The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 568

In the parking lot before the office building of Astral Enterprises, when Leopold stepped out of his car, Megan rushed over and threw her arms around him.

"Leopold, I'm so scared. I think someone cast a curse on me." Her face was ghostly pale, trembling uncontrollably, the fear in her eyes genuine.

Leopold's thick brows knitted together as he gently pried her hands away. "What happened?"

"I've been having nightmares every night, dreaming that someone's choking me. I can't breathe, feeling like I'm dying," Megan stammered with a shiver.

"Maybe it's just stress from the pregnancy. You should see a doctor," Leopold suggested coolly.

Megan shook her head vigorously like a bobblehead doll. "No, it's not that. It's a curse. I'm sure of it. I've never felt like this before."

Leopold gave her a long and penetrating look. "Who would curse you?"

Unless the AK Group thought she was disposable, there was no way they'd target her.

Megan dropped her gaze, her eyelashes casting shadows over her flickering eyes. "A new player from the organization has parachuted in. Last week, I got a secret email from him. He demanded the last vial of the antibiotic. I didn't comply. He must be angry, cursing me to pressure me into handing it over. This antibiotic is incredibly complex to create and is the only vial left in the lab. If I give it to him, he'll destroy it. And then Aurelia's done for."

A nerve in Leopold's mind twitched violently, his muscles tensing.

The phage needed for the antibiotic was exceedingly rare. Leopold’s team sent to the Amazon hadn't even caught a trace of it. Besides, their survival and reproduction rates were abysmally low, making them nearly impossible to cultivate artificially.

"Where's the antibiotic now?"

"Don't worry. It's in a safe place. No one but me knows where it is. As long as I'm okay, it'll be fine," Megan assured him. Leopold knew she wouldn't spill the beans so easily. Anyway, Megan was a cunning fox.

"Did you figure out who the new player is?"
