Byron approached Yves and questioned further, "So you’ve realized your past mistakes now?” Upon hearing this, Yves smiled bitterly. "What's the point of knowing my mistakes? I can never forgive myself for thinking I almost killed Dr. Jacobs because of my selfishness." He lifted his head, and his words were full of self-mockery and self-loathing. "Humans are the greediest beings. At first, I just wanted to work with Dr. Jacobs. I was satisfied just with that. Later, I wanted to stand in the closest position to her and become her deputy. I also wanted to be like you and let her notice me. My greed grew by the day, and it stacked. I don't even know what I was doing back then." There was still an inquisition in Byron's gaze, trying to distinguish the truth from the falsity of his words. Yves sighed. "Now that I think about it, I made two mistakes. The slightest mistake could have led to a disaster, whether it was the initial fire or later in the experiment. Dr. Jacobs and many r

After Mary left, the ward was silent again.“Rosie, don’t worry. Everyone is already trying to save you. Old Master Loewe is also here with Andrius. They’re searching for information to save you. I believe he can come up with something. I’m sure you wish to see him too.”Byron spoke patiently, knowing the person on the bed could not hear him.“I already know Lucian and Nox are my kids. I’m sorry that I didn’t find out earlier that they’re my children, and I’m glad that I didn’t have any opinion about them after thinking they were someone else’s children. You did a good job raising them, but I didn’t do a good job with our daughter...“We brought up three children in an incomplete family because of me. Now that I know the truth, I want to make it up to you, but only if you wake up. You’ll pull through for the children, won’t you?”He rubbed his finger on Rosalie’s hand. His grip tightened subconsciously. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke the rest of what was on his mind in d

Byron remained silent for a while before speaking, “Mommy is busy now. Why don’t you talk to her tomorrow? She might be back tomorrow, and we’ll call you when we arrive at the airport.”Not being able to contact their mommy for a few days, the little ones were worried. However, the little ones were relieved when Daddy told them the date they would be back. They agreed obediently and said, “Okay. Take good care of Mommy, Daddy.”Byron said, “Give the watch to Grandma Zora. Daddy wants to talk to her.”Then, he heard noises through the phone.A moment later, Mrs. Zora’s voice sounded.Byron asked her about the kids’ condition. “How are the kids doing these days? Is there anything unusual?”Mrs. Zora looked at the three little ones sitting on the sofa, staring at her. She recalled seriously and said, “No. They’re very obedient.”Then, remembering something, she added, “However, these two days, the little masters called a friend abroad. I don’t know what they talked about.”Byron

The phone rang for nearly a minute before the person on the other end picked up."Who’s on the line?" Xander's voice was full of arrogance and disdain.Byron frowned and replied calmly. "It's me, Byron Lawrence."As if he had just reacted, Xander gave an exaggerated response, "Oh! So, it’s President Lawrence. I assumed it was someone being inconsiderate to call me while I was at work."This was almost a backhanded comment directed at Byron.However, Byron seemed not to have heard the sarcasm in his words and apologized frankly, "It seems I may have called at the wrong time. If this is a bad time, then call me back when you’re free, Mr. Lancer.”After that, Byron kept quiet, but he did not hang up the phone immediately.Xander thought Byron was going to hang up the phone and became a little anxious. "Wait!"Byron frowned slightly. Xander's reaction was within his expectations."Since you’ve called, I must make time even if I’m busy!"Xander sneered, "I wonder how I can help yo

"President Lawrence, how is it? What’s your decision regarding my third request?"With a sinister smile, Xander pushed further after explaining the origin of the drug.Byron was taken aback. Then, he quickly regained his composure and turned to meet his gaze. "Deal."Xander was dissatisfied. "Only verbally? Any concrete evidence? Without evidence, how do I know if you’ll make good on your word? Although I believe in your character, I’ve worked hard to get this antidote. If you deceive me, won’t I be made a fool?”Byron frowned slightly. "What evidence do you want?"Xander raised his eyebrows adamantly. "A marriage certificate, of course. It's a bit late now, and the Civil Affairs Bureau is probably off working hours. However, if you issue a public statement now, I'm willing to accept it."Xander’s gaze on Byron was intended to provoke.Among these three requirements, he knew best which one was the most unacceptable to Byron.After he made this request, Byron's struggling expres
