The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 551
Titus nodded. “But that is going to take some time. Nolan doesn’t have much time anymore, so I hope you can urge Mr. Salazar to pick up his pace, Ms.
Reynolds.”
Sue smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to save Mr. Goldmann.”
Sue walked into the ward. Nolan was sitting on the bed, reading a magazine. Despite his pallid appearance, he still looked as handsome as before,
While Nolan was flipping through the magazine, he said without lifting his head, “Seems like I’m beyond saving.”
“Please don’t say that, Mr. Goldmann,” Sue said as she walked up to Nolan. When she arrived beside Nolan’s bed, she bit her lips and continued. “I’ll try my best to save you, I promise.”
Would Nolan really die?
Nope. She hadn’t wanted to shoot Nolan back then. The moment she had pointed her gun at Nolan, she had already regretted it Therefore, she had switched her target to Maisie.
‘This is all that b*tch Maisie’s fault. If it hadn’t been for her, Nolan wouldn’t have taken the bullet for her and wouldn’t have gotten infected!
Nolan stopped flipping the magazine and frowned. “I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that you seem to have known me for a long time, Ms. Reynolds.”
Sue was stunned when she heard what Nolan said.
Nolan closed the magazine, lifted his head, and looked Sue straight in the eyes.
Something flitted across Sue’s eyes, and she averted her gaze. She smiled and explained, “I have a good impression of you, and I don’t want you to die at such a young age, Mr. Goldmann.”
“Really?” he asked as he withdrew his gaze. He put the magazine on the table and smiled at her. “Then I hope that you can save me, Ms. Reynolds.”
Sue’s heart trembled.
How good it would be if Nolan could treat her like this and had not hated her so much back then.
Unfortunately, she was “Sue” now and could never be “Rowena” again.
Nolan studied her, and a glint flashed past his eyes. “I wonder what you would look like in high heels, Ms. Reynolds.”
Sue was stunned. She was not wearing high heels because she was afraid she would not look like the original Sue, especially her height . However, Nolan had never come across the original Sue before.
She asked, “You like women in high heels, Mr. Goldmann?”
Nolan smiled but did not say anything. There was an emotion in his eyes that Sue couldn’t read. After a moment, he said, “Maybe you should wear high heels when you come to see me next time.”
Sue lowered her head and smiled. “Well, since you’ve asked, I’ll wear high heels when I come to see you next time.”
After Sue left the ward, the smile on Nolan’s face disappeared and was replaced by a mysterious cold grin.
When Sue walked out of the hospital, she bumped into Maisie and Saydie.
Maisie was not surprised to see Sue here. She walked up to Sue with a smile on her face. Just when she was about to greet Sue, the latter said, “What a coincidence. Are you here to visit, Mr. Goldmann?”
“Yeah. After all, he’s my husband. Oops, I’m sorry, I should say ex-husband. Since we’ve slept on the same bed before, I think I should come and visit him.”
Seeing that Maisie said the word “ex-husband” nonchalantly, Sue recalled what had happened three years ago. Nolan had wanted to get a divorce with Maisie, and she was certain that there must be a” crack” in the relationship between Maisie and Nolan now.
“Oh yeah, your teacher is Mr. Salazar, right, Ms. Reynolds?” Maisie looked at her. “Since it’s Mr. Salazar, I’m sure your teacher will be able to save
Nolan, right?”
Sue’s pupil constricted, and she took a breath. Then, she said, “Of course, he can.”
Maisie said indifferently while toying with the ring on her finger, “His grandfather has pinned his hopes on you, and if Mr. Salazar can’t save his grandson, he will be very sad.”
A hint of ruthlessness crossed Sue’s eyes, but she still maintained the smile on her face and said, “Seems like you still care a lot about
Mr. Goldmann.”
“Well, how should I put this? He is, after all, the father of our kids. Even though we’ve gotten a divorce, he’s still related to the kids, right? “Maisie lifted her head to look at Sue. There was no emotion in the depth of her eyes.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 552
Smiling, Sue replied, “Yeah, you’re right.”
“By the way, I heard that you’ve worked for Luxella before?”
The smile on the corner of Sue’s lips froze for a moment when she heard what Maisie said. “Yeah. What’s wrong?”
After hearing her answer, Maisie then said with a straight lace. “Well, this is weird. I was in Luxella nine years ago, but you don’t know
me?”
Sue grabbed her purse tightly and tried her best not to look nervous, “An accident happened, and I can’t remember a lot of events and people.”
She then lowered her head to look at her watch and added, “I need to go back and discuss with Mr.
Salazar, so I have to take my leave now.”
;
After she finished speaking, she walked past Maisie.
Maisie looked at her figure that was disappearing in her vision and fell into contemplation.
When Maisie arrived at the ward, she heard Nolan talking to Quincy.
It seemed to her that Quincy was telling Nolan something. He said that Roger had been seeing Mr. Hathaway, the son of a consortium in Yaramoor.
Roger was so eager to pull this Mr. Hathaway to his
side because of his financial power.
After losing Robert, nearly half of his properties were confiscated by the royal family, while another half was given to the government.
Roger monopolized the vaccines and sold them at low prices to hospitals or even nobles in the surrounding countries because he hoped to use these vaccines to turn the tide in his favor.
Quincy looked at him and continued, “The media is all over you right now, and it seems like they want to prove that those vaccines are effective through you.”
Nolan put his hands on the blanket and said, “Does Grandpa know that the Hathaways are involved in these matters?”
Quincy shook his head and replied, “Nope. He doesn’t know.”
Nolan seemed to be thinking of something. Then, when he turned his head and saw Maisie, who was standing with her back against the wall, he chuckled and asked, “Why are you standing over there?”
Quincy turned his head around, and it was only then he saw Maisie and Saydie at the door.
Maisie walked into the ward. “I didn’t want to interrupt you guys.”
Quincy and Saydie both retreated to the door, leaving only the two of them inside.
Maisie stood by the window and looked at him. She knew that he was not pretending to be sick this time. This was because his face was so pale that even his lips had lost their color.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Nolan pulled her wrist and forced her to sit down by the bed.
Looking at him, she said in a low voice, “I don’t like the way you look right now. You look like you’re going to die of illness soon.”
Nolan lifted his hand and helped her to gather her hair at the back of her ears. He then stroked her cheek, and there was a smile in his eyes. “There’s no way I’m going to die with you at my side.”
“Do you really have so much faith in me?” Maisie pressed her face into his coarse and warm palm and laughed derisively, “How embarrassing it would be for me if the new vaccine created by that ‘Strix’ could save you.”
Nolan caressed the scar on her wrist with his thumb and said with a hoary voice, “Yeah. Even your blood would have been wasted.”
She was stunned. “How did you know about that?”
“Why don’t you give it a guess?” He looked at her. :
Maisie pressed her lips tightly and did not say anything.
Who else could it be?
Nolan would certainly be suspicious when he saw those medicines on the bedside table that night. Even if she refused to tell him, she was confident he would look into it himself. Thus, she was pretty sure that it was Erwin who had told him.
Nolan wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to his chest. Then, he placed his chin on the top of her head and asked, “Were you not afraid?”
Maisie lifted her eyes and said, “Were you afraid when you took the bullet for me three years ago? If you are not, then why should I?”
Nolan released her and put his arms around her waist. He lowered his head and met her clear gaze. He did not know what he should at all,
“You really are the most stubborn woman I’ve over mel,” he commented
Maisie chuckled when she heard his comment. While playing with his collar, she then said, “I met Sue when I was coming here, and tested her.”
Nolan narrowed his eyes and asked, “So what did you get?”
“She knows the original Sue’ She knows that she’s in Luxella,” Maisie squinted her eyes and smiled lightly. She was worried that im ask more questions, so she left in a hurry.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 553
Sue had said she couldn’t remember anyone and things that happened before the accident. However, she still remembered that she had worked in Luxella before. Just what kind of accident had she gotten herself into that required her to change her appearance?
She wasn’t Sue. Even if she went over her back and got herself plastic surgery, she did not look like Sue completely.
Nolan knew this woman had gotten plastic surgery before. Apparently, there was a probability she had been distigured before getting the plastic surgery, so she had made up the story about the accident and pretended to be “Sue.”
If she knew that the original Sue had worked for Luxella before and was able to disguise herself as her, she must have had a good relationship with the original Sue.
Therefore, they just needed to investigate who the original Sue had come in contact with three years ago, and everything would become clear.
Suddenly, something crossed Maisie’s mind, and she said, “I heard Quincy mentioning about the son of the consortium in Yaramoor. He’ s the owner of Luxella right now, so does this mean that this Mr. Hathaway from Yaramoor is Roger’s new milk cow?”
Nolan chuckled at Maisie’s comment and said, “Maybe he’s just doing charity.”
“Why are you so sure about that?” Maisie mumbled.
Nolan lowered his head and wrapped his hand around hers. “He’s from the Hathaways, and his family has a little bit of connection to the Goldmanns.”
“A little bit of connection?”
Nolan smiled. “My grandmother is one of the Hathaways.”
Maisie was taken aback.
‘Nolan’s grandmother is one of the Hathaways!?’
She had heard about most of the people in the Goldmanns, but this was the first time Nolan mentioned his grandmother.
That being said, if he did not want to talk about her, she wouldn’t ask about it either.
In just two days, the media knew about Nolan’s condition. All of them flocked to the hospital and wanted to know if the vaccine was working or not.
There were also a lot of reporters gathered outside the Stoslo’s Parliament Building. However, the netizens and the public were infuriated by the nonchalant explanation given by the person who came out.
Besides, the public was suspicious of the vaccines developed by “Strix”, and his reputation was at stake.
“Mr. Kestner, didn’t you say the vaccines are fine?” A man’s voice echoed from the study room.
Adrian was smoking in front of the window, taking a drag on the cigarette while blowing the smoke out of the window. Without turning around to face the few men, he said, “My vaccines are fine.”
After that, he slowly turned his body sideways and looked at them. “But they can only prevent the virus from spreading.”
“What do you mean?” A man asked, “Mr. Roger depends on your vaccines to get a chance to turn the tables. Mr. Goldmann is one of th infected patients, and the media are all over him now.”
Adrian tapped the ash into the ashtray and said, “The vaccine won’t work on him. He’s beyond saving. If you don’t trust me, we can ca off our cooperation.”
“Adrian!” The man walked up to the desk, placed his hands on top of the desk, and hissed angrily, “You have to convince the public tha you can eradicate the virus, no matter what you do. This is what Mr. Roger said!”
Adrian did not say anything. He just crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
After they left, Adrian looked at the bookshelf and said, “They’re gone.”
The man that was behind the bookshelf removed his hat. The exclusive Metropolis Ouroboros emblem on his tie flashed from dark to Light until he was standing a step from the window where the light was cast on the floor.
‘It truly surprises me that you’re still holding down the fort.” Sitting on the chair, Adrian said, “I’m not like you. You obviously have the ability, but you quit for a woman. You wouldn’t show up if I didn’t use this method, correct?”
I quit because I failed as well back then,” Strix said as he took a seat at the side. “How much money did Roger give you?”
I didn’t take his money.”
Adrian took out another cigarette, but he did not light it up. “I know what he was looking for in me. The reason I said yes to him was just co lure you out. Strix, we can work together, just like before.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 554
“You want the antibodies from me, right?” Strix said expressionlessly.
Adrian was stumped, and an expression of embarrassment appeared on his face after Strix saw through his intention. However, he did not say anything in return.
Strix stood up and walked up to the desk. He placed both his hands on the top of the desk and said, “I can give you the antibodies, but you need to promise me one thing.”
Sue was outside of the study room. When she was about to knock on the door, she heard the conversation inside the study room and was shocked. ‘The real Strix is Henry from the Metropolis? He has the antibodies that can cure Nolan!?’
Sue’s face was getting darker and darker with each passing second. A cold smirk appeared on the corner of her lips as if she had thought of something.
‘Heaven will always leave a way out. If I can get my hands on the antibodies and save Nolan, I can be with him openly!’ 1
Maisie came to the apartment the fire had started three years ago. This apartment was situated in the
residential area on Ambergate Street, and most of the people that lived here were from Eurasia. The apartment building had been refurbished, but that apartment had been turned into a utility room because someone died in the fire. Maisie found the landlord and asked, “Did Ms.
Reynolds, who lived in that apartment, have any previous contact with anyone? Like a friend or something like that.”
The landlord thought for a moment and replied, “Yes. Now that you mention it, I remember that Sue had brought a disfigured woman back here. The woman would rarely leave the apartment, and even if she came out sometimes, she’d wrap her face up tightly.”
Maisie lowered her head and asked, “Do you have any impression of that woman?”
The landlord thought for a moment and shook his head. “Not really. It has been so long, and I haven’t seen her face before. All I know is that she’s tall, and I think she’s from Eurasia too? I’m not sure about her origin.”
Maisie stayed in the corridor even after the landlord left. After the fire, this apartment had become the utility room, so only the corridor had been painted, but the ceiling was still blackened with smoke.
Disfigured face, wrapped her face up tightly, possibly someone from Eurasia, the fire happened three years ago, Sue was killed in the fire, and the woman became
Sue…’
Maisie narrowed her eyes. ‘Did she steal Sue’s identity because she doesn’t want anyone to know that Sue is dead, or does she need to use Sue’s identity to hide her own?’
Maisie came out of the apartment building and went back into the car.
Saydie, who was waiting for her in the car, turned her head around and asked, “Did you find anything, miss?” Maisie shook her head.
Suddenly, she received a text message from Erwin.
Erwin told her that the new vaccine had been created, and he would send someone to give it to her tomorrow.
She replied: (Okay.)
Maisie headed to the hospital. When she arrived at the ward and was about to push the door, she heard Sue’s voice from inside and looked into the ward. Other than Sue, Titus was in the ward as well.
“Nolan, Mr. Salazar has successfully developed a new vaccine. As long as you use the vaccine, you will be cured.”
After that, Titus asked Sue, “Ms. Reynolds, did Mr. Salazar tell you when the vaccine will arrive?” Sue smiled and replied, “Tomorrow.”
Maisie was stunned, and her face turned grim.
When Sue and Titus came out of the ward, he turned to her and said, “Ms. Reynolds, thank you so much for your hard work these days. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. The Goldmanns will do everything to help you.”
Sue smiled. “Elder Master Goldmann, thank you. I accept your kindness, but you don’t have to do that. I just want to help Mr. Goldmann, that’s all.”
Titus was stunned. He understood what she wanted, but he couldn’t intervene in Nolan’s matters anymore.” Alright, then.”
After Titus left. Sue walked to the other side of the corridor. She took out her phone and made a call.” Help me to tell Mr. Roger. I already know who Mr. Henry from the Metropolis is. He’s Strix.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 555
The person on the other side of the phone said something, and Sue replied, “Adrian has no intention of helping Mr. Roger at all. I’m the only one who can help him. As long as I get my hands on Strix’s vaccine and save Nolan, the public will be convinced that the vaccine actually works. It’s up to you whether you’re willing to make the deal or not now.”
Alter Sue hung up the call, she left the corridor. At the same time. Saydie emerged through the emergency exit and looked at the figure that walked into the ward with a cold face.
Maisie was sitting inside the car. She left the window hall-open and looked outside.
Alter Saydie came out of the hospital, she entered the car. Maisie asked, “She hasn’t let yet?”
“Not yet,” Saydie replied.
Maisie lowered her head. Although she knew that Nolan was just pretending to be interested in Sue to give her the wrong impression she would have a chance, she felt Sue had stayed in the ward for too long,
Could it be that she refuses to leave? They are the only ones in the ward right now. If she can’t hold herself and pounce on Nolan, will he be able to push her away in his weakened state?’
The more Maisie thought about it, the darker her face became.”
“Miss, Sue already knows Mr. Henry’s identity.”
Maisie was pulled back from her thoughts when she heard what Saydie said. “How did she learn that?”
“Sue was calling Roger’s people just now. She told him that she knows Mr. Henry is Strix, he already has developed the new vaccine, and she wants the vaccine. It seems to me that something will happen
tomorrow.”
Maisie sank into thought. She didn’t expect to unearth such a scheme when she left Saydie behind.
It was only then the scale dropped before Maisie’s eyes. No wonder she would tell Titus that the vaccine would arrive tomorrow. It turned out that she was going to snatch Strix’s vaccine.
The corner of Maisie’s lips curled up, and she said,” Since she wants the vaccine so much, I’ll give her a chance.”
The following day, at the customs checkpoint…
A black-clad man holding a silver, white briefcase came out of the customs checkpoint and handed the briefcase to three bodyguards standing in front of the car.
The bodyguards then got into the car with the briefcase, and the black car drove away slowly.
When the car was heading toward Adrian’s residence on the rural highway, they were stopped by several cars.
A group of black-clad men walked up and forced their car to a halt. When they got out of the car, they held them with guns on their heads in front of the car.
A man went forward and took the briefcase away. He opened up the briefcase, and he only closed it up after seeing the green curved tube placed inside.
He returned to the car and handed the briefcase to Sue. “If you can help Prince Roger, he will reward you handsomely.”
Sue took a look at the item inside the briefcase and smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s time to witness some miracles.”
At the Easton Estate…
Saydie informed Maisie that Roger’s people had snatched the vaccine, and Sue took it and gave it to Nolan.
Maisie put the cup down and said, “This has been bothering me for some time. She’s so eager to get this opportunity to gain the Goldmanns’ trust. It seems to me that.”
Before she could finish her sentence, something suddenly flitted across her brain.
‘Why is this woman so eager to get the Goldmanns’ trust and even get close to Nolan?’
Initially, she had not thought much about Sue’s intention of getting close to Nolan, but now, her intention seemed a bit obvious.
She was coming for the Goldmanns.
She was so eager to get the vaccine to save Nolan, and she had taken the bait after Nolan showed her some affection.
Sue and Nolan did not know each other. There was no way a woman would do something like this for a man she had just met.
Maisie grabbed the cup tightly as the cloud in her mind finally cleared. She laughed and said, “So it’s her!”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 556
“What? The vaccine was snatched?” Adrian grasped the bodyguard’s shoulder, and his expression changed drastically. “Who snatched it from you?”
The bodyguard lowered his head. “It’s the prince’s men.”
Adrian let go of him, walked back to the desk, gritted his molars, and listened to the bodyguard as he continued to explain how they had gotten stopped when they were on their way back. There were many of them, all of them with guns, and their target was the suitcase.
Adrian picked up a cigarette packet and smacked it against his palm, but it was already empty, so he slammed the packet to the floor.” D*mn it!”
‘We finally got our hands on Strix’s vaccine for our research, but Roger’s men snatched it!’ He knew that Strix had come up with two top-notch antibodies back then, and those two antibodies could control the condition of patients who were infected by the sleeper virus. Of course, it could only help patients in the middle stage of the infection.
Those two antibodies contained genetic factors that could isolate the infected cells. Although the probability was very small, great discoveries might follow this.
He could not wait to obtain that vaccine for research, but he was robbed at such a critical moment. How could he not be frustrated?
Jones appeared outside the door at this exact moment. “Uncle.”
Adrian raised his head to look at him as Jones asked him happily. “I heard that you’ve developed a new vaccine?”
“From whom did you hear that?” Adrian frowned.
Jones was astonished and puzzled. “Didn’t you ask Sue to deliver the vaccine to the hospital? All the reporters have their eyes fixed on this matter.”
At the hospital…
Nolan gradually regained consciousness after the doctor injected the new vaccine. Titus, Quincy, and Wayion were standing by his bed.
Titus asked excitedly the moment he saw Nolan open his eyes, “Nolan, how do you feel?”
“I feel fine.” Nolan sat up slowly while Quincy supported him.
The doctor and Sue came in from outside the ward, and Sue stepped forward with a smile. “Mr. Goldmann, the doctor said that the spreading of the virus in your body has slowed down. It seems that the vaccine is really effective.”
Titus took a glance at the doctor, and the doctor nodded. “The vaccine that Mr. Goldmann got this time has a very stable saturation. The spreading of the virus in Mr. Goldmann’s body has slowed down, and the effect of the vaccine looks very promising.”
Titus laughed. “That’s great, Ms. Reynolds. You and Mr. Salazar have done a great job!”
“You’re flattering me, Elder Master Goldmann.” Sue smiled implicitly,
‘Sure enough, it’s the right decision to cooperate with Prince Roger. The vaccine really works.
‘Hmph, now that Grandpa values me more as the days go by, it’s just a matter of time for me to win Nolan over.’
Wayion left the ward with Titus. He looked back at Sue coldly when he was at the door, broke free from Titus’ hand, and left the scene.
Titus was startled. “You little brat, where do you think you’re going?”
“I’m going to find Mommy.” Wayion did not even look back.
Titus could not say anything, so he took a look at the bodyguards behind him, and the two bodyguards caught up to Wayion immediately.
Quincy also left, leaving only Nolan and Sue in the ward. His gaze landed on Sue’s feet. “Are you wearing high heels?”
Sue was taken aback and tucked the hair hovering over her cheeks behind her ears. “Yes, I haven’t worn high heels in a very long time. I’ m still not very used to it.”
Nolan looked away, picked up the newspaper on the table, and asked, “Can you make snacks, Ms.
Reynolds?”
Seeing that he wanted to eat snacks, Sue was indulged in the marked attention that Nolan was giving her. She did not even think about it before replying with a grin, “Yes, I can make some for you if you want to eat snacks.”
She then left the ward.
Nolan closed the newspaper as his eyes dimmed.
Quincy returned to the ward after Sue’s departure. “Mr. Goldmann, is that vaccine really working?”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 557
Nolan lifted his head. “This is Strix’s vaccine. Even if it doesn’t work, at least it won’t kill me.”
Quincy was bewildered as if he was guessing which” Strix” Nolan was referring to.
“You should’ve prepared for the press conference that’s going to take place in two days, shouldn’t you?” Nolan asked.
Quincy returned to his senses. “Yes.”
Nolan smiled as he folded the newspaper and then looked out of the window coldly. “That should be very interesting.”
At the press conference two days later…
The reporters and media outlets that were present were looking forward to this moment.
After all, if the vaccine had cured Nolan, it would be a miracle in the history of the medical world.
The sleeper virus had swept across Stoslo in the past, causing many deaths. After the fall of the Kents, the news about the fake vaccines had made the public even more exasperated.
A man-made disaster had almost dragged the entire Stoslo into hell, and the vaccine that Strix had developed back then, which could control the spread of the virus, was already very powerful.
Nolan was sitting in a wheelchair and was being pushed by Quincy, and both of them appeared in front of the media.
The woman standing next to him was Sue, an apprentice of “Strix” who had been appearing on the news rather frequently in recent days
The reporters scrambled to start the interview. “Mr. Goldmann, it’s reported that you’ve been infected with the sleeper virus, and you’re the only person in the world who’s infected with this mutated strain of the virus. How do you feel after getting vaccinated?”
“Mr. Goldmann, is the vaccine effective? Can it really cure the sleeper virus?” Nolan’s facial features gradually became clear under the bright flashes of the cameras. He was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a dark suit, and the collar of his shirt was tall enough to cover his Adam’s apple.
He looked handsome, graceful, and did not look like a person who was infected by a virus.
Nolan clasped his hands together by intertwining the ten delicate, pale knuckles, then placed them on his thighs. In the next instant, a wide smile appeared on his emotionless face. “The vaccine is indeed effective.”
All the reporters were surprised and excited upon hearing this.
When the reporter asked if the vaccine was fake, Sue gave off a smile and answered the reporter’s incisive question, “The vaccine developed by my teacher would never be fake. It’s all thanks to my teacher that Mr. Goldmann has a chance to recover this time around.”
One of the reporters asked, “Since Mr. Salazar is your teacher, can you ask him to come forward for an interview?”
Sue’s expression looked a little stiff, but she responded without giving off any emotional fluctuation through her expression, “My teacher is focusing on studying the vaccine now. I’m afraid that he won’t be accepting any interviews, so please-”
The doors of the hall were suddenly opened, and the silhouette that appeared on the floor all of a sudden gradually elongated under the light.
Everyone present stopped every single task on hand and looked in the direction of the door.
A few bodyguards followed the middle-aged man who entered the room.
“Why is Mr. Henry here?”
“This is Mr. Henry of the Metropolis. He rarely appears in front of the public, but he actually shows up here?” The reporters were all , surprised.
Mr. Henry was the head of the Metropolis of Morwich, and the royal family of Morwich highly valued him. Considering his financial status, reputation, and influence, he was on a par with the nobles.
When Sue saw him, there was a subtle change in her expression. This was not her first time dealing with a member of the Metropolis-she knew exactly how difficult it was for them to handle the Metropolis.
‘Not even Roger dares to make a rash move on the Metropolis, not to mention that his daughter defeated Daniel.
I’ve read the news before this. His daughter, Alice Henry, was courting Nolan back then but was indifferently rejected by Nolan. I guess it was because of Maisie’s presence. ‘But so what if Maisie is still alive? Even if she’s Hernandez de Arma’s granddaughter, the de Armas can’t even protect themselves now as Hernandez is still nowhere to be found, and his whereabouts are unknown. Besides that, Nolan has divorced her. What ground does she have when it comes to fighting over Nolan with me?’
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 558
“I’m the one who brought the vaccine and saved Nolan. Grandpa will only value me more now. As long as Nolan and Grandpa are on my
side, I won’t have to be afraid even if Adrian comes through that door!’
Nolan, who had been sitting in the wheelchair, stood up slowly, and everyone present was shocked.
Everyone had heard that he was originally on the verge of death and could only rely on a wheelchair to move around.
‘He can stand up now?
Could it be that the vaccine really works? Does it actually help a person who’s already dying recover so quickly?’
Strix stopped before him while Nolan smiled and stretched out his hand. “It’s nice to see you, Mr. Salazar.”
‘Strix Salazar!?’
The reporters were all stunned.
“Mr. Henry is Strix Salazar?”
“Oh my God! This news is too explosive!”
Sue was dumbfounded, and her gaze was fixed on Nolan.
“How does he know that Mr. Henry is Strix!?’
Strix shook hands with Nolan. “I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Goldmann, and I’ve always wanted to meet you. You truly are a young and talented man, no wonder Alice is so obsessed with you.”
Nolan turned to look at Sue with a smile on his lips.” Isn’t Mr. Salazar your teacher? Thank you so much for arranging this meeting with your teacher.”
Sue’s face changed slightly, and all the cameras were aimed at her. She was Strix’s apprentice, and she had used the vaccine to save Nolan-this had made her the other center of attention of tonight’s press conference.
Strix took a look at Sue. “I’ve never accepted any apprentice. If you’re talking about an apprenticeship, you should be my junior, Adrian Kestner’s apprentice, shouldn’t you?”
Strix’s words stunned all the reporters.
‘Isn’t she Strix’s apprentice?’
Sue clenched her hands tightly beside her, and her facial complexion could not help but turn pale. She still did not understand why Strix would appear here?!
‘No, I can’t allow anyone to suspect me!’
She looked at Strix and said with a smile, “My teacher i s indeed Adrian Kestner, but he’s using your name to force you into stepping forward. I could only play along with my teacher. Nowtake a look at this, the huge name that had gone off the grid has finally reappeared.”
After saying so, she walked to Nolan’s side. “Mr. Goldmann, I’m sorry, I did hide the fact from you. However, helping you has always been my teacher’s true intention. I’m also very glad now that he’s able to help you.”
‘Nolan has at least recovered from the virus infection. No matter whether I’m Strix Salazar’s apprentice or Adrian Kestner’s apprentice, at least this vaccine is useful to him.’
Sure enough, the reporters did not care whose apprentice she was-their focus was only on the results of the vaccine.
Even though Adrian had used Strix’s name to force Strix to reappear, the vaccine was working, and that was what mattered.
Unexpectedly, two people dashed in through the door in a hurry-Adrian and Jones. “Okay, it turns out that it was you who worked with Prince Roger to steal my vaccine!” Adrian’s words
were directed at Sue as he stepped forward angrily.” Sue Reynolds, you’re my apprentice, and I trusted you so much. How dare you betray me?”
“Teacher, why would I betray you? I only wanted to save Mr. Goldmann on your behalf. What’s more, the vaccine that Mr. Goldmann used was given to you by Mr. Salazar. Now that Mr. Goldmann has recovered, this is good news.”
Sue’s nails were on the brink of piercing into the palm of her hand, but she still sounded logical and reasonable.
Adrian himself could not figure out a cure for Nolan, but Strix’s vaccine was useful. Thus, no matter who she flattered tonight, the reporters had witnessed a medical miracle, proving that Strix’s vaccine was effective.
Adrian did not seem to have expected Sue to say that. His expression gradually turned gloomy upon thinking that she had betrayed him and conspired with Roger to snatch the vaccine away from him in order to win merit and honor in front of the public.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 559
Adrian snorted. “Strix gave me that vaccine for research purposes. It can’t cure Nolan Goldmann as he’s infected with a new type of sleeper virus, which has no incubation period.
“Plus, the vaccine I got from Strix is the one that was developed more than ten years ago, and it would only be useful to people who are infected with the ordinary sleeper virus. You know nothing about the virus nor the vaccine, and you have the guts to use it on him?”
Sue shuddered, and the people around them seemed to have frozen, and even half of their voices had disappeared.
Adrian then looked at the group of reporters. “Why are we studying antibodies? The vaccine developed by the Kents aimed to achieve an anti-cancer effect and improve human genes through the virus to prevent certain diseases.
“It’s an idea that has a glorious objective, but unfortunately, the Kents had failed, causing the worst catastrophe that the human population has ever faced back then. The things we study are the same as those that the Kents studied at the very beginning. The only difference that separates us from the Kents is that we’ll never use anyone for a human trial.”
Adrian turned to look at Sue upon saying that. “You’ve been following me and learning from me for three
years, and you don’t even understand this?”
The reporters whispered to each other.
After the Kents’ virus research had been exposed, the public only thought of the disaster that took place back then. Most of them even panicked, fearing that the catastrophe would happen again that was why Nolan’s infection and the effect of the vaccine were of great importance to the public.
A reporter asked Strix. “Mr. Salazar, is that vaccine really useless to Mr. Goldmann?”
Strix shook his head.
A huge clamor rose amongst the reporters.
Nolan started coughing again, and he coughed very severely this time around.
Quincy supported him immediately.
However, blood could soon be seen spilling through the seams of his fingers.
The reporters were all frightened, and the guards on standby at the perimeter of the press conference could only step forward to disperse them. “Stop taking pictures already! This is the end of today’s press conference!”
Sue froze in place. Her face looked as pale as paper as she looked at Nolan coughing up blood continuously.
“How could this be?’ “The side effects of that vaccine are severe! Take him to the hospital now!” Strix said to Quincy anxiously.
Quincy nodded and supported Nolan while they left the scene with the others.
Strix left the scene too.
Adrian and Jones ignored Sue and caught up to them too.
In the hospital…
Nolan was sent to the Intensive Care Unit. No one else was allowed to enter except for Adrian and Strix.
After Titus learned about the situation from Quincy, he slumped on the bench. “How could this be…”
He trusted Sue so wholeheartedly that he had asked her to inject the vaccine into Nolan. Unexpectedly, not only did the vaccine not work, but it even had powerful side effects.
I’ve brought harm to my own grandson!’
Sue hurried over but was stopped in the corridor, so she could only look at Titus and said, “Elder Master Goldmann, I really didn’t means to harm Mr. Goldmann!
I only wanted to save him!”
“That’s enough!”
Titus was already in an irritable mood because he had been deceived, and Nolan had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit directly because he chose to believe in Sue’s words without any hesitation.
Looking at Sue now, he was even more piqued. “I trusted you so much, and this is what you do to us in return? I’ll never let this slide if anything happens to my grandson. Now get out of my sight!”
Sue froze in place.
“How did things turn out like this?
‘l obviously overheard the conversation between Strix and Adrian! I had a great chance of success as long as I got my hands on that vaccine!
She felt powerless.
‘Where the hell did all things go south?’
Maisie appeared in the corridor with Wayion and Erwin. Sue was taken aback when she saw the silver suitcase that Erwin was holding.

‘What’s going on? The bodyguards actually let them through!?’
Strix came out of the Intensive Care Unit in protective clothing. “Have you brought it?”
Erwin handed the silver suitcase to Strix, and Titus stood up slowly and looked at them. “Can… Can this save Nolan?”
Strix took the suitcase. “As long as Elder Master Goldmann is willing to believe in it.”
Titus did not say anything. After all the vaccine he had allowed Sue to administer to Nolan had almost killed Nolan once. However, at this point, he had to believe in him even if he did not want to.
Strix went into the Intensive Care Unit with the suitcase.
Sue, who the bodyguards stopped, shouted at Maisie and Erwin, “This is a scheme that you’ve set up, isn’t i t!?”
‘It must be their scheme! I’ve snatched the vaccine! How could there still be an identical thing!? This must be their scheme!’
Maisie turned around slowly and glanced at Sue. A smile then appeared on the corners of her lips. “What scheme are you talking about?
Sue gnashed her teeth. “Strix has only developed one type of vaccine, but you have two vials! You gave me the fake one!”
“Now that things have spiraled out of my control, I don’t care about anything anymore. Since the vaccine that I got is useless, the vaccine is fake. And all this is part of their scheme!’
Maisie smirked. “Who told you that there’s only one vaccine?”
Sure was unable to speak as if something was stuck in her throat.
“The vaccine that you and Roger teamed up to snatch is the vaccine Strix developed years ago. That vaccine can indeed cure the sleeper virus, but it targets only the ordinary sleeper virus infections that have only displayed mid-term symptoms.”
Maisie looked at her and said calmly, “Aren’t you Adrian’s apprentice? You’ve even drawn Nolan’s blood for further testing. Adrian is a professional in this field, so he should have realized that Nolan’s intection doesn’t come from the ordinary sleeper virus, shouldn’t he?”
Sue’s face paled gradually.
‘Adrian did say that Nolan isn’t infected by the ordinary sleeper virus, but I…’
“Ms. Reynolds, you should’ve only known Nolan for a short amount of time, right? Why are you anxious
about Nolan’s wellbeing?”
Maisie stared at her, wishing to tear her disguise apart. “Don’t tell me that the both of you have known each other for a long time, and you know Nolan and the Goldmanns very well. Are you planning to use this opportunity to gain the Goldmanns’ approval?”
Titus’s gaze shifted onto Sue’s body when he heard that statement. Nobody knew what he was thinking.
There was obviously a trace of panic on Sue’s emotionless face. “I… I fancy Mr. Goldmann, so what’s wrong with me worrying about him? Besides that, you and Mr. Goldmann are divorced. What gives you the right to prohibit other women from courting him?”
“Then go for it.” Maisie scoffed and rubbed Wayion’s head. “Mr. Goldmann has three children. If you want to get together with him, you should first obtain the children’s consent.”
Wayion, who was standing beside her, snorted. “She doesn’t deserve to be our mommy.”
Sue trembled from head to toe as she glared at Maisie hatefully.
‘Why didn’t this b*tch die? Why didn’t she die three years ago!?’
Time slipped by silently…
Titus was sitting on the bench. His clasped palms were already sweating profusely until Strix and Adrian came out of the Intensive Care Unit.
All eyes were on them.
Titus stood up in a trance. “How is it?” Strix removed his mask. “It’ll take some time to observe him. It depends on his willpower now.”
Titus stumbled and was supported by Quincy. He was still in a daze after sitting down.
Strix asked Maisie out to the corridor alone.
Maisie looked at him. “Dad, will the vaccine that he got before this affect him?”
