Chapter 421 - 421: Lus Antidote (1/2)

”Yeah, I came here because I have something to give you.” Mr. Carter directly said to Erick. His eyes were being with joy and excitement.

”Something to give me?” Erick asked again to confirm.

Mr. Carter nodded his head as a response. Erick lowered his gaze to see the small wooden square box Mr. Carter was holding in his hands. His interest was piqued by that wooden box. He wondered what item was inside that box.

”Okay, Mr. Carter. Let's go inside first. Elle is also in the living room right now.” Erick invited him inside.

”Oh, good timing. I wanna talk with her too.” Mr. Carter said, peering his eyes inside. From the door, he could see Elle, sitting on the couch.

Soon, the two men entered the house. Erick went to the kitchen first to get some snacks for their visitor while Mr. Carter joined Elle in the living room.

”Oh, Mr. Carter, good morning. Glad to see you again today.” Elle stood up, greeting him politely. She offered him to sit down. Mr. Carter sat on the vacant single sofa on the left side of Elle. He placed the wooden box in his lap.

”I heard what happened to you two years ago. Erick told me about the toxin in your body.” He said to her truthfully, bringing the topic up regarding Elle's condition.

”Do you see me as a nosy person now? Sticking my nose where it doesn't belong?” Mr. Carter added.

Elle let out a soft giggle before shaking her head. ”No, Mr. Carter. I'm not thinking about that. Besides, I don't mind, honestly. After all, you are my friend and Erick's friend.”

A genuine smile played across his face. ”I'm glad to hear that young people like you and Erick consider this old man as your friend.”

Elle burst out laughing once again because of that remarks. ”Mr. Carter, even in friendship, age doesn't matter.”

”Yeah, you're right. I agree.”

Soon, Erick joined them. ”Have a cup of coffee, Mr. Carter. I know you love strong coffee. So here it is.”

Erick placed the cup of coffee on the table near Mr. Carter. He also brought toasted bread, bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Mr. Carter thanked Erick for his thoughtfulness. Then Erick sat down beside Elle.

”Hmm, Since the two of you are already here, I should ask both of you.” Mr. Carter started to open the conversation.

”What is it, Mr. Carter?”

”Are you still planning to do a dangerous mission just to find the antidote for your friend? You already know that your husband is worried about you.” This question was directed to Elle.

”Yes, I have to do it. Besides, I already get Erick's permission to do it.” Elle said with a faint smile on her face.
