Ch. 353: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 353

Chapter 353

"When Kevin gets enough rest, he’ll wake up," Calvin said calmly, showing no urgency.

Bianca glanced at Calvin, her worry evident. "This medicine—does it have any side effects? Will there be any lasting damage?"

Calvin hesitated for a moment, as if deciding how to respond.

Just then, Kevin stirred. His fingers twitched slightly, drawing Bianca’s full attention. Her heart leaped with joy.

"Kevin!"

She gently shook him. "Are you feeling better?"

She hoped he was okay. She wasn’t certain. Medicine wasn’t her expertise, but she trusted her father to have a solution.

Kevin groaned, his head pounding. Slowly, he opened his eyes and blinked, his gaze locking onto Bianca’s face.

"Kevin, it’s me, Bianca. Are you alright?" she asked, her voice laced with worry.

Kevin sat up. The moment he moved, the armed men surrounding him raised their guns, aiming directly at him.

Still uneasy, Kevin scanned the room.

Bianca stepped forward defensively. "What are you doing? Put those guns down! He’s my boyfriend—my future husband! Show some respect!"

The men, loyal to Calvin, hesitated but lowered their weapons.

Kevin stayed silent, his expression unreadable. Calvin studied him with interest. "Kevin, do you know who I am?"

Kevin’s eyes narrowed as he replied, "You managed to escape prison, keep your loyal followers close, and slip under the police radar. Impressive."

Calvin chuckled. "It’s not easy earning obedience."

Kevin adjusted his posture and spoke with an indifferent tone. "But you still want Archer gone, don’t you? I’ve already taken care of that for you. Consider it a gift."

Calvin’s grin widened. "Good! I never thought we’d end up cooperating."

Kevin’s eyes glinted with a sharp edge. "Cooperation depends on what’s in it for me. What can you offer?"

Calvin gestured to Bianca with a sly smile. "I’ve already given you my daughter. Isn’t that enough?"

Kevin glanced at Bianca briefly before smirking. "Love is one thing, profit another. I’m not interested in losing out."

Calvin stood and spread his arms, gesturing to the laboratory. "Take a good look. Everything here is for you to see. This should prove I’m serious. With you in white and me in black, we’d be unstoppable."

Kevin’s gaze swept the room. He stood, triggering the guards to tighten their grip on their weapons. Calvin raised a hand, signaling them to back off.

Kevin walked over, his expression darkening as he observed the lab. Mutated rats scurried in cages, and frenzied orangutans thrashed in confinement. But what shocked him most were the human organs preserved in solution.

Calvin, clearly proud, watched Kevin’s reaction. "What do you think? This is my masterpiece."

Kevin studied the rows of potions, trying to discern their purpose.

Bianca stepped closer. "Kevin, my father truly respects you. He knows you’d do anything for me, and he’s acknowledged your worth."

Kevin didn’t reply, instead pointing to a vial. "What’s this?"

"Poison," Bianca said quietly.

Kevin raised an eyebrow. "You dabble in making drugs too?"

Bianca nodded eagerly. "Dad’s learned a lot. He’s really talented."

Kevin’s voice turned cold. "Is there an antidote?"

Calvin pointed to another shelf. "Over there. But good luck figuring out which is which."

Kevin’s lips tightened. "You’re asking for my cooperation?"

Calvin’s expression hardened. "You’re marrying my daughter. That makes us family. Refusing me would be an insult."

His men tensed, ready to draw their weapons.

Bianca’s voice trembled as she pleaded, "Dad, Kevin is on my side. Kevin, please listen to him! He saved you. No one will find out what you’re doing. There’s nothing to worry about."

Kevin examined the potions, his gaze calculating.

"Kevin," Calvin pressed, "what’s your answer?"

Kevin asked evenly, "Where’s the antidote?"

Calvin frowned. "What antidote?"

Kevin’s tone turned icy. "Norah’s antidote."

Calvin’s face darkened. "You’re still thinking about Norah?"

Kevin’s reply was calm but firm. "That’s why I came here in the first place."

Bianca’s voice wavered as she tried to mediate. "Dad, if you give him the antidote, he’ll end things with Norah. Isn’t that what you want?"

Her desperation was clear, her belief in Kevin unshaken.

But Calvin snapped angrily, "If he really cared about you, he wouldn’t even mention another woman!"

The tension in the room escalated as the guards raised their guns again.

Kevin’s gaze didn’t waver. "You’ve kept yourself well hidden, Calvin. How else would I find your lair? All I want is the antidote."

Just then, a guard burst in. "Calvin, there’s a car approaching!"

Calvin’s eyes sharpened. He glared at Kevin. "This was your plan all along, wasn’t it?"

Kevin smirked. "To catch a tiger, you have to enter its den."

Calvin, furious, pulled out a gun and fired. Kevin dived behind the sofa, narrowly escaping the bullet.

"Kevin!" Bianca screamed, throwing herself between him and her father. Her love clouded her judgment.

"Don’t you see?" Calvin roared. "He’s using you!"

Bianca, tears streaming, shook her head. "No! He just wants the antidote. He loves me, Dad—"

Calvin’s anger flared, and he shoved her aside. She hit the ground hard.

Gunshots erupted again as reinforcements swarmed in.

Levi emerged from the arriving vehicle and turned to Norah. "Stay in the car, ma’am. This will be over soon."

Norah nodded nervously, gripping her sleeves as tension filled the air. Her eyes were fixed on the factory, her worry for Kevin growing.
