Chapter 248

"Mr. Carson, it's okay. Did something happen to Jenna?" Sylvia had a

bad feeling.

She always felt that Aldo’s call must have something to do with Jenna.

"Yes." Aldo sighed and began to speak.

A minute later, Sylvia hung up the phone and saw Franklin staring at

her.

Sylvia's eyelashes trembled, "Franklin, I have to work tonight, go back.”

“I'll be here with you." Franklin faintly smiled.

She didn't need his company at all.

She just wanted to go to the lab of Longevity Pharmaceuticals to check

out what they found today.

The effect of Rejuvenator was getting stronger every day. If she didn't

cover her wrist with long sleeves. He would find her dark area of skin.

She was torn with anxiety.

She couldn't just wait here.

But she could do nothing with Franklin around.

She took a deep breath and hugged the man's strong waist, “Franklin,

you know what?"

Franklin held his breath, his heart beating wildly. His strong body was

slightly stiff. She not only took the initiative to kiss him today but now

hug him.

“I don't hate you anymore, I promise." Sylvia smiled beautifully.

She hooked her hands around Franklin's slender neck and sighed into

his ear, "What about me?" How do you feel about me?"

Franklin's voice was hoarse, "Sweetie."

He looked at Sylvia from head to toe, his eyes full of disbelief.

Sylvia suddenly reached out and kneaded Franklin's ear, His red lips

came to his lips. She kissed him. "I want you!"

Franklin's eyes were frighteningly bright as he stared at Sylvia's

delicate red lips like a hungry wolf.

The next second, he kissed her madly. Just then, a silver needle

appeared on the fingertip that Sylvia hooked his neck with!

She stabbed him in the neck.

He felt as if bitten by an ant rose, followed by a sense of numbness

rushing to the brain.

Franklin's eyes were as red as a bloodthirsty ghost in hell, "Sylvia! How

dare you!"

Sylvia laughed, jumped off Franklin's body, and threw a kiss at him.

"Franklin, I'm sorry. I'll ask Jasper to pick you up.”

Franklin fell on the ground, and at the moment he fell, he saw Sylvia

take off her white coat and walk out.

She lied! She was not going to work. What was she going to do? She

didn't want him to know!

Looking at her back, Franklin felt angry.

The situation was somewhat out of his control.

What was the secret of the little woman?

He wanted to chase her out, but the anesthesia worked, and he slowly

closed his eyes.

At the lab of Longevity Pharmaceuticals, Sylvia sat at the conference

table and tried her best to keep her spirit high as she listened to the

presentations of the eight researchers.

"So, we've made no progress, right?" Sylvia rubbed her brow wearily.

"All of you, go out. Leave the reports on the table.”

The researchers walked out full of shame.

Logan sat down next to her worriedly, "Boss, how are you? Are there

any other symptoms today?"

Sylvia took off her gloves. Her wrist had been eroded by the poison.

“I'm exhausted. Logan, if it doesn't work..." Sylvia was interrupted by

Logan before she could finish speaking, "Boss, you'll be fine. We will

find the antidote!"

"We must not give up until the last minute.” Logan looked at Sylvia's

haggard face and said with heartache. “The worst case scenario, I'll

sneak into NN terror group to get the antidote.”

"Do you think I didn't send people to try?" Sylvia chuckled, "But there is

no. They couldn't find anything."

She looked at the night sky outside the window. After a while, she

spoke, “Logan, I've invested in a movie! I don't know if I can live until

it's displayed.”

"Boss, you will. Now, take the medicine first." Logan got up and poured

Sylvia a glass of warm water.

Sylvia took a sip of the water and took a black pill.

This medicine was only a mental comfort. It didn't help at all.

Her eyes suddenly turned sharp. Since this was the case, she might as

well do what she wanted to do the most.

In Townyer Villa, Franklin slowly opened his eyes and saw Jasper

beside his bed.

Franklin cast a sharp gaze on Jasper, which startled him. “Mr.

Maskelyne?"

"How long did I sleep?" Franklin sat up and rubbed his brows. The

ruthless woman actually gave him such a heavy anesthetic, and he was

still a little uncomfortable.

He was in a black shirt with two buttons undone. His sexy collarbone

was exposed to the air and paired with messy hair, he looked

uninhibited.

“You slept for four hours." Jasper quickly replied, "It's already midnight.”

Franklin's voice was hoarse with a hint of coldness, "Where is Sylvia?"

"Miss Andrews," Jasper glanced up at Franklin, then quickly grabbed a

piece of document from the bedside table and handed it to Franklin,

"Mr. Maskelyne, you better look at this first.”

Franklin didn't speak. He took the document and turned to the first

page.

When he saw what was written on it clearly, he narrowed his eyes

slightly, looking irritable, “What is this? Sylvia is likely to be poisoned by

Rejuvenator?”

Jasper nodded heavily, "Yes. At that time, Lilian was covered with

medicine, which was very toxic and infectious once the skin was

touched. The consequences of it are unimaginable, the toxicity will

erode the brain, and the poisoned person will gradually have cerebral

palsy, and finally, atrophy, and die. All bodily functions will be degraded.

Miss Andrews does seem a little strange lately.”

Not just strange. She was weird!

Franklin thought of Sylvia's request when they were hooking up and of

the transparent gloves she wore all the time, and of the fact that she

anesthetized him tonight and escaped.

Damn it!

Now he was almost completely sure that Sylvia was poisoned.

"Get a car, go to Pearlhall Villa." Franklin lifted the quilt.

The next morning.
