Chapter 348 - 7.38 I’m Sorry
"No, no, no!" Kaede hastily denied lest his head went flying in the next second. "With me, the Poison Blade here, how can he die? What I mean to say is... I have flushed almost all of the drug in his system but the residual is still clinging to his body. He will be able to endure it until the antidote comes. On the other hand..." Kaede peeked at his boss and said carefully. "You’re sure that he said this is a sex drug?"
Moshe nodded somberly.
"Then to relive some of the effects..." Kaede coughed. "...you know what ought to be done, right Boss?"
Lu Yizhou could no longer follow the conversation. All sounds and colors were distorted and he felt as if he was flying.

He clenched his fists and pushed against the binding around his wrists, and the chains actually issued a resounding crack.

He had to go... had to save his lover before everything was too late... But the chains were securely restraining him, holding him back, preventing him from getting to his lover...
Fear gripped his heart in a vice grip and his breathing quickened. The heartbeat monitor’s beeps intensified. "Have to... protect you..." His body convulsed, and the chains on his limbs rattled wildly. "Can’t let you... get hurt... anymore..."
