Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 210

Upon seeing his puzzled expression, Sylvia explained, feeling a little flattered by the look in his black eyes, “Didn’t you say that regular ointment wouldn’t work for wounds caused by the S40 strong corrosive agent? This box contains specialized ointment that I bought this morning. I’ll use it later, and it should help you recover faster.”

Edgar looked down at the ointment in her hands. Though she didn’t say it explicitly, he knew in his heart that this ointment was only available in the war laboratory. It was likely that she had contacted Chris to

obtain it.

The treatment effect was decent, but with the $404 biochemical virus in his body, this ointment would be ineffective for his injuries.

“Thank you. This is the first gift you’ve given me since your divorce,” he said, his thumb gently rubbing the ointment box. His eyes turned reddish, and even the wounds all over his body felt less painful.

“It’s not a gift. This time, you got hurt because of me, so consider it my way of making amends,” Sylvia replied, her voice trailing off. “And” if we really think about it, the true ‘gifts‘ since the divorce would be the bankruptcy of the Feng family, your employment agreement, and that 023 medicine.”

Edgar rubbed the back of his hand, feeling a shift in her demeanor. Suddenly, her words didn’t carry the same weight”

Sylvia observed his expression, pleased to see it stiffen. A smile bloomed on her face as she went to retrieve Nick’s written confession from the table.

She read every word carefully, her smile gradually fading, replaced by a more serious expression.

“Nick said that Mr. Logan Smith instructed everything that happened at the bar and the potion incident?”

she asked.

Logan was her fourth uncle. In the Smith family, he was an idle person with no ambitions.

She had previously suspected her third uncle, Mr. Xander Smith of being involved in the schemes against her, but she never expected it to be Logan.

Edgar nodded. “Though Nick may not have explained everything in detail, he can clearly outline the exchange process. Logan’s son works in the State Affairs Bureau, and Nick fears him and follows his orders. It would make sense for him to be sent to the lab to steal the medicine.”

Sylvia sat on the small sofa beside him, silently contemplating for a long time. Anger slowly surfaced on

her face.

“This Logan, I won’t let him off the hood Tomorroan, til discreetly head to 5 City to collect what I’m owed!”

If someone dared to harm her in such a sinister way and didnt let him taste the conserpences, she couldn’t just let it slide!

She looked up, noticing the injuries on Edgar’s body, “You’re still injured, just stay at the Cloud View Villa. You’re not allowed to accompany me this time.”

Edgar was worried that he wouldn’t find an excuse to join her if she forbade him from going, so he came up with a quick retort.

“Alright, I’ll stay at the Cloud View Villa and wait for you to come back,” he acquiesced, lowering his voice as he spoke the last few words. However, Sylvia was too engrossed in carefully reading Nick’s confession
