Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2254

She reached out toward Kyson, clearly wanting him to hold her.

Kyson shook his head, his gaze soft.

“My clothes are all wet, Destinee.

It’s not a good time for a hug—you’ll catch a cold.

”

Destinee seemed to grasp Kyson’s refusal, her small lips pouting as she looked on the verge of tears.

Nathan’s face darkened as he admonished, “I know you’re pretending to cry so he’ll hold you.

Remember, if you catch a cold and get a fever, you’ll need an injection, and that will hurt.

Aren’t you afraid of that?”

Destinee’s expression shifted to one of discomfort, and she clutched Nathan’s collar, burying her face deeper into his embrace.

Kyson then made a request.

“I want to step back from the Shaw Group’s affairs and focus on taking care of Colby.

Can I stay with him during his IV treatments in the Lab?”

“You can, as long as your intentions are purely to care for him,” Nathan replied cautiously, his tone sharpening.

“But remember, the medications in the lab are classified.

You’re no longer a public official.

If you try anything underhanded, there will be consequences.

”

Kyson lowered his head, his voice earnest.

“Why would I jeopardize this? I’m not the man I used to be, your enemy.

Thanks to your covert support, I lead the Shaw family now.

We’re allies, Nathan.

I have no use for those meds, nor any intention to betray you.

”

Nathan glanced at him sharply.

“You better be sincere.

Don’t even think about sneaking off with a bottle for yourself.

You think experiencing Colby’s pain will absolve you of your sins? Forget it.

”

Kyson fell silent.

Nathan’s words hit the mark.

Nathan pressed on, “The S404 Virus is rare and valuable, so wasting it on you would be pointless.

If you’re plotting anything, abandon the idea.

Focus on caring for Colby.

Remember, even if you end up poisoned, I won’t offer you the antidote.

You’ll have nothing to do but wait for death.

”

His tone was severe, but Kyson showed no sign of offense.

Instead, he nodded and reassured, “Don’t worry.

I won’t do anything.

If you’re really concerned, you can have two officers shadow me.

”

Nathan laid out the stern warning, gauging the implications.

Yet, he felt there was no need to monitor Kyson that closely.

“Destinee is hungry.

I’m taking her home for some milk.

I’ll give you an access card for the lab.

After you enter, have Lucinda come out.

She hasn’t had lunch yet.

I’ll take her home and return after lunch.

”

“Okay.

”

Kyson accepted the access card from Nathan, and they parted ways.

With the access card, Kyson moved past the security checkpoints of the lab and navigated through the scientific research building.

Nathan’s words echoed in his ears, stirring a turmoil of emotions.

He had once taunted that Colby was slower at drinking milk than Destinee and weaker overall, not realizing he was the cause of Colby’s frail condition.

Overwhelmed with guilt and desperate to make amends, Kyson paused and pulled out his phone, dialing a number he hoped could start setting things right.

“Find out who owns the largest aquarium in Cadiered and where it’s located.

”

His special assistant, momentarily taken aback, responded, “Mr.

Shaw, are you considering investing in an aquarium entertainment project?”

“It’s not for investment; it’s for acquisition.

Charge it to my private bank account.

Cost is no object.

”

After a brief pause, his assistant replied, “Understood.

”

Kyson’s assistant was notably efficient.

By one o’clock in the afternoon, he had already sent Kyson the details about the aquarium.

Located in Stastle, it was the most luxurious aquarium in the country.

Without hesitation, Kyson purchased it that very day, putting it in Colby’s name as a gift for his first birthday.

Additionally, he acquired the most exquisite dolphin he could find online and registered it under Destinee’s name.

The dolphin would be housed in Colby’s new aquarium.

This was Destinee’s gift for her first birthday.

Lucinda felt the gifts were too extravagant for such young children, but understanding that this was Kyson’s way of coping, she held back her objections.

On the day of Colby and Destinee’s birthday, not only did Lucinda and Nathan receive gifts from Sonny, Luisa, Cyrus, Noelle, Hilliard, Jennifer, Graham, and Violeta, which were all of considerable value, but also a special visit.

Norton, even in his wheelchair, made a personal appearance at N&L Fairy Land.

He presented the twins with two gold lock necklaces and a pair of diamond-studded gold bracelets.

Though there was no formal celebration, the villa’s living room was bustling with visitors by the afternoon.
