Chapter 156 Adeline's Countermove

"And if you have any further requests for reconciliation, feel free to bring them up," Leo added.

Adeline instinctively glanced at Curtis.

Curtis had a hint of a smile on his lips as he spoke, "You are the victim. If you want to reconcile, go ahead; if you don't, then don't. It's up to you."

In a word, he supported whatever decision Adeline made.

Leo looked at Curtis with surprise, his brow furrowing slightly.

He keenly sensed that something was amiss in the relationship between these two.

Adeline was his daughter-in-law-to-be, so why would she seek Curtis's opinion?

And Curtis, who had never meddled in affairs like this before, why was he so concerned about Adeline's matter?

Leo felt the need to have a private conversation with Curtis after he managed to send Olivia away.

Something was off here.

Adeline understood Curtis's words and took a moment to respond, "Based on the promises you just made, I agree to reconcile. But this is the last chance. I know Logan's mother doesn't like me. And if it happens again, I won't let her go."

Leo showed a hint of surprise on his face.

He remembered Adeline as someone who was usually gentle and easy to talk to, even giving off an impression of being too submissive and lacking in assertiveness. He hadn't expected her to be so determined this time. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

That's good.

That's how she should be.

He nodded approvingly and said, "Alright, I understand. Thank you, Adeline."

With that, he smiled slightly, placed his hand on Curtis's shoulder, and squeezed it. He hinted at something, saying, "How about you and I have a chat, just the two of us?"

There was a fleeting moment when his gaze rested on Adeline.

Curtis knew what Leo wanted to talk about. He nodded and said, "Let's go to the study."

Before they left, he cast another reassuring glance at Adeline.

Adeline wasn't naive and could guess that Leo had noticed something about her relationship with Curtis.

Leo gracefully stood up and politely looked at Adeline. "My birthday is in a few days, Adeline. You should come over."

Adeline replied with a hint of a faint smile, "Sure, but in what capacity?"

Leo's brow instinctively furrowed.

Olivia looked at Adeline, Uncle Curtis, and her father, appearing utterly bewildered.

Before Leo could answer Adeline's question, his phone rang.

After answering the call, he exclaimed, "Is that true? Alright, I'll be there right away!"

He hung up the phone and immediately crouched in front of Curtis, locking his eyes with him.

"I just received news that Fermet Lab has cultivated the X-ring Antibody! If true, the virus can be eliminated from your body!"

Curtis's eyelids drooped slightly, his expression unreadable. "Leo, I'm fine. It's been many years since I had an outbreak."

"No! My lifelong wish is to help you detoxify! Even if you're not experiencing symptoms, as long as the virus still exists in your body, I won't give up!"

He tightly grasped Curtis's knee. "We don't know what's wrong with your legs, but you can't stand up. It's very likely due to the virus. You will get better if we can successfully cultivate and replicate the X-ring Antibody!"

Leo became increasingly excited as he spoke and immediately instructed his assistant to book a flight.

Curtis held onto Leo's hand. "Leo, your birthday is coming up..."

"It's okay. Birthdays come every year, and I can return before my birthday. Don't worry."

With those words, Leo left with his assistant.

After Leo left, Curtis made a call to Steffen. "My brother is heading to Fermet Lab. Send some people to protect him during the journey."

Steffen agreed.

Once Leo was gone, Olivia was also called by her friends to go out and play.

Seeing that Curtis had been in a low mood, Adeline approached him and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. She asked, "What's wrong?"
