He could not endure this anymore.
Even though he was at the mercy of this man, Julian Shaw’s fingers were already moving ever so slightly.
However, before he could do anything, Susan Shelby stared at Julius Jenner and then thought for a moment before she suddenly spat a mouthful of spit at Julius ferociously.
Julius was caught off guard, as he had not expected that Susan would do this. He did not manage to avoid it in time so the spit struck his head and then flowed down slowly.
Julian was overjoyed at once. “Well done, Susie.”
Julius pulled a long face and clenched Susan's chin tightly with ferociousness. “Do you want to die?”
Susan sneered. “You can’t kill me! He awakened once recently and he has now disappeared. I believe that the two of us reached an agreement during that short time. We agreed that you would not be allowed to kill me and Julian.”
Julius’ expression changed for a moment before he looked at Susan with a gloomy expression. “That’s rather smart of you.”
“I’m only making a plausible guess,” said Susan without the slightest hesitation.
Julius looked at her with a strange gaze. “I can only say that you have a rather good understanding of him. In that case, he and you are bound together like good friends, huh?”
Julius then took a glance at Julian. “Tsk tsk tsk tsk. How does it feel to know that your wife is in love with another man?”
Julian acknowledged the fact that he was feeling immensely jealous in his heart. However, he only let out a cold grunt. He did not comment further on Julius’ remark.
Susan furrowed her brows. “What kind of nonsense are you talking about…”
She was about to explain herself when a gush of strange coldness swept over and overwhelmed her entire body all of a sudden.
Susan’s body froze at once.
The momentary coldness passed and was followed by a blazing heat that spread from Susan’s chest. Susan’s forehead became burning hot almost instantaneously.
Soon, she felt cold again.
It was cold for a while and then hot for a while.
This alternating hot and cold feeling became increasingly more frequent.
Soon, dense, fine sweat drops emerged on Susan’s forehead. Her entire body curled up involuntarily.
“What are you doing? Are you pretending to be sick?” Julius looked at Susan, sounding baffled.
Julian’s expression changed rapidly.
He realized something at once.
Susie was having... a flare-up!
“Susie!” He struggled to sit up and then endured the pain forcefully as he ran to Susie’s side right away.
The only thing he was thankful for now was that Willa Doyle had already concocted the medication, which was in his pocket now.
Julian procured the medication bottle with shaky hands and then took out two pills and stuffed them into Susan’s mouth.
Susan had yet to react to the situation when Julian made her swallow the medication forcefully.
He said in a deep voice, “Susie, five years ago, Mr. Clark did not hand over the method to eradicate the Errol Virus. I was using the simplified version of the medication to slow down the flare-up of the virus all this time.”
“What?!” Shock flashed past Susan’s eyes uncontrollably.
Since he had said this, Julian had no intention of hiding the truth anymore.
There was a large amount of information in that statement. Susan could not help getting caught in a daze.
Julian then added, “I didn’t have the courage to tell you the truth because I didn’t want you to endure the stress of knowing about this terrifying virus. Even though you misunderstood the relationship between me and Willa, I persisted all along and didn’t explain it to you.”
Susan took a deep breath. She was reacting to the situation slowly. “How are you going to explain what happened two years ago then?”
A look of deep thought flashed past Susan’s eyes as she began to connect the dots of Julian’s narration and the events that had taken place in the past.
While describing this, Julian recalled the situation and could not refrain from holding Susan’s hand anxiously. “Susie, I couldn’t let anything happen to you!”
A look of enlightenment flashed past Susan’s eyes indistinctly. “What were the conditions Willa proposed in order to provide me with the wonder drug?”
Julian took a deep breath and then looked at Susan. “She wanted me to be with her.”
