Begging Her Brothers
Under her pacification, Cedrick gradually turned calm.
He grasped her hand as if he had found an incredibly comforting presence.
“Gwenny, don’t meet with Charles. Don’t agree to his terms!”
Gwendolyn hesitated.
“Gwenny, promise me, as we agreed before!”
Cedrick gripped her hand tightly, not noticing he was causing red marks to form on her hand.
“I promise you I’ll never marry him, but… I’m sorry!”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Gwendolyn used her free hand to strike the back of his head
with all her force to knock him out.
She cradled him in her arms, pressing her face against his forehead, and gently caressed him
Tears streamed down the corner of her eyes and disappeared without a trace as they slid into her hair.
She mumbled, “Go to sleep, Ceddy. Leave the rest to me.”
Nico hastily went upstairs again. When he saw the scene in the corner of the wardrobe, he was taken
aback. “Ms. Gwendolyn, what happened to Boss?”
Gwendolyn didn’t have the time to explain and merely said, “Come and carry him. We’re going to the
laboratory.”
Without dithering, Nico immediately crouched down and took the unconscious Cedrick from her.
As soon as they arrived at the laboratory in haste, Joshua swiftly performed a series of diagnostic tests
on Cedrick.
The atmosphere inside the room was tense.
Joshua furrowed his brows and sighed continuously. “Cedrick’s condition is awful. The blue serum has
lost its efficacy and is even causing side effects, making the virus spread faster. If we don’t use another
blue serum as soon as possible or find an antidote to cure the disease, Cedric can’t hold on for a
month.”
Nico’s expression changed drastically. “What? Not even a month left?”
Under such heavy ambiance, Gwendolyn seemed much more composed.
No one saw her hands that were hidden in her sleeves. She was actually digging her fingernails deep
into her palms to help keep her voice from shaking. “You two take care of Ceddy. I have to go out and
attend to -some matters.”
After exiting the laboratory, she got into the car and took the initiative to contact Charles.
Charles was delighted as he spoke in an uplifted tone. “Oh? I didn’t expect you to call me so soon,
Gwen. Let me guess. Has the serum lost its effects?”
A cold glint flashed across Gwendolyn’s eyes as she suppressed the boiling anger within her chest.

“You’re truly despicable, Charles.”
“How am I despicable? I’ve told you early on that you must make a prompt decision, Gwen. I am not
responsible for any unpleasant consequences taking place now,” he replied. Gwen. I am not
Judging by Gwendolyn’s urgency in making the call, Charles figured Cedrick’s health must be
deteriorating.
At that thought, Charles felt extremely cheerful.
A desire to murder him washed over Gwendolyn. “Where’s the antidote?”
“So, are you agreeing to my conditions?”
Not responding to his question, she asked in return, “You don’t even dare to tell me the name of the
antidote, so why should I believe if you really know about it? I need to make sure you’re not tricking me
before I consider agreeing.”
He uttered with alacrity, “Fine. I’ll tell you. Without me, you won’t be able to acquire it anyway. Currently,
the only antidote that can cure S404 RNA virus in the market is Erihal’s Super Antivi anyway. Currently,
Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes and quietly memorized the name of the medicine.
Charles continued, “If you consider agreeing to my terms, come find me in Erihal. I want to have a
unique wedding with you in a foreign land. However, let me remind you. You can only come alone. If I
find out that Asher, Kieran, or anyone else dares to follow, you’ll bear the consequences.” resto
His tone grew more sinister and carried a hidden threat toward the end of his sentence.
Gwendolyn kept a lid on her rage. “I’ll contact you again once I verify the authenticity of your words.”
“All right. I’ll be waiting for your call. See you, Gwen.”
After hanging up, she immediately called Kieran.
Kieran was aware of that medicine.

“This Super Antiviral was developed by a biologist many years ago. It has a miraculous effect in
targeting biochemical viruses, but to this day, only a small vial is available. This medication is priceless.
Erihal is a constitutional monarchy, so the drug belongs to the royal family. It’s hard even to catch a
glimpse of it. Why did you suddenly bring it up?”
Gwendolyn couldn’t help but answer in a tearful voice, “Kieran, I need you.”
Perhaps it was the effect of the virus in his body causing Cedrick to remain unconscious for a full day
after being knocked out.
While he was asleep, Gwendolyn didn’t stay idle.
Instead, she saw to many things.
Kieran had gone on a business trip to the neighboring city, Avenport, which wasn’t far away. He hurried
back to Salinsburgh within an hour by plane.
Gwendolyn also called Asher and Treyton over. She asked Joshua to clear the laboratory’s reception
room, gathering her three elder brothers in the room after a long separation.

At that moment, three men of different temperaments sat on the chairs, all looking at their sister,
standing in the middle of the carpet.
Noticing her reddened eyes, Asher was the first to ask. “Kiddo, what’s wrong?”
She pursed her lips in silence, bent her knees, and knelt on the floor.
The three men were baffled by her drastic reaction.
Treyton got to his feet, wanting to help Gwendolyn up. “Kiddo, what’s the matter? Tell me, and I’ll help
you.”
Unwilling to get up, Gwendolyn uttered solemnly, “This is the first time in my life I’m actively asking for
‘my brothers‘ assistance. I’ve reached a point where I have no other choice but to do so.”
The trio exchanged glances, quietly waiting for her to continue.
“Cedrick has been infected with the S404 RNA virus. His body is almost at its limit. He’s in this state
because of me, so I must save him, and I need my brothers‘ help to accomplish this.”
Asher and Kieran didn’t say a word while Treyton asked, “How do you want us to help you?”
“I’ll be going abroad in the next few days. While I’m gone, I hope you’ll help me protect Cedrick, Asher.
Cedrick is the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so if he’s absent from public affairs for a
long period, both Craig and Yael will become suspicious. Kieran, Treyton, I would like you to help me
take care of Cedrick. He has lost his vision because of the virus. I can’t be at ease, allowing others to
care for him, so I can only ask you to do me this favor. As for his condition, I hope all of you can help
me keep it a secret.”
Kieran frowned and questioned Gwendolyn sensibly, “So, you asked me about the Super Antiviral
today because you’re planning to visit Erihal to help Cedrick acquire the antidote in person?”
Super Antiviral was indeed able to eliminate the virus in Cedrick’s body and cure him, but it was difficult
to obtain the medication.
Gwendolyn didn’t deny how arduous the task was.
Asher’s gaze darkened as a stern expression spread across his face. “No way. That’s too dangerous.
You’re not allowed to go!”
Although his position in the military was high, and he wielded significant power, that was only restricted
to areas within Chanaea.
His protection over Gwendolyn couldn’t extend beyond Chanaea’s borders, especially since she was
planning to go to Erihal.
To successfully acquire the antidote from Erihal’s royal family and then return unscathed was almost
unachievable.
“Asher, I’ve made up my mind. You know me well. Once I’ve decided on a plan of action, you can’t stop
1. me.
Asher was also firm in his stance. “No means no, I never thought Cedrick would sacrifice so much for
you, and I’m utterly grateful to him. Still, that doesn’t mean I will stand by and watch as you risk your life
to save his! You can call me selfish or realistic, but your safety is my priority. If you are determined to
go, I can only resort to harsh measures, taking you back to the Harris residence and detaining you
there.”

Kieran didn’t speak, seemingly in agreement with Asher’s opinion.

Treyton didn’t have much say in front of his eldest brother. Complex emotions churned within him as he
looked at Gwendolyn. “Kiddo, why don’t you listen to Asher…”
Gwendolyn was deeply astounded and despaired.
She didn’t dare to inform her brothers about what happened because she feared the news might leak
out. Secondly, she was afraid her brothers would prevent her from continuing to be with Cedrick
despite their gratitude..
Unexpectedly, her guesses were on point.
