Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 495: When the poison takes effect, life is worse than death…
Muir turned around and left with a worried face.
Ralph Carter continued to torture Virgil Davies.
After over two hours of brutal torture, Virgil Davies passed out from the pain.
However, during those two hours, Virgil Davies gritted his teeth and didn’t reveal the whereabouts of the antidote.
Because he deeply knew that if he didn’t reveal the whereabouts of the antidote, he could still live; but once he did, his death would be near.
His grand dreams were not yet realized, and the people he wanted to kill were not yet all dead. How could he die? How could he afford to die?
So no matter how Ralph Carter tortured him, he never uttered a word about the antidote, until he passed out from Ralph Carter’s torment.
Seeing Virgil Davies pass out, Ralph Carter immediately brought a basin of chili water and splashed it all over Virgil Davies.
Unsurprisingly, the pain of being doused woke Virgil Davies up from his faint.
Upon waking, Virgil Davies looked at Ralph Carter with resentment and spat blood-streaked water towards his face.
Ralph Carter skillfully dodged, a long whip striking fiercely at Virgil Davies’s blood-soaked wound just covered in chili water.
"Ah! ..." Virgil Davies screamed in agony, then looked at Ralph Carter, arrogantly taunting, "I tell you, even if you use every punishment on me, it’s useless! If you want me to reveal the whereabouts of the antidote, there’s no way!"
After saying this, he even wore a bloody smile, looking at Ralph Carter and jabbing at his pain: "Your brother died because of me. You really want to kill me, don’t you? But you don’t dare! Because if I die, you will never know the whereabouts of the antidote, and your princess will die along with me! Haha..."
"Yes, I can’t kill you, but the punishments of Whitehill are not as easy to get through as you think." Ralph Carter said grimly, continuing to inflict torture on Virgil Davies.
Virgil Davies was tortured into a pitiful state, looking at Ralph Carter with hatred, "If you have the guts, just kill me!"
Ralph Carter sneered coldly, walking forward with a sharp dagger, "Want to die? That’ll have to wait until you hand over the antidote! Before you do, I will take good care of you."
He played with the dagger in his hand, showing it to Virgil Davies, "Do you see this dagger? It cuts through iron like mud. If I were to slice off your flesh piece by piece with it... wouldn’t that pain be worse than what the princess is enduring?"
After saying this, he added with chilling indifference, "Rest assured, I know my limits. I’ll never let you die."
If it weren’t for the princess being poisoned, he would have shot this scourge dead long ago, as a tribute to the memory of the deceased Yue.
But now is not the time, now before he reveals the whereabouts of the antidote, he shall torture him severely, let him taste the agony worse than death, force him to reveal the antidote’s whereabouts.
...
Returning to the palace, Mark immediately carried the fainted Melody Parker back to her chamber...
As the two children were too young, they did not bring them along when they went to the northern tribe, instead, they had stayed at the palace.
Upon hearing that Mommy returned, the two children immediately ran over.
Seeing Mark carrying Mommy, the two children worriedly asked, "What happened? Mommy she..."
Mark looked at the two children, reassuring them, "Your Mommy is okay, she just... fainted."
The two children followed Mark in the direction of Melody Parker’s chamber, anxiously and worriedly asking, "Why did she faint all of a sudden?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Benjamin Parker looked at Mark, "Mark, is it because the poison in Mommy’s body flared up?"
Daniel Davies also thought of this possibility, looking at Mark, coldly and decisively asking, "Did you not get the antidote from Virgil Davies?"
Amidst the children’s questions, Mark carried Melody Parker into her chamber.
He laid Melody Parker on the bed, looking at Melody Parker’s tormented state, speaking harshly, "Virgil Davies, that scum, refuses to hand over the antidote. But I will make him hand it over!"
Previously, because Mark was carrying Melody Parker, the two children couldn’t see Melody Parker’s face, they only saw her being carried by Mark, appearing very thin.
Moreover, dirt stained her clothes, as if she had rolled on the ground.
Now, after Mark placed Melody Parker on the bed, the two children could finally see what Melody Parker looked like.
Seeing Melody Parker’s tortured appearance, the two children cried out loud.
Mommy was beyond merely thin!
Her hair was disheveled, her face was pale.
Moreover, Mommy’s hands and wrists bore bruises.
These were fingerprints left by someone grabbing her forcefully...
Benjamin Parker looked at Melody Parker in distress, inquiring, "When the poison flares up, is Mommy in a lot of pain?"
Mark nodded, not hiding anything, "Yes! Worse than death!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
A murderous intent immediately enveloped Benjamin Parker.
For his selfish ambitions, that sadist Virgil Davies made his father’s whereabouts unknown and left his mother...
Benjamin Parker’s eyes turned blood-red as he looked at Mark, coldly shouting in anger, "Where’s Virgil Davies? I want to kill him!"
Mark extended his arms to hold Benjamin Parker back, "Don’t worry, he’s in the Whitehill prison now and can’t escape. Ralph Carter is dealing with him, he will make him hand over the antidote!"
Daniel Davies was also full of murder intent, similarly wanting to rush to Virgil Davies’s face, and personally put an end to the sadist who brought their family to this point.
However, unlike Benjamin, he was slightly calmer and more collected.
Hearing Mark’s words, he analyzed and said, "Since Virgil Davies didn’t have the antidote on him, he must have left it somewhere or entrusted someone to keep it."
After saying this, he looked at Mark, "Have someone investigate all the places Virgil Davies has been and everyone he’s been in contact with!"
Mark looked at Daniel Davies, "Already arranged for people to do it."
...
When Muir came in, the two children were sitting in front of Melody Parker’s bed, looking at Melody Parker with heartache, tidying her disheveled face and messy hair.
And Mark just stood there quietly, watching the woman and the children on the bed.
Muir approached, seeing Mark’s bitten arm, and instructed Tannis who came in with him, "Tannis, his arm is injured. Apply medicine and bandage it."
Tannis nodded, "Okay."
"I’m fine, no need to bandage it." Mark refused, looking at Tannis, "Check on Melody first, see if you can research a medicine to control or lessen her pain. That Virgil Davies won’t easily hand over the antidote, and our people need time to search places where he may have hidden the antidote."
Tannis nodded.
