Chapter 804 Poisonous Heart
Steven had heard of the danger faced by Samuel and Natalie, but he did not know of the details even on the way there. When Justin dropped that truth bomb, the color immediately drained from Steven’s face. “What are you saying, Justin? What signs of aging? Don’t speak of such nonsense!”
On the other hand, Natalie met Justin’s eyes and affirmed his words with a solemn nod.
“Yes.”
Steven stared at Justin before turning to look at Natalie. In that instance, he felt as though he was struck by lightning. His mind went blank immediately.
Peering at Samuel, who was fast asleep on the bed, Natalie’s lips parted as she whispered, “Steven, Justin, let’s take this discussion to the study.”
The trio made their way into the study.
The second they step foot into the study, Steven exploded. “You guys better tell me what’s going on! Nova’s baby shower was going fine. Why did Holly faint out of a sudden? And why is Sam aging for no apparent reason?”
Natalie took a deep breath and began recounting the incident to Steven, including as much details as she could.
After listening to the whole story, Steven slammed his fist onto the table. “Yara! That evil, vicious b*tch! I will make her life a living hell, so bad that she would regret being alive! How dare she did that to Nova! Not to mention using such despicable methods against you and Sam! She really deserves to die!”
At the side, Justin crossed his arms in front of his chest and announced coldly, “Sorry to break it to you all, but she’s dead.”
“What?”
That was…
Natalie stumbled backward at the news. Her body stiffened as a chill crept down her spine.
“I’m guessing it was Yara’s companion. They must have killed her upon the realization that she was about to expose the location of the base.” Justin balled his hands into fists. “Before she died, I forced Yara to tell me about the clue to finding the antidote. Unfortunately, what she gave me were only fragments of the whole picture. She mentioned something about G20 Coldbridge, the moon, a secret compartment… and that’s about it.”
Steven roared in fury. “D*mn it! How on earth could there be such a vicious drug?”
“A drug could be poison or medicine. It’s the heart of mankind that’s truly vicious.” Tears started forming in Natalie’s eyes, but her gaze remained cold. “I don’t care how much the enemies don’t want their hideout to be exposed, or how much they don’t want me to get my hands on the antidote. I am not giving up. It was because of me that he ended up like this. I don’t care how he will become, I will choose him over and over again!”
“What about Sam?” queried Steven. “If he finds out he’s going to age rapidly, his pride and ego would crush him. He definitely would not want to face you!”
