The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 350

Suddenly, Maeve felt a chill on her back as if someone was staring at her. However, when she turned around, she saw nothing at the door of the ward. There was no one there.

She retracted her gaze and watched Theo administer acupuncture to Jaylen again. Jaylen was not idle either. He instructed Theo where and how deep to insert the needles for better effect. It was clearly a life-and-death critical moment but had turned into a medical exchange scene. After the acupuncture, Jaylen asked Daryl to get some medicine Maeve had something to ask him, so she also sent Theo away.

After they left, Maeve asked, "Jaylen, Daryl said that you've been staying in the laboratory recently. Have you not given up on that experiment?"

Jaylen lowered his eyes. "Mm."

"Why? Or do you have some concerns?" Maeve was puzzled. "The scope of that virus leak was not big; Theo and I only had indirect contact. Moreover, our health check results over the past few years have shown no abnormalities..."

"The incubation period of that virus is as long as eight or nine years," Jaylen interrupted her. "It might or might not flare up. But why should I gamble with you guys' lives? While I still have the energy, I want to develop the inhibitor to prevent any accidents in the future." Maeve pursed her lips. "It's not that I disagree with your plan in advance. It's just that for now, your health is the most important."

She already owed Jaylen a lot and did not want him to waste his time and energy on her in this last

part

of his life.

Hearing her words, Jaylen's gloomy eyes softened significantly. He smiled faintly. "You don't have to feel burdened. This is what I want to do the most now."

Even with Rudolf's help, he knew that he would not live for long. Therefore, he might as well do one last thing for her. If possible, he also hoped that in the end, he had indeed done something unnecessary.

"Then promise me that you'll only do this experiment within your capabilities and not take your health lightly," Maeve said, her expression was serious as she looked at him. "If this situation happens again, even if the virus lying dormant in my body activates in the future, I won't take the inhibitor you develop.

"You know I don't like to owe others favor. If you really die because of me, I'll pay

with my life."

Jaylen was at a loss for words and felt disappointed. 'Does she not like owing others a favor, or owing me a favor? Would everything be so clear between her and Byron?'

"Alright." Jaylen sighed in compromise. "I'll agree with you. I'll prioritize my health." Maeve heaved a sigh of relief.
