Janet’s legs felt like lead when she walked into the isolation room.
During the afternoon, she had been working hard in the laboratory, and the development of the antidote had reached the final stage.
However, the drug molecules needed to be precipitated and polymerized, so to get the antidote, they had to wait until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
She could wait, but Mason’s body couldn’t.
If he were any ordinary man, he would’ve already died of the disease.
Herbert and James had told her that Mason was able to survive thus far through sheer willpower.
Although he was in stable condition now, no one knew when it would worsen, and she dared not take the gamble!
After taking just one glance at the man on the bed, Janet felt as if her heart was in piercing pain, and grief consumed her at once.
She took step after step toward the man’s bed before holding his hand. “As long as you’re alive, no matter what, I can accept it.”
All of a sudden, she felt her hand being held equally as tight.
Mason opened his eyes, and his lips curled up. “Babe, you finally came to see me.”
For a moment, Janet was stunned, then she returned his smile. “You’re awake?”
“I woke up when I heard your voice.” After speaking, Mason tried to get up.
Janet swiftly pushed him back onto the bed and said, “Even if Herbert said that your condition is stable, you can’t move around. Got it?”
“Babe.” There was a strange look on the man’s face. “Although I’m sick now, it doesn’t mean I can’t move.”
In fact, apart from some red spots on his body and how haggard he looked, his body was still in good condition.
Bending down, Janet caressed his face before giving it a pinch. “It’s good that you have strength.”
When Mason heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened. “Babe, what are you implying?”
Then, he reached out, clasped the back of her head, and kissed her.
It was an extremely tender kiss.
Mason pressed his forehead against the tip of her nose and smiled. “Unfortunately, we can’t do it.”
Janet froze, and her eyes dimmed.
After today, the heat from the man’s chest and the tenderness of his lips would be shared with someone else.
From then on, he would no longer be hers alone.
When Janet came back to her senses, her eyelashes fluttered. She placed her hand on his shoulder and pushed him back down. “Herbert will come in later to perform a reexamination. I’ll go out first.”
“Then, when the examination is over, will you come to see me again?” Mason suddenly asked in a pleading tone. “I really missed you.”
Janet was at a loss for words.
She pursed her lips, then said after a long time, “Okay.”
When she left, Janet couldn’t help but look at the man a few more times before reluctantly closing the door.
After leaving the isolation room, everyone stared at her with strange looks in their eyes.
Janet said blankly, “You guys can handle the rest. Call me when it’s over.”
With that, she walked toward the laboratory, her face void of expression.
Sean retracted his gaze, then looked at the two people in front of him and said, “If we ask Mr. Lowry to sleep with Emily, he probably won’t agree, so can you give him a hallucinogen?”
Herbert narrowed his eyes. “Are you saying that we should let him think that Emily is Janet?”
Sean gave a slight nod. “That’s right.”
Hallucinogens could affect a person’s nervous system, so they could see anyone as whoever they thought they were.
“Shouldn’t we discuss this matter with Mrs. Lowry first?” White Python asked with a frown.
Upon that, Black Python objected. “Don’t trigger her again!”
Herbert and James exchanged looks. “Then, we’ll go in first. You guys can bring that woman over in a while.”
“Understood.” Sean nodded.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1162
You’re Not Janet?
Meanwhile, Sean and Lara brought a subordinate into the laboratory.
When Sean saw the woman sitting leisurely on the sofa, he said coldly, “Bring her here.”
Upon hearing this, his subordinate stepped forward to grab hold of Emily, who was a little displeased. “Is this how you’re supposed to ask for someone’s help?”
Lara’s lips curled into a sneer. “Ask for your help? What right do you have for us to ask you for help? Aren’t you the one who’s eager to offer assistance?”
When Emily heard this, her face darkened considerably, but when she remembered that what happened next would make Janet suffer, she reckoned this was nothing. Hence, she smiled and said, “Where’s Janet? What, now? Does she not dare to face me? That makes sense. After all, from today onward, I’ll belong to Mason. No one would be able to accept that. I understand.”
Sean narrowed his eyes and warned in a low voice, “You’re just a tool being used to get rid of the virus. From now till forever, the Lowrys will only acknowledge Janet as the lady of the family.”
Emily raised her eyebrows indifferently. “Is that so? Janet can’t even save Mason, so what right does she have to be the lady of the family!”
And yet, she calls herself a divine doctor. Now, she’s been served a slap in the face. This is how it ends when you lie without proper planning. This is her retribution.
When Emily thought of the twisted and disappointed look on Janet’s face, she couldn’t help but feel happy.
After today, Janet would live in suffering for the rest of her life.
When she walked through the corridor, Emily’s laughter grew louder. She wanted to let Janet hear how happy she was.
After such a long battle, Janet had still lost to her!
“Hahahaha!”
Staring at the isolation room, Emily suddenly felt a little nervous, and her heart throbbed inexplicably.
Mason used to be a man who was out of her reach, so she never thought that she would be able to sleep with him one day.
When she thought about the fact that she could be on an equal footing with Janet in the Lowry Family in the future and that she would become Mason’s woman, her heart thumped.
No. Maybe after Mason experiences it with me, he’ll abandon Janet!
After all, those who had slept with her were ultimately infatuated with her.
Finally, a woman brought Emily into the isolation room.
When Janet heard Emily’s laughter, her hand holding the drug trembled.
She took a deep breath, then slowly took a syringe before drawing up the liquid from the medicine bottle.
The needle was oozing yellow liquid. Janet injected it into her arm without thinking twice.
…
Meanwhile, after walking into the isolation room, Emily was a little nervous, and her face was a little flushed as she walked toward Mason.
Although he had gotten a lot more haggard, he still looked very handsome.
This was as expected of the man Janet fancied.
“Come here and help me undress,” Emily impatiently instructed the woman behind her.
The woman nodded, then started helping Emily unbutton her shirt.
At this moment, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at the woman who was about to undress before him, Mason called out with uncertainty, “J-Janet…”
Emily stiffened.
Did Mason just call me ‘Janet’? He actually thinks I’m Janet?
Emily figured that if her guess was correct, Janet must’ve given Mason a hallucinogen.
Janet, that b*tch, actually did such a thing. Does she think that by doing that, her relationship with Mason won’t be estranged?
Taking a deep breath, she stopped the woman who was helping her undress, then turned and walked toward Mason.
“Young Master Lowry.” Emily spoke coquettishly and was about to reach out to touch the man’s face.
But when Mason heard the unfamiliar voice, his eyes narrowed slightly. He avoided her touch without thinking and asked coldly, “You’re not Janet?”
Emily was a little stiff as she pouted. “I’m Emily. I’m here to serve you today.”
Looking coldly at the woman in front of him, Mason’s voice was frighteningly low as he yelled, “Get out!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1163
Get Out!
Mason had somewhat figured out that Herbert had just injected him with hallucinogens, which was why he thought Emily was Janet just now.
What are they trying to do?
Emily was caught off guard by his reaction, but she still pressed her body as close as possible to his. “Young Master Lowry, don’t resist. I’m here today to cure you. The antidote for the virus is in my body, so as long as we sleep together today, your illness will be cured. Besides, it was your people who let me in.”
Although Emily had taken the initiative, she still couldn’t get her hands on a single part of Mason’s body—not even a single hair.
His gaze was becoming increasingly terrifying as his pupils turned red, and his voice was cold when he asked, “Where’s Janet? Does she know this too?”
Emily nodded obediently. “Of course she does. Otherwise, they wouldn’t possibly let me—”
“Get out!”
Before Emily could finish speaking, Mason directly jumped up from the bed.
His voice was low and cold, and he was staring at her like a viper.
Emily’s first reaction was fear, but when she thought of how much Janet was suffering outside, she endured all her fears.
Suppressing the timidity in her heart, she took a deep breath, then looked at the pale man in front of her and said, “Young Master Lowry, you should know whether it’s more important to be innocent or stay alive, right? No matter how much you love Janet, you have to think about her. She’ll be so sad if you’re gone! If you’re dead, what’s the use of innocence! Besides, my skills are no worse than Janet’s. I’ll definitely satisfy you!”
Emily didn’t expect Mason to accept her at once, so she was fine with taking it slow.
Whatever the case, after tonight, there would be a gap in Mason and Janet’s relationship. It would be impossible for them to go back to the way they were.
It didn’t matter if she didn’t survive in the end, because she would have already achieved the goal of making Janet suffer.
At this thought, Emily walked toward Mason and approached him with her breasts.
But before she could touch him, the man in front of her lifted her up with one hand like a madman before tossing her hard onto the ground.
Emily’s head suddenly went blank, and blood flowed non-stop from her forehead.
Has Mason gone insane? Would he rather die than let me touch him? In what way am I inferior to that b*tch, Janet?!
Emily was livid, and she felt extremely insulted!
Mason fixed her with a fierce glare, and his voice was extremely low as he growled, “Get out of here!”
Upon hearing the commotion in the isolation room, Henry, who was waiting outside the door, frowned. “What’s going on?”
Sean grew nervous as well. “Could it be that Young Master Lowry recognized Emily?”
Upon hearing this, Herbert was the first to stand up and deny. “That’s impossible. I already gave him enhanced hallucinogens.”
At this moment, Janet came out from the second laboratory after hearing the noise. Her face was a little pale as she looked at the people outside the isolation room and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know,” the few of them answered in unison.
Janet walked to the isolation room without hesitation. She took a deep breath and prepared to observe the situation inside.
However, at this moment, the door of the isolation room was opened.
The few of them instantly stiffened in place.
Janet looked at the man who had just opened the door, and her vision turned blurry while her voice turned hoarse. “Mason…”
She was staring at the man in front of her in disbelief.
He was dressed in casual black clothes, which made his originally pale complexion even paler, and there was some sadness in his dull eyes.
Fixing her with a stubborn stare, he said a little aggrievedly, “Babe, you said you’d come see me after the examination, but why did someone else show up instead?”
For a moment, Janet felt suffocated.
He continued, “Babe, are you trying to give me to another woman?”
Stunned, Janet shook her head.
If it weren’t because of how desperate the situation was, she would never be willing to give him to another woman.
“Babe, I didn’t touch her, so hurry up and hug me.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1164
She Had Really Gone Insane!
Almost instantly, Janet rushed toward Mason and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
She pressed her pink lips against the tip of the man’s nose and said softly, “In fact, I would rather you die than let her touch you, but I was afraid you’d think I was selfish. I can’t deprive you of the right to live!” Then, she uttered each word clearly, “But I’m glad you didn’t touch her at all.”
Mason’s lips curled up into a smile. “I knew you weren’t so generous, Darling. I want to keep my innocence for you.”
Janet stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips before gently letting go of him. Then, she revealed two small sharp teeth and fiercely bit the man’s neck.
When her teeth penetrated his skin, black blood instantly stained Janet’s lips.
The faces of the people behind them went pale!
It was too late to stop her.
Mason’s body stiffened slightly, but he had also completely accepted this fact.
Sure enough, as he thought, she had really gone insane!
Blood was still pouring out of Emily’s forehead, but as she watched the crazy duo, she began to laugh. “You’re crazy! You’re all crazy! Now, besides me, there’s no other antidote in the world that can save you!” She never would’ve thought that Janet would be so crazy as to willingly get infected with Mason’s disease.
These two people have really gone insane!
Janet moved her lips away from the man’s neck, then looked down at the woman on the ground and said coldly, “Lara, bring her downstairs.”
“Okay.”
As Emily was dragged up from the ground, she rattled on, “Janet, you b*tch! You’re finally about to die! After all this time, you’ve still lost to me. Janet, even a divine doctor can’t save you now.”
Janet closed her eyes and tightly hugged the man in front of her.
Herbert finally couldn’t help but chide, “Janet, you’re too impulsive!”
Even if it proved how much they loved each other, they shouldn’t hurt themselves like this.
The drug needed to be precipitated and polymerized, so they could only get it the day after tomorrow at the earliest!
Not to mention, even if they managed to create the antidote, it might not be right yet.
Now that she had bitten Mason’s neck, it meant that Janet was also infected with the virus.
Everyone in the room looked extremely troubled!
Janet’s eyes were profound as she pursed her lips. “Just now, in the laboratory, I’ve already injected the antidote into my body. If by tomorrow I still don’t show any symptoms, it means that the antidote is successful.”
As soon as she said that, Herbert and James’ faces grew even paler.
Janet actually skipped the precipitation and polymerization stage of the drug?
It was important to note that if the drug molecules didn’t get enough time to precipitate and polymerize before entering the blood vessels, it had a high potential of becoming dangerous.
Janet was truly too impulsive for doing this.
James couldn’t stop himself from exclaiming, “Janet, this is clearly suicide!”
When Mason heard this, his eyes darkened, and he studied the girl in front of him with a pained look.
Janet touched the man’s face, and the corners of her lips twitched. “Don’t listen to them. I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry.”
Everyone knew that Janet was only doing this for Mason.
To be precise, she also bit Mason’s neck to turn herself into a lab rat.
As long as she was still disease-free tomorrow, it meant that the antidote was a success, and she would be able to inject the antidote into Mason tomorrow as well.
To Mason, for it to happen one day sooner meant that there was a little more hope.
Herbert was so worried that he nearly pulled all his hair out of his head. “Janet, if the old man in Markovia found out you were doing this, he would be furious.”
Janet slowly brought her hands down, then cast Herbert a sideway glance while saying lightly, “Can’t you say something nice? Do you want me to die that badly?”
“I-I’m not…” Herbert was speechless for a moment.
Janet looked back at the man in front of her, then held his hand tightly and said, “So, no matter what, please stay strong for my sake, okay?”
Mason’s thin lips were a little pale, but he answered firmly, “Okay. For you, babe, I’ll persevere no matter what.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1165
Hurry and Get the Doctors!
In the hours that followed, it was time to observe Janet’s physical condition, and everyone was very anxious about this. All night, no one even dared to close their eyes because they were afraid that something would happen to Janet if they did.
Besides, not only did everyone from the Lowry Family come to the hospital to see Mason, but everyone from the MX were also here at the hospital to see Janet. For some reason, looking at the sleeping man beside her, Janet suddenly felt at ease.
Seventy-two hours of researching and creating the antidote had really pushed her limits. Regardless, she was still quite confident; otherwise, she wouldn’t be worthy of her title as a ‘divine doctor’.
Meanwhile, the people outside the isolation room were as impatient as ants on a hot pan. Even though the Lowry Family had placed an embargo on the news on purpose, Old Madam Lowry still managed to find out about it. Looking into the isolation room with a serious expression, she asked, “If I didn’t manage to find out, how long were all of you planning to hide this from me?”
If it weren’t for the servants who were sneaking around whispering about this in the past few days, she wouldn’t have known that Mason’s condition was this serious. Moreover, when she heard that Janet had entered the isolation room as well, she simply rushed over without a second thought.
Sean was a little embarrassed from being questioned by Old Madam Lowry. “Old Madam, this was Mr. Lowry’s instructions—he just didn’t want you to worry.”
Lara also followed along and continued comforting her, “Old Madam Lowry, my master is a divine doctor, so I’m sure they will be fine.”
Old Madam Lowry was a little taken aback when she saw Lara, and it took her a few seconds to realize that she was with Janet. She nodded and tried to force out a smile. “Yes. I know. She did all my surgeries, so I trust her medical skills. She will definitely be able to save the day this time round as well.”
Sean and Lara stayed by Old Madam Lowry’s side and continued to comfort her. Henry, on the other hand, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Damn it! I hate these kinds of displays of ‘sacrificial love’ the most.” It was just so cliché!
“Young Master Moss, my master and his wife are not dead yet. Please don’t curse them,” Black Python couldn’t help but retort after hearing what Henry said.
Not backing down, Henry continued to say angrily, “F*ck it. It’s better for them to die. This way, I can also share the property of the Lowry family.”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Lara walked up to the two of them, squinted her eyes, and said in a dangerous tone, “Shut the f*ck up, both of you.”
Henry and Black Python were immediately stunned silent after hearing what she said.
When Henry finally reacted and wanted to say something, Lara glared at him. “If you want a share of the Lowry family’s property, you’re free to do so over my dead body.” Her aura was domineering, and her tone was cold. Judging from these traits, she was just as fierce as the woman who was lying on the bed in the isolation room.
Black Python became a little cowardly all of a sudden and dared not to say anything more. Even Henry was scared and stopped talking.
…
In just that one night, everyone present was in different moods, and their faces were filled with worries. Throughout this period, none of them rested much.
In the blink of an eye, six hours passed.
“Cough, cough.”
Janet was awakened by a series of coughs and hacks. As soon as she heard that, she opened her eyes and reacted in a split second. She quickly turned her head and looked over. The man’s face was even paler than yesterday, and he was even coughing up blood. This symptom was definitely a bad sign for Mason.
Janet quickly got up and walked in front of the man. She was holding the man’s hand tightly with one hand while helping him wipe the blood from his mouth with the other. This movement in the isolation room shocked the people in the corridor outside as well.
At this moment, a group of people rushed in. Sean was the first to get in. When he saw the scene in front of him, his face suddenly darkened. Immediately, he instructed the people behind him, “Hurry and get Dr. Fernandaz and Dr. Torrez!”
“That’s not necessary.” Janet interrupted Sean.
Everyone immediately froze in place. Just then, Black Python noticed Janet’s neck and arms, so he hurried over and held her hand before yelling out, “Young Miss Jackson, y-you…”
Black Python was so worked up that he couldn’t speak very clearly.
Mason, who was coughing blood, suddenly narrowed his eyes and his breath became cold. Then, he looked at Black Python coldly and warned, “Black Python, are you looking to die?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1166
It Worked!
Even though Mason’s face was pale and meek, it did not hide his oppressive aura at all. Though it was just a mere warning, it was enough to cause everyone present to gasp.
There was dead silence both inside and outside the isolation room.
However, Black Python did not stop and even went on to pull Janet’s clothes off her chest.
At this point, Mason’s expression got even uglier.
Henry reacted immediately and hurriedly pulled Black Python away. “Why are you tearing her clothes off?!”
Black Python obviously didn’t take Henry’s words and Mason’s warning for it and instead said excitedly, “Young Miss Jackson, why don’t you have red spots on your arms and neck?”
As soon everyone heard what he said, their eyes fell on Janet’s chest and arms.
Swiftly, Mason managed to quickly cover Janet with his thin blanket until only her arms were exposed. However, it was enough for the rest to notice that Janet’s arms did not have a single red spot and was fair as snow.
Everyone present was absolutely taken aback from this.
Herbert and James trotted all the way into the isolation room after hearing Black Python’s words, and then they rushed in front of Janet.
Surely enough, Janet was infected with the virus, but she didn’t have any red spots on her body.
This meant that lesions didn’t form on her body from the virus!
The fact that she had no lesions meant that the antidote developed by Janet was a success.
It worked!
Everyone stood frozen in place.
The virus that Melissa had spent a month researching on was actually cracked by Janet within just three days.
Not only that, she also managed to develop the antidote.
“It worked! It worked!” Everyone present cheered.
They weren’t sure when, but Old Madam Lowry came into the room and quickly stepped forward to hold Janet’s hand. “Janet, I’ve always known you could do it.”
Old Madam Lowry’s eyes, which were looking at Mason and Janet, reddened slightly.
Janet bit her lips and comforted Old Madam Lowry while stroking her back gently, “Grandma, I’m fine. Mason will be fine too.”
Old Madam Lowry nodded slightly. “Alright, alright. I’m not worried.”
After speaking to Old Madam Lowry, Janet’s expression immediately changed, and the air that exuded from her turned cold. She then said emotionlessly, “Sean, bring them out.”
Sean knew what to do and replied quickly, “Yes, Young Miss Jackson.”
After some of them left under Sean’s lead, there were only a few people left in the originally crowded isolation room.
After everyone had left, Janet looked at Herbert and James. “I will conduct a blood sampling first, then a comprehensive physical examination. If there is no disease nor virus left in my body, we will use the antidote for Mason.”
“No problem.”
With that, Janet held Mason’s hand tightly with both hands. The corners of her lips curled upwards slightly, and she said comfortingly, “Wait for me to be back.”
The man’s dark eyes showed a sign of reluctance, but he still let go of her hand in the end and said, “Okay. I’ll wait for you!”
Janet smiled slightly, then got up and walked out.
Herbert looked at her back view and couldn’t help but say, “Janet, let me help you.”
“No.”
Drawing blood was a simple procedure, so she could easily do it herself.
Lara followed Janet and walked out together.
In the laboratory.
After Janet sat down, she began to sterilize the blood drawing needle. Janet was extremely skilled in the procedure.
Lara followed closely behind her. Her brows, which had been furrowed all night, finally managed to relax, and she said happily, “Janet, since there are no red spots on your body, doesn’t that mean there is nothing wrong with you, and so we could skip the blood tests and all other tests?”
“No.” Janet looked extremely serious. “I should still take the blood test just in case—I want to make sure.”
Although the blood test would take up to 20 minutes to get the results, she was not willing to risk forfeiting Mason’s life just to save 20 minutes’ worth of procedures.
Because it was him, she had to be more careful no matter what.
As the sharp needle pierced her blood vessel, Janet didn’t even frown.
After a while, she quickly pulled out the needle and pressed the cotton swab at the location of the blood vessel.
After the bleeding stopped, she removed the cotton swab and threw it neatly into the trash can.
What came next would be the dreadful waiting time for all of them.
Soon, the time had passed.
When Janet saw the blood test report, she was stunned for several seconds.
Then, her dark eyes flashed slightly as an unknown emotion came over her.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1167
What a Beast
Noticing that Janet was frozen in place, Lara quickly stepped forward and leaned to look at the report while asking, ”What does it say? The antidote really worked, right?”
“Y-Yeah…” Janet continued to stare at the blood test report and answered vaguely.
Seeing her reaction, Lara grew a little suspicious and also cast her gaze on the report.
When her sight fell on a certain line of words, her whole body froze suddenly.
“Janet, you…” Lara thought she had read it wrongly at first and even rubbed her eyes on purpose.
After regaining her senses, Janet quickly put away the blood test report. A faint smile flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her lips moved up slightly. “Don’t tell anyone about this yet.”
Lara opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse. “Janet, judging from your reaction, have you known about this for a while?”
It was quite hard for Lara to believe how Janet could handle this matter so calmly—unless she had actually known long ago.
Janet’s eyes drooped, and she answered lightly, “A little.”
She had been very busy recently, so she didn’t pay much attention to what really happened to her body.
However, when she saw the blood test report just now, she was a little surprised to confirm her occasional conjecture.
Hearing this, Lara was a little angry. She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. “What a beast.”
Janet had no expression on her face. After packing everything, she went out immediately.
Lara only followed behind and continued to curse on the ‘beast’!
Back in the isolation room, as Janet pushed open the door, everyone’s eyes fell on her instantly.
There was a noticeable strong desire and curiosity in everyone’s eyes. “Young Miss Jackson, how did it go?”
Janet hooked her lips while her eyebrows finally loosened. “Blood test showed that there’s nothing wrong.”
“That is great!” Once again, everyone was ecstatic from hearing the news.
They knew that Janet was a divine doctor, so she would definitely find a way.
Mason took Janet’s hand and kissed it at once while saying softly, “Babe, thank you. You’ve worked hard.”
Janet didn’t say anything and only shook her head.
What was next was the moment where Mason got his antidote injected—which was the moment when everyone was able to relax.
Soon, only Janet and Mason were left in the isolation room, and the rest of the staff had all retreated.
While everyone looked happy, only Lara frowned as a dark murderous expression hung on her face.
Noticing that, Henry looked at her and asked, “Who got on your nerves today?”
“Ask the man inside!”
When Henry heard this, he was a little confused. “Mr. Lowry? What did he do to you?”
Lara squinted her eyes and was breathing very heavily. As if gritting her teeth, she hissed, “He’s a beast!”
“A beast?” Black Python frowned, seemingly a little displeased. “Miss Lara, even though you are Young Miss Jackson’s subordinate, I don’t think that makes it okay for you to say such things about Mr. Lowry.”
Lara glared at Black Python fiercely and said coldly, “Why can’t I say that about him? Tell him to come out and fight me one-on-one if he has the ability to.”
The crowd was stunned speechless for a while.
They all felt that Lara was just looking for trouble.
Forget whether Mason was a real beast—even if he had bad intentions, it was impossible for him to do something to anyone but Janet!
Hence, White Python stood up this time around. “Miss Lara, you are not making it clear, and we are really confused—so if you refuse to clarify yourself, please don’t slander Mr. Lowry.”
“You—”
Lara’s words were stuck in her throat as she was contemplating whether she should tell everyone about it.
However, as she thought of what Janet had ordered her to do, she swallowed her words.
Henry frowned and stared at her. “Go on. Say it! If Mason really did something beastly to you, Janet will definitely stand up for you.”
Lara glanced at Henry, and her pink lips parted slightly as she scolded, “You idiot.”
After speaking, she walked to the other side of the corridor without looking back.
Henry was completely dumbfounded after hearing what she said.
Sean, Black Snake, and others couldn’t help but react the same.
……..
In the isolation room.
After Janet injected the antidote for Mason, she threw the syringe into the trash can neatly and skillfully.
After a while, she looked up at him and asked gently, “Does it hurt?”
“It does…”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1168
Blessing in Disguise
Mason finally let down his walls and looked at Janet vulnerably.
Janet patted the man’s head and chuckled. “You have to get another injection tomorrow.”
In fact, he didn’t need another shot, but since the virus had been in his body for 4 days, the second shot was necessary to build his resistance to the virus.
Mason took Janet’s hand, then cupped her face and kissed her lips. “How can you be so gentle, Darling?”
Originally, she was a person with thorns all over her body, so she was difficult to approach. However, before he knew it, her temperament became gentler by the day.
She was capable and caring; it was hard for anyone to not love her more and more.
Janet pursed her lips. Then, she put her hand on her stomach inadvertently and said lightly, “Fortunately, you managed to hang in there for me.”
An unknown emotion flashed across Mason’s eyes, and all of a sudden, there was a bit of sadness in his eyes. “Babe, when I found out that you gave me to another woman, my heart felt hollow. No matter what, I don’t want our relationship to have any misunderstanding—all I want is you, and you alone.”
Janet took his hand and lowered her head.
She then murmured in his ear, “If it wasn’t the last resort, how could I be willing to let you go? Fortunately, you kept your innocence for me.”
With that, she rubbed her teeth on his neck, as if deliberately proving her existence.
Mason closed his eyes slightly while enjoying it a little. He then said cautiously, “Don’t pierce my skin.”
Janet chuckled lightly and kept moving. “It’s fine.”
Both of them conveyed all their emotions of the past few days to each other while quietly listening to each other’s heartbeats.
In the next second, Mason got up and pressed on top of her. “You want it?”
“No.” Janet shook her head with a smile.
“I do, though.” The man’s voice was low, somewhat suave and hoarse.
Janet was speechless from hearing his answer.
Reaching out to his chin, she touched the stubble he had grown over the past few days. “Hm. You’re quite energetic—it seems that I was worried for nothing.”
If she knew that he could return to normal so soon, she wouldn’t have worried about him so much.
Mason chuckled softly, savoring the taste between her lips.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
Janet was stunned for a moment before she quickly pushed the man away from her.
However, to her dismay, someone from outside broke in before she could get out of bed.
“Cough, cough!”
Everyone looked embarrassed, and they kept coughing to cover up their embarrassment.
Janet frowned but quickly regained her composure.
“Janet, the two of you have just recovered, so you’d better rest. After all, you’ll have all the time to do whatever you want when you both are finally stabilized.” Herbert stood aside and reminded them ‘considerately’.
Janet raised her eyes and asked expressionlessly, “Do I need you to remind me?”
Herbert reached up and covered his mouth while fake-coughing.
Right then, Henry pulled Lara, who was standing beside the corner with a depressed face, into the room and said, “Miss Lara, didn’t you just say that Mr. Lowry is a beast? Tell me: What did he do?”
Lara raised her eyes and glanced carefully at Janet.
Janet’s expression was slightly restrained, and her dark eyes flashed.
Seeing Janet’s expression, Mason squinted his eyes immediately and stared at her. “Babe, what are you guys trying to communicate through telepathy?”
Hearing that, Janet looked at the crowd and clicked her tongue.
It seemed that she had to say it now.
“I…” She lowered her eyes and fiddled her fingertips slightly. “I’m pregnant.”
Her cold and indifferent voice landed, and the scene turned dead silent.
Pregnant?
She’s pregnant?!
Dozens of pairs of eyes at the scene all landed on Janet’s flat abdomen.
Henry opened his mouth in disbelief. He couldn’t even finish his sentence and stuttered, “J-Janet, did you say that you’re… pregnant?”
Janet didn’t raise her eyes. Her ears were a little red, and she nodded casually. “Yeah…”
Everyone present at the scene widened their eyes again.
“Oh, my God! This is fantastic news!”
“What a blessing in disguise!”
“There is finally a successor to the Lowry family!”
“Old Madam Lowry would be so happy to hear of this!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1169
Is This a Blessing or a Curse?
On one hand, people from the Lowry family were discussing Janet’s pregnancy excitedly. On the other hand, people from the MX were gritting their teeth.
“F*ck. She’s pregnant?”
“Isn’t she only 19?”
“Our boss is still so young! How could Mason Lowry do this to her?”
“What a beast! He made Janet pregnant at such a young age. What if there is a problem in the future?”
Janet lowered her head while listening and said nothing.
As soon as Herbert and James heard this, their expressions changed, and their eyes were locked on Janet.
Herbert was the first to react. He looked at Janet with a calm face and opened his mouth. “Janet, you…”
He hesitated.
As if she knew what he was going to say to her, Janet finally raised her eyes at this moment. Lifting her eyebrows, she said casually, “Can you guys please leave the room for now? I want to get some rest.”
Herbert pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Henry, Sean, and the others left the room happily.
After a while, everyone had left—only James still stood there motionlessly.
Before leaving, he added, “Janet, whether it’s a blessing or a curse, you have to consider it carefully.”
Although she might not be happy to hear this now, in this situation, it was indeed not the right time for her to have a baby.
Hearing that, Janet merely glanced at him and said nothing.
……..
The room returned to the silence it was shrouded in earlier, whereupon Janet turned to look at Mason.
His lips were pursed, and there was no response from him.
Janet frowned and asked lightly, “So?”
The man seemed to be still in shock and did not respond.
After a while, Janet patted his shoulder. Finally, he raised his head to say something.
At this point, they were facing each other while their gaze interlocked.
Mason looked directly into Janet’s eyes, and her words ‘I’m pregnant’ kept repeating in his mind.
She is pregnant with my child…
For a moment, Mason felt that his brain was about to explode.
He couldn’t tell if he was in disbelief or ecstatic.
Those words were not enough to express what he really felt in his heart.
For a long time, Mason didn’t respond. He could only manage to stare at her blankly.
Impatient, Janet raised her eyebrows and asked coldly, “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy? You don’t want the baby?”
To be frank, they didn’t get to take their contraception measures every time, but sometimes when it was too late for Mason to wear a condom, she would take emergency contraceptives afterward instead.
That being so, they still managed to ‘get lucky’ this time.
She knew that it wasn’t all a matter of luck, because it was as if they had sex more times in a day than they had meals—even if measures were taken, getting pregnant was only a matter of time.
Thinking of this, Janet’s ears turned red.
Mason, on the other hand, stayed silent and only looked at her quietly.
This attitude of his made Janet a little unhappy—anger rose in her chest as she glared at him. “You really don’t want the baby?”
Her voice was low and cool, and it finally snapped him back to reality.
He took a glance at her flat belly, got off the bed, and immediately tried to walk out of the isolation room while holding her hand.
“Mason…” Janet stopped him in confusion.
The man looked back at her and touched her face with a hint of comfort. “I’ll get a female doctor to operate on you.”
What?
Is he asking me to get an abortion?
Janet shook his hand off and glared at him. “What do you mean? If I were to get an abortion, I will get Herbert and James to help me with it.”
“No.” The man refused strongly without a second thought. “They are men!”
Perhaps he realized that his attitude was inappropriate, but after he recovered from the shock, his voice became lower and more gentle. “This is all my fault—it’s all because I couldn’t hold back. I will try my best to compensate you after your surgery.”
Janet turned her head and said coldly, “It also has the right to live, so I won’t have the surgery—”
“Babe, I can follow your decision in everything, but you must follow mine in this.” Mason’s eyes were bloodshot as he spoke.
Janet pursed her lips and closed her eyes gently.
Looking at her reaction, Mason even thought of chopping off his member. His voice was slightly hoarse as he held her tightly in his arms.
Janet struggled slightly but did not try to break free—though reluctantly, she stayed in his arms.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1170
That’s My Girl
Mason rested his head on Janet’s shoulder, and his tone was full of distress. “Babe, I’m sorry. This is the last thing I’d have to resort to. Even James said it—it’s not the right time for us to be bringing a child into the world.”
As soon as she heard what he said, her body stiffened as she froze slightly.
It turned out that he didn’t hate the idea of having a child, but he was worried about her body…
She moved her fingertips slightly. “I know my body best, so I will make the decision whether to keep the baby or not.”
Mason stood strong. “Babe, listen to me.”
“If it can’t stay strong, it doesn’t deserve to be my child,” Janet parted her lips and said coldly.
This sudden sentence made the man stunned. He raised his head and met the girl’s resolute eyes.
If it couldn’t survive this, it wouldn’t qualify to be her child.
She was giving it and herself a chance.
Mason pursed his lips and met her determined eyes. “Okay. If it can’t make it, it wouldn’t qualify to be my child either.”
“Alright. Stop frowning, then.” Janet touched Mason’s face with one hand and her lower abdomen with the other. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to it.”
He stared at her smiling eyes dotingly. All of a sudden, he reached out to clasped the back of her head and kissed her passionately.
The both of them had waited far too long for this kiss.
They kissed as if they were both melding into each other.
Afterward, Janet’s small face was pressed against Mason’s chest. She could barely hear what he said above her. “Babe, promise me.”
The familiar voice pulled her thoughts back a little, and she asked lightly, “What is it?”
He hooked her charming chin with one hand. “I hope that what happened that night will never happen again. If you dare to lie to me again, I won’t—”
“What are you trying to say? That you will ignore me or break up with me?”
The man was stunned for a moment from hearing what she said. His eyes were red as he stared at her, then he continued, “If you dare to hide anything from me again, I will really ignore you.”
Janet couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. “Can you really?”
Mason went speechless.
“I promise that I’ll tell you everything in the future. Okay?” She couldn’t bear to tease him any more and dove straight into his arms to please him.
“That’s my girl.” Mason fondly patted the back of her head.
Soon, she closed her eyes and opened her mouth to say, “I’m sleepy.”
With a smile, he patted her on the back and said with his low and soft voice, “Alright, baby. Let’s go to sleep.”
……..
She fell into a deep slumber, and it wasn’t until nighttime that she woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Mason sitting by the bed, staring at her tenderly with his hazel eyes.
Janet suddenly remembered something. “I forgot to give you the second shot.”
Mason hooked the corner of his lips and let out a chuckle. “Herbert already did it.”
“No wonder you are in such good spirits.”
“When have I ever let you worry about me except for this time?” Mason got up and poured her glass of water while speaking righteously.
Well, he wasn’t wrong. Otherwise, she would not have conceived a child even through the use of contraceptives; this man’s vitality was simply inconceivable.
It seemed that she was worried for nothing.
Then, she opened her mouth and said casually, “I’m hungry. I want to eat something.”
“I’ll have someone bring some food here.”
“I want something spicy.”
Hearing this, Mason, who was about to take out his mobile phone, stopped his action. “You’re pregnant, so you can’t eat spicy food.”
Janet snorted and frowned. “But… the baby wants it too…”
Mason had no choice but to order whoever was on the other end of the phone to bring some honey sriracha meatballs.
After hanging up the phone, Mason’s brows rose and he uttered, “Hm. I heard that if a woman likes to eat sour during pregnancy, she will have a boy; if she likes to eat spicy, she will have a girl. I wonder if there’s any truth to this.”
Janet didn’t even think about it and immediately shook her head. “Of course not!”
“Good.”
“Wait.” Janet glared at him. “You don’t want girls?”
“Yeah.”
“You prefer sons to daughters?”
Hearing Janet’s rebuke, Mason couldn’t help but chuckle. He looked at her flat belly and clenched her hands. “Babe, if it’s a boy, there will be one more person in this world who can protect you.”
Janet sat on the bed with her legs crossed and said casually, “I’ll bet you haven’t heard that women are no inferior to men.”
