Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1141
Face Off
Seeing Mason’s reaction, Sean thought he would want to go personally. However, just as Sean was about to speak up, Mason sat up from the bed and walked toward the washroom expressionlessly. At the same time, he mumbled coldly, “That’s not necessary.”
“Alright.”
After closing the washroom door, Mason couldn’t hold his feelings inside anymore as he looked at himself in the mirror with his red-rimmed eyes. He had already used up all his courage to make the rejection just now.
Frankly, he really wanted to go, but at the same time, he didn’t wish to see her self-sufficient expression. He was exhausted after being let down again and again. He had encountered too much disappointment when it came to Janet, and he wasn’t sure if he could still continue this relationship with her just like before.
After quite some time, Mason walked out of the washroom, took up his phone from the bed and said, “Pick me up 10 minutes later and summon along Black Python and the others.”
…
Meanwhile, at Fuller Corporation, the receptionist opened the president’s office’s door with a shocked look and said, “President Fuller, there’s a Miss Jackson out there asking to see you. Should I—”
Before the receptionist could finish her sentence, Sheldon waved his hand and said, “Let her in.” What’s coming will come. There’s no use avoiding it.
“Conveying the message isn’t necessary.” Just then, a cold, indifferent female voice emerged from the outside.
Janet kicked open the office door and strutted in with a few men following behind her.
Sheldon’s pupils dilated the moment he saw Janet. Nevertheless, he concealed his astonishment and agitation perfectly and said courteously, “Please take a seat.”
With her hands in her pockets, Janet walked straight up to the table, stared at Sheldon and said coldly, “I’m not here to have a chat with you!”
Then, her voice became even lower and bone-chilling. “Tell me—where on earth is Corey?”
Sheldon lifted his head to meet Janet’s eyes. “Please take a seat first, Miss Jackson.”
This time around, Janet did not reject him, but walked straight to the couch and sat down with her legs crossed. She then asked in a haughty look, “Can you tell me now?”
Sheldon took a deep breath and explained, “Miss Jackson, we’re really not certain about the exact location of Corey. In the past, Melissa was the one that liaised with him, so I’ve never met him once.”
Janet raised her brows and turned her head lazily toward Sheldon. “Is it because you’re afraid to get into trouble? Do you really fear Corey that much?”
Initially, only Sheldon and Melissa knew Corey’s whereabouts. Now that Melissa had died and Corey’s location was exposed, it must naturally be Sheldon who had exposed it. As such, Sheldon couldn’t possibly pretend to be clueless in order to avoid trouble. However, all the capital used to develop the virus was contributed by Fuller Corporation, so of course, Sheldon had the obligation to answer Janet regarding Corey’s location.
Sheldon denied, “No. I wish to stop him from using the virus more than anyone else, but I really don’t know where he is! Why are you so bothered by this matter, Miss Jackson?”
Hearing his answer, Janet narrowed her eyes as the coldness on her face became more intense. She answered frigidly, “Do you know why Corey would give up his life as a president in Markovia and flee to Yobril? It’s because he has offended me. If my guess is right, Corey had Melissa develop this virus so that he can use it against me.”
Sheldon was astonished to hear that. “Use it against you?”
“That’s right. Otherwise, why would he come all the way to this place of yours? Do you really think he has nothing better to do?”
Janet had already tried her best to control her emotions but still failed to do it adequately. There were many times she actually wanted to point a gun at Sheldon’s head.
At this moment, a sweet yet raspy female voice came forth from outside the office. “Janet Jackson, who are you to yell at my brother? Who do you think you are to be this fierce?”
It was Hazel, who initially came over to understand the story of Melissa’s death. However, little did she expect she’d bump into Janet here.
At that moment, Janet even had one of her feet placed on Sheldon’s table.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1142
The Time Has Finally Come
How can she be this arrogant? So what if she’s Janet Jackson? Can’t she talk nicely?
“Hazel, please go out first.” Sheldon frowned and wore a resigned expression.
“Sheldon, she’s already being so rude toward you. Why do you still have to help her?” Hazel just couldn’t understand why Sheldon was still into Janet when Janet was already engaged.
The gloominess in Janet’s eyes was appalling. She looked coldly toward the girl at the office entrance and ordered, “Get lost!”
“I refuse to. Come at me if you’re unhappy about anything. Why do you have to be so fierce toward my brother?”
As soon as Hazel was done talking, she stood stiffly at the spot all of a sudden before she could even walk into the room.
“Miss Jackson!”
A deep male voice suddenly emerged. Sheldon felt his blood freeze when he saw Janet pointing a gun at Hazel’s head. The next second, there was a huge bang, and the glass door of the office shattered instantly.
This shot did not only emphasize Janet’s anger but also her patience, which was coming to an end. Her tolerance had reached its limit and no one could stop her anymore!
Nevertheless, this shot had alarmed the security system in Fuller Corporation at the same time. A dozen men in uniform barged in and surrounded Janet and her companions, signaling for Janet to put the gun down.
Hazel was stunned for quite a while before regaining her composure. Janet almost fired the gun at me just now! If I had moved a little, the bullet could have flown through my face!
Hazel stood rooted to the ground and stared at Janet in a daze. Sheldon was shocked too as he didn’t expect Janet to be so enraged. He felt like if he continued refusing to reveal Corey’s location, Janet would point the gun at him next. That was the vehemence Janet possessed! And this was also the reason he feared Janet!
Janet retracted the gun and blew the black muzzle which was burning hot. Ferocity flashed through her eyes as she hissed, “I’m asking you to get lost!”
For a moment, there was pin-drop silence in the office. Sheldon cast a glance at the security guards and said, “It’s okay. You guys can be dismissed.” After that, he looked at Hazel and said, “You may leave too, Hazel.”
At that moment, no one dared to say anything more, including Hazel. She nodded and excused herself obediently, worrying that Janet would point the gun at her again.
Meanwhile, down in the basement in Yobril.
“What did you just say?” Corey looked at the man in black in shock. “Janet has come to Yobril?”
“Yes, and she’s now at Fuller Corporation. I’m afraid…”
Janet must have gone to Fuller Corporation to probe into my whereabouts. Although Sheldon might not be aware of my whereabouts yet, Yobril is his domain and his men are all around this area, so it won’t be too hard for him to find me here. The time has finally come––even though I’ve not expected this day to come so soon!
Corey narrowed his eyes and curled his lips coldly. “Get ready. She’ll arrive soon.”
The man in black nodded as murderous intent flashed through his eyes. Thereafter, he retreated.
Corey grabbed a cup and had a sip of water. Then, he looked at himself in the mirror and was ready to face the woman whom he hated the most.
…
On the other hand, the night had arrived so Janet and her companions had started taking action. Her perfect figure was concealed in the dark as she observed the surroundings cautiously. Her eyes seemed to be completely expressionless.
They were currently near an abandoned building somewhere in Yobril. The building in front of them seemed to be burnt before as the walls were black as a result of being engulfed by flames––even the glass windows were all shattered.
This place was so remote and gloomy that no one would come during the day, let alone at night. Indeed, this could be the perfect hiding spot.
Sheldon utilized his power as a council member and ran a thorough investigation within Yobril. He had retrieved all surveillance camera footage and finally found this place after analyzing the results together with the location where Melissa died.
Janet only needed 2 hours, and the timing was perfect for her as she would be able to return to Sandfort City within 24 hours.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1143
Didn’t Mason Come?
“Lee, lead the others outside and wait. Lara, Desire and I will go in first and I’ll inform you immediately if there’s anything,” Janet turned around and commanded Lee. She was worried that Corey would be alarmed if too many of them went in.
Both Lara and Desire were women, so their footsteps would be lighter and would therefore not be discovered easily.
“Alright. Be safe.” With that, Lee led the group of men and retreated.
After exchanging glances among themselves, Janet, Lara and Desire walked into the basement.
“Who is it?” Suddenly, a deep, fierce male voice emerged from the side.
“You motherf*cker!” Janet turned around and directly grabbed the man’s throat. Upon exerting some force, the man collapsed onto the ground.
However, this commotion had made the people inside percept that invaders were here. Within the next second, countless bullets flew toward Janet and the others from the entrance. Nevertheless, the three women were able to handle the situation easily.
Janet pointed the gun at the man at the entrance and fired the gun resolutely. With that, the man collapsed onto the ground. She had killed him with one shot.
Right after, the alarm in the basement was triggered.
“The targets are moving so swiftly that we aren’t able to locate them. The gunmen hiding at the entrance are all knocked out. The targets are approaching the inside. The targets…” The announcement from the speaker on the wall was chaotic.
Corey’s face darkened as he stood at his door, preparing to receive the arrival of Janet. The targets are approaching the inside? Did Janet and Mason manage to barge in directly? They’re making things easier for me by showing up on their own!
With his lips curled, Corey clapped his hands and said, “Bring her here.”
Thereupon, Emily followed behind the man in black and walked up to Corey. “Mr. Hills, I heard Janet is coming. Is that true?” she sneered.
Corey laughed. “Of course. Make sure you hide well behind me. If you end up getting abducted, I’ll lose the only bargaining chip to threaten Janet.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Hills. I wish for Janet to die more than anyone else.”
With that, both Emily and Corey burst into laughter at the same time.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came forth from the front. Naturally, Corey knew who the visitor was.
“You’re finally here, Janet.” A cold, gloomy male voice emerged.
Janet, Lara and Desire walked nearer to the inside, and the former curled her lips when she saw Corey.
“It has been a while, Corey,” Janet said while keeping her gun away.
How Emily wished to chop Janet’s arms off the moment she saw her, but Corey urged her to suppress her impulse.
Emily gritted her teeth and sneered, “It has indeed been a while, Janet!”
It had only been a few days, yet it felt like each day was as long as a year. And because of that, Emily’s desire to kill Janet augmented day by day.
Suddenly, Corey stopped laughing and said grimly, “This place is too small, Janet. Let’s talk outside.”
“Corey, you know I’m not here for small talks.”
A wicked smile appeared on Corey’s face again as he waved the remote control in his hand. “Like I said: this place is too small—I’m afraid if you say something that upsets me, I’ll accidentally press the button. ”
Janet knew the remote control he was mentioned was to control some kind of bomb. True enough, that was Corey’s favorite tactic. Crossing her arms, Janet let out a sneer and looked at Corey lazily, “Sure, let’s go out and talk then!” Lee and the others have already surrounded this building, so it’s impossible for him to escape!
And so, the group of people moved from the basement to the ground floor. Their expressions were hidden in the dark night, and it seemed as if everyone was rather calm.
Corey looked around the area and was surprised. “Didn’t Mason come?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1144
The Stench of the Dead
Janet smiled disdainfully before saying, “Are you hoping that he’ll come, Mr. Hills?”
“No.” At this moment, Corey clapped before continuing, “It’s a pity that he’ll not be able to witness such an event.”
After Corey clapped a few times, a bunch of people came from the basement. The people seemed to be soulless in their eyes and the way they walked was rather robotic. It was also hard to miss that some from the crowd had different degrees of ulcerations on parts of their bodies.
The moment she saw these people, she reacted immediately. Her fists were clenched tight as she stared coldly into Corey’s eyes.
Seeing that she finally showed a reaction, he began to laugh hysterically. “J’Adore, don’t you think it’s disgusting? Despite being the one who created the human virus, Melissa still couldn’t help but throw up at the sight of the infected people. The stench isn’t that bad here because of the vast space. Little did you know, the underground room was filled with the stench previously––the stench of the dead.”
Both Desire and Lara had killed before and had witnessed situations more bloody and gory than this. However, the dead bodies that they came across were fresh, unlike these controlled men that they were currently looking at. Besides that, they smelled like dead bodies. Frankly, they were very close to puking too.
Turning his attention back to Janet, Corey deepened his smirk. “J’Adore, Desire and Lara can’t take it anymore. You can drop the act already.”
Even after he said that, Janet continued to stare at him without budging. After maintaining eye contact for a while, she disdainfully commented, “Act? You really don’t know me well enough.”
Her unwavering eyes were so dark that they blended into the night. “Corey, do you know about the unmarked common graves? I used to train in that area. With less than a few hundred square meters, there were more than a hundred people. We spent ten days there. In the end, I was the only one left. Ten days was all it took for a freshly dead body to turn into one infested with maggots. However, I don’t think that’s scary. On the contrary, I think that’s a good thing because I am alive. If they were not lying on the ground back then, it would’ve been me instead. Therefore, I don’t fear that I may become your human experiment subject one day.”
After she said that, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Even Desire and Lara gave each other a look in shock. Though they have heard about Janet’s past after they joined the MX, it was still very heartfelt and impactful to hear it from herself. Her capabilities explained why she could compete with men to be at the top of the chain of power and influence as a woman.
Squinting her eyes for a brief moment, Emily threw Janet a disregarding look. “What’s the use of telling us that? In the end, you’re just a loser who’ll lose to me.” Janet came here to die today! I should just fulfill her wish!
“J’Adore, I’ve underestimated you.” At this moment, a cold and deep man’s voice could be heard coming from the front.
At once, Janet’s gaze moved from the bunch of men who were being controlled to Corey, who now seemed rather agitated. She scoffed, “Don’t flatter yourself too much then.”
Corey’s expression turned even sourer when he heard her insult. Pursing his lips, he said, “J’Adore, aren’t you here for the antidote today? As long as you pledge your allegiance to me, not only will I hand you the antidote, I can even give you half of the virus.”
Hearing that, she could not help but smile coldly. “You’re wrong. I’m not here for your antidote today, but for the virus. I’m here to have all of them destroyed.” What was the use of just an antidote? To end it, all the viruses had to be eliminated.
Corey mimicked her cold smile before he replied, “Well, I’m afraid that I’m going to disappoint you. There’s only one strain of the virus left. The others had already been used on the human subjects. In the next 48 hours, I will admit defeat if I lose. However, if you lose, I get to personally inject the virus into your system––oh, scratch that. If you are detained here, Mason will come to rescue you. I will inject the virus into his body instead. You should know that the virus was designed specially for his physique. Thus, the effects must be even stronger when used on him.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1145
The Fight
“J’Adore, you always seem so tough and cold. I wonder how you’ll look like when you lose control.”
Janet remained expressionless when she heard the first half of what he said. However, her fists tightened the moment he brought up Mason. At once, she tried to maintain her calm and said coldly, “Don’t worry about that. He won’t come.”
However, he didn’t seem to believe what she said. There was a hint of a smile on his lips as he reached out his hand to her in persuasion. “J’Adore, come.”
At this moment, Desire and Lara were focused on the man’s every movement, afraid that he’d pull out a gun at any moment.
Janet’s face turned cold. “Desire, Lara, you two can head out first. Without my orders, nobody is allowed to come here.”
Similarly, Corey waved the men by his side off like she did and coldly said, “J’Adore is right. Since it’s something between us, we shall settle it ourselves! J’Adore, I will have you begging on your knees!”
After they gave their orders, everyone started to retreat. It seemed that they were confident in their leaders.
At this moment, Janet refuted, “We don’t know who’ll be the one begging in the end yet.”
With a squint, Corey said, “No worries. No matter what, it will only end with you begging me on the ground.”
Without further ordeal, the two began to fight. As men had greater strength by nature, the harm caused would be bigger if the attacks were executed skillfully and efficiently.
Squinting his eyes, Corey lifted his leg in preparation to land it hard on her abdomen.
Meanwhile, Emily’s gaze was fixated on the two who were fighting. She then yelled with all her might. “Janet Jackson, you b*tch! Finally, someone’s putting you in your place! Hahahahaha!”
Before Emily’s hysterical laughing came to a stop, Janet successfully dodged Corey’s attacks easily. Not only that, she had dodged every single attack he threw her way without much of an effort.
“J’Adore, your skills are indeed solid. Even after falling in love, your fighting skills are still pretty good.” To be honest, he was surprised that her skills were so great. It seemed that she was not known as the lethal Shadow 1 for nothing. With that, his face turned darker.
Looking at his troubled expression, she smirked. “Corey, no matter what you say, I draw with Peter Welch in fighting skills. Since you’re not even as good as him, what makes you think you can beat me?”
At this moment, Corey’s handsome face seemed scarily ferocious. He then growled, “J’Adore, it’s only because of you that I’m the puppet president. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be in Yobril. Now, you’re telling me all these disgusting things.”
“No! You’re so wrong!” Janet said as she continued to dodge his attacks. “If it wasn’t for me, Markovia wouldn’t be what it is today. The weak shall perish in this era! Why do you think you can be the president of Markovia for so many years?” She then continued, “It’s because even I don’t want to be the f*cking president.”
Her words seemed to have pinched at his weak spot. As he slowly climbed up from the ground, he took out a bottle kept by his waist before splashing its content forward. It only took a split second for her to register what it was.
Just as she was busy avoiding it, he suddenly rushed toward her like he was crazy.
“Come out now!”
On cue, a bunch of men rushed out immediately and surrounded Janet. Standing in the middle, she glanced past the people coldly. She heard that Corey had an army of professional killers. These men in black must be them.
“Take her down.”
At once, everyone pulled out guns and knives as they looked at Janet, their eyes void of any warmth. However, there wasn’t a trace of fear on her face.
“J’Adore, do you prefer to surrender on your own or do I have to get them to take you down?” His tone sounded like he was mocking her.
At this moment, she still didn’t show any expression. All she offered was a brief smile before saying, “You think that they can catch me?”
Corey then pulled out the handgun tucked by his waist and aimed it at her. “How about we take a guess? Let’s see who’s faster: you, or my bullet?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1146
More Disgusting Than Zombies
Looking at the scene, Emily wanted to scream out loud. She was so excited that she could tear up. Janet was finally going to die!
Squinting her eyes slightly, she slowly walked to Corey’s side before saying, “Mr. Hills, can you hand me the gun so that I can finish her myself?”
Hearing that, he glanced at Emily before his gaze swept past her hand and smiled as he asked, “Can you even hold a gun?”
At once, her body froze. It felt like blood had stopped flowing within her. Looking at Janet with a ferocious look, Emily chanted in her head that it was all because of her.
Then, he gave Emily a pat on her shoulder to console her. “Don’t worry, I’ll chop off her hands for you.”
Although Emily couldn’t kill Janet with her own hands, she was still content with the proposal. After all, Janet would become like herself if she were to lose her hands. Without her hands, Janet wouldn’t be able to draw, write, play the piano, or hold a gun. Not only that, she wouldn’t be fit to be the leader of MX nor would she be fit to be part of the Lowry Family. Emily couldn’t suppress her laugh at that thought.
At this moment, a smirk crept up Janet’s lips as she looked at the two standing before her. With a light chuckle, she said, “Can you two stop getting ahead of yourselves? Your imagination is running wild.”
Suddenly…
A group of people––no, up to a thousand people had surrounded them layer by layer. What came next was the sound of machine guns firing from all directions. The sneak attack was so sudden that it caught everyone off guard.
Corey had to roll on the ground several times to dodge the bullets. It didn’t take long before those who had Janet surrounded were now lying on the ground without budging.
At this moment, Lee had led some armed men to approach her. “Janet, how are you?”
Shaking her head, Janet asked, “How are things inside?”
“I found a syringe in Corey’s office. If my guess is correct, it must be the last bottle of virus that he mentioned. It has already been destroyed. Not only that, those infected men in the cages had also been incinerated.”
Impressed, Janet raised her brow. “Good job!”
“You came out with me to let Lee go in?” A low and cold man’s voice suddenly spoke up.
Glancing at Corey, she asked, “You just found out?”
“Y-You tricked me!” He spat through gritted teeth.
Looking at the ferocious-looking man, she scoffed, “Why will I be entertaining you here otherwise?”
“J’Adore!” He was truly mad at the thought that the last vial of the virus strain was destroyed. Earlier, he was still thinking of injecting the virus into Mason himself. He was imagining how exhilarating that would feel. However, it was obviously no longer possible thanks to Janet.
At this moment, Corey’s face was stoic. “I’ve underestimated you, but you can’t celebrate yet.”
As Janet looked at him, who was throwing a tantrum, she raised her brows before saying, “Lee, you can lead the others to leave first. I’ll catch up after finishing him off.”
“Alright.”
Suddenly, the infected people started walking toward them as if they were crazy. Everyone’s face faltered when they saw the virus-infected people. These infected people were like puppets who listened to Corey’s instructions.
Waving the controller in his hand, Corey seemed furious as he spat, “J’Adore, this virus strain has been modified by me. Hence, they only listen to my orders. In other words, they will kill anyone that I tell them to. Moreover, their bodies will explode once they stop breathing. Then, their blood will splatter all over across a radius of a few meters. You can try guessing what their blood does…”
Like zombies, the infected people were walking toward Janet. She then turned around and said coldly, “Everyone retreat.”
The faces of these infected people were filled with holes and were starting to rot. It was disgusting beyond words. It was even more disgusting than zombies!
As Desire and Lara couldn’t bear it any longer, they could only retreat and stand behind Janet.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1147
Exactly the Same as What She Dreamt
Lifting the gun up in the air, Janet fired the infected people standing before her. However, the moment the bullets hit them, their bodies exploded. Their blood could really splatter a few meters far. Not to mention, the blood was black in color!
Looking at the infected people exploding, Corey laughed louder.
At this moment, Lee squinted his eyes before firing in Corey’s direction.
Due to his excitement, Corey had forgotten to dodge the bullet. And so, the bullet landed right on his eye. At once, he collapsed to the ground screaming in pain. As he was very agitated, he pressed the button on the controller hard.
Almost immediately, the infected people started running toward Janet. Seeing that, Corey laughed as he said, “J’Adore, you won’t survive this time––not even if you’re a god.”
Janet thought that with the gun, she could finish them off. Hence, she didn’t understand what he meant that she wouldn’t survive. While she was in a trance, the infected started charging toward her. The bunch of monsters seemed like they wanted to devour her alive.
At this moment, her vision turned black. All of a sudden, an arm was around her waist as a figure stood in front of her. Shuddering, she was now in a warm embrace.
The person had a strong body, wide chest and a familiar scent. They were all so familiar… This was…
While she was still stumped, her eyes suddenly turned red for no reason. Out of instinct, she tried to look up, but the man covered a shirt over her head. He said in a low, hoarse voice, “Don’t look. It’s too bloody.”
What came next was a string of explosion sounds. She knew that the infected people must have been defeated. They must have retreated.
Nonetheless, the heavy metallic stench of blood couldn’t cover the man’s familiar scent. He was protecting her in his arms, bearing all the dangers on his own.
Janet never knew that a hug this warm existed in this world. Looking up to meet the man’s gleaming eyes, she felt suffocated. He had never looked at her so coldly; he looked at her with hopelessness and ruthlessness.
Just as she was about to confirm what she saw, the cold, hopeless, ruthless Mason was gone. Standing before her was the ever gentle man. Offering a soft smile, he said helplessly, “Babe, do you have no other options aside from pushing me away?”
At once, she snapped out of the trance. Her heart felt like it had broken in half. Her pain was comparable to the pain he felt when he watched her leave. She failed to say any word after hearing what he said.
Meanwhile, he casually brushed off the blood on his face before whispering in her ear, “Babe, let’s go home.”
At this moment, she noticed the blood on his face. The bloody wound was exactly the same as what she dreamt. If she wasn’t wrong, the blood must belong to one of the monsters––it wasn’t Mason’s.
Heaving a sigh of relief, she took the initiative to grab his hand before saying, “Let’s go home.”
There was still a lot that she wanted to say to him. She wanted to tell him about the dream. She wanted to explain how she initially didn’t want to leave him alone. It was all because she was just haunted by the horrible nightmare!
“Lee, restrain Corey and Emily and then take them in.”
“Roger that.”
Having seen the blood that wasn’t wiped off from Mason’s face, Corey suddenly laughed. “J’Adore, oh, J’Adore. In the end, you still lost!” After saying that, he laughed like a mad man.
With a frown, she glanced at him coldly before ordering, “Bring him away!”
The moment Corey walked past Mason, he laughed even louder. He didn’t explain much, which made the atmosphere even weirder.
After the chaos, Yobril was finally peaceful again. Though Janet could’ve finished both Emily and Corey off in the fight, she didn’t. It was because she knew that things wouldn’t just end so easily. Moreover, she didn’t understand what he meant when he said that she had lost.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1148
Mason Had a Fever
After that, Corey wouldn’t talk about the virus no matter how Janet forced him. He didn’t say a word about the virus and its antidote. Since she couldn’t get answers from him, she could only find another way.
Hence, she started doing research on the virus. She looked into the body parts that Lee had brought back thoroughly. From the body parts, she could still find the virus that was still alive. The living viruses were all infused in the blood which explained why their blood was black. In fact, the virus was the most highly mutative strain she had ever seen. Not to mention, the virus posed a higher risk to Mason’s condition.
She sighed, but she felt grateful. She was glad that she had captured Corey. Otherwise, the virus might be injected into Mason. The consequences of that would’ve been unimaginable.
Besides that, it was heard that Melissa had used a month for the research of the virus. Meanwhile, Janet simply used half a day to look through it thoroughly. However, it would take a longer time to create an antidote for it. She had planned to do research on the antidote within five days. She hoped that she could do sufficient and thorough research on it. After all, if the virus was spread, she could always use the antidote as a backup.
After settling things, Janet wanted to explain everything to Mason. However, he started having a fever after he came back from Yobril. As someone who didn’t get sick once in a few years, he was getting sick a lot after meeting her.
Looking at him sleep, she couldn’t help but feel her heartache for him.
“Janet.” Suddenly, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Old Madam Lowry entered the room.
Janet casually rubbed her eyes before she looked up. “Grandma, why aren’t you asleep yet? It’s pretty late now.”
Old Madam Lowry held her hand firmly before saying, “Janet, you’ve been taking care of him for the whole day now. You should get some rest.”
Shaking her head, Janet refused. “His fever was caused by the infection of his back wound, and that was because he didn’t get enough rest. That’s on me, so I must take care of him.”
Frowning, Old Madam Lowry sighed. “Since young, he rarely made others worry for him. He rarely gets fevers, much less severe ones like this that he’d be out all day. This is really weird.”
Hearing that, Janet had her head hung low as she remained silent.
“Janet.” Noticing that Janet was upset, Old Madam Lowry panicked. She then held Janet’s hand before reassuring her. “This isn’t your fault. Don’t overthink it. It’s probably just his worries that are making him sick. When he wakes up, you guys can talk it out. The illness will then go away.”
“Okay.”
“So, you should eat something now. That way, you will have the energy to talk with Mason when he wakes up. The maids and I will be here to take care of him in the meantime. Nothing will happen.”
Hearing that, Janet glanced at the man who was lying in bed. After a while, she finally nodded. “Grandma, I’ll go downstairs to eat then. When he wakes up, you must tell me immediately.”
“Don’t worry, I will surely inform you immediately.”
…
After taking a bite or two, Janet returned to check on Mason. He remained in the same position that he was in from when she left. He didn’t even turn around at all. It seemed that the fever was quite severe.
At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang. There was an incoming call displayed on the phone screen––it was Lara.
Janet asked, “Lara, what is it?”
“Corey Hills has been asking to see you. He’s been going at it for a whole day. I thought that he stopped, but he was still persisting when I checked in on him just now.”
Hearing that, Janet replied coldly, “Ask him to talk to you instead. I’m occupied here.”
Lara explained helplessly, “I did, but he insisted on telling you in person.”
Taking a glance at Mason, Janet hesitated before saying without an expression, “I’ll head over now.”
Before she left, she told the maid outside to let her know at once when he woke up. Nodding, the maid saw Janet, who was still worried, off.
After the bedroom became quiet, the man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1149
Blood Test
However, he didn’t seem like he had recovered. To be exact, he seemed to be rather uncomfortable. As he could no longer bear it, he rushed to the washroom and coughed out blood.
Looking at the blood on the floor that was almost black, he was stumped. The color of the blood was similar to that of the monsters.
Ever since he got back, he noticed that his body felt odd. Nonetheless, he didn’t dare to show it in front of Janet. Tonight, the pain was excruciating. If she were to stay around any longer, he would have spat out blood right in front of her.
…
Suddenly, a small rain suddenly poured outside. It was the first rain in Sandfort for the past 6 months.
In the Lowry Residence, Mason came down from the second floor.
Seeing that, the maid downstairs said joyfully, “Mr. Lowry, you’re finally awake.”
“Hurry up. Hurry and inform Miss Jackson to come back,” the leading maid said cheerfully.
Waving them off, Mason said, “There’s no need. Let her finish her work. You are dismissed for now.”
Just like that, he dismissed all the maids in the living room of the Lowry Residence. However, the leading maid didn’t leave immediately. She poured a cup of water and placed it in front of him. “Mr. Lowry, you don’t look so well. Are you still feeling under the weather?”
Taking a glance at her, he said coldly, “I’m fine. You can leave.”
“Okay.” After putting down the cup, she didn’t dare to say anything else.
At this moment, the light from the ceiling seemed extra bright. As he was lying on the couch with his eyes half-closed, he said disdainfully, “Is he here?”
“He’s here.”
Upon the cue, a doctor wearing a white coat walked to Mason’s side. “Mr. Lowry, I’ll withdraw your blood for the test.”
With a nod, Mason took the initiative to roll up his sleeve. The moment his arm was revealed, Sean’s pupils shrunk slightly; shock was evident in his expression. His fair arm had many red spots on it. Taking a closer look, Sean could see that the spots were getting to his wrist. W-What is this?
Snapping out of the trance, the doctor knitted his brows and quickly withdrew Mason’s blood.
At this moment, Mason showed no expression. “When will the blood test results be out?”
“I’ll have to send the blood samples to the research center. The results will be made ready for you in twenty minutes.”
After his blood was taken, Mason rolled his sleeve back down with a calm look. When the doctor left, Sean asked, “Mr. Lowry, what are the red spots on your arm?”
Without replying to him, Mason pulled out a cigarette box before putting a cigarette between his lips. After some time, he finally said, “I just noticed that too.”
After saying that, he inhaled the smoke before saying calmly, “Earlier, I threw up blood upstairs and the blood was black. It was the same as the monster’s blood. I suspect that I’ve been infected by the virus.”
Sean’s expression changed the moment he heard that. He felt as if his blood was frozen. In the beginning, he thought that Mason had called for the doctor for a simple test. He didn’t expect that it’d be this kind of test. No wonder he seemed unwell.
At this moment, Sean didn’t know what to say.
Smoking the cigarette, Mason looked out of the window. He quietly waited for the results of the blood test. Half an hour felt longer than half a year.
His phone finally rang after the rather extensive half an hour. At this moment, Sean’s heart was pacing. He felt like his heart could jump out of his chest at any given moment. Even after a minute, Sean’s hand that was holding the phone was still shaking. Struggling to take a deep breath, he blankly looked at the man sitting on the couch.
After he finished smoking the last cigarette, Mason looked up and asked with a calm expression. “What’s the result?”
Sean fell silent.
“Tell me, what’s the result? I can take it.”
“The result is out. It’s the virus, without a doubt.”
Hearing that, Mason simply shut his eyes without saying anything. Typically, the body would start to rot after 20 hours of virus infection, and the infected would die in 48 hours. Since he came back from Yobril, he had been infected for approximately 20 hours. However, there weren’t any rots on his body yet, just red spots.

Divine Doctor
Perhaps other toxins in his body had suppressed the virus’ infestation. Although the symptoms might come later than usual, it was hard to avoid morbidity. As the saying went, ‘you can’t hide forever’.
“Mr. Lowry, I’ll let Miss Jackson know. She must have an idea.”
Giving Sean a glance, Mason said calmly, “Don’t tell her.”
At once, Sean’s face turned pale. He then urged, “Mr. Lowry, Miss Jackson is a divine doctor. She has saved Old Madam Lowry, so I’m sure she can save you too!”
Without looking up, Mason replied, “Even if she’s a divine doctor, it would take at least five days to create an antidote. I can only last for three days. If she knows that there’s no way to save me, I fear that she may choose to die with me.”
In fact, he was more afraid that she’d go crazy. She must stay proud; she must remain as the god of Markovia. How could he stop her from that?
Hearing that, Sean froze. His eyes looked down slightly, but the pain in his eyes was hard to miss. “If this goes on, I’m afraid that there’ll be no hope at all. M-Mr. Lowry, no matter what, I can’t just watch you…”
“Just stop talking.” Mason suddenly cut Sean off as he stood up to head to the second floor. He then continued, “Prepare the car. We’ll go to Sky Villa.”
Hearing that, Sean felt his heart turn cold. Sky Villa was a luxurious place Mason owned, but he had never been there. Now that he suddenly decided to go there, it must be to avoid Janet!
At this moment, Sean closed his eyes painfully. Was there no other way?
Just like that, Mason silently left the Lowry Residence. Nobody knew about this except Sean, who was the one who sent him. That night, all higher position personnel had been summoned to Sky Villa. It was like… Mason was going to make his final announcement. There was going to be a revolution in the Lowry Family.
When Sean headed back to the Lowry Residence to retrieve some items, he couldn’t help the tears that filled his eyes as he saw all the familiar things. Before he lost himself to his emotions, he quickly rubbed his eyes and prepared to leave.
Just as he turned around, he bumped into Janet, who had just returned from jail. As it was still pouring outside, she was completely drenched. Having bumped into her, he felt a little guilty and wanted to avoid her.
Seeing that he was acting weird, Janet asked him coldly, “What’s wrong?”
As he couldn’t find any excuse, he pointed at her drenched clothes before saying, “Miss Jackson, your clothes are wet. You should change it soon so you won’t fall sick.”
As she was wearing a white shirt, it’d reveal her innerwear when she was drenched. Thinking that Sean was worried about that, she awkwardly wrapped her arms around herself before going upstairs for a change of clothes.
“Miss Jackson, how quick can the antidote for the virus be made?”
Hearing that, she stopped in her tracks before answering, “Quickest is five days.”
“Can’t it be quicker?”
“Five days is the limit.”
She was actually very worried about it. If she were to come up with the antidote herself, she didn’t have to send people to interrogate the sly fox, Corey. By then, she could just kill him. So, five days were actually the limitation already.
There wasn’t any light in Sean’s eyes. Pursing his lips, he said, “I’ll get going then, Miss Jackson.”
“Okay.” She acknowledged briefly before heading toward the second floor without looking back.
In the next second, she rushed down from the bedroom on the second floor.
Upstairs!
Bedroom!
On the bed!
No one!
Where was Mason?
She had never been so anxious before. Her fists were firmly clenched, and her lips were pursed tight. Where could he have gone? He was still sick!
She felt angrier the more she thought about it. Then, she fished out her phone and made a call to Lara.
“Help me track down Mason’s whereabouts!” A cold woman’s voice rang from the phone’s speaker.
At once, Lara felt goosebumps on her body as she had never seen Janet so mad. Obviously, she didn’t dare to ask anything and quickly did as she was told.
In the meantime, Janet pursed her lips as she anxiously waited to hear from Lara.
