The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 383 Strange Rash

The next morning, Julian brought Susan to the hospital for a full physical check-up.

The result was soon released, and Susan could not help chuckling when she was given a clean bill of health. "See? I told you I was fine."

Julian smiled in return. "Well, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, it’s good to hear that you're alright."

Julian was relieved a little after the result was released. Perhaps he was just being paranoid. However, he still could not help frowning when he looked at Susan's neck. He had no idea why but he felt that the rash on her neck had become a little more apparent than it had been last night.

He told Susan about the rash, but she did not notice any difference after she took a look at it through the mirror.

"I didn't see a difference. Maybe you're overthinking," Susan said with a smile. "Besides, the doctor said I am fine. I guess it’s an allergic reaction to something, but I think the rash will go away after I apply some ointment for a few days."

The changes in the rash were not obvious, so Julian could not be sure of it either. In the end, he accepted Susan’s explanation reluctantly by nodding his head, but he still could not shrug off the doubt that weighed heavily on his heart.

Thus, he decided to keep a watchful eye over Susan for the next few days. He noticed that not only did the rash on her neck become even more obvious, but it was also spreading to other parts of her body.

Even though the rash on the other parts of her body was faint, it was not hard to notice it.

"How did this happen? Why are there so many rash patches? Did the doctor say anything?” Luna asked, her voice laced thick with worry. Initially, she had not thought too much about it. However, as the rash spread, she began to feel worried.

"We have gone to many hospitals, and all the reports came back clean." Susan was not as worried as Luna and Julian. Plastering a smile across her face, she said, "Don't worry. I guess it’s just a skin disease." 1

"You can't take it lightly even if it's a skin disease. Let’s go to another hospital tomorrow,” Luna said sternly.

"Alright," Susan replied.

She wanted the rash to go away as soon as possible as well. After all, it might be some kind of rare skin infection, and she had been abstaining from holding her daughter recently because she feared that it might be passed on to her.

When Pawpaw Clark saw the changes in Susan, a strange light entered his milky eyes.

'I told you before. Right, Julian? You would certainly regret not joining us. This is just the beginning.’

Pawpaw Clark narrowed his eyes.

In the past, he had always wanted to rope Julian in, as he was a person of extraordinary ability. However, after the incident, he had decided to drop the thought.

The reason was simple: Julian was too dangerous. Even if he agreed to join them, who knew what he might cook up in secret to overturn them?

Since he could not be of use to him, then he had to eliminate him.

A dark glint flashed across Pawpaw Clark's eyes.

Had it not been for Julian, the Wrights would have been goners right now. It was exactly because of Julian that they’d had a chance to turn the tide. Therefore, as long as he could get rid of him, no one would get in the way of destroying the Wrights anymore.

"Sis, do you feel itchy?" Anna could not help asking.

"Nope. I don't feel anything at all," Susan replied.

"Then it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Anna said, though she could not be sure either.

"Don't worry. I think it's not that big of a deal," Susan responded with a smile.

When he looked at her smile, an indescribable dark feeling began to spread in Julian's heart.

Julian continued to take Susan to one hospital after another, attempting to identify the cause of the rash and, possibly, a cure. Even though every hospital said that there was nothing wrong with her, the rash was getting more and more severe, to the extent that her face had turned thoroughly red.

Although she did not feel pain or an itch, as the rash continued to spread over her body, Susan did not dare go out of the house.

"Julian, please... Could you stop looking at me like that? I'm so ugly right now." Susan turned away in embarrassment.

She did not know why the rash would not go away. Right now, her beautiful face was full of it, and she sometimes did not dare look at herself. Therefore, she could not fathom why Julian could still look at her every day as if nothing had happened at all.

"What are you talking about?" Julian turned Susan's head over and looked into her eyes intently. "You are the most beautiful woman in my heart.”

"You really have the nerve to say so while looking at a face like this," Susan said, amused and touched by the seriousness in his eyes.

"Not only do I have the nerve to say that, but I also have the nerve to kiss you."

Then, without giving Susan a chance to say anything, he leaned forward and gave her a deep kiss.

"You..." Susan looked at him helplessly, "Are you not afraid that this might be an infectious disease?"

"What is there to be afraid of? It would be better if you passed on the disease to me. Then, we would be the same," Julian replied with a smile.

Even though Susan was touched, she still felt worried. The "skin disease" she had not cared much about had become more and more serious over the past two weeks. Although she did not feel anything and Julian said he did not care about it, she felt very ugly right now due to the redness and the rash on her face.

Susan's sudden skin disease made everybody feel worried.

"What's happening to Susan? She suddenly became like this after returning from America. Could her rash be related to the island? In that case, why is Serenity fine?" Luna said worriedly.

"Could it be because different people have a different level of immunity?" Serenity asked. She was bewildered as well.

"Well, let's go to another hospital and have a check-u p."

Nobody could reach a conclusion even though they had discussed it for a long time.

Julian's brows were deeply furrowed in the center of his forehead.

Luna had reminded him of something.

'Is there something wrong with that island?’ Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

He suddenly remembered the "King” telling him that h e would certainly regret it. Did that have something to do with Susan's illness?

Julian's heart suddenly leaped into a gallop. If that was really the case, then the rash might not be as simple as it seemed.

Julian clenched his hands. He had to figure out what was going with Susan's body right now.

He thought for a moment before he walked to a secluded spot. He fished his phone out and punched i n a number.

The number that he punched in was the number that Joseph had given to him when he had abducted Susan. Even though he did not know whether Joseph was still using this number, it was worth a try.

Very soon, the call was answered, and Joseph's voice drawled over from the other end of the line.

"Isn’t this my beloved cousin? I didn't expect that you would call me again."

A hint of joy flashed across Julian's eyes. Joseph was still using this number!

"Joseph!" Julian said in a stern voice, "I have something to ask you and I hope that you can answer me sincerely.”
