Ch. 1031..1040

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1031

“What’s the point of being alive if I don’t have you with me, though? You’re kind and gentle, strong and loving. You spoil me and you would have given up your life for me if it meant you could save me. How am I supposed to live without you?”

Her voice was light as it resonated close to his ear, as though the air itself was whispering to him. Her words were like mist and running water—there was no way to hold onto them or for him to keep them.

“Mason, if you can’t be selfish, then you shouldn’t be saying these to me in the first place.”

“Okay. We’ll be together forever,” Mason promised as he quirked his lips into a feeble smile. He raised his brow slightly as he looked at her and a somber look passed over his face as he went on to say. “I was going to say that if we die, we would die together, because you’re mine, and mine alone. But I couldn’t bear to say this, so I asked you to leave me behind instead.”

Upon hearing that, Janet broke into a small smile. “I like it when you’re selfish, and of course I’ll be yours forever.”

When he heard that, Mason froze. Then, he took her face in his hands before he kissed her hungrily.

After what felt like a long moment, she broke away from the kiss and gazed at him while out of breath.

He was pale from the effort of staying awake and he was also weak. She could not help but say, “Why don’t you take a nap for fifteen minutes? I promise I’ll wake you up after.”

She cupped his hand in her hands, her face insistent.

“We can’t,” Janet countered. She bit her lip and forced herself to be firm. “If you won’t take a nap, then I won’t speak to you anymore.”

He blinked after hearing her threat. After a while, he twitched his lips in slight disgruntlement and quietly leaned his head on her shoulder.

It did not take long before she heard his steady breathing and by then, she knew that he had fallen asleep out of exhaustion.

She also knew that he would lose consciousness the moment he fell asleep—it was the only way for his body to preserve oxygen and strength.

Once he fainted, he could only regain consciousness through special procedures.

She never intended to wake him up in the first place. It was a lie that she would wake him up, but she did not regret her actions because she did not want to see him struggling.

Janet’s heart wrenched at the sight of the exhaustion that etched onto the hard planes of Mason’s face.

She was the one who caused him to suffer a lot, so she ought to be the one to bear the brunt of it all.

With that in mind, she rose and pulled him up before hoisting him over her back.

He was six feet two of pure muscle and she staggered slightly under his weight.

Having gone without protein for some time, she was drained of energy. Carrying a large man on her back while looking for an escape route was going to put a strain on her.

However, she would not throw in the towel.

With a deep breath, Janet began to march out from beneath the shade and into the hot sun.

Meanwhile, on the other side, it was 3:00PM and the sun was beating down mercilessly with the highest temperature of the day.

Lara and her crew had arrived at Ebony Town, but upon seeing what was left of it, her face fell. The glorious building no longer existed; it was now in ruins and rubble.

“What happened here?”

So, Ebony Town really was torn apart by the explosion, which means Janet and Peter really did perish in a fire. There might not even be bodies for us to find…

Just as she dwelled in the darkest of her thoughts, she heard a familiar voice calling out from behind her.

She turned and saw that Desire was making her way over with her crew in tow.

Upon seeing her, Desire rushed over and was out of breath when she asked, “Lara, where’s Janet? Did you find her?”

Lara paused, her expression grim. “Ebony Town has been blown up. She could well be buried under all this rubble.”

There was barely any air underneath the collapsed structure, let alone food or water.

Even if Janet and Peter survived the explosion, they would have suffocated to death by now.

Desire could not believe that a formidable person like Janet, a leader of the MX and of their generation, was gone just like that.

She could feel the fear and panic starting to set in with the reality of the situation. She glanced at Lara, her eyes brimming with tears as she asked in a choked voice, “Lara, what should I do?”

Lara bit on her lip and said firmly, “Go through the rubble.”

She knew that it was nearly impossible to sift through all the rubble and the ruins of Ebony Town, but she did not want to throw in the towel—even if there was the slightest glimmer of hope that Janet could have survived.

The MX could not continue without a leader—and they could not do so without Janet.

“Got it.” Desire nodded and turned to order her crew. “Everybody, listen up! I don’t care what it takes—I want all of you to find Janet before sunset!”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1032

The moment Desire finished speaking, she successfully lifted everyone’s spirit as they answered her at the same time. “Yes.”

It was the first time Lara and Desire experienced what it was like to race against time.

There were more than a hundred people at the scene and all of them were elite soldiers of the MX.

Not only that, Lara even called the professional search and rescue team from the MX on her way over to help look for Janet together.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe search and rescue team had rescue dogs with them, but even so, they ended up sniffing in some open spaces and failed to find Janet anywhere.

Two hours later, Lara and Desire’s team gathered together again.

“Lara, how is your side of the search?” Desire panted.

Lara furrowed her brows and shook her head, showing how upset she was. “We found nothing.”

The two hours of search yielded no results.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, they realized that if they still could not find Janet after she had gone missing for almost two days, there really was no hope of her being alive.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“Why don’t I ask everyone to go back and have a rest first? We can continue the search tonight.”

“No. The sun is about to set. Our chances of finding her will be even slimmer after that.”

With that, Desire became even more worried.

Just as Lara and Desire were at a loss, a loud roar of a plane was suddenly heard in the sky.

As they turned their heads at the same time toward the sound, they could see two familiar men showing up in front of them.

“It’s Lee.” Desire was stunned. “Who is the other person?”

Lara squinted her eyes to focus on the person. “He is a member of one of the three major families in Sandfort City—Young Master Henry, also known as Henry Moss.”

After looking at each other, Desire and Lara walked toward the two men.

“Lee, you are finally here.”

As soon as Desire saw Lee, she immediately felt assured, as if all her worries were gone at once.

At that moment, he was wearing a black trench coat as he pushed his glasses and looked at them nervously. “Where is Janet? Have you found her?”

“No.” Lara shook her head before turning toward Henry and asked. “Why are you here?”

Instantly, he raised his brows. “What’s the problem? My sister-in-law is missing, so why can’t I be here?”

When Lee first received the call from Desire, he was in a business meeting with Henry at Sanders Enterprise. The moment Henry heard that Janet’s life was in grave danger, he and Lee immediately set aside all their work and rushed over here.

However, Lara was still speechless as she rolled her eyes at him. “It’s good that you know to come here, but what about Mason? Doesn’t he want his wife back?”

It was already two days, but they still could not find him and he never answered his phone.

A man like him is not worthy of Janet’s love.

“Um…” Henry felt a little awkward because he had also tried to call Mason before arriving, but no one answered the phone. Janet might be dead, but isn’t he worried at all? Tsk! Love isn’t reliable after all. I thought that Mason loved Janet very much, but it obviously isn’t the case! If I knew how little he cares for her, I would have snatched her for myself long ago. If she is my wife, I will never put her in danger no matter what.

Upon looking at his face, Lara immediately thought of that sc*mbag—Mason.

The more she looked at him, the more annoyed she became, so she stared and growled, “All of you are the same.”

“You…” Henry was fuming as he was not willing to back down. “Don’t talk nonsense. How can you put me in the same category as Mason?”

“One tends to take on the color of those around them,” she sneered.

“You!”

“That’s enough!” Lee rubbed his brows irritably. “You all are going home if you continue to argue.”

As soon as he said those words, Lara and Henry immediately shut their mouths.

Then, Desire stepped forward with a gloomy expression. “Lee, do you have a plan?”

He nodded his head and pointed upward, telling everyone to lift their heads.

Desire was stunned at first. “A helicopter?”

“Are we going to use the helicopter’s infrared thermal image to find her?” Lara asked.

She had heard of that method before, but it was usually used by the air force.

Lee nodded his head. “Since today’s condition is extraordinary, we might not be able to find her.”

After all, the helicopter’s infrared thermal image was used to find people through body heat. Once the person was dead, there would be no body heat to detect. At that moment, it still was not confirmed whether Janet was dead or not, so he was not certain whether the helicopter would be able to locate her.

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1033

Everyone knew about the flaws of the plan, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would never abandon it.

“Lee, let’s act quickly,” Lara murmured.

Lee nodded his head. “Alright. Each of us will take a helicopter. Once we locate her, we’ll use the walkie-talkie to communicate.”

“Alright.”

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryAfter that, the four of them went into four different helicopters respectively.

In Lara’s heart, she secretly made a prayer. Nothing can happen to her. She can’t be dead; otherwise, the MX will lose a leader. I can’t lose her.

In her eyes, Janet was already more than a sister to her!

Inside the helicopter, Lara stared at the infrared display frame by frame as she was not willing to miss out on any details.

Then, the screen suddenly brightened and a siren was heard afterward.

Immediately, the helicopter pilot cheered, “Lara, there is a living body nearby.”

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe moment she heard the words ‘living body’, her eyes instantly lit up as she was stunned for a few seconds in disbelief. “Is it true? Is it Janet?”

“We can’t tell who it is. We need to take a closer look to know.” Suddenly, the pilot followed up on his words. “Lara, there are two living bodies.”

“Two bodies?”

Suddenly, Lara’s entire body trembled as her face was filled with disbelief. Could the other body be Prime Minister Welch? He isn’t dead yet? Why is he with Janet?

However, she did not put much thought into it as she yelled, “Fly over there quickly to take a look.”

“Yes.”

The pilot nodded his head before switching on the walkie-talkie.

At the same time, on the other side, the moon gradually rised as the sun set. Now, there was no light or sound around Janet, except for the steps she made on the ground, making the place eerily silent.

She had already been carrying Mason for almost three hours without any rest.

She was afraid that if she sat down, her body would not be able to stand up again.

What if I can’t stand up again? What will happen to him then? In her mind, she only had one thought. The two of us are getting out of here alive together. No one is leaving the other behind.

At that moment, her mind was blurry as she tried to bite her tongue to keep her consciousness awake. After she repeatedly tortured herself, blood started to flow from her lips…

After almost another half an hour of walking, she felt that she had lost control over her legs as she did not even have the strength to move her fingers.

As her entire body started to tremble, she knew that she definitely was unable to do it.

She had badly bitten the insides of her mouth, causing her to not feel anything at all.

She knew that she could not get up this time.

As Janet slowly lifted her eyes and stared at the man’s closed eyes, she suddenly revealed a smile with her pale lips. This is quite nice. Even though we won’t make it out alive, it’s quite nice that we get to die together.

Then, she slowly used all her remaining strength to hold the man’s hand tightly.

In the dark, she seemed to notice a tear in the corner of the man’s eye…

“She’s there… Yes. She’s in front. Quick! Follow me quickly!”

As Janet gradually lost consciousness, she suddenly heard a series of shouts behind her.

“Janet!”

“Miss Janet!”

“Janet!”

“Janet, is that you?”

The countless voices behind her slowly reached her ears.

She could hear that there were men and women around her and she was familiar with all the voices. There is Lara, Desire, Lee and the other one sounds like Henry…

She did not know whether she was hallucinating before death, but she still remained with her smile without uttering another word.

Immediately, Lara rushed up to her and shouted, “Janet! Janet, you need to wake up.”

She patted Janet’s face, but there was no response from her.

Then, Lee and Henry came over to her. When they clearly saw the two people on the ground, their pupils instantly shrank as they asked at the same time, “What happened?”

“Why is Mason here?”

“Young Master Mason?”

The moment their words came out, Desire and Lara were dumbfounded for a few seconds.

Then, they finally had a good look at the other man, who was on the ground.

Why is Mason here? Shouldn’t Janet be with Prime Minister Welch? What’s happening?

Without putting much thought into it, Lee waved his hand hurriedly. “Quick! Doctor, quickly come over here!”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1034

Upon hearing Lee’s call, the emergency doctor quickly ran toward them.

“Miss Janet, wake up. Can you hear me?”

He called Janet a few times, but she did not respond to him.

Therefore, the doctor hurriedly took out his apparatus and checked her heartbeat. Her heartbeat is normal.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryFinally, he felt a huge weight being lifted from his heart.

He let out a sigh. “Miss Jackson is probably overworked. I’ll give her some dextrose water for her to drink first. Then, we’ll just have to wait until she wakes up on her own.”

After listening to the doctor’s words, Lara and Desire quickly took out a bottle of dextrose water from the medical kit for Janet to drink.

However, Henry was getting anxious as he furrowed his brows with displeasure at the doctor. “Please take a look at that man!”

The doctor was dumbfounded at first before hurriedly nodding his head.

“Sir, wake up. Can you hear me?” He patted Mason’s face.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryHowever, he remained silent without any response.

Then, the doctor used his apparatus to check his heartbeat again, but this time, his expression was worrying. “He might be suffering from shock.”

The moment he said those words, the whole scene immediately fell into silence. Shock?

Henry was very worried. “Do you have any idea on how to treat it?”

“Don’t worry, Young Master Moss.” With that, the doctor took out a red needle from the medical kit. “I will perform a simple rescue on him first.”

The place was extremely out of the way from the hospital. Even if they took the helicopter, it would still take them a period of time to arrive there. Therefore, the only way was to perform a simple rescue on Mason.

The doctor calmly injected a dose of adrenaline into Mason’s body.

After all of the red-colored medicine was injected into his body, the person on the ground finally had a slight response.

At that moment, Mason furrowed his brows while his fingers twitched.

Henry immediately grabbed his hand and shouted nervously, “Young Master Mason, you need to wake up. Wake up now.”

As time passed, Mason suddenly tightened his brows and he revealed a painful expression before vomiting a mouthful of black blood.

That mouthful of blood was the last trace of neurotoxin left in his body.

After he vomited the last bit of neurotoxin, the man finally woke up naturally.

As he slowly opened his eyes, it suddenly felt painful, so he squinted.

Henry’s eyes immediately lit up as he shook the man. “Young Master Mason. Young Master Mason, can you hear me?”

While looking at his surroundings, Mason felt a little uneasy.

Just as he was about to address Henry, he suddenly thought of something.

The man panicked and shouted, “Where’s Jan? Where is she?”

Everyone at the scene was startled.

“She is beside you,” Henry answered him.

After that, Mason instantly sat up and turned to lock his eyes on Janet’s face.

His peach-like eyes had lost all their usual charm as it was now filled with pain and sorrow.

He reached out with his hands and snatched Janet from Lara and Desire.

The two of them did not react on time, so they were pushed to the ground by the man.

Mason was quick on his feet that every step of his was enough to cause a whirlwind.

“Jan.”

The man’s thin lips moved slightly and his charming face started to become twisted as he roared hysterically.

It was the first time everyone saw the most powerful man in Asia lose control of his elegant self.

Even Henry was retreating in fear. For the past 26 years, I have never seen him this devastated before.

Just as everyone was in shock, the man finally opened his mouth and growled, “What is her condition?”

Everyone knew that Mason meant Janet, but everyone was trembling at the moment. Lee, who was usually calm, could not withstand Mason’s rage as well.

The doctor’s legs trembled as he spoke with his shivering lips, “Miss Jackson is… fine.”

“What do you mean she is fine?” If she is fine, why isn’t she awake yet? I remember that this isn’t the place that I fell asleep in. If my guess is correct, she carried me all the way here. She carried a huge man all the way here with her small body, so how can she be fine?

Mason was no longer rational by that moment.

As the doctor backed away in fear, Henry went up and patted Mason’s shoulders. “The doctor said that she passed out due to the lack of body strength. She’ll be fine when she naturally wakes up.”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1035

Even though Desire and Lara were also worried about Janet, they couldn’t help but comfort Mason after seeing his huge reaction. “Janet’s heart is beating normally. She is probably too tired, so she’ll be fine after sleeping it off.”

Then, without uttering a word, Mason got up and carried the woman up from the ground.

“You just woke up so your body can’t handle it. I’ll do it.” Lee was afraid that Mason would accidentally let go of Janet due to his lack of strength, so he actively reached out to carry her.

However, Mason furrowed his brows and his pale lips moved slightly. “No.”

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe man couldn’t take no for an answer, not to mention Janet wasn’t that heavy anyway.

Now, he only wanted to be with her forever, even if it was only for a second.

Upon hearing the man’s cold voice, Lee could sense that the former’s tone wasn’t right, so he quickly withdrew his hands.

“Babe, let’s go back home. We’ll never set foot in Ebony Town ever again,” Mason mumbled while holding the woman in his arms.

Actually, what he wanted to say was that he would never let the same thing happen to her ever again.

On the plane, everyone remained silent and they didn’t even dare to catch their breaths.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryIn the end, Lara voiced out the confusion in her heart. “Mr. Lowry, why were you in Ebony Town?”

She was curious as to when he arrived at Ebony Town.

Was he already in the town when we tried to contact him?

Facing her questions, the man remained quiet, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

At the moment, he stared at the tiny face of the woman in his arms, not uttering a word.

He was so quiet that it was getting a little terrifying.

Then, Henry flicked his nose and said proudly, “I knew all along that Young Master Mason isn’t a sc*mbag. Look at him—isn’t he the first one to find Janet when she is in grave danger?”

Henry felt quite proud when he was saying those words.

However, Lara rolled her eyes at him without saying a word.

After that, Desire clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she growled, “Prime Minister Welch has crossed the line this time. Look what he has done to Janet.”

Upon hearing her words, Henry raised his brows and asked, “Prime Minister Welch? Why does Janet have something to do with him?”

“It’s a long story,” Lee muttered. “Back when the President gave a huge gift at Mason’s 26th birthday party, Janet promised to help him kill Prime Minister Welch to return the favor because she is an assassin. Prime Minister Welch is also in Ebony Town today, so if my guess is correct, she must have fought him before passing out.”

However, Henry didn’t hear the rest of his words as he only focused on the word ‘assassin’.

He blinked, his face full of disbelief. “What is her assassin’s codename?”

At this point, Lee felt that there was no need to keep it a secret any longer, so he murmured calmly, “Shadow 1.”

Upon hearing that, Henry almost fell off his chair.

Suddenly, his entire body stiffened and it was as if his blood froze in his veins, preventing him from reacting to the situation.

The merciless and cold-blooded assassin, Shadow 1, that everyone has been talking about is actually Janet. She is the assassin Shadow 1? At that moment, Henry felt that the world was operating in a mysterious way. A university freshman is actually an assassin in disguise? This is f*cking bonkers!

However, since she is the leader of the MX, it isn’t a surprise that she is also an assassin too.

Thankfully, this isn’t the first time I know her capabilities, otherwise, I would actually pass out in shock. However, Janet is such a strong woman, so how was that prime minister able to harm her like this?

At the moment, Henry felt upset for her as he roared, “Who is this Prime Minister Welch? I’ll ask someone else to finish him off!”

Lee pressed his hands against each other as he pursed thin lips. “He is the Prime Minister of the Hawke Kingdom,” he murmured lightly.

The Prime Minister of the Hawke Kingdom?

Upon hearing his words, Henry remained speechless for a while.

Then, he muttered, “So what? I’ll still kill him for hurting my sister-in-law. If I can’t kill him, I’ll ask Young Master Mason to find someone to kill him instead. How can a prime minister like him compare to the most powerful man in Asia?”

Henry boasted with his head held high.

Then, Lara clenched her fists and pursed her lips. “F*ck that Prime Minister Welch! I hope that he dies without any descendants!”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1036

Desire nodded and chimed in, “You’re right. Even though it’s Janet’s fault, he is still an evil man for hurting her so badly and escaping afterward. After she is awake, I’ll immediately bring an army to destroy his Hawke Kingdom.”

Upon hearing that, Henry blinked. “Do you know where the Hawke Kingdom is?”

“I’ll find it on the map!” she answered him angrily.

Then, Lara sneered gleefully and she gloated, “Ha! Maybe Prime Minister Welch died in a fire.” Otherwise, we would have seen him by now.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryDesire felt that it made sense. “F*ck! That would be great!”

However, Henry felt that there were still many loopholes in this matter and it was better to receive confirmation from a witness, so he turned to Mason and asked, “Young Master Mason, why aren’t you saying anything? Is Prime Minister Welch really dead?” Good riddance! I don’t even need to kill him myself!

Mason’s lips twitched for a moment as he didn’t know how to explain to them. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly muttered, “Prime Minister Welch isn’t dead.”

Henry, who wasn’t hopeful at first, was slightly surprised when he heard his answer. Instantly, everyone held their breaths and their eyes were filled with rage.

“Fck. How is this bstard this lucky? Even Janet couldn’t kill him.” Lara gritted her teeth.

“Damn him! So, did he really do this to Janet?” Desire rubbed her palms together.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe man did not deny it and he nodded. “Yes.”

Upon hearing his words, Lee grunted coldly. “I’ll go back and gather everyone in the organization straight away. Looks like we’ll just have to blow up his kingdom.”

Henry licked his lips, looking very menacing as well. “I’ll go with you.”

“I am Prime Minister Welch.”

Suddenly, Mason revealed a mind-blowing fact. Everyone’s eyes narrowed in an instant. Due to the shock, Henry’s phone fell from his hand right away and hit his foot. At the moment, everyone, including Lara, Desire, Lee and Henry, were all rendered speechless.

Is he joking? Mason is Prime Minister Welch of the Hawke Kingdom? He really is the prime minister of the Hawke Kingdom? The person who did this to Janet was him? Not to mention, the person who Janet planned to assassinate was him all along?

Everyone initially thought they were hallucinating, but then they started to think that Mason must have hit his head really hard; otherwise, he wouldn’t say something like this. What kind of a sick joke is this?

Henry’s face was the epitome of shock as he asked, “That can’t be true. Young Master Mason, did you hit your head really hard? Where’s the doctor? Tell him to come over here quickly.” He’s definitely under the influence of the adrenaline that the doctor just injected in him. We can’t let it affect his brain!

“I’m perfectly fine and I’m telling the truth. I am Prime Minister Welch and Jan wanted to assassinate me. No—to be precise, this is all a setup by the President. He is the one who made me and Jan kill each other. Also, she passed out because she lost all her strength after carrying me on her back.”

The moment his words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned again. They stiffened in unison and it was as if their blood froze in their veins. Just like that, everyone was dazed and had completely lost their ability to think.

Logically, Mason doesn’t need to lie to us at this point. Also, many things seem to point toward the fact that he really is Prime Minister Welch; otherwise, why did he appear in Ebony Town the same time as Prime Minister Welch’s disappearance?

With this in mind, they could confirm that Mason really was Prime Minister Welch. After the initial shock, the atmosphere had now become awkward. After all, they were all actually cursing Mason just now right in front of him, and they were even wishing for his death.

Henry gulped. If it weren’t for the strong tolerance of my heart, I would have passed out by now.

As for Lara and Desire, their attention was focused on the President after listening to Mason’s words. If what Mason says is true, does that mean today is all a trap set by the President? No wonder we couldn’t reach him before we came here. If this really is a trap set by him, then all of Janet’s loyalty for him will really be for nothing.

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1037

Lara gritted her teeth while hints of viciousness appeared in her eyes. “Well done, Corey.” I will make him regret belittling Janet.

“Desire, gather some men and launch an attack on the President Office after we alight from the plane,” Lara instructed.

Flames of anger burnt in Desire as she thought to herself, Janet has never been fooled to such an extent by anyone before. Gritting her teeth, she growled, “Alright.”

The man, who was embracing the girl, knitted his brows into a frown. Looking a little displeased, he coldly reminded, “Lower your voice; don’t disturb Jan. As for the matter that involves Corey, I will settle scores with him in person after Jan regains consciousness.”

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe man’s incredibly intimidating words instantly quietened them as soon as he said that.

It was a pin-drop silence in the plane.

“Mmm… Mason…” Suddenly, a woman’s groan was heard in the quiet cabin.

Mason immediately lowered his head and saw the woman moaning his name with a slight frown.

It made his heart melt. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheeks as he whispered, “Babe, I’m here. Everything’s fine. We are going back and nobody will harm you anymore. Be a good girl and listen to me—rest now.”

Upon hearing his familiar voice saying that they were going back, Janet smiled in contentment. She slowly shut her eyes and nestled peacefully in the man’s arms.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryMason’s lips curled, revealing an incomparably affectionate smile.

Mason entered the ward of the First Hospital in Markovia with medicines in his hands.

“How is she? Is she awake?”

Lara shook her head. “No; she is probably too exhausted.”

Upon hearing that, Mason sighed and placed the medicine on the table.

“Mr. Lowry, I am not sure if I should ask this…” Lara suddenly muttered.

The man remained silent for a moment before casting a glance at the woman on the bed and said, “Let’s talk outside.”

Janet needed to take a good rest and he did not want to disturb her.

After they left the ward, the man closed the door behind him.

Lara thought about it for a moment and finally decided to voice out all her doubts that she had been suppressing. “Mr. Lowry, if memory serves, not only explosives were found under Ebony Town, there were neurotoxins used by the military as well. Janet had taken the antidote of the neurotoxin before she reached there, which was why the poison did not have any effect on her. Could it be that you have taken the antidote in advance as well? Otherwise, why didn’t the poison affect your body?” Could it be that he didn’t inhale any neurotoxin when he was in Ebony Town? Or perhaps it was because he reached later?

With his lips pressed together, Mason seemed uncertain. “When I came of age, I consumed dozens of poisons, but I managed to survive through it. Perhaps I developed immunity against deadly poisons at that time. The mouthful of blood, which I spat out after I was injected with adrenaline, might be the residual toxin that remained in my body.”

These were all his guesses.

Lara was stunned to hear that. Dozens of kinds of deadly poison? To make matters worse, it happened when he had just come of age? At that moment, Lara couldn’t even find any words to describe her feelings.

All this while, she opined that this man before her was not a good match for Janet.

However, after hearing his explanation, her impression of him somehow improved a bit. It appears that there are still many things that I don’t know about Mason. No wonder Janet has fallen for this man. It is fortunate that this is a relationship between two comparably strong individuals. Otherwise, I would feel bad for Janet.

At that moment, they suddenly heard a phone ringing.

Mason reached into his pocket and took out his phone.

Upon seeing that, Lara, who knew that she shouldn’t take up his time for too long, let out an awkward smile. “Mr. Lowry, please excuse me.”

The man nodded. “Miss Lara, please take care of yourself.”

After Lara’s figure had disappeared down the hallway, Mason picked up the call, and the familiar deep voice of a man was instantly heard from the other end of the line.

“Young Master Mason, I am finally able to reach you!”

“What’s the matter?” Mason’s voice was low.

These days, no matter how many times Robert had tried to call him, either the call didn’t go through or nobody picked up his call, causing him to feel so flustered that he was close to tears.

Of course, the reason he made the call was because of Janet.

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1038

After all, he had failed to reach her ever since she had disappeared after the surgery training.

Therefore, he had no choice but to call Mason.

obert asked, his tone puzzled, “Miss Jackson had been absent from school these few days. Do you know what happened to her?”

“She is ill but she will be well in a few days. I will take her to the university myself after she recovers.”

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel Query“If that’s the case, please let her take a good rest. I will inform Professor Fontaine about this.”

“Yes; I’ll have to trouble you with that, then.”

With that, Mason hung up the call.

Meanwhile, the woman, who had been lying on the bed unconscious, dreamt about Mason lying in a pool of blood and gradually disappearing before her.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes. Looking at the snowy white ceiling, she seemed confused and lost.

“Mason… Mason!” Janet subconsciously cried out.

Janet’s lips parted. “Where’s Mason? Where is he? Did he return with me? How is the injury on his foot?”

Desire, who was shocked by Janet’s current state, immediately comforted her. “Calm down, Janet.”

“Where’s Mason? Where is he?” Janet, however, couldn’t calm down; she felt that she was shrouded in coldness and even her heart felt cold.

“Mr. Lowry has just gone out; I’ll ask him to come back now.” With that, Desire attempted to rise to her feet.

Without listening to her, Janet directly sat up but Desire pressed her shoulder. “Don’t move, Janet. I will go and get him.”

Janet was worried sick, wondering if the wound on Mason’s ankle had been treated.

So much had happened in these few days that until now, she couldn’t fully catch up with what was happening.

In her dreams, she actually saw Mason dying in front of her and it was this same dream that woke her up. The dream seemed so real that Janet couldn’t help but to feel worried.

At that moment, Desire had reached the door and was about to open it, but someone beat her to it.

A low, deep voice was heard coming from the door. “Babe.”

As soon as Mason entered the ward, he immediately saw Janet, who was about to sit up on the bed. It made him flustered, so he quickly called out to her.

Janet was stunned for a few seconds. Upon seeing the familiar handsome face, she didn’t even bother to put on her shoes before throwing herself at him.

Upon seeing the scene, Desire rubbed her nose and quickly left the ward.

It might have been because the man was too worried for Janet that traces of fatigue actually appeared on his handsome face.

The corner of Janet’s lips curved upward as she rubbed the spot between his brows and murmured, “Mason, I miss you.”

The man was stunned. Happiness, shock, and joy—all the feelings blended together and welled up inside him.

At that moment, his eyes became slightly red.

Drip. A drop of warm liquid fell on the back of Janet’s hand, making her squint as her lips parted. “You’re crying, Mason…”

This was the first time he shed genuine tears in front of her.

At that instant, the panicked Janet comforted him while cupping his face, “Mason, don’t worry; I’m fine.”

The man’s calloused palm gently caressed her tender cheeks as he let out a chuckle. “I didn’t cry. You got it wrong.” Why would I cry? I am beyond elated.

“Mason, how is the injury on your foot?” Something seemed to suddenly cross her mind, so she intended to bend down to check the injury on his foot.

“Jan, I’m fine. It has been treated.” Then, he suddenly carried her in his arms.

Janet subconsciously hooked her arms around his neck and gasped. “What are you doing?”

Without replying, the man had one arm wrapped around her waist while he announced in a strong and overbearing manner, “Punishing you.”

His words shocked her. Her lips quirked up and she was amused by his reply. “What did I do wrong? Is it because I didn’t tell you that Shadow 1 is one of my identities? Mason, it wasn’t my intention to hide my identity as Shadow 1 from you. It’s because there is an unspoken rule in the world of assassins—I receive instructions from others, so I must never reveal my identity to anyone.”

“I saw the map of the Hawke Kingdom in your basement, so I thought that you were also investigating him… I had no idea that you are Prime Minister Welch himself. If I had known, I wouldn’t have laid my hands on you for sure. I definitely wouldn’t.”

This was undoubtedly the longest string of heartfelt words she had ever said to him in one go.

The thoughts and feelings that she had been bottling up inside her for a few days came pouring out at this instant.

Nevertheless, the man seemed unfazed by her words.

I think that he is really mad. He has never been mad at me before…

After a while, she could not bear it any longer so she asked, “Or is it perhaps you resent me for attempting to assassinate you? If you really hate me for that, I will apologi—”

Before the word ‘apologize’ completely left her mouth, her lips were sealed by the man’s thin ones.

This time, instead of avoiding him, she took the initiative to lick his lips like a kitten.

Jan has never been so meek yet proactive like today. Aroused, Mason directly cupped the back of her head and returned her with an aggressive yet gentle French kiss.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryThe unique hormones and scent of grass on him entered Janet’s nose, entrancing her and causing her to lose her head over him. She hung onto him, all her strength gone.

The wet yet sweet French kiss ended with her panting.

Instead of letting her go, Mason took things further by questioning her coldly, “What else did you do wrong? Spill it!”

Upon hearing that, Janet blinked, a confused look on her face.

What else did I do wrong? With her eyes and head lowered, she shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Upon seeing her miserable and sorry look, the smile that he had been stifling finally broke out. He reached out his hand and pinched her nose while he asked in displeasure, “Why did you lie to me?”

Even with the knowledge that waking him up would require a special method after he had fallen asleep, she still talked him into falling asleep.

The reason he was mad was not because of the things she had said earlier. Instead, it was the fact that she had carried him all the way with her petite body—that enraged him.

He hated her stubbornness, as well as her selflessness; in contrast, he wouldn’t hate her if she had left him behind at that time.

Janet, who could roughly guess what he meant, reached out and cupped his face. “I’ve told you this before—my life would be meaningless without you.”

Stunned, he was so touched by her words that he was close to tears.

He pressed his lips together and after a moment, he finally collected himself. “Babe, I swear you won’t have to go through that again.”

Mason initially intended to resolve the matter by himself but unexpectedly, he still dragged her into it in the end.

At night, Janet curled up and slept on the bed in the ward.

The man, who had just exited the bathroom after taking a shower, lifted the blanket and snuggled under it.

His movements woke her up, but she hugged the man’s waist and continued sleeping.

After a moment, she felt warm all over, which made her feel that something was off.

She opened her eyes, only to see that the single bed, which had been small in the first place, was completely occupied by someone—her whole body almost lay on top of him.

Yet, the man’s embrace was so warm and his heartbeat felt so real that she didn’t want to push him away. Instead, she wrapped both her arms around him tightly.

“Mason, what are your plans on dealing with Corey?” Janet suddenly asked.

Upon hearing the name ‘Corey’, anger welled up in Mason’s chest, causing his breathing to quicken as he slowly clenched his fists. “Babe, don’t you worry. Be a good girl and leave this to me.”

She kept quiet for a few seconds before confiding in him, “Mason, I don’t want you to interfere in this matter. I wish to resolve the feud between me and him on my own.”

Upon hearing that, Mason knitted his brows. “Babe, listen to me. He is not someone who is easy to deal with. An innocent person like you is no match for him.”

Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1040

By the end of it all, Mason wasn’t so much worried about her ability to go against Corey as he was about the risks she was taking.

After all, it was his duty as a man to pave the way for her. She shouldn’t have to bother herself with something so trivial.

“I’m serious, Mason. Don’t get yourself tangled up in this,” Janet urged once more, then paused before adding, “You have nothing to worry about. He has no real authority and I have everything it takes to make sure he dies in Markovia.”

Upon hearing this, Mason reached out and gently brushed the tip of her nose, then pleaded, “I really can’t afford to take this gamble, Babe.”

As he said this, the rims of his eyes grew red once more. There was a desperate and bloodthirsty look in his eyes that made Janet’s heart squeeze.

She reached up and caressed his knitted brows, her voice placating as she suggested, “How about we go after him together after I’ve recovered?”

The man considered this and with red eyes, he decided to compromise. “Alright.”

Meanwhile, in the President’s conference room in Markovia, Corey had a satisfied grin on his face as he addressed the audience before him. “I’m sure all of you have heard about what happened to J’Adore. Now, the question is, where will your loyalty lie after this?”

Gathered before him were the elders who led other Markovian organizations. While they had always been loyal to the MX, Corey was sure that news of J’Adore’s death would be the turning point for these elders. It was only a matter of time before they switched sides and swore loyalty to him.

Join Telegram Group For Fast update and Novel QueryAfter that, he would slowly but surely empty the MX of all its forces.

Presently, the leaders exchanged looks of disbelief before asking, “Mr. President, have you seen J’Adore’s corpse?”

It went without saying that they were doubtful of Corey’s claims. If J’Adore had managed to survive and return to discover that they had betrayed her as well as the MX, they would suffer her wrath. She would neither spare them nor their families.

However, Corey merely gave a low chuckle as he answered, “Ebony Town was blown up, so I don’t think it’s an easy task to get a glimpse of her body. Nonetheless, I’ve sent my men to search the site. If all goes well, we might see her ashes by today.”

Not just her ashes, but Peter Welch’s as well! Corey thought with dark glee.

“Well…” The leaders once again exchanged hesitant looks among themselves, and one of them finally said, “If you can show us evidence of her death, Mr. President, then you will have my unwavering loyalty.”

It didn’t take long for a second person to make the same pronouncement and slowly, the rest of them changed their minds. Eventually, all the leaders had sworn their loyalty to Corey.

They needed someone powerful to lead them and now that the most formidable person they knew had perished in a tragic accident, they had to swear their allegiance to Corey. It was the only way for them to survive.

Corey, on the other hand, couldn’t say that he had not expected such results, but he was surprised all the same.

He thought that these elders would remain loyal to J’Adore even in her death, but it turned out that their loyalty was a fickle thing. He had expected this, though. After all, humans were nothing if not selfish and at the end of the day, it was only normal for them to betray the MX.

“In that case, I hope to see some proof of your allegiance tomorrow.”

“Yes, Mr. President,” everyone answered in unison.

Corey smiled. “Well then, that concludes our meeting for today.”

As soon as they heard this, the elders left the conference room.

Now that J’Adore and Prime Minister Welch were dead, Corey no longer required Melissa’s services to come up with a virus that was lethal.

With that in mind, he was about to pull out his phone to call Melissa and have her stop with the experiments when the door to the conference room burst open. He glanced over and saw that one of his subordinates was rushing toward him with what seemed like panic on his face.

Frowning, Corey placed his phone aside without making the call as he demanded unhappily, “Why are you so flustered? Is there something you want to tell me?”

But as he thought about it, he realized that there was only one thing that could make the man before him look so flustered—he must have news of Prime Minister Welch’s and J’Adore’s death.

Corey’s expression turned to one of anticipation and he asked with barely-suppressed glee, “Out with it—did you find J’Adore and Prime Minister Welch’s remains?”

However, his subordinate merely shook his head and he was out of breath when he answered, “Bad news, Mr. President—we have not found the remains of either one of them.”

Corey froze at this. No remains? Does that mean they’re not dead? But that’s not possible—they must have been blown up into ashes! he thought as he tried to comfort himself.

“It doesn’t matter. It probably means they’ve been blown up into ashes.”
