Chapter 253
Upstairs in the bedroom at Chivers Residence.
Morris walked in, looking at the room decorated in Cherise’s favorite style, and bitter smile
He quietly sat down on the edge of the bed.
Watching the person still sound asleep in bed, he pressed his lips together.

“Cherise, let’s stop sleeping and wake up, alright? It’s 10 PM, are you hungry? Get up and I’ll make some beef stew for us, okay?
“Didn’t you say in Manesia that I haven’t proposed to you yet? Wake up, give me a chance, I’m begging you, please don’t sleep anymore!”
Morris held the sleeping Cherise in his arms, pleading desperately, completely unlike his usual self.
Standing guard at the door. Steven and Leo found themselves tearing up at the sound of Morris’s voice inside.
Mr. Chivers has just narrowly escaped a disaster in Manesia, and now it’s Ms. Leach who faced such dire circumstances. What could we do? they wondered.
Inside the lab behind the white doors on the second basement level of the GlobalVision Group.
With the mechanical arm that Hugh brought over, which belonged to the late Joseph, and the Necrosis Poison from the underground market, Crow shut himself in the lab, focused on breaking down the liquid’s components.
Muttering to himself, “Boss, oh Boss, please help me succeed in breaking this down quickly so I can find the antidote and wake you up!”
It was late at night, approaching 2 AM, with a fierce cold wind at the foot of Azure Peak.
Jason stood at the gate of Dream Residence.
A few seconds later, a Rolls–Royce smoothly stopped at the entrance.
Morris got out of the car, glanced at Jason, and walked over to him.
“Rayburn happened to return
Hamolica a few days ago to handle some matters. I called him as soon as he got back from Chivers Residence. He’s still on the way to Betrico, Jason said honestly to Morris, “Go inside and wait for a while.”
Morris nodded, showing he understood. “I’ll wait here then.”
Jason didn’t insist, knowing how important Cherise was to him. He was definitely very nervous now. Joseph had already been taken care of by Morris, which freed the Chivers family from a major burden. “I’m just going in to grab something quick,” Jason told Morris before turning to head into the house.
A few minutes later, a sedan slowly drove up and stopped at the entrance.
Morris’s eyes suddenly widened.
However, it wasn’t Rayburn who got out of the car, but Yulia.

Chapter 253
From a distance, she could age a tall figure standing at the door of Dream Residence. It looked like Morris, but she thought she might be mistaken.
To her surprise, it really was him.
Today, she had been out drinking with some friends from Betric and ordered a ride–share to get back home.
As soon as she got out of the car and saw him, she was so happy and immediately walked toward Morris
When Morris saw that it was not Rayburn who arrived, he frowned in dissatisfaction and felt a bit disappointed.
Yulia was a bit drunk and unaware of the online news about Morns appearing at the auction.
She wasn’t as composed and polite as usual, exclaiming, “Morris, am I drunk? I remember you were missing, or maybe I just miss you too much, admire you too much, and am too infatuated, causing me to see illusions?”
Morris was already in a low and bad mood. Seeing a girl acting erratically, he was worried he might not be able to resist kicking her away, so he quickly stepped back several paces.
He not only felt disdainful but also extremely disgusted, finding none of the cuteness and charm that Cherise possessed. Yulia noticed Morris stepping back and moved forward. “Morris, why are you avoiding me? Don’t you like me? Oh! I know, you like Cherise. It seems like a lot of people like Cherise. She’s truly impressive, and I really envy
As Yulia was talking, Jason came out after getting his things.
her”
He had actually heard Yulia’s words while inside and came out looking quite upset. “Yulia, have you had too much to drink! Hey, someone, help her back to the other room.”
Two servants came out and took hold of Yulia.
At first, Yulia resisted, trying to break away from them.
But the difference in strength, along with her dizziness and lack of energy, soon stopped her struggle and she was taken back to the Hawkins residence.
Jason glanced at Morris, saying, “She’s not usually like this.”
Morris didn’t answer; what others did was none of his concern, and he kept his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Finally, after about ten minutes, Rayburn’s car arrived at the entrance of Dream Residence.
As soon as he got out of the car, he anxiously asked Morris, “Where’s Cherise? Take me to her.”
On the second floor of Chivers Residence, in the bedroom, Rayburn was checking Cherise’s pulse by the bed.
Morris stood nearby, watching
A few minutes later, Rayburn let go of Cherise’s hand and stood up. Looking serious, he asked, “Did the seller say the Necrosis Poison would be fatal?”
Morris nodded.
Rayburn thought for a moment and said, “Her vital signs are very stable, just like she’s normally asleep. I think it’s probably because she knows some medical skills and has been taking care of herself, which is preventing severe harm.”
“Is there any
y way to wake her up?” Morris asked again with concern.

Rayburn looked at Cherise cys the bed. “I need to see the broken down components of the drug to be sure
Morris still wasn’t at ease. “Cherise’s good friend, Crow, has take it for analysis. I wonder if he’s succeeded yer?
