Chapter 1644 He Should Have Done So
The hostility from Yves gradually lessened when Rosalie's situation was described.
"The experts I hired guessed that Xander was probably using a certain kind of herb, but they had no clue as to what
exactly it was."
Byron spoke in a hushed voice.
Yves noted the details. "You went and asked Xander about it?”
Otherwise, there was no way he would know so many details.
Byron nodded.
Yves sneered. "If I'm guessing right, Xander did not agree to cure Dr. Jacobs. He must have offered some kind of
condition that you can't accept, and you are not willing to pay for Dr. Jacobs. That's why you thought of me."
As he spoke, Yves leaned back in his chair behind him. "If your love for Dr. Jacobs is nothing more than that, I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbelieve there is no need for me to help you. Mr. Lawrence, you should know that we are love rivals."
Byron's eyebrows were locked. "If he had made an offer, I would have agreed to it, but Xander is intentionally
stalling for time, and I can't wait any longer!"
The implication was that Xander was not even offering conditions, but just leaving him hanging.
Yves raised his eyebrows before finally sitting upright again, his tone disdainful. "He's a pretender, of course, you
can't count on him!"
After saying that, he focused his gaze and fell into deep thought.
"Even though the drug was administered through inhalation, Xander, who was in the same room with Dr. Jacobs,
was fine. He must have used the antidote for himself, and the antidote must have a certain time limit. Otherwise, if
he inhaled it for extended periods, he would have been affected by the drug as well."
This speculation was largely in line with the experts' and researchers' guesses, but with a few more details than
they had.
Byron now believed Linda's claim that Yves was more proficient at this.
Yves quickly fell into his own thoughts, mumbling the names of several herbs, wondering whether they were the
antidote. Seconds later, however, he would reject each possibility.
Byron had no knowledge of this field and could only wait impatiently for his results.
He could not tell how much time passed, but Yves finally spoke with an ugly expression, "There are hundreds of
herbs used for medicine, and if you're not careful, you might choose two herbs that counteract each other, so I
need to be very careful. For now, I really can't pinpoint one."
Byron's face gradually became grave.
Yves added, "But since Xander has something he wants in exchange, the medicinal effects of the herbs must not be
very strong, and nothing should happen to Dr. Jacobs within a short period of time."
With his knowledge of Xander and the herbs, Yves still had a few things he was sure of. "Give me two days. After
two days, you can come back to me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTwo days...
Byron could not wait much longer.
At the moment, however, there was no other way but to agree.
"I know, then I'll have to trouble you with that."
He thanked Yves in a deep voice.
Yves nodded, with a hint of thoughtfulness under his eyes.
When Byron was about to get up and leave, Yves suddenly called out to him. "Mr. Lawrence."
Byron paused slightly and turned back to look at him. "What else do you need, Dr. Graham?"
Yves sized him up, his gaze lingering on his face for a long time.
He had done something outrageous to Rosalie before, and he still remembered Byron's angry look at that time.
He thought that when he saw him again, Byron would be disgusted with him to the core.
Byron may commend his willingness to help, but this was what should be expected of him in the first place.
He never thought that Byron would be so polite.
It came as a surprise to him.
