Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Chapter 289: Bai Su Learns of Grandpa’s Death

A relieved smile appeared on Luo’an’s face. "Don’t worry, I guarantee it’s curable. You won’t have to go under the knife again!"

「The next day.」

On the operating table.

A certain phenylethanol diamine enzyme in Alice’s body suddenly spiked, and the bleeding couldn’t be stopped.

Just like that, the young Alice died on her brother’s operating table.

The only female in the Lanton Family, the sole designated heir, was gone just like that—inexplicably, because of a minor surgery.

Luo’an thought he must have misheard, rushing into the operating room like a madman.

Yelias was slumped to the side, his hands trembling. He looked completely helpless.

The surrounding nurses and doctors stared at Yelias in disbelief, as if looking at a premeditated murderer.

’How could such a minor surgery be fatal?’

Luo’an furiously beat Yelias.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

"Aren’t you a genius?"

"It was a minor excision surgery with less than a 15% risk! Why did she die?"

"Don’t you know we were getting married in a month? You bastard!"

He unleashed his spiritual power, mercilessly beating the stunned Yelias.

But it was all over. The body on the operating table was growing colder by the second.

Luo’an held Alice’s body for three whole days, refusing to let anyone from the Lanton Family near.

On the night of the third day, he suddenly noticed lesions on Alice’s skin—a symptom only caused by an overdose of phenylethanol diamine enzyme.

’How could this kind of surgery produce phenylethanol diamine enzyme?’

In a flash of insight, he remembered the potion Alice had drunk the night before the surgery.

’She didn’t tell Yelias she drank my potion?’

’So Yelias probably had no idea.’

’Of the three anesthetics, only Anesthetic No. 2 would react with the potion in her system.’

’So...’

’The one who really killed her... was me?’

When Luo’an realized this, it was as if his mind exploded.

’How could it be me?’

He loved Alice so much; he would have died for her.

The Lanton Family was thrown into turmoil, and everyone at Lanton Academy was discussing Miss Alice’s death.

Everyone was condemning Yelias, calling him a black-hearted fiend who had killed the heir to seize the family fortune.

All sorts of insulting and vicious words were constantly being hurled at Yelias.

To Luo’an, those words were unusually harsh, as if they weren’t cursing Yelias, but him.

On his way to confess to Yelias, Luo’an’s expression grew darker and his breathing became more ragged.

Suddenly, he missed a step and fell down the stairs.

Luo’an remembered everything that happened after.

He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Bai Su, Leia, and the others beside him.

Leia rolled her eyes. "Are you for real? We were nice enough to fix your brain, and now you’re trying to fake an illness to scam my sis?"

Luo’an, as if his soul had been ripped out, stared blankly at the ceiling, lying lifelessly on the nearby cot.

Leia leaned in and pried one of his eyelids open. No reaction.

She turned to Bai Su. "Don’t tell me you actually healed him into an idiot?"

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, also sensing that something was wrong with Luo’an.

Leia waved her hand dismissively. "But it’s fine. This will be our little secret. I’ll bury him in a bit to get rid of the evidence. No one will ever know."

Bai Su didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Oh, thank you so much."

Luo’an slowly sat up on the bed.

Bai Su looked at him. "Are you okay? That area seemed to be related to memory. I don’t know what you forgot before, but you asked me to heal you, so I did..."

Only then did Xiao Yi understand what had happened.

Generally, only extreme trauma could cause memory confusion or amnesia.

He stared intently into Bai Su’s eyes, trying to see some kind of emotional reaction on her face, but there was none.

It was as if she were listening to a story about someone else, without even a hint of surprise.

Luo’an fell silent for a moment. Seeing that Bai Su wasn’t responding, he suddenly let out a cold laugh. "What? Don’t believe me?"

Bai Su said, "I do believe you."

Luo’an clenched his fists. "Then why aren’t you reacting?"

Bai Su found it amusing. "What reaction do you want from me? To get mad? Furious? What?"

"Am I supposed to get angry at Yelias just because of a few words from you, when I don’t even know if they’re true?"

"Even if what you’re saying is true, does that mean all the kindness Yelias has shown me since we got together is fake?"

"Just because he did one wrong thing, should I completely negate all the life-or-death situations we’ve faced together and all the time we’ve spent day and night?"

"Or should I run back right now, disappointed and furious, and demand to know why he lied to me? And then refuse to listen to any explanation and have a huge fight with him?"

Luo’an gritted his teeth. She had obviously seen right through him.

Bai Su rolled her eyes. "Maybe you should get out and see the world a bit. This kind of cliché plot isn’t popular anymore."

Luo’an: "..."

Bai Su turned and left the lab.

She didn’t go home, but instead marched straight to the Lanton Family research lab.

Yelias was in the middle of an experiment when a sudden chill ran down his spine, causing his hand to falter.

Li Yue, who was waiting for him to pour a reagent, asked, "What’s wrong?"

She gave him a cool glance, maintaining her image as the lab’s aloof ice queen.

Yelias narrowed his eyes. "I have a bad feeling about this."

Suddenly, the lab door was kicked open with a BANG.

Bai Su stormed in, grabbed Yelias by the ear, and snapped, "You, get out here!"

Yelias sucked in a sharp breath as he was dragged out by his ear.

The startled Li Yue and the two old men beside her: "...?"
