No need..."

He guessed he knew what was going on.

Sylvia was right; the poison from Countless Love Ties had not been fully cleansed.

Now... it was manifesting.

"Master? You're seriously injured," Jasper's eyes filled with anxiety and worry. "Can you really not go to the hospital?"

So much blood-so terrifying!

"I've been poisoned... Sylvia knows what it is. First, to the office," Franklin leaned back in his seat, signaling him to drive.

Jasper pursed his lips and reluctantly started driving forward again.

When they reached the office, Franklin went straight to his office to start working.

Jasper secretly called Sylvia and told her everything that happened on the road.

Sylvia was stunned, her heart thumping violently, her hands uncontrollably trembling, "He vomited blood? Okay, got it. I'll figure something out." After hanging up, she sat blankly on the couch, only one thought in her mind.

The poison had manifested!

Franklin's poison had manifested!

She took a while to calm herself and contacted Casey Gentry from the Blood Medical Sect, "Can you cure the poison from Countless Love Ties?"

Casey didn't reply on Facebook; instead, he called directly, "Benefactor, what happened? Did someone get poisoned?"

"My husband," Sylvia replied indifferently, "I used your antidote pills which only superficially cured him, but didn't fully eradicate the poison. Now it has manifested. Do you have a way to cure it?" Casey naturally held Sylvia in high regard and was ready to help, "I haven't encountered Countless Love Ties before, so I can't guarantee it. How about I go to Larro to meet you?"

"No need, we are heading to Aettosa the day after tomorrow. We can meet there," Sylvia decided promptly. "I hope you can cure this poison."

"I'm not fully confident as it's as notorious as the Love Parasite, not easy to break," Casey spoke and then added, "What about this, I'll bring a few experts from our Blood Medical Sect, and we'll head there together."

"Thank you," Sylvia didn't waste words with Casey and hung up the phone.

Franklin must not die.

In the evening, when Franklin finally returned to Townyer Villa.

As he walked through the door, Sylvia immediately approached him. "How was today?"

Franklin took off his coat, "Everything was fine in the company."

"I didn't ask about the company, I asked about you," Sylvia's face tensed, "Do you think you're made of iron?"

The man was momentarily stunned, immediately realizing Jasper must have reported to Sylvia.

He smiled and affectionately pinched Sylvia's smooth cheek, "I'm not made of iron, see? I'm fine, right?"

Sylvia still looked stern, "We're about to fly to Aettosa for the trial, Franklin, I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Don't worry, there's nothing serious so far, just vomited blood this morning, but nothing else throughout the day," Franklin wrapped his arms around her, drawing her into his embrace. "With a doctor by my side, what's there to fear?"

Sylvia sighed deeply, "But I can cure others, yet I can't remove your poison! Countless Love Ties isn't an ordinary poison. It's as notorious as the Love Parasite, very difficult to crack..."

Even the medical family of Blood Medical Sect found it challenging.

Why did she and Franklin have to encounter this kind of poison?

She felt inexplicably irritable.

But she knew better than to add pressure by dwelling on it.

She looked at him wearily, "Let's eat. Uncle and my master are waiting for you."

So the two of them went to the restaurant together.

Meanwhile, inside the Blood Medical Sect, Casey dashed out of her room excitedly, shouting, "My benefactor, my idol, it's time for us to help!"

Carmelo Gentry, who was watching TV, was startled, "Master, what's wrong?"

Others also came out of their rooms, "What's going on?"

"Yeah, does Miss Andrews need help?"

Casey nodded vigorously, "Exactly! Miss Andrews just called me!"

So, he explained the situation in detail.

Casey's father pondered for a moment, "The poison of Countless Love Ties is not easy to cure. Take some of our clan's experts with you, and make sure to help Miss Andrews. She seems like someone who doesn't easily ask for help."

"I know, I know." Casey nodded, "Okay, dad, you notify the experts."

When the people of the Blood Medical Sect heard that they were going to help the big shot Sylvia, they felt obligated to help.

After all, the Healing Herb she had given them back then was not given in vain, since she had been willing to donate it.

Now, they naturally wanted to return the favor.

So, they packed up their things and headed to the airport in a mighty procession.

Casey and Carmelo led the team, feeling proud and domineering, as if they were just short of having "Help!" written on their faces.

Just as they were setting off, Sylvia, Franklin, and the Gibson family also set off for Aettosa.
