Chapter 1789 The Calm Before The Storm
They’re this confident? Nicole sighed and said, “I keep having this feeling that, even though I can’t make out the ingredients of the drug, the smell isn’t unfamiliar to me. However, I just can’t quite tell what it is. I want whoever’s free to accompany me back to the small town so I can grab more similar drugs to experiment with! If I keep trying, maybe I’ll get lucky and hit a match! This way, Jeremy and Faye will be saved!”
She originally wanted Evan to accompany her, but the latter had said that he couldn’t leave for the next few days, so she had to ask one of them to go with her.
After all, that person could also act as her assistant, either to help with her experiment or deal with the hospital CEO.
They all looked at each other. Darius believed that Damien and Draven would want to stay by Evan and Juan’s side to protect them. As for Jensen, he needed to take care of Jeremy, so Darius was the only one who was free enough to accompany her.
“I’ll go with you, Mrs. Seet,” he volunteered.
Nicole thought for a while and said, “Okay. We’ll go tomorrow, then.”
“All right, Mrs. Seet.”
All of them felt that it would be for the best if Nicole went to the town tomorrow.
That was because if they failed to obtain the antidote later at night, Evan would be on the receiving end of flirtations.
If Nicole left, then at least when Evan was being harassed by Shermaine, she wouldn’t be there to witness it. That way, Nicole wouldn’t get jealous, and she would have one less thing occupying her mind.
However, they completely didn’t expect that Nicole would return at the worst moment to witness the most intense scene between Evan and Shermaine.
Even Evan had no idea how to explain himself. And all of that would be happening in the evening of the day after.
The most important thing at the moment was that it was time for Davin to disguise himself as Elias to steal the antidote.
Evan entered the cabin with a heavy heart. He thought Shermaine would make a move, but she was surprisingly quiet throughout the whole day. Has she given up on the promise? Or is she waiting for the perfect opportunity to make a flashy move?
He had no idea what would happen next, and that made him anxious.
Upon seeing him enter the building, Draven informed, “Dinner’s ready. All of us are prepared to eat.”
“Say, I didn’t see Levant and Davin for the entire afternoon. Where did the two of them go?” Damien asked.
Evan furrowed his eyebrows. The sky’s getting dark. It’s almost time for them to enact the plan, so where the hell are they?
“Damien, go find them.”
“Understood, Mr. Seet.”
“Draven, you go with him.”
“Yes, Mr. Seet.”
Once both of them left, the rest began digging in.
Evan smirked faintly as he stared at the well-prepared dinner with a balanced amount of meat and vegetables.
Darius, Damien, and Draven had surprised him because he didn’t expect his Hidden Masters to be so skilled in cooking.
“Mr. Seet, Damien and Draven bought these ingredients from the town nearby. It’s not as good as the ones in Y City, but I hope the taste will satisfy you!”
“Do all of you usually prepare your meals by yourselves, Darius?”
“Sometimes. It’s not a frequent thing. If Ms. Maya is willing to accept us as her apprentices and teach us a few of her techniques, I’m certain that our cooking skills will be greatly enhanced.”
The mention of Maya aroused Nicole’s worry. “I wonder if Maya is getting along with Nina. And her issues with Wilbur… Have they been resolved?”
Evan stared at her when he heard her mumbling about Maya and Nina. “Both of them are already adults. They can take care of their own problems. There’s no need for you to worry about them too much.”
Nicole nodded reluctantly before mentioning that she wanted to visit the town again to analyze the ingredients of the drug with Darius.
Evan was stunned for a second. But on second thought, he agreed to it.
After all, if she wasn’t around when Shermaine did something outrageous, she wouldn’t misunderstand the situation. It would be easier for him to deal with Shermaine’s shenanigans in that case.
Of course, if they could obtain the antidote tonight, then perhaps they could depart tomorrow to find Nicole and leave the place as soon as possible.
Success was entirely hung on whether Davin could find the antidote tonight.
