"Maybe."
Samuel agreed.
As few people knew it, it couldn't be a coincidence.
Waiting was a torment. Samuel asked Nicole to go to sleep first. But she could not sleep and was
hungry.
"I'll make you something to eat."
And Samuel felt hungry, too.
"I'll do it."
Nicole knew that Samuel hadn't rested well while she had slept for a while. So she intended to go
downstairs to cook, but he stopped her.
"Stay here. The cooking smell is terrible."
Then he went downstairs.
She curled up her lips slightly.
The cooking smell?
It was as if he wouldn't get it on him when he entered the kitchen, but it was good to be spoiled.
Although what he cooked was just two bowls of egg noodles, she liked it very much.
Perhaps this was the so-called "Love me love my money". They were married for many years, but he
still cherished her.
After they finished their meal, she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and he did not stop her.
Morgan arrived at five in the morning and was taken to the basement by Samuel.
Dylan was stunned when he saw Nicole bring a woman in. He dared not to ask but stepped aside.
Morgan frowned when she saw Aiden.
"Mr. Green, is he controlled by bugs?"
"Can you remove the bugs?"
"Yes, but it takes time."
Hearing her words, Samuel nodded and said, "I'll leave this to you."
Then he took a few steps back.
He was still quite disgusted with bugs, even though he was a member of the Harper Town.
Dylan was slightly stunned when he heard their conversation.
Few people knew it and it was mysterious to many people. Dylan had been together with him for many
years. If Aiden really had the bugs, it would be horrified for him.
"Are these bugs contagious?"
This was what Dylan was most concerned about.
Although Morgan didn't know who Dylan was, he probably wasn't Samuel's enemy because he wasn't
tied up. Morgan said calmly, "No, unless he puts bugs on you."
Then Morgan began to concentrate on removing the bugs from Aiden's body.
Dylan wanted to ask more questions but he held back, because Samuel seemed to be unhappy. But he
still felt very nervous.
Did Aiden put bugs on him?
He kept thinking about it and trying to figure out whether there were any problems with his body.
Samuel didn't care what he was thinking. What he cared about was Aiden's life.
Morgan was skilled in removing bugs, but Aiden still felt great pain and almost bit his tongue.
Samuel ordered someone to hold Aiden still. Morgan seemed to be indifferent to Aiden's pain. She said
to Samuel, "This kind of bug is a common method to punish those who are disobedient. When being
punished, he would feel extremely painful and wants to die by biting his tongue. Eggs of these bugs
would be put into his body first and starts to grow up. Normally, there wouldn't be any problems unless
someone controls the mother bug to do the harm."
Samuel frowned and asked, "Would the person behind this know if we take out the bug?"
"No, this isn't a deadly bug. It will only bring people pain. Even when we take it out, the mother bug
wouldn't be affected. But there is a problem."
As Morgan spoke, she picked up a blue threadworm with tweezers from Aiden's skin.
The worm was alive, and Morgan quickly tossed it onto a plate beside. There was some liquid on the
plate. The worm immediately melted in it.
Dylan was dumbfounded.
'Oh, God!'
'There are indeed unknown creatures in this world.'
'I couldn't believe it.'
But Morgan and Samuel did not care what he thought. Morgan quickly threw a pill into Aiden's mouth
and it quickly melted in his mouth.
She continued, "The problem is whether there are two bug eggs. Sometimes the bugs grow at the
same time, while in other situations, one only grows when the other is dead. I'm not sure how many
bugs are there in his body right now. We have to bet on this."
Samuel frowned.
He thought, "This thing is really troublesome."
"If there are two bugs, how long will it take for the other one to grow up?"
"Maybe three to six months."
"Will he die if there are any problems during this period?"
"Yes."
Samuel was in a dilemma, but he still said, "Then we need to take the time to ask him. Even if he is
going to die tomorrow, I need the truth today. Do you understand what I mean?"
Morgan immediately nodded.
Since Morgan was here, Samuel had no intention of letting her go. She was skilled in this field and
could help a lot.
"Go upstairs and rest. I might need your help tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
Morgan did not ask anything else. She packed up and left.
Dylan was still in a daze. Then he asked nervously, "Aiden..."
"Did you see that bug?"
Samuel glanced at him, and Dylan was profoundly scared.
"Yes, I saw it."
"If you want to have a taste of it, Morgan can help you."
Dylan was scared to death.
"Mr. Green, I am loyal to you. I don't think I need it."
His forehead was wet with cold sweats.
It was hard to imagine how horrid it would be to have a bug in his body, and the bug kept sucking his
blood.
This was what Samuel wanted.
"You should remember. I saved you from Mr. Morty. Do you really think he would let you go? It is
because that you are useful to me. If not, you don't even have a chance to survive."
Samuel was outspoken in this.
Dylan was smart, and he knew how to save his own life.
There were many people like Dylan in the world, but some of them were disdained to change
themselves. What impressed Samuel most was Dylan's ability to adapt to the situation regardless of his
own reluctance.
If not so, how could he live in the slum for eight years with who he used to be?
Dylan was really afraid this time.
He sat on the ground and sad in a tearful voice, "Mr. Green, please give me a chance to live. I promise
that I will be loyal to you from now on. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Remember what you said today. There will be a time when you have to fulfill your promise. Now go
upstairs and take a rest. You'll have a lot to do tomorrow."
Samuel wouldn't be too harsh on him.
"Okay."
Dylan didn't want to stay here longer and quickly left.
Aiden felt exhausted after Morgan had removed the bug in his body. It took time for him to recover and
wake up. Therefore, Samuel could do nothing even if he was eager to know the truth.
He looked at Aiden and said to the people beside him, "Keep an eye on him. Give him four hours to
rest. Four hours later, I need to get something useful from him."
"Yes, Mr. Green."
He stood up and left.
At the sight of Morgan, Nicole knew that she had already finished it. She couldn't help but ask, "How
was it?"
"It was going well, but there are still some problems needed to be solved tomorrow."
Morgan said respectfully.
Seeing Morgan was tired, she said "Go back and rest. We'll talk later."
"Okay."
Not long after Morgan returned to her room, Dylan also came out, looking pale. When he saw Nicole,
he greeted her and went to the guest room.
When Nicole poured a cup of coffee to drink, Samuel was also back.
He frowned slightly when he saw the coffee in her hand. Seeing she was enjoying it, he did not say
anything, but then he moved the coffee machine away.
Seeing this, Nicole couldn't help but curl her lips.
She thought, "He was really..."
She shook her head. Then Samuel came to her with a glass of warm water.
She sighed. Then she gave the coffee to him and took the water from his hand.
Water was tasteless, but it was enough for her to drink some coffee. If there was something wrong with
her, he would worry her and she would be suffering from it.
Nicole took a sip of water, and then Samuel said, "It takes time to wait for Aiden's confession. Why not
go back to sleep?"
"I am missing my son."
She was worried about Tim and Evelyn, but there were no clues at all. What she could do was to wait
for Aiden to wake up.
It suddenly dawned on her that Lucas had asked her if she would be here during this period of time.
Lucas had bought mangoes for her, so he probably was in Country Y.
Hearing these, Samuel felt somewhat unhappy, but he couldn't disappoint her.
Nicole kept worried about Tim and Evelyn. She probably would be happier when she saw Lucas.
"Alright, I'll send someone to pick him up."
When Nicole heard this, she was stunned for a moment.
"Do you know where Lucas is?"
She was worried about Tim and Evelyn, but there were no clues at all. What she could do was to wait
for Aiden to wake up.
It suddenly dawned on her that Lucas had asked her if she would be here during this period of time.
