The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 497 Decision

Many ideas flashed past Julian Shaw's mind. He had always been firm and resolute when he made decisions.

However, the matter at hand was related to Susan's life. He found himself being uncontrollably indecisive.

Julian could only resent himself for not investigating more meticulously at the beginning before allowing Willa Doyle to treat Susan Shelby carelessly!

Now, it had been discovered that there was something wrong with Willa, yet he sent the medication for testing and found that it was truly effective in suppressing the virus to a certain extent.

Should he allow Susan to continue consuming it? Or should she stop taking it immediately?

If Susan were to continue consuming it, what should he do when nothing turned up on the test of this medication?

If Susan were to stop consuming it immediately, what if the medication was fine?

Julian clenched his fists tightly as a wisp o f cold glint flashed past his eyes.

In any case, the most crucial point now was who the heck Willa was!

Why would she say those things to Susie?

The woman had obviously been trying to cause a misunderstanding.

However, he had only become acquainted with Willa through Joseph Shaw. What sort of enmity could there be between them?

Julian paced the room continuously. He could not allow himself to act rashly and alert the enemy under the circumstances. He could not allow Willa to realize that he was already becoming suspicious for the time being.

He could not sound out Willa, but perhaps h e would be able to acquire more detailed information from Joseph.

Julian called Joseph right away.

"How can I help you, Julian?" Joseph's voice sounded drowsy.

Julian narrowed his eyes. "Joseph, Willa’s teacher developed an antidote that is even safer, faster, and more convenient some time ago. Are you aware of this?"

"Yes, I am.” Joseph confirmed it. "We’ve all converted to using the new medication fully now. Willa prepared the medication needed for a full treatment course for Susan, right? It was me who personally ordered someone to send over a batch of the medications to you."

"You sent it personally? Is the medication the same as the one consumed by your subordinates?" Julian inquired carefully.

"Other than the dosage, which is different based on each treatment course, the rest is the same," Joseph assured Julian. Then, he asked curiously, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Is there something wrong with the medication? I don't think so, because everyone here is getting better."

Julian did not elaborate on Willa’s mysterious identity too much. However, he asked, "Other than what you’ve already told me, do you have any more information on Willa and her teacher?"

Julian spoke with a stern tone, so Joseph answered in all seriousness as well, "I’m grateful for the favor they did me. Since they won't divulge their identities, it would be inappropriate for me to ask too many questions. Why, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing." Julian pondered it and then added, "The lives of so many people are within their grasp. You must be more vigilant."

"What the heck is actually going on?" The sensitive Joseph noticed that something was off about Julian.

"It's inappropriate for me to speak more about that. I will speak to you in detail when I'm done looking into this. Just be careful. On the other hand, our phone conversations should be kept a secret between us. Don’t divulge this to a third person," said Julian.

"Alright." Joseph narrowed his eyes. He did not comment further, but he accepted

Julian's advice right away.

After the phone conversation with Joseph, Julian still did not manage to get an answer.

Should he continue to let Susan consume the medication?

Julian’s fists tightened and relaxed twice before he made a decision at last.

Since Willa harbored ill intentions for Susie, then the medication given by her should not be consumed.

During this period, the research on the Errol Virus had been progressing swiftly after the antidote provided by Willa was acquired.

There were still close to two years before Susie’s flare-up.

The research center should be able to develop a detailed plan by then with so much time on their hands.

If they still could not do it, Julian would still have enough time to figure something out by then.

The next day, Julian did not add the liquid medicine to Susan's water anymore.

He kept all his concerns well hidden and said with a smile, “Susie, the private jet is ready. We can go home at any moment."

"Are we going back already?" Chesney Shaw cheered at once.

She did not find the place fun and she had missed her little friends.

Upon noticing her daughter's delight, Susan did not comment further. She only answered softly to express her consent.

Soon, Susan said, "However, I promised Mandy that I'd let her meet Luke. Also, I have to help care for the child, Lucas. If we're going back, we're taking Mandy and her son with us too."

"Of course. I’ll send a car to pick her up while we pack our luggage. Later on, we shall gather by the private jet," answered Julian without any attempt to quarrel about Lucas' issue anymore.

After all, Luke Jenkins had been the target of his jealousy a long, long time ago. After being jealous for a while, Julian did not mind anymore.

Besides, bringing up his love rival's child and letting the child take his surname felt rather like triumph now that he thought about it.

"Alright.” Susan agreed.

Chesney looked over at her and then at him. She suddenly said in astonishment," Daddy and mommy, you two made up already?"

"How can you tell?" Julian rubbed Chesney's little nose.

"Of course I can. Mommy hasn't opposed your wishes at all today, daddy.” Chessie's eyes were glowing brightly. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"How can you say that? Daddy is supposed t o be the head of the family. Mommy is certainly not allowed to oppose me.” Julian bragged but could not refrain from taking a cautious glance at Susan.

Susan was both furious and amused. She glared at him but was too lazy to respond t o his remark.

"Look, mommy admits it by staying silent," said Julian as he chuckled.

"Daddy, mommy is doing it because she is too lazy to argue with you. After all, everyone knows your status in the family." Chesney heaved a sigh. She did not show the slightest fear of hurting Julian's feelings.

Julian was rendered speechless for a moment. Then, he stretched out a hand and rubbed his huge palm all over Chessie's hair recklessly.

Chessie’s hair, which had been tied up neatly with great effort, turned into a chaotic mess at once.

"Mommy, look at daddy!" Chessie shouted i n rage instantly.

Julian was still extremely proud of himself, but Susan shot him a ferocious glare so he immediately picked up the rubber hair tie obediently and tied up the little princess’ hair once again.

A barely discernible, faint smile flashed past the corners of Susan's lips as she watched Julian bustle about in front of the dressing table.

A few hours later, the driver dropped off Mandy Ainsley and Lucas Jenkins at the airport to meet with the other three people.

Mandy appeared just as ghastly pale as before. She said softly, "Sorry for troubling you all."

She even bent over ever so slightly in a lowly manner.

Susan could not help feeling her heart wrench in pain.

Mandy had been an arrogant person in the past, yet she was forced to bend over and yield now.

Susan understood Mandy's way of thinking. She hoped that Susan would treat Lucas better in the future out of pity for her lowly attitude now.

"Luca, come here." Susan heaved a sigh in her heart. Then, she beckoned to Lucas to come over.
