NovelEnglish"Kenneth, is it all about the money?"
"What else could he possibly want from me?" Dorothy shot back, rolling her eyes. "Not everyone's like you,
falling head over heels for a twice-divorced woman with two kids in tow."
Lane's gaze darkened, and he finally spoke, "I need to handle something over there."
As soon as Lane left, Dorothy allowed her worried expression to surface.
She hoped Kenneth could get out of this mess...
She used to think he was level-headed, but facing someone like Lane seemed to throw all his caution to the
wind.
Kenneth hadn't anticipated that the place where Lane hid the antidote would be under surveillance, with guards
stationed around it!
He had just discovered the location of the antidote and was about to turn around and inform Karen, thinking of
asking Jeffrey to get Everett to cand snatch it, when he was stopped in his tracks not a minute later! Given
Kenneth's limp, escaping was nearly impossible.
By the tLane arrived hurriedly, Kenneth was already tied up with ropes, unable to move!
"Mr. Lane, this man was following you trying to steal the antidote!"

Once the guard had left, Lane didn't waste any time. He went straight up to Kenneth and landed a heavy punch
on his face!
Kenneth fell to the ground, blood streaming from his nose and mouth...
It was clear, Lane had put a lot of force behind that punch.
"Following me, huh? Thought you could outsmartand steal the antidote to show off to Dorothy?"
Since Kenneth couldn't move his arms or legs, he couldn't even get up.
Opening his mouth, blood stained his teeth and lips, "I didn't want... to steal the antidote..."
Lane crouched in front of him, grabbing his jaw to force Kenneth to meet his gaze.
"Not after the antidote? Then givea good reason why you were following me."
Kenneth tasted the metallic tang of blood in his mouth. He spat out a mouthful, but with his jaw clamped tight,
he could only tilt his head back, allowing the blood from his nose to flow back into his mouth, bringing another
rush of that iron taste.
"I thought. if you wouldn't let| might as well learn one of your
l.nee
Yots and use it against you, make

"Really?"
"Yes."
Lane's grip tightened, his knuckles turning white with the force.
"Kenneth, you think I'm a fool? Listen to yourself. Do you think I'd believe that?"
"I have no choice. Killif you must, but that's the reason."
"Don't think I'm clueless! You've been

As Lane said this, he kept his eyes fixed on Kenneth's.
Any sign of evasion, and today... would be his last.

As soon as he finished speaking, another of Lane's punches connected with Kenneth's face.
A sharp pain shot through the bridge of his nose.
