Arnold blinked. His sensitive nature and closeness to Asher allowed him to notice the daze in his lover''s eyes. "You look dazed. Are you feeling unwell?"


    Asher''s heart sank, and his voice was hoarse. "No, I''m fine."


    "Arnold, I have something important to discuss with you." Be quickly redirected his attention, pulling him toward the living room. "Ash, why are you standing there? Go get Arnold some breakfast!"


    "Alright." Asher turned and left without hesitation.


    Arnold looked back at him every few steps, feeling something was off, but he was unable to pinpoint it.


    In the living room, Be quickly ced the medicine she brought on the coffee table. "Arnold, could you help me analyze the ingredients of this medication? You are more skilled in this area, and you have all the necessary equipment."


    "What is this?" Arnold frowned, examining the blue pill.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    "Recently, there have been several sudden death cases in Savrow where the victims exhibited symptoms simr to drug overdoses. However, autopsies revealed no traces of drugs. These victims experienced convulsions, frantic movements, and madness before death, making their deaths extremely horrifying. After investigation, we found that all the victims had taken this medication before dying. This matter is serious and involves Aunt Sasha''s family, the Southern Star Syndicate. So, please, Arnold, try to find out what harmful substances are in this medication."


    Hearing that it involved the Southern Star Syndicate, Arnold immediately became serious. "Mr. Storm from the Southern Star Syndicate helped me before, and Aunt Sasha has been concerned about my affairs. I will definitely handle this."


    Be''s eyes welled up with tears, and her lips pressed together. ''Arnold is such a good man. Ash should never hurt or deceive him. If he did, I''ll never forgive him!''


    "Don''t worry. I will get back to you as soon as possible," Arnold assured.


    Be nodded and stood up. "I won''t disturb you two lovebirds any longer. I''ll head back now."


    “Be, what was up with Asher earlier? He seemed upset." Arnold called after her, his clear eyes filled with worry. He cared deeply for Asher his heart and mind were consumed by him. Just as Justin could read Be''s emotions, Arnold could see through Asher''s facade.


    Be stared at Arnold, her heart aching. The little fox loved her brother dearly. He deserved the purest and most sincere love in the world, but unfortunately...


    "Nothing, maybe Ash is just tired and has not recovered yet. Haha... after all, he is getting older."


    "Ah... yes," Arnold said, feeling guilty. "I was too selfish, pestering him all nightst night. Next time, I will behave."


    "You and Ash have such a good


    rtionship." Be remarked, though her breathing grew heavier. "In ten or twenty years, if you find out that my brother is not what you thought and that he has many ws, some even challenging your perception, would you resent him?"


    "Haha... I would never resent him. I am more afraid he will resent me.” Arnold took a bite of an apple from the fruit basket, squinting his eyes. "When we were in the US, I once ran into an ex-boyfriend. That guy still had feelings for me and said many inappropriate things, he even tried to hip Asher. Asher punched him so hard that he knocked out two of his front teeth! It was so satisfying to be protected!"


    Be was rendered speechless.


    "After we got back, I did not dare to say anything, afraid he would be angry. But then..." He trailed off, his face flushing.


    "Back then, I was such a mess, yet Asher epted me. How could I have the right to resent him? Be, it was Asher who took me in, who gave me the love I had been desperately searching for but could not find."


    Arnold''s eyes burned with passion. "I will never give up on him, not even in death."


    At that moment, just a wall away, Asher stood in the empty hallway, his hands trembling as he held the breakfast tray, having heard everything.
