The Cherished Wife



At the hospital, Peter glanced at Sean, who was busy working in his office. "When are you planning to stop?"

"You think I don't want to?" Sean shot him a look. "You may be free as a bird now, but I've still got work to do, and I'm dedicated to it."

Peter scoffed, tapping his long fingers on the desk. "Dedicated? If you're a model employee, all other employees must've vanished."

"Hey!" Sean could not take the insult. "Don't question my work ethic."noveldrama

He tossed his pen down and looked at Peter with a serious expression. "If you've got something to say, spit it out. I'm busy. I have no time to babysit you."

"Fine. Has Brandon's test report come out?"

"Damn!" Sean's eyes widened as he suddenly remembered. "I almost forgot about that! Here it is."

Sean quickly handed over the report, and Peter's brows knitted together. He fixed Sean with a hard look that made Sean shiver.

"Hey, it's not my fault. I've been tied up with a bunch of tough surgeries lately. Plus, I've been running tests on Tania too, and I found a strange substance in her system."

"What did you say?" Peter's grip on the report tightened, crumpling it under his hands.

Sean inhaled sharply. "Calm down, man. I haven't finished. I don't know exactly what it is yet. It seems to be some new kind of drug, and it's been in her system for a while..."

Peter's expression turned severe,

and one could see the tension in

him. He flipped open Brandon's report and scanned over the

convoluted data before tossine

back to Sean. "I can't make sense of this. Just explain it to me."

"In short, it's also a type of new drug, and it's quite similar to what's in Tania's body. It's just slightly different. Brandon's appears to be a modified version of it. Peter...", Sean grew serious. "Be cautious. I feel like someone is targeting you.

Peter clenched his fists, taking a moment to steady his breathing. "Don't let Tania know about any of this, and find out exactly what this is. Whatever it takes, find an antidote!"

"Don't worry, I've already got people working on it. The tricky part is that since Tania has this substance in her system, it'll make things harder with Nancy too."

Peter's brows furrowed together, This was indeed a difficult situation. They had no idea what was lurking in Tania's and Brandon's bodies or what risks these drugs posed.

While chaos engulfed Lennon Group, over in Cascade City, Lareal handed Steven a set of final acquisition documents. "Mr. Fischer, these are the recent shares acquired from Lennon Group over the last two weeks. With Mr. Lennon's own holdings, he's now the largest

shareholder of Lennon Group. But..."

Steven smirked, waving a dismissive hand. "Peter doesn't care much about these things."

Lareal, however, found himself unable to understand the complex game between Steven, Peter, and Charles.

Ever since Peter and Charles established this company in Cascade City three years ago, Steven had been the one quietly managing things from behind the scenes.
