Chapter 525 As Long As She Is Fine
Julian clutched his hands tightly.
"I might as well be frank with you.
Considering Susan's condition, she won't be able to last any longer. I assume that you have only 24 hours max. After that, no one will be able to save her," Willa said calmly.
"Shut the f*ck up, you evil b*tch!" Oliver could not hold back anymore and delivered a kick to Willa's chest, sending her flying back.
She spat blood from her mouth, but the affection in her eyes while she was looking at Julian did not go away. “I’m very, very scared of death, but my desire to get you is stronger than my fear of death. What's the difference between life and death if I can't have you by my side? Besides, even if I die, I can take Susan down with me, so it will be worth it." "You...” Just as Oliver was about to approach her again, Julian stretched his arm out and stopped him.
"Are you protecting this b*tch, Julian?" Oliver snarled, his voice laced thick with anger.
"I just want Susan to live!" Julian turned to look at Oliver, his eyes icy.
Oliver relapsed into silence when he remembered Susan's condition. He had only been informed about Susan's condition before coming to Africa. This time, he had been ordered to bring back the antidote. However, it turned out that Susan's condition was far more serious and complex than everyone had imagined.
Wills, Wills, Willa.
It was all this woman's fault!
"We have only 24 hours. Even if we rush back now, we won't be able to save Susie in time.” Julian looked at Willa.
"You don't have to worry about that." Willa smiled. “I have prepared plenty of special remedies and hidden them all in different locations beforehand. Right now, there are several bottles in Skyking City. All you have to do is say yes to my condition and I'll tell you where to get the remedy. You can send your men to get it and save Susan.”
Willa was well-prepared this time.
Julian’s eyes turned even colder. "Give me the location!" ’My condition... "I have to know whether or not you’re telling the truth." Julian interrupted her.
Willa thought for a moment and then nodded. "Alright, I can give you the location, but keep in mind that there is only one bottle at this location. A bottle can only last for a week. If you suddenly stop giving her the remedy, Susan will still die."
Julian’s face turned ugly.
'A bottle a week...’
It occurred to him that Willa was going to use that to blackmail him into staying with her for a lifetime.
“Don’t get so angry." Willa smiled gently. "I can go and cure the Errol Virus in Susan's body to make it up to you. Without the Errol Virus, Susan will only need to take the special remedy regularly to keep the remaining virus in her body at bay. That way, she can live happily ever after."
Julian could not help clenching his fists into tight balls.
Before this, Willa had had no choice but to cure Joseph's brothers of the Errol Virus to save her own life. They had already gotten the antidote in their hands, so the only thing they had to figure out was the dosage. As long as they gave the people at the research institute enough time, it would only be a matter of time before they came up with a cure for the Errol Virus.
However, none of them had expected that Willa would checkmate them with such an evil maneuver.
At the moment, Julian resented himself.
Had he not let Susan accept Willa's treatment, then perhaps Susan would not have ended up in such a dangerous situation at all.
"I'm sorry, but I’m responsible for this," Joseph said apologetically.
He was the one who had introduced Willa to Julian. After all, if it had not been for him, none of this would have happened at all. Joseph had just been trying to make amends, but who would have thought that Willa would actually be Isabelle or that she would have been targeting Susan from the beginning?
It was their fault for letting a virologist treat Susan and put her in such a dire situation.
Julian pressed his lips tight and said, "It’s no use saying that now."
Joseph could only keep quiet and lower his head in shame.
"Just tell me where the special remedy is!
Julian snarled.
"Alright." Willa gave him an address, and Julian immediately called his men in Canada to retrieve the remedy.
"If something happens to Susie, I'll make sure you'll pay for it!" Julian looked at Willa.
However, Willa was not afraid at all. A grin blossomed across her face as she said, "As long as you stay with me, I promise you that Susan will be alright.”
Julian did not want to look at her face anymore. He turned around and instructed his people to prepare a private jet to return to Canada.
Part of the Canadian troops they had brought this time had to stay behind in Africa for garrison duty, while the other part had to return to Canada through the other route.
It went without saying that Oliver would follow Julian. Joseph also brought along his confidants and went to Canada to thank the leader of Canada personally.
As for Willa, although Julian wanted her dead right now, he had no choice but to bring her along as well.
All cell phone signals were blocked on the plane, but the silver lining was that current technology had made Wi-Fi usable during flights. Julian logged in to his chatting software to monitor Susan's condition.
It took his men only a short while to find the special remedy. After they got it, the laboratory immediately began examining it.
Unfortunately, there were too many types of viruses, and the special remedy was made up of different ingredients. The
people at the laboratory could not detect anything or make sure that the remedy would be able to save Susan.
While they were trapped on the horns of a dilemma, Susan's temperature spiked up again. Through the video, Julian could see that Susan had completely lost consciousness. However, she was still mumbling his name.
Every time Susan called his name, Julian would feel as if somebody had stabbed his heart with a dagger once.
Susan had never done anything wrong, so why did she get the short end of the stick every time?
"Susan’s condition is far worse than I thought. She won't even last for two hours," Willa said after she stole a glance at the screen, earning herself a glare from Julian.
"Ik I were you, I'd have her take the remedy," Willa added faintly. "I will not let her die, as I don’t want to die either. If she died, I would lose my only bargaining chip to blackmail you into marrying me.”
Julian was still struggling.
"Julian...” Oliver looked at Julian nervously.
Joseph was looking at Julian as well.
Everyone was waiting for Julian to make the call.
Julian's hand trembled.
The more he hesitated, the more danger Susan was in. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
After taking a deep breath, he put his trembling hand on the keyboard.
After a while, the words "Give her the remedy!" appeared in the chat window.
Upon receiving the instruction, the doctor immediately fed Susan the special remedy.
This time, Willa did not say anything else. Susan only took the remedy three minutes, but her countenance improved markedly.
Half an hour later, her countenance had returned to normal and her breathing had become even.
A member of the medical staff said joyfully, "Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw's condition has become better. She is out of danger already!"
Julian's tightly-wound back finally relaxed.
In any case, as long as Susan was fine, nothing else would matter.
