Waylon ended the call.
Luca returned the phone to Abel.
âMr. Waylon is coming soon,â Luca said.
Abel grabbed the phone and placed it next to the pool, shooting Luca a chilling stare that left him bewildered.
Did I say something wrong?
Abel gave Luca an order coldly, âGo wait at the gate. I just had a narrow escape. I donât want to disturb Emma when Waylon comes.â
âYes, Mr. Abel.â Luca scratched his head, got up and ran away.
Half an hour later, Waylon rushed over in a hurry.
He lived in Emmelineâs Macsen Villa, which was quite far away.
After receiving Lucaâs call, he drove as far as he could in the middle of the night.
Luca was indeed waiting at the gate.
âMr. Abel doesnât want to disturb Ms. Louise,â Luca explained politely to Waylon.
So, Waylon parked the car outside the gate and turned off the engine instead of driving into the yard.
He followed Luca to the backyard, where Abel was still soaking in the water.
The clear pool was filled with large blocks of ice that had not yet melted.
Waylon squatted down and touched the water temperature.
It was probably at the freezing point. The pool would have frozen over if it were not for the warm weather in September.
Abel looked exhausted, half of his body soaked in the icy water.
âDoes it still hurt?â Waylon asked, frowning.
âIt does hurt. But I can endure it.â Abel replied.
Waylon then grabbed his wrist to check his pulse.
He felt a strong and turbulent pulse, like a flood rushing down from a mountain.
Looking at Abel, he noticed his eyes were bloodshot, like a trapped beast.
His entire body was soaked in the icy water. The water had turned pink.
His blood vessels might have burst if he had not been immersed in the ice water.
âDeathly Desire?â Waylon slowly uttered these words.
Abel said, âI felt like I was dying just now. The pain was killing me. My whole body was in pain, from head to toe, both inside and out!â
Waylon said, âThatâs right. Thatâs how Deathly Desire works.â
Abel did not understand, âWaylon, Iâm dying, and youâre teasing me?â
âIâm not teasing you,â Waylon said, âI mean, you are poisoned by Deathly Desire, activated by desire.â
Abel suddenly realized, âThatâs right.â
Luca was very anxious, âMr. Waylon, you must help Mr. Abel detoxicate. Mr. Abel is still young, and he has just found Ms. Louise.â
Abel said, âYes, bro, you have to help me. I canât become a monk.â
âI certainly want to help you, butâ¦â
He suddenly stopped his words, scaring both Abel and Luca.
âWaylon, whatâs the matter?â
âMr. Waylon, you canât just say but like that.â
âThen how about, however?â Waylon said, âI am really at a loss. I canât detoxicate this poison.â
Splash! Abel slid into the water.
After choking on a sip of ice water, he stumbled out awkwardly.
âWaylon, itâs not a good time to joke.â Abel said.

âYeah, Mr. Waylon, youâve always been very serious,â Luca added.
Waylon replied, âHow could I be joking? Look at me. Do I look like Iâm joking?â
Both Abel and Luca looked at Waylon earnestly.
His expression was also solemn, and his clear and handsome face was more severe than ever.
Abel and Luca both were anxious.
âWaylon, donât say you canât save me.â
âYes, Mr. Waylon, you are a miracle-working doctor.â
âThe point isâ¦â
Waylon frowned and said, âDeathly Desire is an ancient formula of the Adelmar family, but it was destroyed decades ago. I only know the name of the ancient formula, but I have never seen the prescription or the antidote.â
âSince it is an ancient formula of the Adelmar family, Master Adelmar should know the antidote.â
Upon hearing this, Abel felt a glimmer of hope.
But Waylon shook his head immediately.
âMy father only looked at the ancient tome for a few seconds. He thought the prescriptions were too nasty and burned them with fire. How could he remember the antidote?â
