The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 414 A Story From The Olden Days

Julian Shaw listened attentively.

Now, everything that Joseph Shaw said could very possibly determine Susie's future destiny.

"We collected quite a large quantity of red grass and were planning to return originally. The person that was already fine suddenly dropped unconscious and his body became stiff. He stopped breathing at once. W e panicked." Joseph felt lingering fear as he recalled the situation on that very day. "At the time, while we were scared out of our wits, two people appeared. It was an old man and a woman. The old man took action by injecting my companion with a dose of medication. Then, he awakened."

"Soon, we learned that the desert had not produced such a large quantity of red grass in the beginning. It was these two people's meticulous care and effort for two years that had cultivated the red grass to the current scale. The old man was an extremely outstanding doctor. He told us that red grass was genuinely effective at suppressing and even eradicating the Errol Virus, but it had to go through a series of processing first. Consuming it raw was highly toxic. Afterward, the old man learned that I had many subordinates who had been infected by the Errol Virus. He did not hesitate to take out the result of his research over the years and head back to the base with me. It turned out that he had already

developed a medication specifically targeted at the Errol Virus by using the red grass as the main ingredient. After an injection of the new medication, the Errol Virus would be suppressed and the infected person's health would improve slowly.

"My subordinates have been treated for a year now. They were supposed to have a flare-up one year ago, but due to the usage of this medication, their condition has instead been taking a favorable turn. The Errol Virus could be eradicated completely in two to three more years."

The story told by Joseph exuded the vibe of a legend.

Julian did not believe it completely. His brows were tightly furrowed as he made an inquiry. "I believe that the Errol Virus is Mr. Clark's special invention. Is that right? However, according to your statement, the old man in the desert had been studying this virus for some time. Who is he? Is he related to Mr. Clark?"

Julian could feel that there were too many coincidences in Joseph's story.

He had discovered the desert with the growing red grass coincidentally and then bumped into the mysterious old man that had been studying the Errol Virus. Were there really that many coincidences in this world?

"Why don't you let me explain this matter to you?"

Joseph was about to speak when a gentle voice was heard. A woman was standing by the door and looking over with a smile. She had an incomparably gorgeous face, and her eyes were particularly gorgeous. Her gaze exuded an enchanted feeling. "Please allow me to introduce Ms. Willa Doyle. The old man that I mentioned is actually her teacher." Joseph introduced her. Willa walked over gracefully and cracked a brilliant smile at Julian.

She extended her hand. "Mr. Shaw, my name is Willa Doyle. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please kindly advise

H me.

"Hello." Julian shook Willa's hand and then let go of it quickly.

An unusual look flashed past Willa's eyes as she looked at his nonchalant gaze.

She was extremely confident about her appearance. She could describe her current self as a stunning miracle of the human world. However, Julian's gaze remained unchanged.

So it was true. Other than Susan Shelby, no one else was worthy in his eyes?

Suppressing the fluctuating emotions in her heart, Willa smiled and said, "I can help explain everything related to my teacher, Mr. Shaw."

Willa took a seat then and spoke slowly. "In the past, Mr. Clark apprenticed under the renowned virologist Stephen when he was studying in America. He was gifted with extraordinary talent and skilled in both western and traditional medicine. In just a few years, h e surpassed his mentor Stephen."

"Mr. Clark's teacher was actually Stephen!" It was the first time Julian learned about this, so he could not help expressing his astonishment with his eyes for a moment.

Stephen Grand was one of the most famous virologists of the century in the world. Even though he had already passed away more than a decade ago, it had not affected his status in this profession in the slightest. This was mainly due to the fact that he had created a rather terrifying virus through artificial synthesis. This virus was highly virulent, so it was capable of destroying the human body's immune system upon entering the body and would cause the death of a person in a few months.

An accidental leak of this virus occurred afterward and almost resulted in a huge catastrophe. Fortunately, Stephen's wife, Tanya South, a pharmaceutical research fellow whose reputation was known all over the world, had managed to replace a medication to treat the virus within a very short time and stop this catastrophe from happening.

After that incident, Stephen had not partaken in the research of any related fields anymore. Julian had no idea that he had actually taken an apprentice in secret.

As if she could sense Julian's astonishment, Willa chuckled and said, "Stephen promised Tanya that he would never lay a hand on the virus anymore from then on. However, he put in the effort of his lifetime in this field after all. He was recalcitrant to bench the research of his lifetime during his older years. Thus, he found Mr. Clark and his passion for discovering talent was ignited. He passed down all his knowledge to Mr. Clark. Stephen took this apprentice in secret so almost no one knew about it."

"If almost no one knew about it, how come you know about it?" asked Julian.

"Stephen might have been able to hide from others, but he could not hide from the person closest to him, and that was his wife," Willa said. "Tanya discovered this. She believed that this virus was a harmful thing to mankind so she stopped Stephen from passing down this knowledge. Stephen refused to abide because Mr. Clark, who combined western and traditional medicine, was improving at a shocking speed. He could not bear to abandon a good seedling like this. At the same time, Stephen discovered the miraculous effect of traditional Chinese medicine during this process. Afterward, Mr. Clark finished his apprenticeship. Tanya felt uneasiness creeping in her heart for some unknown reason when she found some research replaceings left behind by Mr. Clark and Stephen. Soon, she came to Canada, accepted an apprentice who ventured in both western and traditional medicine, and passed on the knowledge of pharmaceutical production only to him." "This person is your teacher." Julian was enlightened. "Yes," answered Willa. "Tanya had been constantly afraid that Mr. Clark would endanger society over the years. As a result, she had been monitoring Mr. Clark's situation closely in secret. When the Errol Virus was created, she did everything she could. She acquired a few tubes of viroplasma and joined my teacher to carry out research on the virus. Tanya passed away not long after the research started. My teacher continued the research alone. As a result, my teacher actually began to study the virus slightly earlier than you imagined. Mr. Clark was Stephen's apprentice, after all, and the Errol Virus was majorly influenced by Stephen too. Tanya was the person who knew Stephen the best, so my teacher was particularly familiar with the virus as a result. However, the Errol Virus lived up to its reputation as the most complex virus in the world. My teacher had been studying it for years, yet there wasn't much progress. It was only later on that my teacher discovered the red grass in Africa by accident. Upon analyzing it, he found that this medicinal herb had a certain suppressive effect on the Errol Virus. After this discovery, my teacher was elated. I followed my teacher and resided in the desert, where we cultivated the grass carefully. Then, we extracted the liquid of the grass and added some chemicals before we carried out drug design and molecular modeling. After experimenting with it for a few years, we managed to develop the right concentration that at last became the cure."
