Female Novel
Chapter 237
"I'll believe everything you tell me. You don't need to show any evidence." Franklin gazed at her
affectionately as if he wanted to read her thoughts.
Sylvia was taken aback and replied, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Maskelyne."
Franklin drawled solemnly, "Sylvia, although you refused to admit it, I could feel the big change in your
attitude toward me. Do I mean nothing to 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 subject this time."
Sylvia looked away. Without looking at him, she could still feel him staring 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 the past, 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 wrist had also become bruising.
She naturally pulled down her sleeve to cover them. "Let's talk about it some other day."
She had a virus, and now, she was poisoned by a drug from NN terror group. Sylvia didn't know if she
could be detoxified, and she must figure it out at present.
Therefore, she decided to put aside her personal feelings for the time being.
She strode forward under the sun, but sorrow and worry filled her heart.novelbin
...
Sylvia wore disposable rubber gloves in the kitchen before making a noodle 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-fried dishes.
Sitting at the table, Franklin browsed the noodle and the dishes one after 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 will take 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 asking Sylvia 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 slept all the way.
Even though she was woken up, she still battled her sleepiness.
Earlier, Sylvia messaged Logan to let him check the drug developed by NN 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 into Facebook.
Logan sent her a message several hours ago. "Boss, there are three types of drugs from NN terror
group. None has the antidote. The one you've been drugged with will gradually make you become a
child, according to the symptoms. It's named Rejuvenator. You'll lose your intelligence and become like
a three-year-old. The drug will ruin your nerve system and destroy your brain. The brain is the first to
get hurt, and then your nerves. You'll become paranoid, waiting for death eventually."
Sylvia's eye pupils constricted. She gazed at this message.
'The brain is the first to get hurt, and then your nerves. You'll become paranoid, waiting for death
eventually.'
She couldn't accept it.
"After the poison took effect, how long do I have before dying? Lilian spat blood pretty soon. Will I be
like her as well?" Sylvia replied.
Since dealing with Lilian, Franklin had paid attention to Sylvia wholeheartedly. He instantly sensed
Sylvia's mood change.
'What happened to her?' His intuition told him she had hidden something from him.
A bad hunch raised in his heart.
However, his integrity wouldn't allow him to sneak a glance at Sylvia's chat messages.
Sitting next to her, he glanced at her from time to time.
Sylvia was too shocked and horrified to notice Franklin. Also, she waited 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. Lilian could have bought the drug,
and so could we. Buy it. We can study and research 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 managed to 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 immediately this 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 Master Franklin."
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. She painted her whole body with a drug named Rejuvenator from
NN terror group. Before you shot her, she had overdosed, so she died fast."
Franklin's eyes became cold. "Rejuvenator? One of the three most famous 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 bathroom for a shower.
The sound of the running water woke Sylvia up on the soft bed. She was taken aback for a while before
realizing she had been in Townyer Villa.
Dizzily, she sat up, rubbing her forehead.
