How does she drink tea with a mask on? It’s not impossible, just inconvenient.
Ian Shelby said gently, "The drug research is at its final stage. We need to measure every minute and stay vigilant at all times, so we’ll pass on the tea. Please thank the lady for her kind offer on our behalf."
"Alright," Mary responded calmly, "In that case, let the lady come up then." With that, she turned and left.
Mia Lane felt a twinge of unease, what’s going on?
She exchanged a glance with Ian Shelby, both heightened their vigilance.
Clearly, this was more complicated than just drinking tea.
Soon, the butler brought tea into the drug research room, "Hello, Dr. Shelby, Hello, Dr. Yates."
Immediately after, Kristina Kingston, fully armed, entered as well.
She still wore long white gloves and a hat, her presence reminiscent of an old witch hidden away in a castle.
"Dr. Shelby, Dr. Yates." Kristina Kingston walked towards them, her tone very calm, "I feel healing won’t be a matter of days, but requires a long period, months, maybe even half a year, that’s the fastest."
"That’s right." Ian Shelby paused his work and looked up at her, "Dr. Yates also mentioned, your right hand is just for experimentation. I’ll be leaving in a while, and Dr. Yates will be with you the whole time until you recover."
Kristina Kingston wondered, get all the drug research done before leaving?
And then give the credit to this country girl?
Now that Kristina Kingston knew, she wouldn’t let them succeed, "Dr. Shelby, I think you can leave now, it’s fine to leave Dr. Yates alone."
Before they could think, Kristina Kingston added, "Dr. Shelby has always been a busy person. Having both here is a bit of a waste of one’s time, and I think women applying medicine to other women is more convenient, don’t you think?"
Mia Lane thought she had earned her trust, and originally called Ian Shelby over to gain Kristina Kingston’s trust.
Therefore, she hinted with a smile, "I think it’s okay." She turned to Ian Shelby, "Dr. Shelby is constantly under surveillance, having to research new drugs every quarter. If delayed here too long, I’m afraid the media would discover it."
But Ian Shelby didn’t want to leave, he had promised CEO Kingston just yesterday morning to take good care of her these days.
"You should go." Mia Lane felt he would have to leave sooner or later.
Kristina Kingston’s expression was exceedingly gentle as she looked at Ian Shelby, "Dr. Shelby, thank you very much for these past days." With those words, she gave him a deep bow.
How could Ian Shelby accept this?
He quickly bowed as well, "It’s what I should do, my obligation, CEO Kingston and I are friends."
Thus, Ian Shelby felt uncomfortable staying any longer.
"I’ve sent someone with the tea, I won’t disturb you further," Kristina Kingston said, "Dr. Shelby, you can prepare to leave, hand over work properly with your master. As for compensation, Justin Kingston will handle it upon his return, or you can name your price."
With that, she took a step and left, followed by Mary.
Ian Shelby wouldn’t name a price, he prepared to leave, "Call me if there’s anything."
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen."
"I’m afraid just in case." Chapters first released on NoveI~Fire.net
"Okay already, I got it."
Mia Lane thought everything would go smoothly going forward, assuming everything was in her control.
Seven o’clock in the evening.
Mary knocked on the door of the drug research room, Mia Lane looked up and saw her. Mary said, "Dr. Yates, the lady has invited you downstairs for dinner."
Wearing a mask, she was startled inside.
At this moment, the brightly lit dining room downstairs, Kristina Kingston sat upright in a white dining chair, her aura chillingly fearful.
