Chapter 427

The chill in Megan's heart ran bone—deep.

The Leopold she knew was capable of ruthless deeds.

She needed to replace a way to sway his affections from Aurelia and onto her. That was the only long—term solution

“Leopold, I'll make you see that I am the perfect wife for you.”

Leopold didn’t want to spare her a second glance. “I'll have a meeting soon. You can leave if there'snothing important.”

Megan bit her lip. “This month, I... I'm not pregnant.”

She had taken a pregnancy test, and it was negative.

A cold and sinister glint flashed in Leopold's eyes. “You think you can bear my child that easily?”Megan threatened, “Only when I have a child can I rest assured and give you the antibiotics.”Leopold scoffed, a chilling aura radiating from him. “You should be well aware of something. IfAurelia dies, you won't live another day.”

A spasmodic twitch appeared at the corner of Megan's mouth. “Then how can I conceive yourchild?”

She needed a child for protection. Even if the child was a bastard, he would be legitimized sooner orlater.

Leopold coldly stared at her, each word falling like a hammer. “You'll have the right only whenAurelia receives the sixth injection of antibiotics. Or you can give me the first four antibiotics to earnthat right in advance.”

Without hesitation, Megan chose the latter. After all, without the sixth antibiotic, Aurelia would stilldie.

A crafty smile tugged at the corners of Leopold's mouth. He had anticipated Megan. choosing thelatter.

With the four antibiotics, Aurelia would be safe for the following four months.

needed a huge amount of bacteriophages, and these bacteriophages required a specificenvironment that replicated the Amazon rainforest’s climate. It was something that took

time.

With efforts from both ends, they hoped for success.

At present, Aurelia was the only variable he couldnt control.

After Megan had left, he instructed Yuna to carry out a task.

After work, Aurelia got into the car.

Sitting next to her, her assistant, Yuna, was busy typing on her phone, occasionally sighing.Curious, Aurelia asked, “What are you doing?”

Yuna chuckled. “I'm writing a novel. Don’t worry. I do it in my leisure time. It doesn't interfere withwork.”

Aurelia smiled. “That's alright. I support your writing. Who knows? Your novel might become a hit.”Yuna scratched her head. “I'm facing a bit of a block now. I'm not sure how to develop the plot.”Aurelia, who loved reading novels in her free time, said, “Tell me about it. Maybe I can help analyzeand give you some inspiration.”

Yuna put down her phone and began to chat with her, “It's a fantasy novel. The female lead is a littleflower fairy, and the male lead is a celestial being. He's usually strict with her but loves her deeply.The antagonist is a water snake spirit who has always loved the male lead.”

After a pause, she continued, “The antagonist poisons the female lead and threatens the male leadthat she'll only give the antidote if he marries her. Otherwise, the female lead's spirit will bedestroyed. The male lead is forced to agree to save his love. The female lead, unaware of the truth,feels betrayed by the male lead and develops a grudge.”

Aurelia took out two bottles of juice, handing one to her. “So, it's a tragic story?”

“No, it's a love story with a bit of tragedy in the middle.” Yuna scratched her short brown hair. “Iplan to let the female lead discover the truth, but I don't know how to arrange the plots afterward.Aurelia, what would you do after learning the truth if you were the female

lead?”
