Chapter 403 Five Years


    Now, Mr. rk 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. rk and dashed outside right away.


    He wanted to cut up Mr. rk into 1,000 pieces, but M r. rk 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. rk 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 calcted 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 shed 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 yearster, 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. rk 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 shed past George’s eyes.

    "It''s almost time for Susie''s first re-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 ying 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 ying with Chessie for a very long time, yet Chessie had not even smiled at her


    once. As soon as Julian hade, 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 t o smack her buttocks.


    "How dare you!" Susan could not help ring 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 asionally in an attempt to express her opinion with great effort.


    Her chubby, pinkish appearance was truly so adorable that it was almost illegal.


    Julian had not mentioned the Errol Virus to Susan. Instead, he had been acting as if nothing had


    happened and keeping Susanpany all the time.


    He waited until night time to add a sleeping pill into the warm water Susan drank before bed.


    He injected a dose of the antidote into Susan when she was sleeping deeply.


    The translucent liquid was injected into Susan''s body. An ineffable,plicated gaze shed past


    Julian’s eyes.


    Five years. He only had five years.


    He had to develop a full version of the antidote in the next five years. Otherwise, his Susie would


    leave him for eternity.


    No, he could not allow that to happen.


    Just thinking about the possibility of losing Susie made Julian feel as if his heart was being torn


    apart. Facing this scenario in real life would be impossible.


    "Susie, I won''t let anything happen to you. Trust me,"


    muttered Julian softly as if he was vowing.


    He lowered his head and gave Susan a gentle kiss on the forehead.


    Then, he stretched out his hand cautiously and smoothed Susan''s slightly furrowed brows gently.


    Late at night, Julian discovered a silhouette standing o n the balcony and exhaling smoke when he


    went downstairs.


    He opened the balcony door.


    "You can’t sleep either, huh?" George turned around and looked at him. "Want a cigarette?"


    Julian shook his head. "No, Susie doesn''t like the smell of cigarettes."


    "I see." George was stunned for a moment before he put out his cigarette swiftly as well.


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


    "I went and asked at the research center." There was a n ineffable worried look in George''s eyes.


    "The Errol Virus is an unprecedented virus thatbines 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 veryplex mutation like this one."


    It was apparent that Julian was well-acquainted with this issue too. Fatigue shed past his eyes


    involuntarily. "In addition to the mutation of the PA virus, the virus alsobines 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. rk. The mutated PA Virus was even more terrifying and


    frantic. When it wasbined 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. "W e 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 o f us. It’s better if we do not tell the others. They won''t b e 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.
