After deciding to have a second child with Bradley last time, Freya had been monitoring her own body. She found that the aftereffects of the snake gu not only brought her a lot of health problems but also weakened her physical constitution.

What Freya found most difficult to accept was that she might never be able to get pregnant again in her life. In other words, after Xin Yao was sent away, it would be very difficult for her and Bradley to have a second child.

Freya kept all these thoughts to herself and never told anyone. She didn't want to disappoint Bradley, so she chose to hide it.

When the White Fox heard that she wanted something to eat, she quickly ran out to prepare it. A moment later, she came in with a bowl of plain porridge and some noodles.

Freya was extremely hungry. Normally, when she saw food, she would have a good meal. But as soon as she smelled the food, her stomach churned, and in the end, she held her chest and vomited again. Since she hadn't eaten for four days, all that came out was acid water.

The White Fox was heartbroken. She quickly stepped forward to pat Freya on the back. "Boss, don't scare me. The boss I know is so powerful, but how has she become like this now?"

The White Fox couldn't accept Freya's current state. She looked so sickly as if she could collapse at any moment. The most crucial thing was that her face looked so pale. The White Fox was really afraid that the boss would suddenly leave them.

"I'm fine. I'm just too hungry. I'll be okay after a while," Freya said. After vomiting, she took a wet wipe to wipe her mouth and then leaned against the bed, closing her eyes to rest.

After the uncomfortable feeling subsided, she tried to pick up the bowl of porridge and took small sips. Fortunately, the sour feeling in her stomach faded a lot, and she could barely eat something.

When the White Fox saw that she finally stopped vomiting, she started to laugh through her tears. "What else do you want to eat? I'll go and prepare it."

"No need. I'll take a nap," Freya put down the bowl of porridge and then lay down. Excessive physical exhaustion couldn't be easily repaired by any medicine. She could only get better by getting more rest.

Just as she was lying down, Freya suddenly remembered something. She turned her head to look at the White Fox and said, "Go to the room and get Bradley's perfume for me. Spray it on the quilt. I'll feel more comfortable smelling it."

She didn't know when she had gotten used to Bradley's scent and even gradually fallen in love with it. Now, it was a miracle that only this scent could suppress the aftereffects of the snake gu.

As soon as the White Fox went out, she met Xiao Yan who came up and asked anxiously, "How is Madam?"

The White Fox had just cried, and her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was choked with sobs.

"Not very well. The boss's body is too weak," she said feebly and walked towards the corridor.

Although she didn't know what the boss wanted Bradley's perfume for, the White Fox still did as she was told and then sprayed the perfume on the quilt.

Soon, the whole room was filled with a faint mint fragrance. Although the White Fox didn't particularly like this smell, she still felt refreshed when she smelled it.

Freya, breathing in the air mixed with the mint fragrance, gradually curved her lips into a smile and fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side.

Bradley was sent to the ward to rest. The doctors hung an IV drip for him, and then everyone left, leaving only Blue Book in the room.

Having been by Bradley's side for so long, the reason why Blue Book was willing to be loyal to him was that Bradley was a man who valued love and righteousness and would never treat his subordinates badly.

Blue Book had always respected Bradley and was even willing to risk his life for him. He had also witnessed Bradley's love for Freya. So when Chu Tiantian kept pestering him, he had once been tempted. But he knew that once a person had emotions, they would expose their weaknesses.

In order to better protect Bradley, Blue Book chose to give up love and only be loyal to the brotherhood.

But now, seeing Bradley so badly injured because of Freya, Blue Book was a bit confused. The image of Chu Tiantian kept lingering in his mind, and he even wondered if he should live for himself for once.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pick up his phone, open the encrypted text messages, and read them.

All the messages were confessions sent to him by Chu Tiantian. He used to think they were cheesy, but now, Blue Book couldn't help but smile.

Chu Tiantian had been so crazy at that time. But now, she let go so easily and never contacted him again.

Blue Book's heart ached slightly. He even opened those text messages and wanted to reply to them one by one. But after hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to give up.

Forget it. I'm afraid she has already forgotten me. Why should I hold on to this love that has no ending?

Just as he was thinking, the phone rang. It was a message from Ye Lu An.

Blue Book quickly replied. When he heard what the other person said, his face immediately turned pale, and then he left the ward in a hurry.

As soon as he left, a sneaky figure peeked around in the corridor and then disappeared into the infirmary.

...

In Ye Lu Mingshuo's residence.

The shadowy figure looked around. After making sure there was no one following, he quietly pushed the door open and entered.

At the moment, Ye Lu Mingshuo was lying on the bed in a daze. Although his legs allowed him to get out of bed and walk, his body was too weak, and his face was extremely disfigured, so he stayed in his room all day long.

All day long, except for the maids who came in to deliver food and the doctors who came to check his body, Ye Lu Mingshuo didn't want to see anyone.

Of course, the appearance of Cheng Huimin now had rekindled hope in Ye Lu Mingshuo.

"Mother, why are you here?" Ye Lu Mingshuo was a bit surprised when he suddenly saw Cheng Huimin.

Cheng Huimin approached him and said, "I'm here to tell you some good news that will definitely make you feel better."

"What news?" Ye Lu Mingshuo asked eagerly.

Cheng Huimin sneered and said, "I just got the news that last night, Leonard was seriously injured while trying to catch the assassin lurking in the palace. He's still lying in bed now, and his life is uncertain."

Sure enough, when Ye Lu Mingshuo heard this, he sat up from the bed in excitement. "Is it true?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. How could it be false?"

After the incident happened, Cheng Huimin had been secretly observing the situation and also quietly inquiring about some clues.

Not only Bradley but also Freya's situation was not good. It was a pity that despite their serious injuries, the two of them were still safe and sound. This made Cheng Huimin really unwilling.

"What should we do now?" Ye Lu Mingshuo hated Leonard so much that he wished he could die immediately.

While applying medicine to him, Cheng Huimin said, "As soon as Leonard had an accident, his trusted subordinates have been trying to catch the mastermind behind the scenes. If we take action now, we'll easily become their target and even bring about our own deaths."

"So, Mingshuo, even though Leonard is on the verge of death, we can't make any big moves. We have to keep waiting."
