Chapter 384 - Detoxified (1/2)

The next day, at the laboratory.

Cheng Anya saw how Bai Ye injected the antidote into Third Young Master Ye’s body. The transparent liquid flowed like cold spring water. Her heart was cold as well, to the point that her limbs were cold and her palms were sweating a lot. She watched the reaction of Third Young Master Ye, who was on the operating table, nervously.

This was not the first time Su Man and Bai Ye had developed the antidote. In those few days, they had developed three antidotes and tested them on mice. For the first two times, the mice were killed, whereas for the third time, the mice had no reaction.

However, there was a reaction in the mice. According to Su Man’s a.n.a.lysis, all the toxins in the blood had disappeared in an hour.

It meant that the antidote had at least worked for the mice.

Because Cheng Anya was pregnant with a child, they couldn’t guess what reaction the antidote would have on her. They could only test it on Third Young Master Ye first as the time he could live was very limited.

The antidote must be injected.

Ye Wei, Eleven, and the young kid were there as well. That day was the most critical. If the antidote failed to work, then they had to find another way to save them, which would waste more time.

For Third Young Master Ye’s case, he wouldn’t be able to hang on for that long.

The young kid and Cheng Anya both knew that this was their last chance. That day was the only day to check if the antidote would work or not.

After the antidote was injected into Third Young Master Ye’s body, everyone looked at the diagram on the screen quietly. The supply of tranquilizer had been temporarily stopped and Third Young Master Ye only had an oxygen mask on. The rest of the reagents had been evacuated too. It all depended on the reaction of the antidote.

Bai Ye felt Third Young Master Ye’s pulse and looked serious. Judging from his pulse, he was very peaceful. Because the supply of tranquilizer had just been stopped, he had no signs of waking up, which explained the peaceful pulse.

But half an hour later, he still hadn’t had a clear response.

The diagram on the screen showed that the virus hadn’t been defeated yet. Cheng Anya couldn’t understand the diagram but knew that the virus was engulfing his body cells through the device’s images of the inside of Third Young Master Ye’s body.

Bai Ye explained to them that the black part indicated the area where the virus invaded. From the diagram, Third Young Master Ye’s liver, stomach, and spleen were all seriously infected with the virus. His body was almost full of the horrifying virus, and they were all in a state of dissociation and variation.

After they had injected the antidote, small red bubbles appeared on the screen, constantly hitting the black areas. Cheng Anya and the others had seen how the antidote worked on the mice. After ten minutes, the black areas would gradually fade and disappear.

It meant that the virus was being eliminated and was disappearing.

But it had already been half an hour since the red bubbles had started to attack the black area, but there was no change in Third Young Master Ye’s body. It was like a fight between justice and evil. The justice wanted to kill the evil, but there was nothing that could be done.

Bai Ye looked at the screen with his arms crossed. It was the first time that his heart rate was this fast. Wasn’t the antidote working? He breathed in a lungful of cool air. According to his precise calculation, there would be a reaction after fifteen minutes. But why hadn’t there been any reaction?

The mice had only taken ten minutes to fuse the virus.

Something was amiss.

Bai Ye was sweating in between his eyebrows.

Su Man sat in front of the computer calmly and stared intensely at the screen. He looked very calm, not fl.u.s.tered at all, as if it was normal for him to have no reaction for half an hour and there was nothing to be worried about.

But Su Man’s palms were also sweating. He knew that if the antidote had no effect this time, Third Young Master Ye would surely die. Even if he and Bai Ye tried to develop another antidote as fast as possible, the results would only be out in three or five days. Cheng Anya could wait, but Third Young Master Ye definitely couldn’t.

Su Man’s n.o.ble facial features were solemn. He didn’t need to look back to know what expression the people behind him had.

Cheng Anya and the others did not dare to disturb Su Man and Bai Ye in case they might be distracted. Ye Wei and Eleven puckered their lips and waited nervously while the young kid accompanied Cheng Anya for fear that his mother would not be able to endure such torture.

The time waiting between life and death was the most torturous. In this case, most of them had given up on hope.

The young kid looked at his daddy, who was lying on the operating table not far away. His gaze showed pain and agony as he had just found out that they were related for less than half a year. He didn’t want to lose him. Just like what the fortune teller had always told others after reading their palms, one would lose someone they loved before they reached ten years old.

However, he later found out that the survey showed that most people would lose the people they loved before they turned ten. Some had lost their grandfathers, their mothers, or grandmothers. For him, he had already lost Nuo Nuo.

Hence, it was considered that he had lost a loved one already. His daddy must survive.

If he died, his mommy would probably turn into a walking corpse and never be happy again.

‘Daddy, you have to hang in there.’

He had always been confident with Su Man and Bai Ye and only realized how nervous he was at this critical moment.

Cheng Anya stood alone, supporting her hands on the edge of the table. She stared at the screen with her eyes like a torch, deeply afraid that there was any mistake. She prayed desperately for the antidote to take effect quickly.

“Bai Ye, increase the dosage,” Su Man said flatly.

Bai Ye frowned and injected the antidote without further questions.
