Female Novel
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!"novelbin
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.
