Chapter 538: Long Time No See

Seeing that Xia Yu still didn’t speak, Xu Wen became genuinely angry. She was already pregnant, and this Xia Yu still wouldn’t give her the antidote?

“No problem, I’ll just die with the child, since you don’t care anyway.” She shoved Xia Yu aside and flopped onto the bed with force.

“Be careful! Be careful with the baby!” Xia Yu quickly moved to support her. “How could I not care? But… but I don’t have the antidote.”

He finally confessed. The organization he worked for only made various poisons; they didn’t have any antidotes.

Peter was an expert in torturing people, and Xia Yu, being his trusted aide, was naturally influenced. Besides making various poisons to torture others, he had never considered saving anyone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wen sat up abruptly on the bed. “What? No antidote? You!”

She reached out to slap him, but Xia Yu caught her hand and his eyes showed a fierce glint.

Xu Wen quickly adjusted her demeanor and lowered her head, but her eyes were filled with hatred.

It turned out Xia Yu never had the antidote. He had been using her all along, never intending to care about her life or death.

But she knew she couldn’t anger him now. When she looked up again, tears streamed down her face. “I’ve suffered so much for you and now I’m carrying your child. How can you say there’s no antidote?”

Seeing her like this, and remembering she was pregnant, Xia Yu softened and comforted her gently.

Remembering he had once mentioned the snow lotus flower when drunk, Xu Wen devised a plan. “Xia Yu, didn’t you say Gu Chen was also poisoned? If his poison can be cured with the snow lotus flower, can’t mine be cured too?”

“How do you know about the snow lotus flower?” Xia Yu squeezed her hand tightly, causing Xu Wen to cry out in pain.

She realized she had touched a nerve and quickly explained it was from when he was drunk, repeatedly assuring him she hadn’t told anyone else about it. Only then did Xia Yu relax his grip.

“Don’t worry about this. Tell your family you’re feeling unwell and stay in the hospital for now. I’ll figure out the rest.” Xia Yu spoke coldly before leaving the room.

He was already regretting mentioning the snow lotus flower. If Peter found out, he would be in grave danger.

The snow lotus flower was something Peter had mentioned to him. Peter’s health was deteriorating, and he was also searching for the antidote for Gu Chen’s poison. If Gu Chen died, Peter and Old Mr. Brown probably wouldn’t survive long either.

As someone privy to these matters, Xia Yu naturally knew more than others.

But he had only heard of the snow lotus flower and had never seen it. It seemed he would have to use the organization’s resources, or else what would happen to his child?

Xia Yu hadn’t slept well for several days. To prevent affecting Xu Wen’s pregnancy, he increased her medication dosage, but it could only alleviate pain, not eliminate the poison in her blood. He knew that if the mother carried toxins, the child might not survive either.

After several sleepless nights and leveraging some connections, he finally found out where the snow lotus flower was now, in possession of the Brown Group.

Jason had controlled all research and raw materials in the labs, including the precious snow lotus flower. After Jason’s death, all of it passed to Charlie, meaning the snow lotus flower was now in Charlie’s hands.

Compared to Peter, Xia Yu wasn’t really afraid of Charlie. Almost everyone in the Brown family accepted that Peter was the future head. Jason never fought for anything and was Peter’s blood brother, so there was no competition. Charlie, being an illegitimate child, wasn’t taken seriously.

Knowing that Charlie had frequent interactions with Song Fan, Xia Yu understood why Peter insisted on watching over Charlie, fearing he might ally with outsiders.

But Xia Yu couldn’t consider all that now. The first three months of pregnancy were critical; he had to get the snow lotus flower to detoxify Xu Wen.

Finding out which hotel Charlie was staying at, Xia Yu decided to try his luck personally.

Confident in his skills and abilities, Xia Yu believed he could get the snow lotus flower from Charlie, who was just at a hotel.

Unfortunately, as soon as he entered the floor where Charlie was, he was surrounded by several people.

Charlie, dressed in pajamas, looked at him with a smile. “Doctor, long time no see.”
