Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 237 Cedrick Is In Danger Cedrick maintained an indifferent expression, as if he wasn’t the one the doctor had just pronounced a death sentence upon.

“Are you saying that if I fail to suppress the virus, I might die at any moment?” Joshua lowered his head without answering, seemingly replying in the affirmative.

His response caused Cedrick to fall silent, as he had assumed that the suppressant would easily help him live decades more.

If he had known about it earlier, he wouldn’t have let Gwendolyn know that he was still alive.

The last thing he wanted was for her to be once again devastated by his death.

Overwhelmed by the grim atmosphere, Nico failed to keep his emotions in check and began tearing up.

Hearing his assistant’s sniffles, Cedrick shot him a glare.

“What are you crying for? I’m not dead yet.

” “I… I just feel…” I just feel pity for you, Boss… You’re barely thirty.

Yet you’re tormented by your illness and have to live out your days in suspense.

I can’t believe how cruel life is to you! Scratching his head, Joshua remarked awkwardly, “Actually, the situation isn’t as bad as you think.

I was just painting a hypothetical scenario.

As long as Cedrick gets his treatment on schedule and maintains a strong immune system, my suppressant can keep him alive for at least twenty more years.

” The look on Nico’s face was still depressed.

“What happens after that?” Joshua threw Cedrick a confident look.

“With twenty years to go, I’m sure I’ll come up with an antidote that will help Cedrick live a long life.

” The tension in the room gradually eased when everyone learned that there was still hope for a cure.

Blowing his nose with a tissue, Nico complained, “Prof.

Mallory, can’t you tell us everything in one go? You scared us to death!” Joshua chuckled as he injected another dose of the suppressant into Cedrick to enhance the drug’s effects.

On top of that, he prescribed medication to help the latter’s wounds heal and painkillers for Cedrick’s chest pain.

Finally, he reminded his patient to restrain his lust and refrain from doing intense “bed exercises.

” Despite agreeing on the surface, Cedrick was actually not paying much attention.

By the time they emerged from the lab, it was almost time to get off work.

Cedrick was heading to his car to pick Gwendolyn up from Angle when he encountered Asher walking in his direction in a pilot’s uniform.

The latter was wearing an insidious look, while his wife, Sienna, was also beside him.

One could tell that they had just disembarked from the plane, and from the scowl on their faces, it was clear that both of them were here looking for trouble.
