Archie stood at the door, he spoke cautiously. 'Mistress, are you coming?"
Bertha said nothing, she frowned at Derek.
Derek didn't look at her but continued to lie down, he looked up at the sky with a lazy expression and cold aura, no one should come close.
What's wrong with him?
Bertha felt confused but now she had very important things to do.
She cautiously asked again. 'Derek, tell the truth, are you sure you're okay?"
Derek nodded gently, he said. 'I'm just sleepy, wait until you leave and then I'll sleep. Once I wake up, I'll be fine."
Bertha stared at him for a moment, then she looked at Bruno's car parked outside the villa. Confused, she sighed.
'Okay, you go to sleep. I will let Archie and the others guard the villa and not disturb your rest."
Having finished speaking, she turned around and went out.
Derek suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist, his dark eyes speaking seriously. 'Bertha, Bruno is not a simple person. The secret behind his back will be very detrimental to you. You must be careful in the future and be on guard against him."
Bertha didn't think much of it and left the room with a "Uhm".
Sunset.
The light breeze blew the thin silk curtains and occasionally fell on the man on the sofa next to the window.
Derek didn't move, he quietly observed the villa, Bertha got into Bruno's car, and she told Donald and Archie to go out and guard.
Until the car completely disappeared.
He painfully held the doorknob, the dull pain in his chest could no longer be suppressed, the smell of blood rose in his throat, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
After coughing, blood slid down his lips, and the blood in his palm flowed through his fingers and fell to the ground.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the color of blood in his palm.
It has a dark red color.
The amount of blood he vomited and the color of the blood became darker and darker.
This means that the S404 biochemical virus in his body has completely broken out.
He remembered that in the previous war when Dr. Ben from the laboratory developed this biochemical weapon, he came to observe. During the test, the small animal died on the spot.
Even a large animal infected with the S404 virus still cannot survive for three days.
Count the days he was poisoned.
Tonight is the third day...
He asked Jason to quickly return to the base to find Dr. Ben but he had not returned yet.
But he knew his body well, he probably couldn't stand it until Bertha finished her dinner.
Is he going to die?
He doesn't want to, but he is powerless.
Because now he doesn't even have the strength to write a suicide note.
It seemed like this was the first time Bertha had hugged him since the divorce.
No, she didn't, she was just touching his head.
Bruno is right, she only sees him as a pet anyway.
She... didn't love him anymore.
He thought about this, his consciousness gradually became dizzy, and his vision did not darken.
'Bertha. I give my life to you, give me your love, okay?'
He closed his eyes and endured, his hands hanging weakly, his attitude very gentle.
Quiet surroundings.
Besides the sound of the wind rustling the curtains, there was only the sound of a drop of blood flowing from his finger to the ground.
—
In the car, Bertha's heart suddenly ached violently.
She clutched her chest, her face pale with pain.
Bruno saw that her condition was not good so he hurriedly asked. "Bertha, what's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
He leaned forward, trying to help her.
Bertha raised her hand to refuse. After taking a few deep breaths, the pain in her heart gradually disappeared.
But why is it like that?
She has never had heart disease.
This time the pain was inexplicable.
'I'm okay, maybe because I haven't slept well in the past two days. Anyway, in a few days, I'll be fine."
Finally, the cold light in her eyes flashed slightly.
Bruno didn't pay attention to her eyes, he said a few words of comfort and love to her.
Bertha didn't listen at all.
Derek's pale and sickly face before she left suddenly and inexplicably appeared in her mind.
Tonight, he was very strange.
If he was going to die, would she miss him?
Is he like a person with a serious illness who is dissatisfied?
The more Bertha thought about it, the more strange she felt.
Especially before leaving, he grabbed her wrist and said the last few words.
He says. "Bruno is not a simple person. He may have secrets that are very detrimental to you. In the future, you must be careful to guard against him."
Now that she thought about it, this was very unusual.
Did he use the word 'later," seemingly excluding himself?
Thinking of his trembling hands, his frowning eyebrows, his weak helplessness that he couldn't hide, and the words if he died...
Bertha's breathing stopped, and she screamed at Bruno's driver. "Stop."
"What's the matter, Bertha?"
Bertha quickly unfastened her seat belt and opened the car door. "I have an urgent matter to go home tonight. I may not be able to eat this meal. We will eat next time."
"Ber..."
Bruno's voice was interrupted by her sudden closing of the door.
Because it was in a villa area in the middle of the bay, there would be no taxis on the side of the road, so when Bertha got out of Bruno's car, she could only jog back.
Bruno's car didn't go, it stopped at the spot before she left.
From the rearview mirror, he looked at the woman rushing back to the seaside villa, his expression gradually becoming secretive.
