Altan's body shuddered at the discovery. "What… did you say?"
Even Fern, who was being eroded by the snake's venom was filled with disbelief. She looked at Adam and muttered incredulously, "I'm… with child?"
All of a sudden, she was seemingly overcome by her motherly instincts as she started screaming out loud, "Give me the antidote! Give me the fucking antidote! You cannot harm the child inside me! I'll tell you everything! Just give me the antidote!"
Adam stood with an indifferent expression on his face. He didn't even look at the woman. Instead, he gazed at Altan's change in emotions.
He could tell that the man was having suspicions about what he just said. However, the seed of doubt had already been sown. Now, Altan had no other choice but to cooperate with Adam.
After all, even though what Adam had said just then was a lie. But deep in Altan's mind there would always be that voice that whispered to him - But what if it's the truth?
