Chapter 0295
Suzy’s fists clenched tightly as she glared at Hawk standing in the doorway. “You really time your arrival well.”
Hawk raised an eyebrow, his tone nonchalant, Of course. This is a matter of life and death for Mr. Wright. Naturally, I had to time it perfectly.”
He glanced at Dylan, his lips curling into a faint smirk. “Judging by his condition, it seems he’s already taken something. Don’t tell me, Junior, you tried to make your own antidote?”
Clicking his tongue, Hawk shook his head in mock disapproval. “As skilled as you are, Junior, an antidote should always be tested before it’s administered. That’s one of the basic rules of medicine, isn’t it? I’m surprised you’d make such a rookie mistake.
“And another thing–didn’t I already tell you the antidote is with me? You only had to ask, and I’d have given it to you. But no, you had to make your own. What’s the matter? Did you use Mr. Wright as your personal test subject?”
Hawk let out an exaggerated sigh, glancing at Dylan. “Divorced or not, you shouldn’t have put him through this. Look at the poor man, suffering so much.”
Suzy’s temper snapped. “Shut up!”
She had never encountered someone whose words were more infuriating.
Hawk shrugged. “Fine, if you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say another word. But about the antidote…”
He paused deliberately before continuing, “It’s clear your attempt didn’t work. If you want to save Mr. Wright’s life, he’ll need the real antidote as soon as possible.”
It was true–Dylan’s condition was worsening by the minute. But accepting the antidote meant agreeing to Hawk’s terms, and Suzy couldn’t bring herself to do it..
As she stood frozen in indecision, Dylan suddenly sat up on the bed, his weak voice cutting through the tension. “So, it was you who poisoned me!”
Hawk nodded without hesitation. “Indeed, it was me. I needed a test subject for a new formula, and you were just the right subject. But don’t worry, I’ve brought the antidote personally.”
He stepped closer, holding out a small white porcelain bottle to Suzy. “Junior, time is running out. Give him the antidote before it’s too late. If anything happens to him and Madam Grace comes back to this mess, how will you explain yourself?”
Suzy stared at him, her expression unreadable,
Then, out of nowhere, she laughed. “You’re that desperate to marry me, huh?”

“Exactly,” Hawk admitted openly, his tone unwavering. “I told you before that you can only be mine.”
Though his words were directed at Suzy, his unrelenting gaze was fixed on Dylan.
The challenge in Hawk’s eyes didn’t go unnoticed.
Dylan’s expression darkened, his sharp gaze growing colder.
He slowly pulled back the covers, got out of bed, and strode toward Suzy.
Wrapping an arm possessively around her, he smirked. “Too bad for you. Your little fantasy
is about to shatter.”
Suzy blinked.
Did the antidote already work?
Hawk looked just as stunned. “That’s impossible!”
“Why wouldn’t it be possible?” Dylan’s lips curved into a faint smile. “My Suzy is a miracle doctor. Did you really think she couldn’t counter your poison?”
Suzy nearly retorted, “Who’s your Suzy?” but the sight of Hawk’s darkened, stormy expression made her reconsider.
“Let them fight it out.”
With that thought, she decided to stay out of it.
Whatever the two men said, she ignored it completely.
After a while, she even yawned. “You two carry on. I’m going to bed.”
Both Dylan and Hawk were left speechless.
As soon as Suzy left, Dylan turned his full attention back to Hawk. His voice was calm but cutting. “Hawk, do you really think changing identities will make her fall for you? The truth is, no matter what identity you take on, she feels nothing for you. Even if you killed me, you still wouldn’t achieve your goal.”
Hawk’s lips curled into a sneer. “Dylan, if I were really Claude, winning Suzy over would be effortless. Why would I bother taking on an identity she despises?”
