GoodReadChapter 0407 Chapter 0407 After hearing Suzy's blunt words, Dylan was left feeling deflated, like a wilted flower under frost.
If he had held on to even a sliver of hope before, it had now been thoroughly extinguished. Suzy's stance couldn't have been clearer-there was no chance for him.
But Dylan wasn't one to give up so easily.
Winning a woman's heart wasn't impossible.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, wasn't there a saying, "Where there's a will, there's a way?" If he put in enough genuine effort, winning her heart again wouldn't be impossible.
With that thought, Dylan's spirits lifted. He began making frequent attempts to win Suzy over, starting with small gestures of goodwill.
For instance, he gave her a gift.
Of course, it couldn't be too extravagant or too impersonal, so he decided to make something himself-a crystal pendant carved into her likeness, delicately crafted with remarkable precision.
When he presented it to her, Dylan spoke with a casual smile. "Thank you for taking care ofthese past few days. I made you a little gift. See if you like it." Suzy's eyes lit up when she saw the pendant, but her enthusiasm quickly faded.
"There's no need. The fact that you're poisoned is partially my fault, so take it back. Once the antidote is ready, we'll go our separate ways. There'll be no need for all this." Dylan's hand froze midair, the pendant dangling awkwardly. "I made this myself. It's not worth much. Just a gesture. You really won't accept it?" "You made it yourself?" Suzy's tone shifted to mild disbelief. As far as she knew, Dylan had no skills in carving, yet the craftsmanship on the pendant was extraordinary. It was far too detailed to have cfrom a beginner's hand.
Dylan noticed the suspicion in her eyes and responded without missing a beat. “I learned sculpting when I was young. But managing the company kepttoo busy to keep it up, so -hardly anyone knows about it." Was that so? Regardless of whether it was true, Suzy wasn't interested in keeping the pendant.
"Even if you made it yourself, I'm not taking it," she said firmly. "The antidote should be ready by now. I'll go check on it." Chapter 0407 With that, she turned and headed upstairs, leaving Dylan standing there, frozen like a fool, the pendant still in his hand.
She was completely unyielding-neither soft words nor hard tactics worked. What would it take to melt that ice- cold heart of hers, even just a little? Not long after, Suzy cback downstairs holding the antidote, handing it to Dylan. " Drink it." Without a moment's hesitation, Dylan took the bowl and drank it all in one go. Suzy was momentarily speechless.
This was bitter medicine. Yet he drank it as if it were plain water. Did he not have taste buds? After waiting for about five minutes, Suzy asked, "How do you feel?" If it was effective, there should already be noticeable changes in his body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDylan looked at her seriously. "I think it's working. The burning sensation in my body seems to be subsiding."
Hearing that it was effective, Suzy finally felt a bit of relief. "That means my approach was correct. This was just a test dose. Tomorrow, I'll add another ingredient to refine it." "Alright."
But what Suzy hadn't anticipated was that they wouldn't even make it to the next day Late that night, Dylan suffered a severe adverse reaction.
Despite the initial positive results, Dylan began coughing up bloodm uncontrollably, far worse far worse than before.
It took over half an hour just to stop the bleeding. After taking his pulse, Suzy discovered that not only had the poison not been neutralized, but it had spread even more aggressively than before.
Her antidote was completely ineffective.
"Damn it!" She hadn't fully understood Claude's methods of creating the toxin, which was why this had happened.
