Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Designing a Wedding Dress

Serena Summers walked over, puzzled, "Big Senior Brother, how come you’re here?"

"It was me who asked him to come." Lucas Shaw spoke indifferently, taking Serena’s hand and sitting her down beside him, whispering low, "Big brother already told me about the afternoon’s events."

Serena clasped his hand in return, somewhat anxious in her heart, "Husband, are you really sure? The antidote might use up a lot of your blood."

"I’m not afraid." Lucas Shaw extended his other hand, hugging Serena tightly to him, his chin gently rubbing the top of her head, "Serena, my life was saved by you. Without you, what future is there to talk about? So it’s just some blood, it’s nothing."

So, don’t have any psychological burden.

Serena pursed her lips, slowly nodding her head.

"Serena, show me the research report." Edward Selwyn suddenly spoke up.

Serena immediately lifted her head from Lucas Shaw’s embrace, took the report out of her bag, and handed it to Edward Selwyn.

Edward Selwyn flipped through it, his deeply furrowed brows gradually relaxing, "Indeed useful."

After speaking, he turned his gaze back to Lucas Shaw, "Have you really thought this through?"

"Yes." Lucas Shaw nodded without any hesitation, his dark eyes especially firm and serious.

Master Shaw didn’t say a word.

This was a matter for the younger generation; he was old and couldn’t manage so much anymore.

Besides, Lucas Shaw was never the kind to be easily controlled; even if he disagreed, it would be in vain.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; let them be.

He would just enjoy his life now; other matters... let these youngsters worry about them.

Moreover, Lucas Shaw owed Serena, and he always had to pay it back.

Edward Selwyn also did not expect Lucas Shaw to be so firm.

He was momentarily stunned, then chuckled lightly, "Alright, then prepare as quickly as possible before going to Lane Family. I don’t trust the lab at S University, use the one at my company instead."

Horizon Group had a lab exclusively for Serena Summers.

Many of Horizon Group’s flagship medical products were researched in that lab.

And that place was highly confidential, restricted to authorized personnel only, which meant an ordinary person couldn’t even enter.

Serena had also reinforced its security system so that even the best hackers in the country might not be able to breach it.

That place was far safer.

Serena and Lucas Shaw had no objections and directly nodded in agreement.

As soon as Serena was ready with the necessary items, they began the process of drawing Lucas Shaw’s blood.

The first time, not much was drawn, only about 300 milliliters.

Serena didn’t drink it directly but instead extracted the components from the blood and converted them into a medicinal potion.

This not only efficiently eliminated the toxins from the body but also ensured no blood was wasted.

While Serena did her research, Lucas Shaw was always by her side.

The entire lab only contained the two of them, quiet to an incredible degree.

Lucas Shaw sat on the sofa, dealing with documents on the computer, occasionally lifting his eyes to glance in Serena’s direction.

She looked focused and serious, seemingly so immersed she could no longer contain anything else.

Those clear and sharp eyes seemed to shine with a dazzling and brilliant light, irresistible to look away from.

Lucas Shaw watched her, lost in a daze.

His darling wife, more outstanding than he had imagined.

She deserved all the best things in this world.

Lucas Shaw thought to himself, then he sent a message to Brandon Reese, "Help me contact the designer sci, ask if they can design a wedding dress."

Brandon Reese replied promptly, "Sir, are you and the madam planning to have a wedding?"

Lucas Shaw: "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, just go do it."

Brandon Reese: "All set! I’m on it right away."

After two days and nights of almost continuous research, Serena finally completed the sample study.

However, the poison in her body was too unusual; it was not possible to conduct clinical trials.

Liam Shaw entered, helping Serena by her side.

Edward Selwyn and Vincent Carter had also pushed aside all their work.

Serena put down the data report, her eyes already full of blood streaks due to a lack of rest.

There were even two dark circles beneath her eyes.

Her skin was so pale it was almost transparent, making the dark circles stand out all the more.

But at the moment, she couldn’t care about anything else and spoke to everyone in the lab: "Now I have some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news," Liam Shaw answered without a second thought.

Serena slowly exhaled a breath of air, pointing to the documents on the table, "The good news is, the sample has been successfully made."

Expressions of excitement appeared on everyone’s faces.

Even though those men usually remained stern and reticent, at this moment, smiles uncontrollably broke out on their faces.

Especially Edward Selwyn.

He was quite annoyed when Serena had used the medicine on Lucas Shaw.

He had been having people search for those herbs again during this time.

Now that there was a breakthrough, no matter what, it was good news for him.

Lucas Shaw seemed a bit calmer than the rest, his thin lips parting slightly, "And the bad news?"

Serena’s eyes lingered on him, biting her lip, "The bad news is, since it hasn’t undergone clinical trials, I’m not sure if there will be side effects."

In theory, these herbs should not have any side effects, but Serena couldn’t guarantee it a hundred percent.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"How long would it take to conduct clinical trials?"

"It should be about half a month or so."

Lucas Shaw sat on the sofa, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest, his expression inscrutable, unknown what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Edward Selwyn was the first to speak, "Safety comes first. We can postpone other things, maybe even skip going to Imperial Capital, if needed."

To be honest, Edward Selwyn was not that keen on Serena going to the Lane Family.

The Lane and Summers families hadn’t been in contact for many years, and now they suddenly showed up, inevitably making people uncomfortable.

Serena was raised by the master and his several disciples, including Edward Selwyn; the Lane Family had not contributed in the slightest.

Now that Serena had grown up, they wanted to swoop in.

Who could stand that?

Liam Shaw nodded, "That’s the only thing we can do for now."

No matter what happened, Serena’s safety was the primary concern.

Everyone quickly reached a consensus on this matter.

Consequently, Julian Lane soon received the news that Serena would delay her visit to Imperial Capital.

His face filled with shock, disbelief.

He had postponed several days of work to come to S City, and the allotted time was nearly up.

It was about time for him to leave.

He didn’t expect that an emergency would occur on Serena’s side.

Would he be brutally punished by Old Master Lane and his elder brother when he returned?

Julian Lane trembled at the mental image of being beaten, but soon he understood the whole situation and immediately expressed that Serena’s health was of the utmost priority, postponement was fine.

He would talk to Old Master Lane and his elder brother about it.
