Chapter 913
Chapter 913 She Is Determined To Die
At the same time, ze sat beside the bed in the infirmary, quietly observing Cameron''s pale and tired-
looking face.
Even though the man was sound asleep, his brows remained tightly furrowed, subtly radiating a pained
look.
That poison is too potent. Cameron has taken the medicine that can suppress the toxicity after he got
poisoned, yet, it still can''t alleviate the pain of the toxins corroding his body. With the antidote
preparation process put on hold now, there''s no way to proceed to the next step. Without theplete
form of the poison, we can''t use medicine to counteract the toxin. Any incorrect ingredient used will
lead Cameron to certain death.
After sitting by the bed for half an hour, she slowly rose from her seat, seemingly having made up her
mind.
She looked down at Cameron for a few minutes, then slowly leaned over and kissed his forehead.
When she straightened herself again, the emotions lingering in her eyes before were all gone. All that
was left was endless tranquility.
She grabbed the phone on the bedside table and strode out of the ward.
She knew that Kurt was not only waiting for her call but also for her to show her vulnerability, plead with
him, and submit to him.
If she did notply with Kurt''s wishes, she would have to watch Cameron gradually get consumed by
the toxin.
Once the toxin seeped into his heart, there would be no way to save him, not even if there was an
antidote.
This matter concerned a life, especially one that was of the man she admired and pursued for so many
years. There was no way she could watch him die just like that.
Hence, no matter what dirty demands Kurt raised, she would agree to them, even if it meant she had to
use her body as a negotiation.
After leaving the ward, she found Kurt''s number and dialed it.
He had probably also figured she would cast her dignity aside and call him.
The moment the call got through, he went straight to the point. “You want me to save him? Sure, I can.
On the ount that the Yablon family has taken care of me and brought me up, I won''t make things
difficult for him either. It''s just that I''ve had feelings for you for the longest time. Don''t you think you
should also fulfill a small wish of mine?”
ze tightened her grip on the phone. Standing by the window sill, she silently gazed at the dark sky
outside and slowly lifted the corners of her lips into a beautiful but sad smile.
“Sure, I''ll do it. I''ll go and find you at dawn. Send me your location.”
Kurt burst into a sinisterugh. “You''d better not try any tricks. Otherwise, I''ll make sure to drag
Cameron down with me, even in death.”
ze was enough of his nonsense and simply ended the call.
A few secondster, Kurt texted her an address.
She stared at her phone screen for some time before ncing back at the ward door. Then, she paced
toward the upper floor.
A few minutester, she knocked on Catherine''s door.
“Do you need something, Ms. ze?”
ze smiled lightly. “I know you''re eagerly trying to get your hands on Fragrance Journal and
Encyclopedia of Poison, Ms. Rogers. I''m pretty sure you have your way of getting the journal. As for
the encyclopedia, I''ll help you retrieve it. As a reward, I hope you can gift me something. I have an
urgent need for it.”
Catherine narrowed her eyes.
She was aware that Cameron was poisoned.
The culprit is that traitor of the Yablon family, Kurt. And the Encyclopedia of Poison is in his hands. So...
“What would you like from me, Ms. ze?”
ze leaned in and whispered a few words into her ear.
Upon hearing that, Catherine''s face drastically changed.
“Why do you want that thing? Ms. ze, I know you''re worried about Mr. Yablon, but you can''t put
yourself in danger like this either. This is no different from you trading your life for another. It''s too
extreme.”
ze had a straightforward character and was not fond of beating around the bush. “Even if you don''t
give me this thing, I''ll still go and meet Kurt, and he''ll still force himself on me. Since that''s so, I thoughtC0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
I should get something out of it, like controlling him and forcing him to hand over the antidote and the
Encyclopedia of Poison. Only that way will my sacrifice be worth it.”
Catherine found herself in a state of indecision.
Seeing that, ze added, “The crux of this is using that thing to kill him. Ms. Rogers, do you really not
want to help me?”
Catherine heaved a silent sigh. “Since you''re determined to go whether I give it to you or not, I might as
well give it to you. This way, perhaps, I can at least save your life.”
With that, she turned and went back into her room. Shortly after, she walked out with a white porcin
bottle in her hand.
“Put them on your body. The male parasitic worm will enter his body on its own as your bodies touch.”
ze received the bottle and chuckled lightly. “Thank you, Ms. Rogers. I hope what happened tonight
will remain between you and me. Please keep this a secret for me. Don''t let anyone else know.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Catherine saw the despair in ze''s eyes.
She''s determined to die by going to Kurt like this. As long as they get infected together, Kurt will have
to die once she dies.
In other words, she had to sacrifice her own life first if she wanted Kurt dead.
Seeing ze about to disappear within her vision, Catherine rushed forward, grabbed onto the former''s
shoulder, and whispered something into her ear.
“Ms. ze, remember what I just said. Do not court death if you still have a bit of attachment to this
world.”
ze tugged at the corners of her stiff lips to reveal a forced smile.
“Thank you very much.”
Watching ze''s departing silhouette, Catherine subconsciously reached out, only to realize she could
grab nothingness.
Suddenly, Simon''s voice echoed in her ears. “Why are you spacing out in the middle of the hallway?
Are you sleepwalking?”
Catherine subtly turned her head away to gather her downcast emotions.
After regaining herposure, she turned around and nced at Simon. “If I''m really sleepwalking, I
wouldn''t be standing here in a daze. The first thing I''ll probably do is kill you.”
Um...
Just as she was about to leave, Simon quickly reached out and held onto her.
“I''ve spoken to Artemis. Just wait a few more days. Once they''ve taken care of Moranta''s situation, I''ll
follow you to Gregan.”
Catherine''s tone instantly grew icy as she knew what was on his mind.
“No need, Simon. Do you not understand what I said? I said there''s no need.”
As her words fell, she attempted to shrug off his arm.
Simon held her tightly, unwilling to let her go. “I''ve deployed a hundred special agents over. Without my
permission, there''s no way you can leave Moranta. So, it''d be wiser if you stay put for a few days and
listen to my instructions.”
Catherine''s gaze turned cold, and a hint of anger crossed her face.
Perhaps I shouldn''t have gloated at his misfortune and let him fall into the trap Artemis set to be
the head of the Luther family. Men be men. Even losers can act like a menace once they get power.
I''ve miscalcted. Now I''ve just made life difficult for myself.
Seeing herck of temper, Simon could not help but lift his lips into a smile and said, “You better
behave yourself and stay here. I won''t joke about my daughter''s life. Just wait for my arrangements.”
Catherine was rendered speechless.
This jerk. If only I could smear some poisonous powder to disfigure his annoying face! But with so
many special agents around, there''s honestly no way I can escape. Fine, Simon Luther! I won''t forget
this!
In the middle of the night, ze drove to Kurt''s residence.
