“Don’t you dare!” Glaring at the other man, Cedrick uttered through gritted teeth, “Don’t forget who you are
working for, and whose orders you should be obeying.”
“Boss, I…” Nico swallowed nervously. He never thought that he would be forced to make such a choice. “Boss, listen
to Ms. Harris. The serum will treat your illness.”
Cedrick remained stubborn. “No, that’s impossible. Let me ask you again, whose orders are you going to obey?”
“He should listen to me,” Gwendolyn answered on Nico’s behalf. With her brows slightly raised, and a playful, yet
domineering smile on her red lips, she claimed, “Since you’re my man, your subordinate should listen to me.”
Cedrick was rendered speechless. Woman, what logic is that?

Having obtained her reassurance, Nico calmed down and started toward Cedrick determinedly.
Cedrick’s body turned cold as he tried to kick the approaching man.

“Let me do it.” Gwendolyn held out her hand.
Sighing in relief, Joshua passed the syringe to her.
Cedrick raised his head and stared into Gwendolyn’s eyes. “Gwenny, don’t do this.”
Gwendolyn leaned down and planted a kiss on his thin lips. She coaxed, “I’ll try to be gentle so I won’t hurt you.

“Don’t you yearn for a future where the two of us can live like ordinary people? Perhaps we’ll even have a cute
baby. Our wonderful future will begin from the moment your treatment begins.”
Their eyes met.
Cedrick listened to her words and found himself drawn in by her clear and starry eyes.
Gwendolyn took advantage of his distraction and stuck the needle into his internal jugular vein, carefully injecting
the serum into his body.
It only took a few seconds for the drug to take effect.
Cedrick’s body went limp, and his eyelids began to feel heavy. His dark eyes dimmed and weakened as drowsiness
enveloped his entire being.
“Prof. Mallory, what’s happening?“,
Joshua immediately checked on Cedrick’s condition. “Don’t worry. It’s normal for him to be in this weakened state
after being injected with the blue serum. Cedrick will be all right when he wakes up.”
