The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Chapter 910

"Wait up!" Charles was on the phone with Ronald, instructing him to scope out who had been around Phoenix Tree Residence that night and to upgrade their security system pronto. Once he hung up, he caught sight of the syringe clutched in Peter's hand, and the look in his eyes was nothing short of predatory.

"Looks like... it's about to go down!"

Peter was looking pretty rough, and Steven gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "The guy who just took action is Quill Sect's top hitman, Shane Quill. He's the same dude who went after Charles before..."

Charles scrunched his brow in concern. "I'm gonna fetch Sean to figure out what's in this syringe. Brandon..." Peter did not wait for him to finish. He rushed to check on Brandon, but the kid was out like a light, not showing any signs of trouble.

Peter peeled back Brandon's blanket and inspected his arm, spotting the telltale puncture mark. A fierce glint flashed in Peter's eyes, and he scooped up Brandon, ready to bolt. However, Steven pressed a firm hand on Peter's shoulder. "Hold on., Let Sean take a look first. What do you think Tania's gonna say if you just take off with Brandon now?"

Peter's brow furrowed deeper. "But Brandon..."

"Sean first."

Charles returned with Sean in tow, and Sean was all business for once. He strode up to Peter, took one look at Brandon, and said, "Lay him down on the bed."

Brandon on the bed while Sean gave him a quick once-over, checking his temperature with the back of his hand. "He seems okay for now, but I've got to run some tests on this syringe, and... I need to draw some blood from Brandon."
