Chapter 75 Infection

Amber Hersey was speechless and helpless when she saw those two leave in an instant. It was as if they treated this meeting as nothing but a joke.

"I guessed it's just the two of us now, Amber." Rex Warner smiled bitterly.

"Is there any other information that your patriarch has discovered?" Amber Hersey ignored his comment and instead enquired for more information.

"No, the patriarch was exhausted when he tried to uncover the two variables and is now recuperating."

"Then have you tried to use your clairvoyance ability to determine it?"

"I did, but my ability is lacking a lot compared to the patriarch. I can't even determine that the White Syndicate would be involved, much less the two unknown variables."

"Is that so…" Amber Hersey nodded her head and stood up from the chair.

"You can enjoy the food yourself then. I'll be busy later on, so just contact my people if you have some new information." She then said, snapping her finger, and the Magicule around the atmosphere started to combust.

Once the Magicules gathered together, they started to shroud Amber Hersey's body, and within a few seconds, she vanished from the scene.

Rex Warner could only place his palm on his chin and sighed softly, glancing at the now-empty round table in front of him. "Even though we all gathered here to discuss and eat, now it's just empty before the food is served for us."

Shaking his head, Rex Warner found it a pity how far the five families had become estranged due to power and money.

Back when they established the Gearits City, all of them were working hard together, hiding zero resources from each other.

Now that they had established the foothold and constructed a strong defending city, they started to think about themselves and their profits, forgetting about the past struggles.

"Pardon for the interruption, but the food has arrived-" Robert Cook was about to continue his words until he noticed there was only Rex Warner in the VIP Room.

"Where did the rest go?" He then asked, seemingly dumbfounded by the situation.

It was only now that he realized the people outside had also diminished by quite a margin. Butler Wade was gone, and so were the rest of the members besides the people from the Warner Family.

Does he still serve the food now?

Robert Cook was left in a dilemma, unsure of what to do next.

Luckily, Rex Warner seemed to have detected his thought process based on his expression and shook his head. contemporary romance

"You can place the food down. They were paid in advance anyway, so it would be a shame to waste all this food when others are struggling to even put food on their table." Rex Warner smiled amicably and instructed.

Robert Cook nodded his head and waved his hands, prompting the other waiters to bring in the food. As the waiter swiftly placed the food on the table, Robert Cook calmly said, "Please enjoy the food."

Afterward, he left the VIP room as well, without bothering to ask where the other heirs went nor did he wish to know. It was clear that something had happened and it wasn't his position to pry further.

Seeing that Robert Cook and the waiters left in a hurry, Rex Warner sighed softly.

He then glanced at the members outside the door and commanded, "The rest of you can come in and eat the food as well. Let's not waste the chef's effort in cooking these foods for us."

While Rex Warner enjoyed the food along with the rest of his members in the Warner Family, Shi Tian had returned home.

Shi Tian placed the food on the table and walked toward the living room.

"Vanessa, wake up, it's time to eat." He called out from afar.

There was no response and Shi Tian thought she was just in deep slumber. However, when he got closer and saw the pale complexion on her face, he was alarmed.

"Vanessa?"

Shi Tian called out again, walking closer to her and inspecting her. Not only was her face pale, but she seemed to be trembling slightly.

Seeing such a situation, Shi Tian touched her hand and realized it was cold. Her body was freezing up, and she seemed to be in a lot of pain.

'Ah crap, what am I supposed to do?' Shi Tian was helpless in her current condition.

He wasn't a doctor nor did he have much medical knowledge to handle such a situation.

Normally, one would go to the hospital in such a situation, but Shi Tian was afraid her enemies would be lurking in the dark, waiting for her to show up. It was also because of this fear that Shi Tian brought her to his home instead of going to the hospital.

"Ungh." While Shi Tian was pondering whether to bring her to the hospital or not, Vanessa groaned in pain.

She opened her eyes slowly, glanced at Shi Tian, and muttered weakly, "W-Water…"

Shi Tian nodded his head, hurrying to the kitchen, and filled a glass with warm water.

Afterward, he went back to the living room, assisting Vanessa to get up to let her drink the water.

Vanessa drank the warm water with the assistance of Shi Tian, but still coughed a bit more in the process.

Shi Tian held a genuinely worried expression on his face, clearly affected by Vanessa's condition. Her current outlook greatly reminded him of Sheng Lan back when she was extremely ill and needed a lot of care.

"We should go to the hospital. The elastic bandage didn't help much and you have an infection now. At this rate, your body is going to worsen and could possibly die." Shi Tian said solemnly, ready to carry her to the hospital.

His emotion was being affected, but the passive ability was working at the same time to make him remain composed. However, the flashbacks of Sheng Lan's painful expression would constantly come back to cause a rift in his emotions.

It was the first time the passive ability was being negated, but Shi Tian couldn't care less at the moment.
