Chapter 398 H1 Reagent
"Yes." Katherine nodded. "The cure is nothing but a drug. He can use it to control Corey and in turn
control me. That's his goal. The reason he handed Corey over to me is that he thought I couldn't cure
him. And he thought even if I could cure him, he could still have me under control."
David's face fell. He stood around for a moment and sat down, then he slammed his fist down on the
coffee table. "That's his own son! How could he do that? He's even worse than an animal!"
Katherine had seen how cruel Emmanuel could be, so she could accept the fact that he was evil. "He's
a cautious man who only cares about himself. His family and his lovers are nothing but stepping stones
for him, and he'll use them however he wants. Family is nothing to him." I can't believe Corey grew up
to be such a happy-go-lucky guy when his family is this f*cked up.
"What now? Are we going to drag it out? How long can he survive?" David gnashed his teeth, looking
worried.
Katherine pursed her lips and answered, "He's not in any danger for now. I can't cure all the poisons at
the same time, so I'll have to take it slowly. I've sent my men to collect the necessary reagents, but it's
rare. Even the black market rarely sells it. I wonder if I can even get it this time. If I can't…" She paused
and narrowed her eyes. I think I might have to use Lab 7.
Just hearing that filled David with trepidation. "What about Emmanuel? You only have three days. If you
don't give him the file tomorrow, he'll come after you."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I know." Katherine didn't care. There was mockery in her eyes, and a smirk curled her lips. "But he
won't have time for me tomorrow."
David paused. He was lagging a bit. "How so?"
Katherine didn't answer. Instead, she looked at her phone for a while. "Time for him to take his meds.
You do it for me. I need to make a call."
"I see." David couldn't force her to say what she didn't want to, so he went into the kitchen to take the
meds without saying anything.
Once he went upstairs, Katherine went to the balcony and called Joaquin. The call went through right
away.
"What happened?" Joaquin asked. There was concern in his voice.
Katherine heaved a long sigh. "It's fine now, but I'll need H1 Reagent to save him. Carmine's on it now."
Joaquin paused for a moment. "What if she can't find any?"
"Then I'll have to make it myself, which is going to be a hassle. I might have to stay in Kyoland for a bit
more."
Joaquin got worried. "I should go. Xavier and Jeremy are here to keep an eye on things. I can't just let
you handle things yourself."
Katherine didn't refuse this time. She mused over it and agreed. "Fine. If she still hasn't come back
tomorrow, I'll make my way to Lab 7. It'll take a few days. If you're here to take care of him, I can work
in peace."
"Sure." Joaquin sighed. "But it's been two days. Can he last much longer?"
"He can. I've weakened the poison. Another acupuncture session tomorrow, and he can last for a
week."
"I'll pack up and go there right away."
…
He literally meant 'right away,' much to Katherine's surprise. Two hours later, he showed up, and dusk
had just descended. "Y-You're fast." She couldn't believe it. A flight from Hovington to Kyoland took
ninety minutes with boarding and disembarking being added to the time taken for the journey. So, he
went to the airport after we hung up?
Joaquin looked at her and smiled. "I drove all the way here, and I might have sped through things a
little."
Katherine frowned. "You sped through things?"
Joaquin smiled. "Just worried that you're alone."
A voice complained, "What am I, chopped liver?"
Joaquin raised his head and looked past Katherine's shoulder, then he saw David. "It's been a while,
Mr. Blatt." He smiled.
David nodded. "It's been a while, Mr. Levisay. You're fast. I can see you're really worried about her."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKatherine blushed, but this wasn't the time for nonsense. She cleared her throat and turned to look at
Joaquin. "Where's Noah?"
Joaquin said, "Xavier is with her. She'll be fine."
"I see." It had been a while since she saw Noah, and Katherine missed her.
"What about Carmine? Any news?" Joaquin asked.
Katherine became solemn and shook her head. "Not yet."
A sigh escaped Joaquin's lips. "We'll wait for her."
…
At the same time, Jayden had gotten news of it as well. He was in Fontan. "Emmanuel poisoned his
own son just to get that file?"
Hansel nodded. "Yes."
Jayden narrowed his eyes, light glinting within them. "I see. She didn't go to Zoscistan for her
grandmother's belongings; she went there for her grandfather's."
Hansel paused for a moment. "Sir, how do you know—"
"Of course, I know. The Grays and Scott-Tuttons are barely related, but they were friends with the
Olsens. Emmanuel and Darren researched infrasound weapons back in the day, and the whole of
Kyoland knows that. But they went their separate ways after that. I see he's trying to take Darren's
research from her."
