    Chapter 1688


    Sean chuckled as he realized that the girl wasn’t just gutsy and clever but also somewhat formidable in


    her own right.


    “I know my own body pretty well.”


    Even though he had been hitst night, it wasn’t serious enough to cause such severe symptoms.


    Since the girl had described the timing and symptoms so clearly, he was curious to see if things would


    unfold as she had predicted tonight.


    “Excuse us,” Arabe said as she and Horace left with an air of dignity.


    “Sean.”


    Steward was about to question his boss''s decision to let them walk away so freely when he noticed


    Sean''s smile. Didn’t Sean seriously believe that girl’s words?


    “Sean, did you really cough up bloodst night?” Steward asked with genuine concern.


    “It’s nothing.”


    Sean shooed the tiger cub away to y and slowly stood up to head upstairs.


    His answer shocked Steward. So, he really did cough up blood? And the girl predicted it? Was she


    really that miraculous? How could she possibly know with such certainty?

    Thinking it over, it seemed that the two of them were the only ones who could show up at the ce


    unscathed and leave just as peacefully.


    As Horace followed Arabe out of the house, the usually yful hounds all sat down neatly, wagging


    their tails and watching them leave. Their behavior couldn’t have been more obedient.


    Horace could hardly believe it, and even as they left the vi’s front yard, he looked back a few times in


    disbelief.


    The furry little creatures were still sitting quietly, showing no signs of chasing after them.


    “Boss, those dogs didn’t chase us, and neither did the people. You’re incredible,” Henry''s admiration for


    her grew. To leave from Sean’s clutches unscathed and to make those little guys so well-behaved.


    “Oh right, boss, how did you know Sean coughed up bloodst night?”


    “I was the one who hit him; how could I not know?”


    Arabe had struck with considerable force the night before, and with Sean already injured, it was only


    natural for him to cough up blood.


    “Forget about them, I think you’re amazing.” Henry nced back again, lowering his voice to whisper,


    “So, boss, are the symptoms you mentioned really going to happen tonight?”


    “They will.”


    Arabe’s confident reply left Horace even more puzzled, “Sean’s really that badly hurt? It sounds


    pretty grim.”


    “He’s hurt, but not so bad that surgery is immediately necessary.”


    They could even wait another month or two if they had to.


    “But you managed to convince him to have the surgery in the next couple of days and sell you the


    ind,” Henry found his boss to be quite extraordinary.


    “I slipped something into his drink earlier, so tonight, at the times I mentioned, the drug will take effect.”


    He would experience the symptoms she described: breathlessness, choking, coughing up blood, and


    so on.


    “You did what?!” Henry’s eyes bulged, and he quickly looked back to make sure no one was following


    before whispering, “Boss, you actually drugged their leader right in front of them? You’re so bold. But if


    those doctors find out tonight.”


    “What of it? Without the antidote, they''ll have toe to us.”

    “But Sean is no pushover. If he finds out we yed him like this, even after the surgery, we’re not going


    to escape so easily.”


    “When the timees, I’ll find a way out.”


    Henry hadn’t realized his boss had an escape n all figured out, and his admiration for her deepened.
