Chapter 749  Doubts for the Untimely Death

Day Seventy-Eight…

~~*****~~

[ At Country M: Syphiruz Mafia Medical Facility… ]

Old Man Xu submitted the three samples for the DNA test. Tomorrow, he would find out whether Helena or Monica was Ethan's mother. He also included Jane's DNA sample.

He labeled the samples anonymously so that others would never know, except him. He was cautious in case there was another spy among their men. DNA Test results are often tampered with by them.

As he roamed around the medical facility, Old Man Xu decided to inform Ethan that he managed to get the DNA samples for testing.

"Hello, grandson! How are you? I'm here in our Medical Facility. Your grandpa is going to seek the truth for you." Old Man Xu said, doting on Ethan.

"Yey. Thanks, Grandpa. I can't wait for that." Ethan responded enthusiastically.

"What are you doing, my dear grandson? Let's have dinner together later." Since Nathan was not around, Old Man Xu would be accompanying Ethan in the Sparks Mansion.

"Just playing video games since we have no class. It's our vacation," Ethan responded. "Grandpa, I think… I'm going to have a baby sis soon." He couldn't stop himself by sharing this good news with his grandpa. After the call with Nathan, Ethan announced to the whole household of the Sparks Mansion about his Baby Sis. That's how excited he was.

'Eh? Baby Sis? How?' Old Man Xu was a little bit confused by Ethan's statement.

"What do you mean by that, dear?"

"My Dad and Miss Jane are busy making babies right now in Country J. Dad told me earlier." he declared matter-of-factly with his innocent voice.

Old Man Xu: "..."

He let out a soft chuckle and said, "My grandson is super excited to have a baby sis. Don't worry. Your grandpa feels the same way. We have to wait for the good news then."contemporary romance

"But marriage should come first, right? Grandpa, why don't we urge my Dad to propose to Miss Jan already?" Ethan suggested.

"Uhm, Grandson, we should leave this decision to your father. Don't force him. Just go with the flow." Old Man Xu advised his grandson to take things slowly.

"But Grandpa, Miss Jane is running out of time. She needs Dad's love in the remaining twenty two days. I wonder if he already confessed." Old Man Xu couldn't understand Ethan's remarks. "Relax, grandson. Maybe your father already has a plan for this. Let's wait."

"Sigh. Okay. Grandpa. I understand." No one knew that Ethan was also counting the remaining days of Jane's mission. As time went by, he was becoming anxious. The magical creature also disappeared without a trace. Just like Jane, He wanted to clarify things with Bam-Bam.

"My grandson, I have to hang up. Let's talk about that at home." Old Man Xu had to end the call when he caught a glimpse of a group of doctors, scientists and researchers gathered in one laboratory room. His interest was piqued.

"What are they doing there? Does my son launch a new project without me knowing?" Old Man Xu pondered to himself. He decided to drop by the laboratory room and talk to the person in charge.

Upon entering the room, the medical team and researchers stopped what they were doing. They greeted Old Man Xu politely.

"Just continue your work. Don't mind me. I just want to talk to the Team Leader," Old Man Xu said, allowing them to continue with their task.

The Team Leader, Dr. Melissa approached Old Man Xu. She was the one who replaced Veronica in managing the medical facility.

"Chairman Xu, how can I help you? Do you wish to know something?" Dr. Melissa asked him politely.

"Oh. I'm just curious why people here are so busy. Are you developing a new medicine?" Old Man Xu asked her with utmost curiosity.

"Oh. The Supreme Leader gave us an important task to produce an antidote for this poison, following the formula in Dr. Veronica's journal. This poison is lethal. It can kill someone in less than five minutes once infused in someone's body or intake." Dr. Melissa started to explain the situation.

"Hmm. So Veronica is the one who created this poison?" "Yes, Chairman. And this also has a unique effect. It can't be traced inside the body and it is hard for us to diagnose unless we know that the victim received this poison. Furthermore, this poison attacks the cardiovascular system of the victim, and heart attack will appear to be the cause of death. It's very tricky." Dr. Melissa enlightened Old Man Xu about the effect of the poison.

"Oh got it. This is a very dangerous weapon. I wonder why Veronica produced this kind of lethal poison. Is she planning to sell it to the black market?" Old Man Xu rubbed his chin to think about it.

"Hmmm. Chairman Xu, according to Axel, Veronica produced this poison to use against Abigail and Jane. She is working with her sister Monica." Dr. Melissa smiled sheepishly when she shared that information with Old Man Xu.

"WHAT?!" Old Man Xu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's what I heard from Axel. Our Supreme Leader ordered us to produce the antidote as soon as possible because they don't know when the enemy will strike."

"Alright. I won't keep you here. You should go back and work. This is an urgent matter." Old Man Xu dismissed Dr. Melissa right away as he didn't want to be the cause of delay in their task.

Old Man Xu just got out of the laboratory room when he received a piece of devastating news.

"Chairman Xu!!!" Someone ran in his direction.

"Butler Li, what are you doing here?" Old Man Xu asked him, puzzled.

"I have been calling you but your phone is busy. Young master, Ethan told me that you are here." Butler Li explained.

"Okay. So why are you looking for me?" he probed.

"Chairman Xu, didn't you hear? Mr. Maximilian Carlsen of AMB Diamond Corp has passed away." Butler Li relayed the news.

"What?! I just talked to him this morning. He seems well and healthy! How could this happen?" Old Man Xu was shaken. He couldn't believe this.

"Chairman. It's a heart attack. The most unpredictable and traitorous disease." Butler Li responded.

"No way. He is recovering well. And he is in the hospital!" Old Man Xu had a nagging feeling about Maximilian's untimely death
