Chapter 1065

“Gloria!” Adrian was sharp-eyed and quickly caught Gloria to support her. Propping up her head with her hands, Gloria looked at Adrian with agony in her eyes. “It hurts. My head hurts. It hurts so bad,” she said distressfully and burst into tears. Gloria had always been strong and could endure levels of pain that many people could not. Judging by her reaction, Adrian could tell how much pain she was in. He scooped her into his arms and put her in the car. He asked, “Have you been taking the antibody-drug conjugate for the cell mutation over the past few days?” Gloria nodded. “Yes!” It seemed like the drug was no longer effective. Adrian inhaled a deep breath and pulled out his phone to make a call. The call was made to Winslow’s team, and it was quickly picked up. “Hello, who’s calling?” “This is Draco. Get Winslow on the line,” said Adrian. “Yes, sir.” It did not take long before Winslow’s anxious voice was heard coming from the other end. “Why do you sound so urgent, War Legate Draco? What’s the matter?” Adrian glanced at Gloria lying in the car seat with her agonizing headache. “Gloria is having a severe headache right now. I suspect that her cell mutation had accelerated. Have you completed the antibody study?” “What did you say?” Winslow was astonished. “It’s two full months ahead of my prediction. I was under the assumption that it’d only progress to this stage three months from now. Why is this happening?” Adrian said in rage, “Stop with the f*cking nonsense! Wyvern Peak was sent to the island for you to conduct your studies. Have you produced the medicine yet?” Winslow said, “Please calm down, sir. I still need some time to develop the antibody medicine. We need to treat Ms. Gloria’s current condition for the time being. Send her to the nearest hospital now, and I’ll get in touch with the doctors there to prescribe some medicine to temporarily relieve Ms. Gloria’s symptoms.” Adrian inhaled a deep breath and quickly brought Gloria to Swallowston Hospital. She was sent into treatment to receive a series of examinations as Winslow reached out to the hospital to perform a long-distance consultation. They bustled about for a full day until Gloria was stabilized. Gloria slept in her bed as Adrian sat next to her, watching over her. His heart was wracked with pain. At the thought of a woman as strong as Gloria in tears due to pain, he wondered how much pain she had been in. But there was nothing he could do for her. Suddenly, Gloria’s phone rang. Gracia was calling. Adrian picked up the phone and answered the call. “Hey, Gracia.” In an anxious voice, Gracia asked, “How’s Gloria?” Adrian sent a text to Gracia when Gloria fell ill. He figured that Gracia was calling because she had read his message. He said, “She’s asleep.” “Take good care of her. I’ll be there by midnight,” said Gracia. Upon saying that, she hung up and boarded a plane. She would be traveling to Swallowston overnight. Adrian put down the phone and took a few deep breaths. He appeared worse for wear at this very moment.
