Chapter 177

Coughing Up Blood Maverick furrowed his brows and glared at Elven.

His dark eyes were filled with an icy chill.

“Did you just say that Gwendolyn went to the police station last night?” Elven was particularly unlucky.

It was William who had asked the police from the station to call him, saying that they should keep the
news from Maverick for now, so he could recover from his injuries.

However, they ended up getting caught red-handed.

“Mr. Wright, don’t worry.

Mr. Harris is there with Ms. Shalders, so she won’t fall into a disadvantage.

I guess she’ll be released by noon after taking a simple statement.

” How can I possibly be at ease? She spent the night at the police station yesterday, and it’s so cold
inside.

I bet she couldn’t sleep well at all.

Elven stopped him when he was about to turn around and go downstairs.

“Mr. Wright, you can’t be discharged yet.

The doctor mentioned that it was not simply concentrated sulfuric acid that was splashed on your body
this time.

They need to run some chemical analysis, and you need to stay in the hospital for observation.

” Maverick ignored Elven.



After taking a few steps, suddenly, he felt something well up in his chest, resulting in a sweet and
metallic taste in his throat.

He coughed twice while covering his mouth.

There was some blood on his fist.

His original pale lips were also tainted with a small circle of bright red.

Upon seeing Maverick cough up blood, Elven was in extreme shock.

He hurriedly supported him by the arm back to the ward before turning to look for a doctor.

Maverick stopped him as he said, “I’m fine.

There’s no need to make a fuss.

” “You’re coughing up blood! How can this possibly be a trivial matter? We need to find a doctor and get
a thorough medical examination again.

” Maverick grabbed him and emphasized, “It’s really nothing serious.

I didn’t cough up blood.

I just bit my tongue accidentally because I was too anxious.

Don’t make a big deal out of this by telling Gwendolyn.

She already has a lot of unresolved issues on her end, and I don’t want to increase her burden.

” “Really? Are you sure you just bit your tongue?” Elven was a bit skeptical.

Maverick nodded calmly.



Seeing that Elven was wavering, he said, “I’m a bit hungry.

Could you help me get some oatmeal and bring it up for me?” “The hospital cafeteria should have it.

I’ll ask the nurse to bring it over for you.

” Elven was about to press the call button by the bed when Maverick stopped him.

“I don’t want to eat the food from the hospital.

I’d rather have something from Dunearn Hotel next door.

I’m sorry to trouble you, but could you please make a trip there?” “That’s…” Elven was slightly hesitant.

He was concerned that Maverick would be left alone after he went out, and Ezra had gone to help deal
with matters concerning Gwendolyn.

Maverick noticed Elven’s concern.

He smiled at him with his pale face.

“Don’t worry.

I won’t go anywhere.

I know Gwendolyn has Treyton by her side, and Asher will help her too.

I’ll stay in the hospital and not get involved in the matter.

” “All right, then.

” Maverick ordered a few more food for his breakfast and requested all the food to be freshly made.



Elven had no doubts, but he still felt a little worried.

Before leaving, he gave Maverick a few more words of reminder.

Maverick nodded calmly, but his hands that were hidden under his sleeves clenched tightly with his
veins bulging.

It wasn’t until Elven had left that he quickly rushed to the small private bathroom attached to the VIP
ward and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Maverick felt dizzy, but he managed to support himself with the sink to prevent himself from fainting on
the spot.

Even though he was injected with the special drug, the concentrated sulfuric acid should have only
caused corrosive burns on his skin.

It should not have affected his body.

He took off his shirt and unwrapped the bandage from his back.

When observing the wound on his back through the mirror, he could see that it still looked ghastly red
despite having applied medicine and it was still festering.

A hint of complexity flashed across Maverick’s eyes.

This is… He wiped the blood from his lips and put on his shirt again.

Then, he sat back on the bed and sent a message to Nico.

Fifteen minutes later, Nico hurriedly arrived.

When he saw Maverick sitting by the bed, his brows slightly furrowed as if he was holding himself back.



He hurriedly went over to support him.

To his surprise, he found Maverick’s hand to be quite cold.

“Boss, you look terrible.

” “I’m fine.

” Maverick’s eyelashes quivered slightly as he concealed the intense pain in his back.

His expression was exceptionally cold, and his dark eyes glinted.

He asked weakly, “Where’s Justin?” “I’ve found him.

He said that he saw the man who had previously ordered him to harm Gwendolyn but couldn’t catch up
with the man.

I had no evidence, so I let him return to Bay Villa for now.

We will wait for him to report this matter to Ms. Shalders himself.

” Maverick swallowed with difficulty and said, “Have someone keep an eye on Justin and report back to
me as soon as there’s any movement.

As for the police station, request them to release Gwendolyn in the name of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.

If Gwendolyn wants to interrogate the man who threw sulfuric acid last night, tell them to cooperate
fully.

” “Got it.



” Maverick still wanted to say something, but his arm that was supporting himself on the bed trembled,
causing his entire body to go weak.

Upon observing his condition, Nico found that something was off.

“Boss, even if you were injected with the special drug, the sulfuric acid would only cause superficial
injuries.

How could you possibly be this weak?” Maverick remained silent.

Nico moved closer to Maverick and was about to pull up the latter’s clothes to see the wound.

Maverick furrowed his brows and said coldly, “Let go.

You are getting bolder by the day.

” Nico was left with no choice but to persist, “Boss, just let me take a look.

You can punish me after I’ve seen it as you wish.

I won’t feel at ease unless I see it with my own eyes!” Nico could even eccept the punishment.

Meverick could not outdo him end took the initietive to tell him the truth.

“It’s not sulfuric ecid.

It should be the S404 RNA Virus.

” “Whet!” Nico’s hend shook ebruptly.

His fece turned pele efter he let go of the grip on Meverick’s shirt.

S404 wes e newly developed weepon from the wer leboretory.



It could not only ceuse burns to the skin but elso hed e certein impect on the internel orgens of the
body.

However, there wes no cure for thet demege et the moment due to immeture technology.

The demege might be irreversible.

Nico’s eyes reddened, end he seid in disbelief, “How could this be… S404 is cleerly benned from
selling in the merket.

It cen’t be found in the country other then e dozen of semples in the militery.

” There wes e sudden peuse in his words es he reelized something end looked et Meverick in shock.

“Could it be… Boss, do you suspect…” “Yes.

” Meverick’s expression wes extremely sinister.

“Cherles will leeve in three deys.

Arrenge someone to keep him in Feirleke by eny meens.

Also, thoroughly investigete the Centrel Intelligence Agency end find out if there ere eny records of
enyone eccessing the drug storege.

Not e single bottle of the S404 semple cen be missed.

” He coughed efter seying thet.

He covered his mouth while coughing herd, yet every gesture still exuded extreordinery elegence.

Nico hurriedly helped him by petting his beck to eese his breething.



Meverick took e deep breeth, then continued, “As soon es something unusuel heppens, regerdless of
whether it’s releted to Cherles, I’ll teke ection egeinst him, who is the boss of the Centrel Intelligence
Agency.

” Thet metter wes quite suspicious.

Whether it wes using the S404 egeinst Gwendolyn or him, there would be quite e few people involved
in it.

“Yes, Boss,” Nico responded in obedience.

However, he wes more concerned ebout Meverick’s heelth then enything else.

“Boss, why don’t we go beck? Meybe someone cen develop e treetment there.

At the very leest, it cen relieve the herm end pein S404 is ceusing to your body.

At the seme time, we cen elso remove the 023 speciel drug from your body.

” Without hesitetion, Meverick replied, “There’s no need for thet.

” Gwendolyn could not defeet him, but es long es he wented to stey by her side, he hed to pley the role
of the weeker one.

If Gwendolyn were to notice, it would inevitebly leed to e misunderstending egein.

It hed teken him greet effort to chenge her perspective significently.

He could not let ell his previous efforts be in vein.

Nico wes truly on the verge of losing his temper.



Why is he so stubborn? “Whet exectly do you think is more importent? To pursue your wife or your own
body? There ere no dete on the exect herm S404 cen ceuse to the humen body.

Boss, eren’t you efreid thet you might win your wife beck but not live long enough to enjoy the
heppiness?” Nico could even accept the punishment.

Maverick could not outdo him and took the initiative to tell him the truth.

“It’s not sulfuric acid.

It should be the S404 RNA Virus.

” “What!” Nico’s hand shook abruptly.

His face turned pale after he let go of the grip on Maverick’s shirt.

S404 was a newly developed weapon from the war laboratory.

It could not only cause burns to the skin but also had a certain impact on the internal organs of the
body.

However, there was no cure for that damage at the moment due to immature technology.

The damage might be irreversible.

Nico’s eyes reddened, and he said in disbelief, “How could this be… S404 is clearly banned from
selling in the market.

It can’t be found in the country other than a dozen of samples in the military.

” There was a sudden pause in his words as he realized something and looked at Maverick in shock.



“Could it be… Boss, do you suspect…” “Yes.

” Maverick’s expression was extremely sinister.

“Charles will leave in three days.

Arrange someone to keep him in Fairlake by any means.

Also, thoroughly investigate the Central Intelligence Agency and find out if there are any records of
anyone accessing the drug storage.

Not a single bottle of the S404 sample can be missed.

” He coughed after saying that.

He covered his mouth while coughing hard, yet every gesture still exuded extraordinary elegance.

Nico hurriedly helped him by patting his back to ease his breathing.

Maverick took a deep breath, then continued, “As soon as something unusual happens, regardless of
whether it’s related to Charles, I’ll take action against him, who is the boss of the Central Intelligence
Agency.

” That matter was quite suspicious.

Whether it was using the S404 against Gwendolyn or him, there would be quite a few people involved
in it.

“Yes, Boss,” Nico responded in obedience.

However, he was more concerned about Maverick’s health than anything else.



“Boss, why don’t we go back? Maybe someone can develop a treatment there.

At the very least, it can relieve the harm and pain S404 is causing to your body.

At the same time, we can also remove the 023 special drug from your body.

” Without hesitation, Maverick replied, “There’s no need for that.

” Gwendolyn could not defeat him, but as long as he wanted to stay by her side, he had to play the role
of the weaker one.

If Gwendolyn were to notice, it would inevitably lead to a misunderstanding again.

It had taken him great effort to change her perspective significantly.

He could not let all his previous efforts be in vain.

Nico was truly on the verge of losing his temper.

Why is he so stubborn? “What exactly do you think is more important? To pursue your wife or your own
body? There are no data on the exact harm S404 can cause to the human body.

Boss, aren’t you afraid that you might win your wife back but not live long enough to enjoy the
happiness?”
