The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1167

In the hospital, Lisbeth handed Agent A an apple.

Agent A was on the brink of insanity, having been confined to the hospital bed for five days with no sign of Aurelia bringing the antidote. Was Aurelia playing him for a fool?

A man in a white coat entered, shutting the door behind him with a definitive click.

Lisbeth caught the calloused hands of the man, signs of a life less ordinary. This wasn't any ordinary doctor. He was one of AK Group's killers.

They had been under surveillance by the AK Group. With Agent A's poisoning, it was only natural they'd catch wind of it.

Agent A shot him a glare. "What took you so long?"

"The Stirling family has been on high alert. I had to be cautious," the supposed doctor replied, extracting a syringe from his pocket.

"I need to draw some blood for research to develop the antidote."

Agent A, irritable and impatient, snapped, "Just get on with it. I don't fancy lying here like a vegetable."

Lisbeth mulled over the situation. She had assumed he was bringing the antidote. Skyler had mentioned the poison was Geoffrey's handiwork and only he held the cure. As their boss, shouldn't Geoffrey have sent the cure with his henchman?

"Doesn't the AK Group have the antidote?"

The killer was blunt. "The poison wasn't concocted by AK Group. How could we have the antidote?"

Lisbeth whispered, "Does the boss know about Agent A's condition?"

"I haven't been in touch with the boss yet, but there's little that escapes his notice," the killer replied.

Lisbeth guessed Geoffrey was still in the dark, or else he would have sent the antidote by now.

She needed to prevent Agent A from getting the cure. It was her leverage to find out Raines' whereabouts.

"Can you produce an antidote?"

"If the Verdecalma labs were still operational, it would be no issue. Now, it's tricky, but we'll do what we can," the killer assured her.
