Mr. Hawthorne, Your Wife Wants a Divorce Again-Chapter 1104: Pecked in the Eye by a Goose

Stephen turned his head, only to be knocked out by a hand chop from Josiah Keaton behind him, collapsing with a thud.

Josiah Keaton smirked playfully, flicked his wrist lightly, and remarked, "It’s you, old man, daring to frighten my little assistant to tears. Knocking you out is a bargain."

Upon hearing this, Wade Lowell lifted his cold eyes slightly and said indifferently, "Is everything outside handled?"

"When I take action, is there anything that can’t be done?" Josiah Keaton scoffed, stepping over the unconscious Stephen and walking to the operating table to take Ann Vaughn from Wade Lowell’s hands, only to be blocked by him.

Josiah Keaton immediately felt dissatisfied, "What do you mean? Why should you hold my assistant?"

"Nathan Hawthorne will be back soon, are you sure you want to waste time arguing with me over such a small matter?" Wade Lowell lowered his eyes, his palm on Ann Vaughn’s shoulder remained unmoved, seemingly having no intention of handing her over to Josiah Keaton.

His words had undeniable logic, and Josiah Keaton wanted to take Ann Vaughn from him but feared hurting her, so he had to temporarily compromise.

The two worked together, Wade Lowell carried Ann Vaughn on his back, while Josiah Keaton was much simpler and rougher, directly lifting Zeke by his collar, carrying her away without a trace of tenderness.

However, after only a couple of steps, Wade Lowell suddenly stopped.

"What are you doing?" Josiah Keaton looked at him suspiciously.

"She’s too heavy, let’s switch," Wade Lowell put Ann Vaughn down from his back, calmly saying to Josiah Keaton.

Josiah Keaton: "..."

While taking Ann Vaughn from Wade Lowell’s hands, Josiah Keaton cursed him, "Don’t say a girl is heavy, got it? Is she really heavy? No, she’s just bursting with adorableness!"

Wade Lowell’s lips twitched slightly, just as he lifted Zeke’s collar, the laboratory door "bang" was kicked open.

Nathan Hawthorne returned, looking at the chaotic scene in the lab, and Wade Lowell holding Zeke by the collar, his usually gentle face turned exceedingly grim, his gaze fierce.

The patrol team following him raised their guns simultaneously, aiming at Wade Lowell.

"Wade Lowell, put her down!" Nathan Hawthorne said sternly.

The gun barrels were all aimed at Wade Lowell, and Nathan Hawthorne’s anger was directed towards him, leaving no room to care about Josiah Keaton and Ann Vaughn.

Josiah Keaton was stunned for a moment, no wonder Wade Lowell suddenly wanted to swap with him...

"As long as we leave safely, I will naturally let her go." Wade Lowell’s calm face showed no sign of fear, negotiating with Nathan Hawthorne in a calm tone, "You know what I have in my hands, do you think her little life is enough for me to play with?"

Josiah Keaton almost wanted to applaud him.

Daring to threaten even the mastermind behind Zeus Base, he suddenly started to admire this guy a bit!

Nathan Hawthorne’s eyes were fierce, suppressing the anger rising to his head, he laughed angrily, "If anything happens to Zeke, I will have Ann Vaughn buried with her!"

"What do you mean?" Josiah Keaton frowned and questioned, "What did you do to Ann Vaughn?"

Wade Lowell also furrowed his brows, looking coldly at Nathan Hawthorne, "Did you inject her with the real S-class drug?"

Josiah Keaton again started to get confused, "What do you mean? You injected Ann Vaughn with a fake S-class drug?"

Good grief, he actually faked it right under Stephen’s nose and wasn’t discovered!

A ruthless person!

"I had Stephen inject her with the final product of the S-class drug." Nathan Hawthorne’s gaze remained fixed on Zeke in Wade Lowell’s hands, his smile contained a slightly chilling cruelty, "If Zeke cannot survive, she shouldn’t think she can escape."

The S-class drug was developed specifically for Zeke by the base to prevent rejection reactions her body might face on the day of the blood exchange, to better assist her body in perfectly merging with the sacrificial blood.

On this basis, the maximum guarantee that the blood exchange procedure would not fail.

In other words, this drug was only suitable for Zeke’s physique, if injected into Ann Vaughn, it would bring countless negative effects instead of any benefit.

The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly tense.

"The antidote." Wade Lowell’s gaze was icy, his low voice hiding a murderous intent, "Bring it out."

"Not a poison, why would there be an antidote?" Nathan Hawthorne smiled warmly, "But to Ann Vaughn, this drug is more poisonous than poison."

Josiah Keaton couldn’t help but curse in anger, "Madman!"

Although he previously harbored a certain reverence for Nathan Hawthorne, these reverences shattered completely upon discovering the true nature of the base, utterly fearless of him.

To exchange blood and destiny for a non-aging person, countless innocent lives were sacrificed.

Now they wanted to add Ann Vaughn—

"Who said there’s no antidote?"

Suddenly, an unexpected voice entered everyone’s ears.

Wade Lowell suddenly turned his head, looking at Josiah Keaton’s back.

Ann Vaughn rubbed her eyes awake, patting Josiah Keaton’s shoulder to signal him to let her down, lazily stretching, her messy hair spilling beside her cheeks, adding a touch of charming clumsiness.

As if she hadn’t noticed the tense atmosphere in the lab, Ann Vaughn casually raised a hand to greet Nathan Hawthorne.

"Hey, uncle, seems like I’m lucky, still managing to see your outrageously handsome face in hell, dying without regrets."

Her cute and soft appearance, yet her words made people’s hearts reflexively twitch. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Nathan Hawthorne’s expression was grim, "You’re actually okay?"

"If uncle is okay, how could I be in trouble?" Ann Vaughn waved innocently, "Speaking of which, the researchers in your base really lack discretion, doing research right in front of me without any reservation. Isn’t this forcing me to learn covertly? So I unreservedly remembered everything."

The steps and materials were memorized by her, is reverse engineering the antidote hard?

Moreover, in pharmaceutical matters, there’s nothing that can be a challenge for Ann Vaughn.

Nathan Hawthorne’s face turned even darker, as if he wanted to laugh, but his expression revealed cruelty, "My people are watching you around the clock, when did you make the antidote?"

"Oh, now that’s a long story, if it weren’t for uncle letting Number 89 feed me all kinds of random supplements daily, how could I dig out antidote materials from them?" Ann Vaughn’s eyes curved, angering others without any remorse, "All thanks to uncle’s generous donation!"

Those supplements were originally sent by Nathan Hawthorne to improve Ann Vaughn’s body condition for the blood exchange with Zeke.

It actually became her medicine cabinet...

For the first time, Nathan Hawthorne felt a heartache.

He previously thought this girl had a sweet mouth and was likable.

It turns out, hunting geese all day, finally got pecked by the goose.

"If I don’t let you go, what can you do?"

Wade Lowell calmly said, "The mist on the island is getting lighter and lighter."

Without a head or tail, the sentence instantly changed Nathan Hawthorne’s complexion.
