Chapter 384
The next day, at the laboratory .
Cheng Anya saw how Bai Ye injected the antidote into Third Young Master Ye’s body . The transparent liquid flowed like cold spring water . Her heart was cold as well, to the point that her limbs were cold and her palms were sweating a lot . She watched the reaction of Third Young Master Ye, who was on the operating table, nervously .
This was not the first time Su Man and Bai Ye had developed the antidote . In those few days, they had developed three antidotes and tested them on mice . For the first two times, the mice were killed, whereas for the third time, the mice had no reaction .
However, there was a reaction in the mice . According to Su Man’s analysis, all the toxins in the blood had disappeared in an hour .
It meant that the antidote had at least worked for the mice .
Because Cheng Anya was pregnant with a child, they couldn’t guess what reaction the antidote would have on her . They could only test it on Third Young Master Ye first as the time he could live was very limited .
The antidote must be injected .
Ye Wei, Eleven, and the young kid were there as well . That day was the most critical . If the antidote failed to work, then they had to find another way to save them, which would waste more time .
For Third Young Master Ye’s case, he wouldn’t be able to hang on for that long .
The young kid and Cheng Anya both knew that this was their last chance . That day was the only day to check if the antidote would work or not .
After the antidote was injected into Third Young Master Ye’s body, everyone looked at the diagram on the screen quietly . The supply of tranquilizer had been temporarily stopped and Third Young Master Ye only had an oxygen mask on . The rest of the reagents had been evacuated too . It all depended on the reaction of the antidote .
Bai Ye felt Third Young Master Ye’s pulse and looked serious . Judging from his pulse, he was very peaceful . Because the supply of tranquilizer had just been stopped, he had no signs of waking up, which explained the peaceful pulse .
But half an hour later, he still hadn’t had a clear response .
The diagram on the screen showed that the virus hadn’t been defeated yet . Cheng Anya couldn’t understand the diagram but knew that the virus was engulfing his body cells through the device’s images of the inside of Third Young Master Ye’s body .
Bai Ye explained to them that the black part indicated the area where the virus invaded . From the diagram, Third Young Master Ye’s liver, stomach, and spleen were all seriously infected with the virus . His body was almost full of the horrifying virus, and they were all in a state of dissociation and variation .
After they had injected the antidote, small red bubbles appeared on the screen, constantly hitting the black areas . Cheng Anya and the others had seen how the antidote worked on the mice . After ten minutes, the black areas would gradually fade and disappear .
It meant that the virus was being eliminated and was disappearing .
But it had already been half an hour since the red bubbles had started to attack the black area, but there was no change in Third Young Master Ye’s body . It was like a fight between justice and evil . The justice wanted to kill the evil, but there was nothing that could be done .
Bai Ye looked at the screen with his arms crossed . It was the first time that his heart rate was this fast . Wasn’t the antidote working? He breathed in a lungful of cool air . According to his precise calculation, there would be a reaction after fifteen minutes . But why hadn’t there been any reaction?
The mice had only taken ten minutes to fuse the virus .
Something was amiss .
Bai Ye was sweating in between his eyebrows .
Su Man sat in front of the computer calmly and stared intensely at the screen . He looked very calm, not flustered at all, as if it was normal for him to have no reaction for half an hour and there was nothing to be worried about .
But Su Man’s palms were also sweating . He knew that if the antidote had no effect this time, Third Young Master Ye would surely die . Even if he and Bai Ye tried to develop another antidote as fast as possible, the results would only be out in three or five days . Cheng Anya could wait, but Third Young Master Ye definitely couldn’t .
Su Man’s noble facial features were solemn . He didn’t need to look back to know what expression the people behind him had .
Cheng Anya and the others did not dare to disturb Su Man and Bai Ye in case they might be distracted . Ye Wei and Eleven puckered their lips and waited nervously while the young kid accompanied Cheng Anya for fear that his mother would not be able to endure such torture .
The time waiting between life and death was the most torturous . In this case, most of them had given up on hope .
The young kid looked at his daddy, who was lying on the operating table not far away . His gaze showed pain and agony as he had just found out that they were related for less than half a year . He didn’t want to lose him . Just like what the fortune teller had always told others after reading their palms, one would lose someone they loved before they reached ten years old .
However, he later found out that the survey showed that most people would lose the people they loved before they turned ten . Some had lost their grandfathers, their mothers, or grandmothers . For him, he had already lost Nuo Nuo .
Hence, it was considered that he had lost a loved one already . His daddy must survive .
If he died, his mommy would probably turn into a walking corpse and never be happy again .
‘Daddy, you have to hang in there . ’
He had always been confident with Su Man and Bai Ye and only realized how nervous he was at this critical moment .
Cheng Anya stood alone, supporting her hands on the edge of the table . She stared at the screen with her eyes like a torch, deeply afraid that there was any mistake . She prayed desperately for the antidote to take effect quickly .
“Bai Ye, increase the dosage,” Su Man said flatly .
Bai Ye frowned and injected the antidote without further questions .
In fact, the antidote was also a kind of poison . If Third Young Master Ye didn’t have the virus in his body, the injection of the antidote alone was enough to kill him within a minute . Hence, there was a certain risk in increasing the dosage . A little calculation error and he would be killed by the antidote .
“Bai Ye, what’s the matter? Why is he not having any reaction at all?” Ye Wei asked nervously . “Will it not work?”
“Wait,” Bai Ye said firmly .
Time went by slowly . Waiting was the most painful and torturous period . He had told them that he would wake up in an hour . If he didn’t, he would die . But they had waited for nearly an hour and he hadn’t woken up yet .
It was as if hope was slipping away between one’s fingers bit by bit .
Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the operating table . Third Young Master Ye’s wrist moved . He seemed to be struggling to get rid of the shackles, but he was stuck . He panicked and pulled hard, making big movements .
All of them were shocked . Su Man quickly analyzed how functional his body was on his computer . Third Young Master Ye groaned as if he was in pain . He shook his head and tried to break free . Cheng Anya and Ye Wei wanted to go over, but they were stopped by Bai Ye .
Suddenly, Third Young Master Ye let out a roar . “Ahh!!”
He had closed his eyes tightly for nearly ten days and opening them suddenly made his dark eyes full of blood, red and scary . His limbs began to struggle violently and he kept shouting wildly like a crazy person .
Upon looking at his state, Cheng Anya’s eyes turned red as well . “Ah Chen…”
She covered her mouth tightly and her heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife . She couldn’t bear to look and looked down at the table . However, she could still hear his wild roars .
‘Ah Chen…’
“Daddy…”
“Third brother, what happened to you?”
Ye Wei was also flustered . “Su Man, what’s wrong with my brother?”
“The antidote is starting work,” Su Man said calmly . “Since the sedative had been removed, it is normal for him to be in agony . In addition, the antidote is engulfing the virus and the two reactions are colliding with each other . This is a normal reaction that he’ll have . ”
“Besides, we have increased the dosage, which means he would suffer more . ” Bai Ye continued .
“Will Daddy be okay?”
“He won’t die since he had a reaction,” Su Man said as he busily checked all the indexes of Third Young Master Ye’s body while ordering Bai Ye to inject several kinds of test solutions into him .
So cold, so bold .
When everybody heard that he would not die, they were all relieved .
Cheng Anya and the others did not understand what was going on since they were not professionals . They only knew that Third Young Master Ye’s pain seemed to have been reduced . That wild roar that could only be heard from someone whose organs are being dug out was really scary .
Third Young Master Ye looked a little scary too . His features were ferocious and his voice was hoarse . His limbs had scars and wounds as he had tried to break free from the shackles, and they were all bloody . Some of the wounds were so deep that his bones could be seen . It was as if the shackles were going to be embedded in his bones .
Cheng Anya felt sorry for him .
“Daddy, it’s going to be okay . Hang in there . ” The young kid clenched his fist and cheered Third Young Master Ye on .
“He can’t hear you,” Bai Ye smiled and said . Third Young Master Ye would not be able to feel anything temporarily, except for the pain and dizziness, which lasted for almost ten minutes .
The antidote began to fuse in the black virus area quickly and cleared the virus in Third Young Master Ye gradually . Ye Wei and Eleven were familiar with various modern technologies, but they had never seen such clear images of the whole process . They could clearly see the antidote cleaning Third Young Master Ye’s body and how the black virus faded and disappeared slowly .
At the same time, Third Young Master Ye slowly sweated .
His roar slowly softened and turned into an uncomfortable snort .
At last, Bai Ye injected him with serum and finished the last step of detoxification . Third Young Master Ye was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep .
Cheng Anya was anxious and wanted to go over but was stopped by Bai Ye immediately . “Anya, he has just been detoxified . Don’t poison him again . It’s your turn next . ”
Cheng Anya paused for a while . “Detoxified? Really? Is he all right now?”
“Yes . It worked . ”
“Great!” Ye Wei gave Eleven a high-five and everyone in the laboratory cheered . Even Su Man smiled .
After such a terrible detoxification process, the young kid was worried . “Will my mommy suffer as much as Daddy?”
“No,” Bai Ye said with a smile .
