Chapter 13: Premarital Checkups

  • Jayden hadn't finished speaking when he heard the sound of a dog barking. He looked up and saw the security guard with a fierce dog on a leash.
  • The dog showed its sharp teeth and stared at him ferociously as if looking at its prey.
  • Jayden panicked at the sight of it.
  • The security guard untied the dog leash.
  • "Woof! Woof!"
  • The dog jumped up and pounced towards Jayden.
  • Jayden's face turned pale with fear while he instinctively turned around and ran: "Juliana, I don't care about you anymore!"
  • Juliana and Benson stood in the doorway, watching Jayden being chased by the dog, whose instinct for survival inspired his potential to run fast.
  • It looked like Jayden would be bitten by the dog soon.
  • Benson slightly raised an eyebrow in a good mood, "Mrs. Leach, you're so ruthless to set a dog on the man you loved before."
  • Juliana looked up at him, "So, don't mess with me or I'll murder my own husband."
  • Benson bent down, leaned close to her, and came face to face with her: "Mrs. Leach, are you that good at flirting?"
  • Juliana didn't dodge, but stared straight at him: "Mr. Leach, do I need to flirt with you?"
  • The two of them stopped talking and didn't look away.
  • They stood face to face and their breaths intertwined as the sunlight fell on them.
  • The atmosphere between the two was inexplicably harmonious.
  • Old Mr. Leach saw the scene and hurriedly took a picture of it with his cell phone.
  • The granddaughter-in-law was good enough to handle his grandson.
  • In the end, it was Benson who got defeated. Her eyes were beautiful, especially when they reflected his face.
  • And the fresh medicinal scent on her attracted him and soothed his mania in particular.
  • Benson stood with his hands in his pockets and asked her, "Mrs. Leach, what's next?"
  • Juliana looked away as well, "I will accompany you for a general checkup."
  • She didn't know much about Benson's condition yet. She didn't apply medicine according to indications last night but merely used acupuncture to put him to sleep.
  • However, it seemed that it didn't work.
  • Benson's mania was not a disease, but a poison.
  • Someone had poisoned him. If that person knew she could cure him, she would have to die first.
  • Benson: "Premarital checkups or pre-pregnancy examination?"
  • "Andrology, premature ejaculation." Juliana said and went upstairs.
  • Benson: ...
  • Seeing his own grandson defeated, old Mr. Leach laughed heartily.
  • ...
  • During the day, Juliana accompanied Benson to have a physical examination.
  • The results of the examination came out in the evening.
  • Benson watched as Juliana sat on the sofa, looking down at all the examination reports, frowning at times and compressing her lips at others.
  • The soft light fell on her body, which seemed to be gilded with a layer of gold and hazy light, extremely appealing.
  • Benson felt a little tickled looking at her and missed the smell of her body.
  • "How's it?"
  • Juliana had read not only today's examination reports but also the previous reports.
  • She looked up at him, "The examination results do not match your physical condition. On the report, there is nothing wrong with your body except for your mental state."
  • But when she took his pulse, she noticed that he was poisoned with a special kind of neurotoxin.
  • Benson narrowed his eyes slightly, penetrating a sense of danger: "The results are false?"
  • His grandfather had arranged a medical team specifically for him because of his illness.
  • If his illness was not controlled or treated any longer, he would die!
  • Juliana didn't bother to read the rest of the checklist: "Not necessarily. I need to check further."
  • She had to find out what kind of neurotoxin it was so she could work on an antidote.
  • Benson nodded: "Okay."
  • Juliana was surprised to see his quick agreement: "Don't you suspect me?"
