Chapter 1216

He was even helping her call Enzo.

"Don't panic," Jim comforted Diana. "Your children and husband will be fine."

He even switched the phone to loudspeaker so Diana could hear his conversation with Enzo.

"Enzo," Jim said into the phone.

The moment the arrogant Enzo got Jim's call, he immediately bowed and replied respectfully. His hair stood on end;

he was alert and ready to receive his commands." I'm right here, Professor Hughes. How can I be of service?"

"Release Mr. Fulcher and his children. I don’t want any mishap," Jim said. He turned to Diana and said in a polite,

almost distant manner, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Diana was already very grateful to him, so she didn't see the need to raise any further requests. She was now

certain that Jim and Enzo weren't in cahoots.

"As long as they come back safely to me," Diana said, knowing that she was unable to bear the loss of her loved

ones.

Jim nodded. "Okay."

Enzo's voice turned a pitch higher. "But... But..."

"But what?"

Enzo bit the bullet and confessed, "Julian...already took the medicine. The drug hasn’t been launched yet, and is

currently in its second phase of development... There's a level of toxicity in it..."

Jim furrowed his brows, his voice laced with anger. "Enzo Jennings."

From the way he uttered Enzo's name, one could feel flesheating bugs crawling up on the skin. Even Diana was

frightened.

But Professor Hughes was such a nice man. He couldn't possibly be so cruel and frightening!

Diana stopped her imagination from going wild, and subconsciously caressed her tummy.

"Professor Hughes..." The worry on her face said it all. "My husband..."

His health was susceptible even to normal over-the-counter drugs when he took them indiscriminately. Taking drugs

that weren't yet launched to the market would surely be worse.

Diana's mind fell into a mess when she heard Enzo’s words. Her face wrinkled up; she wished she could pounce on

Enzo herself and force that damned drug on him instead!

However, nothing was more important than putting Julian through gastric lavage to cleanse him from the toxins of

the drug he was forced to take.

Jim saw through what she was thinking and put his finger on his lips, signaling her to calm down. He said to Enzo,"

Release them. I’ll come over right now with his wife to treat him."

After hanging up, Jim said to Diana, "That drug takes effect very quickly. Gastric lavage will be useless the moment

he took it. He's probably in great pain right now."

Indeed, Julian's entire body was so wracked with painthat he felt like smashing his head against a wall.

His body would turn cold one moment, almost as if the freezing wind was blowing right into his bones. He would feel

a great chill, on top of the excruciating pain he was feeling. In the next moment, his joints would burn up, like ants

biting on his bones; it worsened the pain even more.

He clenched his fists in a feeble attempt to withstand the agony.

Sean kept wiping the sweat from Julian's brow. He couldn’t bear seeing his father increasingly tormented. "Daddy,

will the police really come and save us?”

'They definitely will."

The moment Julian said that, the door to the room was opened.

It wasn't the police, but Enzo.

Julian’s senses awoke at that moment. He swiftly pulled Sean into his embrace, ensuring the boy's safety before

glaring at Enzo.

"What are you here for?"

Up to this point, Julian had been injected once and forced to take a pill. To Enzo, Julian was nothing but a dying man.

There was no need for him to come here and risk being suspected as the culprit.

Enzo seemed to have changed his stance, a solemn look on his face as he lashed out with a whip.

Smack!

Julian tightened his hold over Sean.

However, he saw the whip landing on Tommy instead.

Tommy's face went red as he whimpered in pain, but he didn’t dare to say anything. Meanwhile, Enzo smiled

sheepishly at Julian.

"Mr. Fulcher, my subordinate was blind. Feel free to bring Sean back home anytime!"
