Chapter 629
Spencer strode over to peruse the report.
His chiseled features turned gloomy when he read the results.
“What is it?” Keh asked quietly.
Spencer gazed up at him with disappointment in his eyes. “The results are out.”
Keh snatched the report from him, but Spencer said calmly, “There''s no use looking at that. The
antidote wasn''t among what you took that day.”
Keh looked up, his countenance grave. “At all?”
Spencer nodded. “I''d pulled an all-nighter to analyze the medicine you brought and Nat''s blood. It
contains numerous poisons but no antidote.”
Keh''s gaze grew solemn at those words. He crumpled theboratory report into a ball.
I can''t believe Boss could still tell a lie under those circumstances.
With rage shing across his eyes, Keh turned to leave.
“Where are you going?” Spencer asked.
“To kill him,” Keh enunciated while exuding an aura of hatred and malice.
Spencer dissuaded, “Even if you kill him, you may still not obtain the antidote. Since he could lie to you
under such circumstances, he wouldn''t give it to you easily.”
“Then I''ll have him pay with his life.” Keh''s gaze glinted with bloodlust. He swore he would devour
Boss.
Spencer went along with his words. “You could kill him, but Nat will also pay with her life.”
Keh frowned at those words. He turned around and red at the other man fiercely.
Spencer returned his gaze. “You can look at me like that all you want, but the fact remains.”
“What do you think we should do, then? Just keep waiting like sitting ducks?” Keh demanded
furiously. He could not keep hisposure much longer at the recollection of Natasha''s episode.
Spencer gazed at him thoughtfully. “Perhaps I could try.”
“You mean you can cure her?” Keh turned to him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“If this had happened to somebody else, I might jokingly say that there''s no disease that I can''t cure.
But as this concerns Nat, I must tell you the truth: I can undo it if I have the recipe for the poison. If I
don''t, however, it wille down to trial and error. There would be risks involved,” Spencer cautioned.

Keh gazed at Spencer as his lips pressed into a thin line. “How long would it take for your
research?”
“I can''t give you a definitive answer to that,” Spencer answered.
“I''m worried that I cannot afford to wait, Spencer. ording to Boss, this type of poison disys no
visible symptoms, but the headaches will be more frequent. Many will sumb not to the poison
but to suicide just to escape the pain,” Keh said. At the memory of Natasha gritting her teeth in
pain earlier that day, he knew that her suffering was bing unbearable.
Spencer grimaced at Keh''s words. Though thetter had overstated the simplicity of the process,
only the loved ones of poison victims would understand the pain. It was psychological torture not just
for Natasha but all of them.
Spencer gazed up at Keh with a frown. “Then we''d better make all the preparations we can. You''ll
be in charge of getting the recipe for the poison from Boss while I will expedite my research. But
Keh, be mindful not to do anything rash. Boss will not fall for it again.”
Keh smiled at the irony. “Don''t worry. I won''t pull the same trick I did before.”
Spencer met his eyes and nodded.
“One more thing,” Keh added.
“What''s that?”
“Now that Nat''s rpses are bing more frequent, is there a way to help her through the pain when
it happens?” Keh asked.
Spencer narrowed his eyes at the subject before recalling the night of Natasha''s episode. “I performed
acupuncture on Nat during herst rpse, but it did nothing. I think sedatives generally would not
work, but it''s only a guess. We can give it a try.”
“Is there no other way?”
“There is.”
“What''s that?”
“Knock her out,” Spencer said. “It''s simple, direct, and effective.”
Keh cringed.
It was another form of torture for him to repeatedly knock out the woman he loved.
“Is there no other way?” he pleaded.
Spencer gazed at him. “We''ll try administering jabs, but from my experience, this is a loophole we
cannot exploit.”
The color drained from Keh''s face.
Suddenly, Spencer frowned as if he had thought of something.
Upon noticing the other man''s silence, Keh stared at him. “What is it?”
Spencer turned to face Keh. “Have you visited Thalia?”
Having assumed his friend had thought of something, Keh''s eyes dimmed with disappointment.
“Anthony and Benjamin are watching her. I would have notified you if anything happened.”
“That shouldn''t be...” Spencer muttered.
“I know you''re worried for Thalia, Spencer, but I hope you could speed things up regarding the matter
with Nat,” Keh said as he studied Spencer, who appeared distracted.
Spencer lifted his head and met his friend''s gaze. “Do you think of me as such a bad friend, Keh?
Nat is poisoned, and she had even donated so much blood to Thalia. If she''s poisoned, what would
happen to Thalia?”
Keh froze at the mention of that.
He''s right.
Unease flickered across Spencer''s face. “I must visit her.”
Without another word, he got up and left.
Keh followed him at once.
Thalia was looking much better after two days of recuperation. With Anthony and Benjamin keeping her
“Is Spencer still in theb, guys?” Thalia asked.
Anthony nodded. “He is.”
Thalia felt a little downcast. Though she knew Spencer was upied with Natasha''s health, she had
not seen him in a long time and missed him.
Just as Thalia was debating whether or not to pay him a visit at theboratory, Spencer pushed open
the door and came dashing in.
She brightened up at once. “Spencer?”
He must have sensed how much I miss him. He came to me just as I was thinking of him.
Spencer entered and, upon seeing Thalia, felt as if his initially calm heart was fluttering.
Turns out I miss her so much, too.
When Thalia met his gaze, however, Spencer suddenly felt the crushing weight of his debt owed to her.
The sound of footsteps behind Spencer snapped him out of his reverie and prompted him to approach
Thalia.
“How are you doing? Are you feeling better?” Spencer asked.
