Chapter 1139 Do You Believe In Dreams?
Lee looked at Janet’s grim face in astonishment. “W-Why did you do that?”
He just couldn’t comprehend. They could have defeated Corey by joining forces with Mason, but Janet actually played tricks like this to stop Mason from coming.
Janet cast a glance at Lee and croaked, “Lee, do you believe in dreams?”
Lee was startled for quite a while before replying, “Nope.” Then, he continued, “Did you dream of something? Don’t tell me you believe in it.”
Janet crossed her arms and sneered, “I had a dream that he was injured. There was blood all over his face, and he passed out in the ICU. I didn’t only have this dream once but twice. Today, Sheldon told me that Melissa developed a biological virus. Anyone who is infected by this virus will be poisoned and will die in 48 hours. The antidote Melissa had in her lab was stolen away by Corey. Can you understand my fear now?”
Lee became stiff as his eyes turned gloomy. The woman in front of him had always been tough and invincible. There was no weakness that could be found in her. However, she had one now.
Before this, everyone said that she was Mason’s weakness, but now, Lee realized that Mason was her weakness too.
The word ‘fear’ was too heavy. Lee didn’t dare to continue asking and went back to the front cabin sensibly while Janet continued to gaze profoundly outside the window. She only knew the danger of having the virus in Corey’s hands.
However, she had no clue about the virus’ composition, so she wasn’t able to develop an antidote. She could only develop the antidote if she knew the composition of it. Therefore, she must obtain the virus from Corey. She couldn’t imagine the consequences if Corey used the virus to harm others. Hence, she definitely couldn’t allow Corey to continue doing as he pleased. He deserves death!

Meanwhile, 2 hours after Sean’s call was hung up by Janet, the former finally couldn’t sit still any longer.
In the past, Mason would call him back no matter how urgent of a matter he had to attend to. However, this time, Mason had not picked up his call even after multiple attempts. For some reason, Sean had a bad feeling. At this thought, he quickly called Janet.
On the other end, Janet turned on the phone screen indifferently after hearing it ring and upon seeing Sean’s incoming call, she frowned. After hesitating for a while, she decided to answer it.
“What’s the matter?” Her voice was cold and apathetic.
“Uhmm…” Sean then told Janet about the situation. “So are you with Mr. Lowry now?”
Janet’s fingers twitched as she took a deep breath and replied calmly, “No.” Thereafter, she hung up the call immediately.
Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Sean was perplexed. Eventually, he decided to head toward the Lowry Residence as he still felt that something wasn’t right.
…
When Sean arrived, Mason was lying on the bed as he had already lost consciousness. Upon seeing Mason’s condition, Sean quickly summoned the family doctor.
The chaos even alarmed Old Madam Lowry, who was sleeping. She was shocked to see such a scene. “How’s my grandson, doctor?”
After checking up on Mason, the doctor pushed his glasses up and said, “There’s a small hole at the back of Mr. Lowry’s neck. Someone might have injected him with an anesthetic.”
Sean was stunned hearing that. Moments later, he found a syringe in the room’s rubbish bin. There was no liquid in the syringe, so Sean reckoned this was the one used on Mason. Who would have the guts to do such a thing and also have the ability to make Mason put his guard down? Only one person comes to mind.
Old Madam Lowry looked around and exclaimed, “Where’s my granddaughter-in-law?”
Sean mumbled after a long silence, “Please calm down, Old Madam Lowry. If my guess is right, it was Miss Jackson who injected Mr. Lowry with the anesthesia.”
