Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 125 Piggybacking Her

By the time she was done, it was more than an hour later. She was so exhausted that she threw herself into a chair.

Not only was she tired, but she was also hot. It was so hot that her sweat had soaked through her clothes. Just like last time, Julian watched as Annalise refined the pills. When he saw that she was sweating profusely, he wanted to wipe her sweat for her, but he was afraid that he would disturb her and affect her progress.

He could only watch as she busied herself. The more he watched, the drier his mouth became.

Seeing that she was finally sitting down, he immediately went over to wipe her sweat and asked her, “Is it over?”

“Yes,” Annalise replied and took the tissues that Julian offered her.

She was so exhausted that she didn’t even have the strength to return Chloe’s call.

“Do we just have to wrap up the things in the pot with paper just like last time?” Julian asked.

He saw that she had wrapped the elixir pills individually last time.

He couldn’t keep the fire going, but he should be able to do this, right?

“No need,” Annalise said.

“Then shall I just put it in a bag?” Julian asked again.

“No, I still need to work on it,” Annalise said.

She took a deep breath and returned Chloe’s call. She asked, “Chloe, are you out of elixir pills again?” “No, I’m looking for you for something else. I’ve signed you up for the Jadeborough Medical Conference,” Chloe said.

“Huh? Why did you sign me up for that thing? I don’t want to go,” Annalise said.

“Silly girl, would I try to harm you? You are married to Julian now and you need to have your own thing going. Master Quigley is going to be there as well.” Chloe said.

“He wants to attend the conference in person?” Annalise grew worried. “He’s been living in seclusion for so many years. Even if someone occasionally uses their connections to find him, he would always issue a gag order. Now, he wants to appear in public again? Does he not plan to live a peaceful life?”

Chloe paused for a moment and said, “He said that nothing is more important than our happiness. He doesn’t want you to follow the path I’ve taken.”

“Chloe…” Annalise felt terrible.

I’m doing great now.”
