The Billionaire's Genius Wife

As Seven prepared to respond, the laboratory door opened, and Nine emerged.

With a tense expression, Scarlett hurried towards him. "Brother Nine, please, what are the test results?"

"Why are you both waiting here?" Nine was surprised to see Scarlett and Seven standing in the corridor before his laboratory. "Have you been waiting for over an hour in this place!?"

They both nodded at the same time.

The corner of Nine's mouth slightly lifted, forming a faint smile. He shook his head, saying, "You guys didn't need to—"

"Brother, hurry up and tell me the results. Please..." Scarlett interrupted Nine. She was anxious to hear the poison test results. "And where's my mother?" Her heart raced like war drums, beating faster and louder when she didn't see her mother coming out of the room.

Nine didn't immediately respond to Scarlett but asked her to follow him to the nearby lounge. As Nine settled in his chair, he saw Scarlett and Seven sitting across from him, wearing the same tense and worried expression.

His gaze fell on Scarlett before he said, "Little sister, even though your mother looks healthy and strong on the outside, she's not. She hasn't been sleeping well due to acute insomnia. Also, several of her organs are damaged due to an irregular lifestyle and eating pattern."

Scarlett's face fell, her hands turning cold as she heard Nine's words. She pressed her lips together, trying not to interrupt, and waited for him to finish speaking.

"I gave Aunty Rosalie sleeping pills so she could rest, and I also gave her some medicine to heal her internal injuries faster," Nine said.

Scarlett felt fear when she realized Nine hadn't mentioned anything else. He hadn't brought up the poison threatening her mother, and his silence might signal that he failed to find the antidote. Time was running out; her mother could die in just a few hours if they didn't find an antidote.

"Brother Nine, what about the poison?" Scarlett asked, her voice filled with worry.

Hearing Scarlett's question reminded Nine that the poison flowing in Rosalie's blood was his creation. The poison he made was limited and only sold to specific people at high prices. He only sold small amounts of it and the antidote each month. He never imagined that one of his poison buyers was Allaistar Parker.

"Oh, sorry, sister, I forgot to tell you," Nine paused when he noticed Scarlett frowning more deeply. He smiled at her, "You know what, sis, the buyer of my poison was that evil man..."

"What do you mean, Brother Nine?" Scarlett asked, confused by his answer. "Did you find the antidote or not? We're running out of time. If you don't find it, I'll ask Xander to make Allaistar talk!!" She said, annoyed.

"Relax, little sister!" Seven couldn't help but speak after hearing Scarlett's anger rise. "Nine already gave you an answer. The buyer of his potion was Allaistar Parker..."

"Oh my God!!" Scarlett turned her gaze to Nine when she realized Nine words. "So, are you saying you've cured my mother!?" she gasped in surprise, feeling utterly relieved that Nine was the one who created the poison.

"Yes. Your mother will be fine. However, the traces of poison in her blood won't disappear instantly. I need to give her the antidote gradually. Maybe two or three times..." Nine explained the healing method he would use for Rosalie.

After hearing Nine's explanation, Scarlett couldn't hold back her tears of joy. She said to Nine, "Brother, thank you so much. I am very grateful for your help this time. I owe you my life, brother Nine..." She sincerely said.

"Hahaha," Nine's laughter echoed in the room as he heard Scarlett's words. "Well, in that case, you seem to owe me two lives, sister..."

"Two lives?" Scarlett asked.

"Yes, your father. I think the poison that affected your father also came from me. I need to test his blood as well. Can you ask him to come here?" Nine said.

Scarlett's eyes lit up with joy upon hearing that Nine made the poison that harmed her father; it means her father also will get his antidote. However, the happiness that flashes through her eyes slowly fades when she remembers something.

"No. We can't bring my father here!" Scarlett immediately refused. Even though she wanted her father to be free from the poison faster, she couldn't let him come here because she had promised her mother not to tell her father that she already found her mother.

Nine was surprised to hear Scarlett's refusal. "Little sister, are you now cutting ties with your father after finding your mother?" he asked, confused.

Seven, who heard that, was almost choked. "What the heck, Scarlett!? How could you—" Seven's voice abruptly stopped when he saw her glare at him.

"What are you guys talking about!?" Scarlett rolled her eyes at their words. "Of course not. But you can't bring my father here; my mother doesn't want to meet him yet..." She explained.

Nine and Seven immediately burst into laughter, indicating their clear understanding of the situation.

Scarlett, "..."

After their laughter subsided, she asked Nine, "How many hours until my mother wakes up?"

"She'll wake up around tomorrow morning," said Nine, looking at the watch on his arm.

"Brother, let's go to the hospital now," Scarlett said, standing up from her seat. She glanced at Seven, "Brother Allen, please stay here to guard my mother. If she wakes up before we return, tell her I went to the hospital to help my father..."

After Scarlett briefly spoke with Seven and Rex, who had just returned from his office, she rushed to the hospital with Nine.

...

When Scarlett arrives at the hospital, she is shocked to see Xander standing in the lobby.

Instantly, she feels terrible because she completely forgot about him. She was too focused on waiting for the test results and didn't call Xander.

"Hubby..." She threw herself into his arms, displaying public affection to Nine and everyone else in the hospital lobby. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Xander hugged her tightly while lowering his head near her ear and whispered, "I heard from Simon that you came here, so I waited for you..."
