Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Susan couldn’t help but feel a little worried. She appeared more and more distracted.

Seeing her like this, Ben vaguely made up his mind.

A few days later.

Thomas had developed a preliminary control drug.

This medicine couldn’t completely detoxify the poison, but it could temporarily control its spread.

It could delay the time of death from ten minutes to a week.

Perhaps a miracle would happen if they were given a week to send one to the hospital for treatment.

After the medicine was produced, Ben secretly sent a few copies to the Nicholas family.

After all, although the Nicholas family was heavily guarded, the hints dropped by the person behind the scenes were too terrifying.

With this medicine, they could buy some time even if they were poisoned.

After the Nicholas family got the medicine, Susan felt somewhat relieved.

This way

at least the same tragedy as Penny’s wouldn’t happen again.

Even if they were poisoned, there was still time to buy more time.

But Susan’s relief didn’t last long.

The next day, she received a call.

“Susan…” Judith choked with sobs on the other end.

Susan felt her heart skip a beat and had a bad feeling.

She forced herself to stay calm. “Aunt Judith, what happened? Tell me slowly.”

Judith tried to speak several times, but her emotions overwhelmed her, making it difficult for her to articulate.

“Susan,” Eason took over the phone and said steadily, “Dad was poisoned.”

Susan was shocked.

Even with the strict defense, Alexander still got poisoned?

Eason solemnly continued, “Luckily, your medicine arrived in time, and Dad is currently in a coma. We’ve secretly transported Dad to the best hospital in the country and enlisted top doctors, but they’re helpless right now. Initially, we didn’t want to call to avoid worrying you, but Dad’s condition is not optimistic, and we have no choice but to reach out. We need to know who the doctor is that developed the medicine.

Eason was well aware that this poison was terrifying.

you first.”

The fact that the mastermind used it so recklessly indicated confidence that no one could cure it.

Without the powder sent by Ben, Alexander would likely be dead by now..

However, the timely arrival of the powder proved highly effective.

According to the doctor’s examination, the powder’s effect surpassed Ben’s description. It could control the spread of the poison, and since Alexander hadn’t ingested much, the effect could be extended from a week to half a month

Now, the top doctors in the country had gathered at the Tonico hospital.

Eason hoped they could seize this opportunity to completely remove the toxin.

However, despite their efforts, the doctors couldn’t determine the composition of the poison. The toxicity was so potent that it shocked all the medical professionals involved.

One doctor suggested that the poison might have some unknown components, and the person behind it was highly skilled at making poisons. Breaking it down in half a month seemed impossible.

The only hope lay with the doctor who developed the powder.

If that doctor and a way to control the spread of the poison in a few days, even if it was just month, it was already a challenging task for others.

They were already at their wit’s end, but if they could find the doctor who invented the powder, there might still be some hope,

Eason initially didn’t want to worry Susan and even considered keeping Alexander unaware of the current situation. However, given the circumstances, he couldn’t hide it any longer.

For the sake of Alexander’s life, even with slim hope, he had to seek the doctor’s help.

Susan completely understood what Eason meant.

Her face was slightly pale, but she quickly calmed herself down.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Wait for me.”

Susan hung up the phone in a trance.

Her legs went weak slightly.

She sat down directly on the chair,

Alexander… had actually fallen for it.

Apart from buying time, there was no other way to completely neutralize the poison.

There were still a few days left, but the clock was ticking, and Susan knew that without an antidote in the next few days, Alexander would die.

Susan paused briefly to gather her things before hurrying to find Ben.

Ben was attending a business meeting at a government building, and it was drizzling outside. As soon as Ben came out, he saw Susan standing in the rain with a pale face.

She stood in the rain without an umbrella, letting the raindrops fall on her hair.

Ben felt his heart tighten as he walked over and pulled Susan into his arms.

“What happened, Susan?” Ben asked in a trembling voice.

Before Susan could speak, Ben had already carried her to the car.

With a serious expression, he took out a dry towel and carefully dried her hair.

He adjusted the car’s heating, prepared a warm glass of milk, and offered it to Susan.

Susan opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Ben said in an unquestionable tone, “Drink some warm milk first.”

Susan hesitated for a moment, then compliantly sipped the milk.

It was very war

in the car.

And Ben gave her a great sense of security.

Susan looked better gradually.

She said softly, “Mr. Nicholas fell for it.”

“I’ve guessed it,” Ben replied.

He had just unlocked his phone, and with Susan’s reaction and the missed calls, he could pretty much figure out what was happening.

Susan tightened her lips and explained, “Mr. Nicholas is currently unconscious. Eason is eager to find the doctor who created the medicine because only that doctor might have a chance to save Mr. Nicholas.”

Ben held onto Susan s hand and said softly, “Susan, you know what happened to Thomas. Although his medical skills are superb, he only wants to live an ordinary life. I can’t force him, and I have no right to force him.

“I get it,” Susan acknowledged, keeping her composure. “That’s why I didn’t make any promises to Eason.”

Susan was indeed anxious that Alexander was poisoned.

But she also knew that Thomas shouldn’t be involved in this.

It was already a great kindness that Thomas was able to help develop a medicine to delay the toxic reaction.

But if Thomas was forced to go to the Tonico to help, the identity that Thomas had tried so hard to hide would definitely be exposed.

Moreover, if he treated Alexander, he would inevitably be involved in politics.

This was exactly what Thomas hated the most.

They couldn’t say that to Thomas at all.

Otherwise, it would be no different from forcing others to do something they didn’t like.

However, Alexander was indeed in a life–or–death situation.

Susan couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

She had never accepted the Nicholas family.

But in the past year, Alexander was in Tonico, away from her. He was busy with affairs and would still secretly fly to Coraland to see her from time to time.

Alexander and Judith, without a doubt, showered her with kindness.

Instead of living a better life in the Tonico, they insisted on staying in Coraland.

Judith said that she wanted to try a different life, but Susan knew that Judith did it for her.

Susan had never felt any familial affection from the Miller family in her life.

During the time she spent with the Millers, she felt distant from the idea of family.

Therefore, she did not acknowledge the Nicholas family, nor did she dare to.

But Susan was not a cold–blooded person.

She knew very well how the Nicholas family had treated her in the past year.

In her heart, she had long regarded them as her real family.

Now that Alexander was in danger, how could she remain calm?

Ben understood how Susan felt.

He hugged Susan gently and said in a firm tone, “We are going to Tonico.”

Susan suddenly looked up at him. Go to Tonico?”

Ben lowered his head to look at her. “Yes.”

Susan instinctively pulled away “You… You have a busy schedule. I’m afraid you won’t be able to make

time for it.”

Ben rubbed her hair and said, “Even if I don’t go, you’ll go too, won’t you? Susan, don’t I know your condition since Penny died accidentally? You’ve been worried about the Nicholas family over there for a long time, haven’t you?”

“L…” Susan pursed her lips and felt a little painful. “After all, they are my blood relatives. Mr. Nicholas is in critical situation now, so I have to go. But Ben, this has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to go.”

Susan knew all too well how horrifying it was for a king to be poisoned and unconscious.

It indicated that the mastermind, or rather, the organization behind it, had deeply penetrated the Tonico.

Once she reached the Tonico, she might encounter enemies at every

o alone?”

Ben looked at her quietly. “Susan, do you think I’ll let you go

Susan was rendered speechless for a moment, her lips trembling.

She knew that if Ben were in a similar situation, she would undoubtedly accompany him.

It was the same for Ben.

But Susan really didn’t want Ben to take the risk.

She tried hard to find an excuse. “But you can’t afford to step away from the company.”

Ben responded calmly. “I’ve been handling the company’s affairs since Penny’s incident. Now that everything is sorted, there won’t be any issues even if I’m away for a month or two.”

“You… Susan stared blankly at Ben.

She didn’t expect Ben to start making preparations so early.

Since she couldn’t use the company’s matters as an excuse, Susan began to think hard about other things..

“You’re grandpa’s only grandson. He’ll be worried if you go to such a dangerous place. You should stay at home and keep him company,” she said,

Ben raised his eyebrows. “I told grandpa everything from beginning to end. He agreed to all my choices.”

Susan was speechless.

She wanted to say something else.

Ben lowered his head and kissed her, sealing her mouth.

Susan looked at him, and her face suddenly turned red.

Although they were in the car, their actions were still visible on the road.

If someone saw this, would she ever live it down?

Ben glanced at Susan, who was blushing, and released her with a playful smile. He gently flicked her forehead and teased, “Any other opinions? Feel free to share. I don’t mind hearing a few more words.”

His faint smile hinted, “If you dare to say it, I might just kiss you again.”

Susan hastily covered her mouth and replied, “No.”

“Really?” Ben asked, looking a little regretful.

Susan shook her head repeatedly.

Letting out a sigh, Ben said in disappointment, “Alright, it’s settled then. Let’s go to the Tonico tomorrow.”

At the Landor residence.

Ben and Susan were having dinner with grandpa.

An international news segment suddenly flashed on the TV.

On the news.

Alexander’s younger sister, Ava, appeared on screen with tearful eyes, pleading with the police to apprehend the culprit who poisoned Alexander.

Ava broke into tears.

Ben and Susan exchanged serious glances.

In reality, news of Alexander’s poisoning was still under wraps.

Although it seemed like Ava was advocating for justice, she had, in fact, disclosed Alexander’s poisoning to the media.

In this way.

Everyone in Tonico knew that Alexander had been poisoned.

Ordinary people would inevitably panic because of this.

If someone were to manipulate the situation, the entire Tonico might descend into chaos.

Ben narrowed his eyes.

As the younger sister of Alexander/was Ava worried about Alexander or did she have other purposes?

This was unknown for the time being.

But Ben was aware that the mastermind was orchestrating their plan step by step, and chaos was imminent

in the Tonico.

“Ben.” Susan glanced at him.

Ben held her hand and said, “Let’s talk about it when we arrive there.

Susan nodded, but she was still a little worried.

The exposure of Alexander being poisoned and unconscious would undoubtedly trouble Judith and Eason deeply.

Susan wondered about their well–being, but all she could do was feel anxious until they arrived in the Tonico….

They had to get there first to know the specific situation.

That night.

Susan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Ben stayed up all night with her.

The next day.

Ben and Susan were ready to go out early in the morning.

Before they got downstairs, they heard a familiar voice.

“Ouch, old master, your coffee–making is getting really good. This might be the best coffee I’ve ever had.”

“Hahaha.” Old Mr. Landor was amused and laughed. “Then take a few more sips”

“Of course.” Thomas took the coffee cup, sipping it with appreciation.

Old Mr. Landor chuckled at his exaggeration.

Old Mr. Landor smiled, but upon seeing Ben and Susan, his expression shifted to one of concern.

It was evident how chaotic the Tonico had become,

While Ben and Susan could have avoided getting involved, they decided to go anyway.

Old Mr. Landor naturally hoped for the safety of them, but he also understood that forcibly stopping them would leave lasting regrets.

In that case, he could only let them go.

It was just that Old Mr. Landor looked a little sad.

“Are you going on a long trip?” Thomas raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “I guess our destination is the same. Why don’t you take me with you?”

Ben couldn’t help but frown.

He said slowly. You don’t have to get involved, Thomas.”

“Oh!” Thomas said lightly. T heard you’ve sought the best doctor in the country and plan to go to the Tonico for assistance. What’s the matter? Is my expertise not good enough for you?”

After a brict silence, Ben said, “You know that’s not what I meant.”

Thomas smiled and said. “Since you don’t mean that, take me with you. I dare say, no one in the world can detoxify Alexander except me.”

Ben was still frowning at him.

Thomas understood what Ben meant. He said gently. “It’s been so many years, Ben. It’s time for me to

move on.

“But, you…” Ben still wanted to say something.

Thomas interrupted Ben directly. “What? It’s rare for me to want to make some progress, and you still want to stop me? You know, detoxifying Alexander could catapult me to the top in one go. It’s a golden opportunity. Don’t stand in my way.”

Thomas laughed. Ben didn’t laugh. He just looked at Thomas,

Thomas shifted to a more serious tone, “Ben, this decision is not only to assist you and Susan but also to confront that mysterious doctor. Once I directly engage with the poisoned person. I’ll discern the next steps. Moreover, have you considered the consequences if this poison spreads worldwide? The mastermind can play God. In a way, this transcends our personal conflicts and becomes a global concern. I used to have the freedom to escape such matters, but not this time.”

Thomas had a rare serious look on his face.

After a long silence, Ben said. “Let’s go then”

Thomas couldn’t help but smile when he heard this.

He had already brought his luggage and was ready to set off.

Old Mr. Landor watched them leave with a smile, but as they disappeared into the distance, he sighed. deeply.

They must be careful.

In the car.

Susan looked at Thomas with gratitude and guilt.

She said softly, Thank you, Thomas.”

“Hey, don’t.” Thomas quickly waved his hand and said righteously, T’m a noble man. I’m willing to help for the sake of the whole world. It has nothing to do with you, Susan.”
