Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 403

Now, Mr. Clark was dead.

The disappointment in George Wright’s heart vanished in a second, as he still had to focus on the important matter at hand.

“Julian, what the heck is actually going on?” asked George.

Julian Shaw picked up Mr. Clark and dashed outside right away.

He wanted to cut up Mr. Clark into 1,000 pieces, but Mr. Clark was still useful to him. He could not let him die.

George had no idea what was going on so he could only follow Julian and charge outside.

Mr. Clark was taken to the military hospital nearby. After a series of emergency treatments, he still did not manage to pull through.

“He is an expert at the structure of the human body, so he naturally calculated the proper strength and angle for the crash.” Julian then said in a deep voice, “I overlooked that.”

“Julian! What the heck is going on? Is the antidote fake?” George could not help asking.

Grief flashed past Julian’s eyes at once.

“It’s true that this is the antidote, but it is only the simplified version of the antidote.” He then said slowly, “This antidote is only effective for five years. Five years later, the simplified version of the antidote will be rendered ineffective. A person who has been infected by the Errol Virus will still…”

Will still…

George figured out the words that Julian had yet to speak. He felt his chest tremble involuntarily.

“So where is the full version of the antidote then?” The volume of George’s voice increased abruptly.

“No one knows!” Julian said in despair. “Mr. Clark did develop the Errol Virus, but he was incapable of producing the antidote.”

“How could… this be?” George could not help feeling stunned as well.

That meant that Susie’s crisis had not been resolved yet, right?

“I still have five more years, I still have five more years.” Julian suddenly clenched his teeth. “I still have five more years, so there’s hope. He failed to develop the antidote, but I refuse to believe that we can’t develop an antidote in five years’ time by gathering the most outstanding expert pathologists and virologists in the entire world.”

“That’s right.” A gleam of hope flashed past George’s eyes.

“It’s almost time for Susie’s first flare-up. I must return home to see her first,” said Julian.

“I shall head to the research center to get an update then.” George stood up as well.

“Alright,” answered Julian before he rushed back to the Wrights.

Susan Shelby was playing with Chessie.

Upon seeing Julian, she raised Chessie’s hand. “Chessie, quick, smile at daddy.”

As if she understood Susan’s instruction, Chessie actually cracked a brilliant smile at Julian.

Her adorable appearance softened Julian’s heart at once.

“She loves you more. Chessie won’t smile at me,” said Susan enviously.

She had been playing with Chessie for a very long time, yet Chessie had not even smiled at her once. As soon as Julian had come, Chessie had smiled.

Julian concealed the sorrow in his eyes and cracked a gentle smile. He rubbed Susan’s head softly. “She won’t smile at you? Bad Chessie! Should I smack her buttocks?”

Julian assumed a different posture as if he was about to smack her buttocks.

“How dare you!” Susan could not help glaring at him.

Julian could not help smiling.

Chessie had no idea that she had just escaped a beating. She looked here and there and babbled to herself occasionally in an attempt to express her opinion with great effort.

The lit end of the cigarette was extinguished. The balcony was completely quiet.

“I went and asked at the research center.” There was an ineffable worried look in George’s eyes. “The Errol Virus is an unprecedented virus that combines a biological virus and a chemical toxin. The research center has already analyzed the biological structure of the Errol Virus. It is a mutation of a super virus known as PA Virus that caused panic in the world during the earlier years. We haven’t even found a medication capable of eradicating the PA Virus so far, let alone a medication for a very complex mutation like this one.”

It was apparent that Julian was well-acquainted with this issue too. Fatigue flashed past his eyes involuntarily. “In addition to the mutation of the PA virus, the virus also combines some chemical toxins perfectly. Even though the content of these chemical toxins has been analyzed as well, there is utterly no way to remove these toxins on their own due to their tight bond to the biological virus.”

George and Julian did not have a good understanding of medicine.

However, they had heard of the renowned PA Virus. Back in the day, this virus had caused an epidemic outbreak in tens of countries as soon as it had been discovered. There was no way to cure the virus, so the death rate of the infection had been over 80%. Had the virus been contagious, the terror of its reign would have been elevated by a few levels.

Now, the virus had been mutated by Mr. Clark. The mutated PA Virus was even more terrifying and frantic. When it was combined with chemical toxins, its death rate was almost 100%.

Joseph Shaw was the sole survivor so far.

The more he thought about the Errol Virus, the more hopelessness he felt in his heart.

The wind was blowing gently in the night. George and Julian remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, George patted Julian’s shoulder. “We still have five more years. We haven’t lost all hope yet.”

“We will surely find hope,” said Julian calmly.

A glint glimmered in George’s eyes. “Yes, we will certainly find hope.”

Julian was quiet for a while before he said, “There are some matters that should only stay between the two of us. It’s better if we do not tell the others. They won’t be able to help even if they know. They will only add to our worries.”

“I understand.” George nodded.

Julian stared into the vast night sky quietly.

The night was so dark that there was no telling if there was any light.
