Chapter 1161 I Can Accept It
Janet’s legs felt like lead when she walked into the isolation room.
During the afternoon, she had been working hard in the laboratory, and the development of the antidote had reached the final stage.
However, the drug molecules needed to be precipitated and polymerized, so to get the antidote, they had to wait until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
She could wait, but Mason’s body couldn’t.
If he were any ordinary man, he would’ve already died of the disease.
Herbert and James had told her that Mason was able to survive thus far through sheer willpower.
Although he was in stable condition now, no one knew when it would worsen, and she dared not take the gamble!
After taking just one glance at the man on the bed, Janet felt as if her heart was in piercing pain, and grief consumed her at once.
She took step after step toward the man’s bed before holding his hand. “As long as you’re alive, no matter what, I can accept it.”
All of a sudden, she felt her hand being held equally as tight.
Mason opened his eyes, and his lips curled up. “Babe, you finally came to see me.”
For a moment, Janet was stunned, then she returned his smile. “You’re awake?”
“I woke up when I heard your voice.” After speaking, Mason tried to get up.
Janet swiftly pushed him back onto the bed and said, “Even if Herbert said that your condition is stable, you can’t move around. Got it?”
“Babe.” There was a strange look on the man’s face. “Although I’m sick now, it doesn’t mean I can’t move.”
In fact, apart from some red spots on his body and how haggard he looked, his body was still in good condition.
Bending down, Janet caressed his face before giving it a pinch. “It’s good that you have strength.”
When Mason heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened. “Babe, what are you implying?”
Then, he reached out, clasped the back of her head, and kissed her.
It was an extremely tender kiss.
Mason pressed his forehead against the tip of her nose and smiled. “Unfortunately, we can’t do it.”
Janet froze, and her eyes dimmed.
After today, the heat from the man’s chest and the tenderness of his lips would be shared with someone else.
From then on, he would no longer be hers alone.
When Janet came back to her senses, her eyelashes fluttered. She placed her hand on his shoulder and pushed him back down. “Herbert will come in later to perform a reexamination. I’ll go out first.”
“Then, when the examination is over, will you come to see me again?” Mason suddenly asked in a pleading tone. “I really missed you.”
Janet was at a loss for words.
She pursed her lips, then said after a long time, “Okay.”
When she left, Janet couldn’t help but look at the man a few more times before reluctantly closing the door.
After leaving the isolation room, everyone stared at her with strange looks in their eyes.
Janet said blankly, “You guys can handle the rest. Call me when it’s over.”
With that, she walked toward the laboratory, her face void of expression.
Sean retracted his gaze, then looked at the two people in front of him and said, “If we ask Mr. Lowry to sleep with Emily, he probably won’t agree, so can you give him a hallucinogen?”
Herbert narrowed his eyes. “Are you saying that we should let him think that Emily is Janet?”
Sean gave a slight nod. “That’s right.”
Hallucinogens could affect a person’s nervous system, so they could see anyone as whoever they thought they were.
“Shouldn’t we discuss this matter with Mrs. Lowry first?” White Python asked with a frown.
Upon that, Black Python objected. “Don’t trigger her again!”
Herbert and James exchanged looks. “Then, we’ll go in first. You guys can bring that woman over in a while.”
“Understood.” Sean nodded.
