A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 203

"Are there other ways now?"

"Not sure, but there should be no problem. Ellison and I have almost invited top experts from home and abroad. It's almost okay in a month."

Troy wants to comfort Kevin to let him rest assured. In fact, Troy is not sure whether the antidote can be researched out within a month.

"Okay. By the way, Sunny feels much better now. You don't have to worry about it."

"Hmm...Kevin, within this month, the toxin in your body may spread faster and faster. At first, you may feel uncomfortable, and then the various organs will get weaker and weaker as the toxin spreads. So you have to be mentally prepared." Although Troy doesn't say much, his meaning is already obvious.

"Okay, I see." Kevin hangs up the phone directly after speaking.

The next day, Kevin comes to Wade early in the morning and picks Macie back.

Macie hasn't seen Kevin for several days, so naturally she misses him very much. She throws herself into Kevin's arms, acting like a spoiled girl. Turning her head left and right, she looks around to see if Sunny also comes.

"Well, Mom is waiting for us at home. Mom is not very well recently, so Dad didn't let Mom come. Let's go home. Mom misses Macie so much!" Kevin says while holding Macie to return to the car.

When it comes to Mom, Macie is a little excited. She hasn't seen her mother for several days.

As soon as Macie comes home, she sees her mother at the table waiting for her and her father to eat. Suddenly, she feels like a happy child. No. She has always been a happy child.

"Mom, I miss you so much." Macie is very happy to see her mother, but her mother still has a baby, so she can't jump into her mother's arms like before. She can only hold her mother's thigh and shake it.

Sunny is speechless by her daughter's actions. She doesn't know what to say.

"Does Macie miss Mom?" Looking at Macie, Sunny asks Macie as squatting down.

"Macie misses Mom so much! I miss you every day!" Macie says to Sunny in her sweet tone.

"Ha-ha, Macie is so good. In order to reward you, Mom made the breakfast for you! Let's have breakfast together." Sunny says it’s her who does the breakfast. Besides, she is having breakfast there calmly.

Macie and Kevin don't want to expose Sunny’s lie. The family are sitting at the table and having breakfast together.

Looking at Macie, Sunny thinks of that she will leave again in a few days. She feels a little sad for a moment.

"Sunny, you eat more fish. This..." Before Kevin finishes picking up the food for Sunny, he falls to the ground with a "bang" sound!

Sunny is dumbfounded. Why does the person who is picking up food for her fall to the ground suddenly?

But when Sunny thinks of what they said in the living room that day, her face turns pale with fright. Is the toxin attacking him?

"Honey, honey, what's the matter with you?" Sunny quickly helps Kevin who is lying on the ground up, and calls Troy in a hurry.

"Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad?" In Macie’s own impression, her father who is omnipotent suddenly falls down, which scares Macie very much.

After Sunny finishes calling Troy, she lets a servant to lift Kevin onto the sofa. Then she turns around to comfort Macie, "Macie, good girl. Dad is just a little uncomfortable. You follow the servant to go upstairs obediently, okay?"

"Okay." Macie obediently agrees to Sunny, and follows the servant to go upstairs.

After a while, Troy and Ellison hurry to the mansion with a few people.

"What's the matter?" Ellison asks first.

"It's okay, Sunny, you go upstairs to look after Macie. Troy and the others are here." Kevin takes Sunny's hand and says to her.

"No, is there anything I can't know? I want to accompany you." Sunny says to Kevin in a very firm tone.

"Macie is just a kid. Don't make her afraid." Just when Sunny is about to refute him, Ellison says to her first.

"Sunny, you go upstairs first. You can't help much here. Macie is just a kid. She must be scared now. Go and accompany her!" After thinking for a while, Sunny feels Ellison is right. Macie is just a kid, so she has to comfort Macie first. Finally, she nods and goes upstairs.

Watching Sunny go upstairs and close the door, Kevin is relieved.

In the next second, Kevin no longer endures. He almost can't bear the pain. It’s like countless insects gnawing his bone marrow in his body. It hurts. Even his expression distorts a bit in pain.

Just now when Sunny was still there, he still resisted the pain, not wanting Sunny to see his painful appearance. Now he almost wants to tear himself apart.

Looking at his brother's painful expression, Ellison quickly asks Troy to control Kevin first, so as not to let Kevin hurt himself.

Troy first gives Kevin a tranquilizer and then gives him painkillers, which relieves Kevin's pain a little. Now Kevin can at least accept the pain.

Perhaps because of the painkillers, the pain in Kevin’s body eases a little.

"How is it? Are you feeling better now?" Sweating profusely, Kevin nods in pain.

"The toxin spreads much faster than I thought. If it continues with this speed, we might have to work out the antidote within half a month."

Sunny, who is at the corner of the stairs, hears Troy's words. She covers her mouth in disbelief, not letting others hear her crying. Her tears slowly flow down.

"Half a month? Is it possible?" Ellison asks, frowning.

"It seems that it is almost impossible now." Troy says with difficulty. Everyone can’t accept the truth, especially Sunny who is standing at the corner of the stairs.

She has only one thing on her mind now, which is if Kevin doesn't have an antidote, he will die within a month... Then what should she do? She doesn't want Kevin to die.

"Then can you tell me how long the interval of the onset is?" Kevin weakly asks the question. He doesn't want to let Sunny and Macie see this kind of situation a second time.

If he knows the time of the onset, he can try his best not to let his family see his painful looks.

"Hmm... about once every two days. Besides, every onset will become more serious than last one. Then your body will get worse and worse." Troy says out the truth.

"How is the progress of the research by the experts over there? Do you have any clues?" Looking at Kevin's weak body, Ellison worries about the progress of the research.

"Alas..." Troy answers him directly with a sigh.

On the other side, Butler also counts the days, thinking that the toxin in Kevin's body is about to break out.

Luca is also in a dilemma now. Jane is standing at the door of Luca's room, holding 99 roses.

"Jane, why are you sending me flowers again?" Luca asks helplessly, looking at Jane who has sent him flowers for the seventh day in a row.

"Hey. I will do what I said. When I went to the flower shop today, only this bouquet of roses was the most beautiful, so I bought it. Originally, I wanted to buy lilies. The smell of lilies will make people feel good, but unfortunately, I was late today. The lilies were sold out."

While talking, Jane puts the flowers in the vase on Luca's table. Seeing the beautiful roses and Luca, this contrast is very eye-catching, making her laugh unconsciously.

Luca feels a little creepy by her looking. After these days of getting along, he already knows this little girl well.

She loves sweets, sunny days, and all kinds of beautiful and cute little things. She also likes him... Although he politely refuses her, saying that he treats her as his younger sister, Jane still does not give up, and pursues Luca more fiercely.

It is also the first time that Luca has been pursued by a girl like Jane in more than 20 years. She is young but very persistent.

He is helpless but at the same time, he doesn’t have the heart to speak some harsh words to her. Sometimes, she is chattering like a bird around him. If he can’t bear her chattering, his expressions will look terrible. Even once, he was really impatient and yelled at her.

Then he turned around and left her alone. Luca thought she had left, but when he turned around, he found that Jane had not left, but squatted on the ground and started crying.

This makes Luca feel at a loss. He has been usually chased after by girls. He is good at flirting with girls, but he doesn't know how to coax girls, especially a crying girl.
