Logan turned around and looked at Franklin silently.

He hesitated if he should tell Franklin about Sylvia's secret.

However, the virus was like a time bomb.

She might die because of it at any time.

The last thing he want was Sylvia's death.

He didn't know what his grandfather told Sylvia on his deathbed, but he knew Sylvia was his elder sister when they were young. It was Sylvia who took him to join the Dark Night and cultivated him to be her right hand. Then there was the second most powerful man, Logan Mertens. And Sylvia allowed Eden to do what he liked in order to keep him from some dark events.

She just protected the brothers in silence.

Maybe, it was time for him to repay her.

"Do you know the virus?" said Logan's low and calm voice in the room. "What?"

Franklin clenched his fists, stunned.

Logan actually knew the secret of Sylvia.

He felt as bitter as bile. He thought that he was familiar with Sylvia, but it was not the truth.

It seemed he knew nothing about her in fact.

"There's an incurable virus which will live and die with its host. The virus will undermine the willpower and body of the host. It craves blood from the opposite sex. And rare blood is its favorite. To absorb the “nutrient’, it will urge the host to have sex."

Franklin's face was cold.

Franklin looked at Logan's impassive, with his chilly pupils shrunk.

His temples ached again, like an awl piercing his nerves violently.

He suddenly knew why Logan phoned him last time.

It was the reason.

Sylvia suffered from the virus, thereby needing his RH-negative blood. His knuckles turned white due to his clenching. His heart seemed to be hammered with a nail that gradually pierced deeper and ultimately made him no longer tolerate the pain.
