Chapter 257 Kneel Down On My Knees

After ending the call, Hearst stared at Mrs. Miao with a grave expression. Mrs. Miao still looked at him calmly, and said lightly, "Since your wife has showed signs of a high fever, it means that she only has three or four days of life. If you can't give the antidote to her in time, she will die."

It never occurred to him that this kind of drug would be so scary. Seeing that Mrs. Miao was still determined, Hearst made a shocking decision. Getting down on his knees, Hearst lowered his head and begged, "Mrs. Miao, I've never begged anyone in my life. Please, give me the antidote."

Mrs. Miao looked at him in astonishment. Though they had just met each other for a few days, Mrs. Miao sensed that he was a bossy man with high self-esteem. She didn't expect such a noble man to kneel.

"Heidy is the most important person in my life. I can't lose her. Mrs. Miao, please give me the antidote. I can't live without her, and our children will lose their mother," said Hearst in a hoarse voice.

Seeing he speak in a humble manner, Mrs. Miao softened her heart. But thinking of her poor granddaughter, Mrs. Miao couldn't make a compromise. "Even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't promise you. If you really want your wife to be alive, you have to sacrifice your own happiness for her life. I will help you only if you marry my granddaughter. And your wife can survive."

Hearst didn't say anything, but clenched his fists tightly. At the thought of Heidy's face, Hearst looked at her in grief. He couldn't bear to see her die. Then he slowly stood up and clenched his fists. He closed his eyes and concealed all his pain. "Okay, I promise. As long as she is alive."

A satisfied smile appeared on her face. She then added, "You have to swear that you won't tell Cathy that I made a deal with you, and you won't let anyone else know. Otherwise, your wife will be punished. My family has a lot of witchcraft. I have tons of ways to make your wife suffer."

Hearst looked at her fiercely, with strong hatred in his eyes. But in the end, he could only slowly loosen his fists. "Okay, I promise you," said Hearst in a low voice.

"You must take good care of Cathy from the bottom of your heart. She is an innocent girl and she is too pure to understand many things. I have been mixed with another herb in the antidote. Half a year later, you must come back to get the antidote. Otherwise, your wife will also die. You have to love Cathy as much as you love your wife, or else I won't give you the antidote in half a year," said Mrs. Miao.

Hearing her words, Hearst sneered, "Do you think she will be happy after you arranged everything for her like that? I will only love my wife for my whole life. I will never fall in love with anyone else."

"She is a good girl. I believe that you will fall in love with

matter what it takes, I will protect you from any danger."

Hearing what he said, Heidy smiled happily and asked curiously, "By the way, how was your trip? Did that old lady just give you the antidote?"

Something flashed in his eyes. Then, he replied calmly, "Yes, everything went well. I was scared to death when I heard you still have a high fever."

With a pale smile on her face, Heidy stood up slowly. She leaned on his shoulder and said with a smile, "When you were away, I had a long dream. I dreamed that you abandoned me and were staying with another woman. I wanted to wake up, but I just couldn't. It's funny. I never have such a dream."

Stopping what he was doing, there was pain flashing across his eyes. Without letting her see, he slowly closed his eyes. As Mrs. Miao said, he traded his own happiness for Heidy's safety. At least she was alive and they were living under the same roof together. If she died, he would never see her again.

"It's just a dream," said Hearst in a hoarse voice.

With a nod, Heidy said with a smile, "I know. It was a dream, so I want to wake up as soon as possible. I won't have that kind of dream when you are with me."

Without saying a word, Hearst held her more tightly. Heidy nestled against his chest with a happy smile on her face. However, this moment was so short.

Heidy fell asleep soon. Then Hearst sat on the edge of the bed, watching her fall asleep quietly. Holding her hand, he kiss her on the back of her hand. He said with a heavy heart, "Heidy, I hope we can be happy. I hope they could figure out what kind of herb is it in the antidote."

Only when he knew what kind of herb it was could he avoid being threatened by Mrs. Miao. Thinking of this, he felt mixed feelings. If he couldn't find it out, was it the end of his relationship with Heidy? Thinking of this, he was in the depths of despair.
