Chapter 141: 80% Confidence

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: 80% Confidence

Elena Ryan’s body tensed up sharply, and she turned her head in surprise, "Liam, you’re back?"

She retracted her foot, a flash of delight crossing the depths of her eyes.

Liam Shaw approached, his eyebrows tightly knitted in a frown, "Mom, did you have a conflict with Serena again just now?"

A hint of unease flitted through Elena’s eyes, and she forced a smile, "No, nothing of the sort. Liam, come let mom have a look at you, why have you been leaving early and returning late these days? I haven’t seen you in a long time."

Liam Shaw replied impatiently, "The lab has been busy lately, I couldn’t find time to come home. Mom, I heard Lucas had a poisoning incident at Old Master Lawrence’s birthday banquet? How is he now?"

Mentioning Lucas Shaw, Elena Ryan’s face immediately darkened.

She scoffed coldly, saying spitefully, "It’s truly embarrassing, he ruined a perfectly good banquet hosted by Old Master Lawrence."

"Mom, how can you say that! He is your biological son!"

"I don’t have such a disgraceful son, if it weren’t for my poor health during pregnancy making abortion unsuitable, do you think I would keep such a problematic child?" Elena Ryan’s expression was icy cold, with deep resentment hidden in her eyes.

Liam Shaw was startled by her gaze, sighed weakly, and didn’t know how to respond.

Helplessly, he shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.

His mother had gone mad.

Perhaps she had been mad for a long time.

"Mom, it’s late, you should go back and rest."

As Liam Shaw spoke, his voice was extremely cold.

"Mom is not tired yet." Elena Ryan looked at Liam Shaw with a hurt expression.

"Go back!" Liam Shaw snapped impatiently.

Elena Ryan was startled by his harsh attitude and reluctantly walked towards the kitchen exit.

Just as she took two steps, Elena Ryan suddenly stopped and pointed at Serena Summers in the kitchen, "Liam, Serena is not as innocent as you think. She’s a flirtatious woman, you absolutely must not get involved with her."

"Mom, do you even realize what you are saying?"

Liam Shaw couldn’t believe why his own mother had become like this.

Serena was not only the granddaughter-in-law of the Shaw Family, but also the savior of the entire Shaw Family.

She dared to use such filthy words on Serena.

Simply... ridiculous.

Elena Ryan urgently explained, "Look at the dress she is wearing. That dress is definitely not Lucas’s, it might be given to her by some other man out there."

After being reminded by Elena Ryan, Liam Shaw noticed that Serena was indeed in disarray.

She was still wearing the evening gown from the dinner, her originally soft and fluffy hair damply clinging to her scalp.

The exposed part of her skirt was wet, leaving water stains on the floor.

The coat indeed didn’t look like Lucas’s, but at a glance, it was clearly not ordinary fabric and was finely crafted, obviously expensive.

Liam Shaw stunned for a moment, his brow furrowed in concern, "Serena, what happened? How didyou end up soaked after attending a banquet?"

Elena Ryan sneered, mocking, "Who knows? Maybe she went off with that bastard."

"Mom, if you continue to talk nonsense, pack your things and go back to the Ryan Family." Liam Shaw’s face darkened as he spoke harshly.

Elena Ryan’s eyes widened in disbelief, "What did you say? You’re kicking me out of the Shaw Family?"

Liam Shaw rubbed his temples wearily, lowering his voice, "It’s not that I want to kick you out, it’s that you yourself don’t want to stay properly in the Shaw Family."

"Liam, I’m your real mother, how can you turn against me!" Elena Ryan had never imagined that her most beloved elder son could say such things.

She was shocked beyond belief, feeling heartbroken and aggrieved.

However, Liam Shaw didn’t want to engage with her anymore and turned his head to ask Brandon Reese, who was slowly walking down, "Brandon, what happened to Madam at the banquet? Why is she completely drenched?"

Brandon Reese slowly shook his head with a grave expression, "Young Master, I wasn’t present when Madam had the accident."

Liam Shaw’s heart sank suddenly, and his gaze shifted to Serena Summers who was busy in the kitchen.

The girl was slender and petite, but her back was exceptionally straight, and despite being soaked, the elegance she carried could not be concealed.

No matter what was happening outside, she was always focused and seriously working on the medicinal herbs in front of her, her movements skilled and orderly.

Liam Shaw asked again, "What about that coat?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Brandon’s face.

Liam Shaw instructed, "Just tell the truth."

Elena Ryan stared intensely at Brandon, wanting to get an answer from him.

Brandon took a deep breath and began to explain, "Before returning to the old residence, Madam had made a trip to Horizon Group. She had an extra coat on her when she came out, but as for what specifically happened, I’m not sure."

"What? You went to Horizon Group?" Liam Shaw’s expression changed drastically, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Yes," Brandon replied truthfully.

Liam Shaw looked towards Serena, his expression gradually becoming complex.

As time ticked by, the poison inside Serena’s body screamed wildly, like surging waves almost engulfing her.

After a long while, Serena finally let out a big sigh of relief and looked towards the door.

"In another hour, the medicine can be served."

"Serena, are these really the medicines that can cure the poison inside Lucas’s body?" Liam Shaw was the first to rush in, asking excitedly.

"Yes," Serena slowly pulled a faint smile across her pale cheeks.

Hearing this, a surge of ecstasy suddenly bloomed in Liam Shaw’s heart.

His lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Serena, "Serena, thank you, really, thank you! You are a lifesaver for our Shaw Family."

"It’s what I should do," Serena smiled nonchalantly.

As long as Lucas Shaw was alright, everything was worth it.

Serena gave Elena Ryan a cold glance and walked upstairs into the bedroom.

She approached the safe, entered the password, and took out a vial of antidote.

This was the latest antidote she had developed.

The two antidote formulas complemented and supported each other.

As Liam Shaw entered, he saw Serena holding a syringe, standing straight beside the bed.

His eyelid twitched violently, and he asked eagerly, "Serena, how confident are you that you can completely remove the poison from Lucas’s body?"

Serena pondered for a moment and slowly said, "About eighty percent."

If the two antidote formulas did not have any antagonistic reaction in Lucas Shaw’s body, then the chances of success would be even higher.

With Serena’s assurance, the high anxiety in Lucas Shaw’s heart gradually subsided.

He heaved a huge sigh of relief, his eyes filled with expectation and delight.

It had been twenty-four years, and he had finally awaited this moment.

Lucas, the things I couldn’t accomplish, someone has finally done it for me.

You will definitely live a long and healthy life.
