Chapter 587 The Flare-Up And The Truth
He could not endure this anymore.
Even though he was at the mercy of this man, Julian Shaw's fingers were already moving ever so slightly.
However, before he could do anything, Susan Shelby stared at Julius Jenner and then thought for a moment before she suddenly spat a mouthful of spit at Julius ferociously.
Julius was caught off guard, as he had not expected that Susan would do this. He did not manage to avoid it in time so the spit struck his head and then flowed down slowly.
Julian was overjoyed at once. "Well done, Susie."
Julius pulled a long face and clenched Susan's chin tightly with ferociousness. ' Do you want to die?"
Susan sneered. "You can't kill me! He awakened once recently and he has now disappeared. I believe that the two of us reached an agreement during that short time. We agreed that you would not be allowed to kill me and Julian."
Julius' expression changed for a moment before he looked at Susan with a gloomy expression. "That’s rather smart of you.'
"I'm only making a plausible guess," said Susan without the slightest hesitation.
Julius looked at her with a strange gaze. "I can only say that you have a rather good understanding of him. In that case, he and you are bound together like good friends, huh?"
Julius then took a glance at Julian. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk. How does it feel to know that your wife is in love with another man?"
Julian acknowledged the fact that he was feeling immensely jealous in his heart.
However, he only let out a cold grunt. He did not comment further on Julius' remark.
Susan furrowed her brows. "What kind of nonsense are you talking about..."
She was about to explain herself when a gush of strange coldness swept over and overwhelmed her entire body all of a sudden.
Susan’s body froze at once.
The momentary coldness passed and was followed by a blazing heat that spread from Susan's chest. Susan's forehead became burning hot almost instantaneously.
Soon, she felt cold again.
It was cold for a while and then hot for a while.
This alternating hot and cold feeling became increasingly more frequent.
Soon, dense, fine sweat drops emerged on Susan's forehead. Her entire body curled up involuntarily.
"What are you doing? Are you pretending to be sick?" Julius looked at Susan, sounding baffled.
Julian's expression changed rapidly.
He realized something at once.
Susie was having... a flare-up!
"Susie!" He struggled to sit up and then endured the pain forcefully as he ran to Susie's side right away.
The only thing he was thankful for now was that Willa Doyle had already concocted the medication, which was in his pocket now.
Julian procured the medication bottle with shaky hands and then took out two pills and stuffed them into Susan's mouth.
Susan had yet to react to the situation when Julian made her swallow the medication forcefully.
Soon, Julian exhausted all his strength and slumped next to Susan right away.
His gaze remained fixed on Susan anxiously all this time.
Fortunately, the effect of the medication was instantaneous this time. It did not even take a few minutes before Susan's body temperature dropped and the color of her face returned to normal.
"Huh." A look of interest flashed past Julius ' eyes.
He made his way over to Julian and picked up the medication bottle right away.
“Give it back to me.” Julian tensed up at once.
Julius ignored Julian. He picked up a pill and placed it under his nostril to sniff it. Then, a small piece of equipment materialized out of nowhere and he began to examine the pill briefly.
"Such complex components..." Julius looked at Susan as if she was a virus storehouse. "How many viruses are there actually in your body?"
"Viruses?” Susan was rather shocked. She could not refrain from casting a glance at Julian. "What kind of medication is that? I was only infected with the Errol Virus, but I thought that virus was
eradicated five years ago."
Julian had yet to answer when Julius sneered, "Five years ago? I’m afraid that you must be mistaken. You must be dreaming if you think you would have been capable of eradicating the virus by yourself had Julian not used some cunning tricks to get his hands on the cure for the Errol Virus two years ago."

Susan felt like her mind was in a chaotic state all of a sudden.
If Julian had only managed to get his hands on the cure two years ago, what had happened five years ago?
Susan could not refrain from looking at Julian with a doubtful gaze.
She suddenly realized that Julian seemed to have been hiding something important from her. Plus, he seemed to have been hiding it from her for a very long time.
As he faced Susan’s doubtful gaze, Julian let out a forced laugh. There was no reason for him to hide it anymore.
He said in a deep voice, "Susie, five years ago, Mr. Clark did not hand over the method to eradicate the Errol Virus. I was using the simplified version of the medication to slow down the flare-up of the virus all this time."
"What?!" Shock flashed past Susan's eyes uncontrollably.
Since he had said this, Julian had no intention of hiding the truth anymore.
He said in all apparent seriousness, * However, even the simplified version of the medication would only give you five years of life at most. That is why I've been constantly searching for a complete version of the antidote. It was only three years ago that Joseph brought Willa to me. He told me that
Willa had a way to cure the virus. After thorough consideration, I made the decision to trust Willa. Hence, when I was seen in a hotel with Willa previously, we were discussing how to eradicate the virus. I made Willa stay in the house so it would be more convenient for her to treat you."
There was a large amount of information in that statement. Susan could not help getting caught in a daze.
Julian then added, "I didn't have the courage to tell you the truth because I didn't want you to endure the stress of knowing about this terrifying virus. Even though you misunderstood the relationship between me and Willa, I persisted all along and didn't explain it to you.
Susan took a deep breath. She was reacting to the situation slowly. "How are you going to explain what happened two years ago then?"
Julian let out a forced laugh and said, "I had been trusting Willa all this time.
However, the very night you told me that Willa had been speaking to you without my knowledge and had instigated our relationship, I immediately realized that there was something wrong with this woman. I stopped administering your medicine and flew to Africa to look for her.'
A look of deep thought flashed past Susan's eyes as she began to connect the dots of Julian’s narration and the events that had taken place in the past.
"I formed a plan to acquire the Dark Night Agency's full game plan and I collaborated with Joseph. With Oliver’s help, we uprooted the Dark Night Agency in Africa and Willa was under our control. In order to live, she handed over the antidote formula of the Errol Virus to us. That was supposed to be the end of the story. However, I didn't expect that this woman had hidden her ill intentions. She had infected you with over 100 types of different viruses while treating you before. You had to consume the wonder drug prepared by Willa on a weekly basis, or you would end up like you felt earlier. You would feel cold and feverish and then die within 24 hours.”
While describing this, Julian recalled the situation and could not refrain from holding Susan's hand anxiously. "Susie, I couldn’t let anything happen to you!"
A look of enlightenment flashed past Susan's eyes indistinctly. "What were the conditions Willa proposed in order to provide me with the wonder drug?"
Julian took a deep breath and then looked at Susan. "She wanted me to be with her.”
