“I didn’t call you to listen to your nonsense. I’m going to ask you one last time–are you giving me the antidote or not?”
Hawk let out a low, deep laugh. “It seems you’re the only one in this world who can’t be hypnotized by me.”
“If you’re trying to hypnotize me, you’d better practice more,” Suzy retorted, fully aware. of his attempt to conduct remote hypnosis.
Anyone else would have fallen into his trap by now, but not her.
Hawk chuckled again. “I was worried my new poison, ‘Silent Death,‘ wouldn’t hold up under your treatment. But seeing how hard you’re struggling, I’d say all those sleepless nights creating it just for Dylan were worth it.”
Silent Death?
Just hearing the name made it clear how devious Hawk was.
What a waste of that face, so identical to Claude’s.
Hawk and Claude truly were opposites. Claude was like the bright, warm light of day, while Hawk was the impenetrable darkness of night, shrouded in shadow and malice.
Yet, Suzy had to admit his skill exceeded her own. While Hawk might not have been able to counteract her poisons, at this moment, she was utterly stumped by his.
“You can have the antidote,” Hawk finally said, his tone calm and measured. “But you
you to give me an answer I’ll
know what I want. Dylan has three days left. By then, I expect
be satisfied with.”
With that, Hawk hung up.
Suzy stared at the screen as the call ended, lost in thought.
She knew exactly what Hawk wanted.
He wanted her.
But was Dylan really worth sacrificing the rest of her life?
She wasn’t so sure.
But if she refused, she couldn’t live up to Grace and Diana’s kindness. Their unwavering support made it impossible for Suzy to simply walk away, leaving her conflicted.
There were still three days left, so maybe she could develop the antidote in time.

Three days flew by. Suzy managed to create the antidote, but she hesitated to administer it.
Dylan’s condition had worsened dramatically. The poison had reached his heart and lungs, leaving him gaunt and fragile, barely clinging to life. He couldn’t withstand even the slightest stress.
If the antidote worked, it would be fine. But if it didn’t…
Grace and Diana were due to return soon, and if Dylan didn’t make it, she had no idea how she’d face them.
Still, if she didn’t try, it was clear he wouldn’t last much longer.
As Suzy wavered, torn between options, Dylan seized the opportunity. While her back was turned, he swallowed the antidote.
By the time she noticed, it was too late to stop him.
“Dylan! Do you have any idea that taking this could kill you even faster? Aren’t you afraid?”
He gave her a pale, faint smile. “I trust you.”
“Still trying to flatter me, huh? Looks like you won’t die just yet.”
Dylan was left speechless.
Her words were sharper than any poison, but luckily, his mental fortitude was strong. Otherwise, he might not have survived her sharp tongue, let alone the antidote.
Just as he opened his mouth to reply, a searing heat flared through his body. His internal organs felt like they were on fire, and his skin turned bright red, the change happening visibly before Suzy’s eyes.
Alarmed, Suzy rushed to check on him. The moment she touched him, his body began convulsing, and his limbs stiffened unnaturally
She recognized the signs immediately.
Before she could act, Hawk appeared at the door, a sly smile on his face. “Junior, I’ve brought you the real antidote.”
