My Substitute CEO Bride

“Love is supposed to be a mutual pursuit, right?”

Nash said with a smile.

Hera was a bit stunned. “What does a mutual pursuit mean?”

He scratched his head. “I’ve never been in a relationship, so I can’t really say. I guess it means you like me and I like you too?”

She chuckled. “You do give me a different feeling. Even though we just met, having you by my side makes me feel secure. Maybe that’s what liking someone feels like!”

Nash smirked. “That’s good. Once the old man recovers his memory, we’ll just go and get married!”

“And what about you? How do you feel about me?”

A charming expression appeared on Hera’s pretty face.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, “I want to protect you!”

Though it was just five words, Hera found them as sweet as honey.

Images of Nash saving her and Skadi involuntarily flashed through her mind.

Perhaps, it was from that moment that she had a sense of absolute security when she was with him.

She smiled sweetly. “It’s getting late. You should rest early. I’m going to sleep too!”

“Goodnight!”

Nash said goodnight and hung up the phone.

He casually tossed his phone on the pillow, put on the mask, and jumped out of the window.

Herman’s eldest brother, Cain, and his two cousins each had their own villas in the Lewis family’s estate.

Inside his study, Cain yawned and put the books on the table back on the shelf.

Then, he went to his bedroom to sleep.

Upon entering the bedroom, he turned on the lights and closed the door behind him. He walked toward the bed.

Just as he reached the bedside, he noticed a masked figure standing by the window.

Cain was startled and turned around to run outside.

However, just as he reached out to open the door, he heard a swoosh from behind.

He turned around, only to see a red dagger stuck in the door next to his ear.

Cain’s legs went weak with fright, and he trembled as he asked, “Who are you exactly?”

This person could bypass the Lewises’ security system and enter his room, so he was clearly not an ordinary person.

Cain did not think he had offended anyone, so why would such a skilled individual come for him?

Could it be someone hired by Hugo Zabinski?

“Why did you harm Herman?”

The masked person asked with a sinister tone.

“What do

you

mean?

“L… I don’t understand what you’re saying!”

Cain averted his gaze, unable to meet the masked person’s eyes directly.

“You had the nanny inject Herman with a biochemical agent. Where did that agent come from?” Nash continued to ask, suppressing his voice.

“What agent?

“I… I really don’t understand what you’re saying!”

Cain’s gaze kept shifting.

Nash took out a mini syringe from his pocket and slowly approached Cain, sneering, “Inside this syringe is cancer cells and a catalyst. Just one night is enough to turn you from a normal person into someone with late-stage cancer!”

Cain trembled when he heard this. “You… You… Stay away…”

He did not dare to further question the masked person’s words.

After all, he had witnessed the effects of such an agent firsthand.

Herman had been saved by that kid, Nash, but he would not be so lucky.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“You… You’re one of them… You won’t even let me go?”

At this moment, he could only connect the masked person with the one who gave him the agent.
