Chapter 1441Although they had never met before, Eaton had read about the Shepard family, so he knew what Selon looked like.Seeing Selon going in the other direction, Eaton quickly shouted, "Leo!"Leo was the staff showing Selon the way, and Eaton happened to know him.Hearing Eaton's voice, Leo immediately stopped in his tracks. He turned around and asked in confusion, "Dr. Scott, what's the matter?"Eaton approached them. He looked at the three people behind Leo with critical eyes, and he asked, "What are they doing here?""They're..."Leo introduced Selon to Eaton, "This is Dr. Shepard. He's a new researcher, and these two are his sister and cousin."Eaton nodded at Selon and introduced himself, "Nice to meet you. I'm Eaton Scott.""You're a Scott?"Selon raised his eyebrows and said, "That ancient medical family?"Eaton nodded, "Yes, and..."Eaton paused and surveyed Selon with suspicious eyes, and then he continued, "I'm also very close to Molly. We both learned from
Chapter 1442The next day, Molly got up and had breakfast before going out. Because of what had happened yesterday, she didn't go to Lesley mainly for fear that Eaton would give Lesley trouble. Today she went out to find a bookstore to see if there were any medical books. She had read all the books she had brought here, and she didn't want to touch Eaton's books. She was very lucky. She found a bookstore, which looked old, but had many out-of-print medical books in it. Molly was so overjoyed that she took a tour of the whole bookstore, soon many books were in her hands. "Finally, I don't have to worry about having nothing to pass the time." She walked to the cashier with the books, paid the money, and then left. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a man at the door. Molly was caught off guard, so she exclaimed and let go. All the books fell to the ground. "Sorry!" The man who bumped into her apologized immediately. Molly was stunned slightly, wondering, 'Why does this
Chapter 1443Molly didn't expect him to suddenly act this way. Startled, she subconsciously took two steps back, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Well, it's fine. I hurt myself by accident.""Really? Not hurt by anyone?"Vaughn stared at her closely, his tone imperceptibly sinking. Molly smiled. "Yeah. It's true. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shepard."Vaughn studied her expression to confirm she was not lying and then nodded.In a warm voice, he said, "Sorry for startling you just now. I was worried about seeing the bandage on your neck. I hope you don't mind.""No, not at all." Molly shook her head, secretly relieved inside. Vaughn asked again, "Do you have time? I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee to return your favor of helping me pick out the book."Molly hastily declined, "It's fine and just a favor, Mr. Shepard."Vaughn smiled. "You're Selon's friend, and you went with our family for the charity medical mission in Domster, which makes a friend of mine too, so ple
Chapter 1444 "It's nothing! Even if there are outsiders here, I can talk about it." Vaughn said softly, "You know the situation of the Shepard family. They are deeply involved with that side. It is not easy to end it so quickly. A few days ago, there were indeed some accidents! Selon's father was taken away, so he could only come here." His short statement didn't seem to reveal much information, but Molly understood everything. Selon's father was taken away by people of the Martial Art Union, so Selon was threatened. In other words, the Shepard family had failed to escape the control of the Martial Art Union! Thinking of this, Molly became serious. If this was the case, wouldn't Sean's plan be in vain? Though listening to their conversation, Rhett didn't know what they were talking about. He pricked up his ears, trying to figure out the situation. But Molly and Vaughn changed the topic. Later, when the two chatted for a while, Molly said goodbye to Vaughn. Vaughn smil
Chapter 1445 Molly was startled from sleep. She sat up from the bed and stared at the door with a deep frown. What was going on with Eaton? "Molly, open the door!" Eaton banged on the door again. He kept knocking. Molly panicked. She clutched the sheets tightly, trying to maintain her composure, and said angrily to the man outside through the door, "Are you crazy? What are you doing so late?" She heard it, but she didn't open the door. It angered Eaton. He took two steps back and kicked the door. Boom! The loud noise was especially scary on this silent night! Molly was quite frightened. "Rhett, pry open the door!" Seeing that he couldn't kick the door open, Eaton thought about prying the door open. "Mr. Scott, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I'll help you go back and rest." Rhett went to help Eaton while talking, but Eaton pushed him away. "How dare you not obey my orders now?" Eaton's eyes were red, and he stared at Rhett fiercely. Rhett was Eaton’s subor
Chapter 1446 The whole room suddenly fell silent. Eaton was stunned. He looked down at the white powder all over him and asked with a frown, "What is this?" "It's something that will make your whole body rot!" Molly stepped back, put some distance between them, and looked at Rhett coldly, "If you don't deal with it within half an hour, symptoms will start to appear. You can wait here if you don’t believe it." When Rhett heard this, he didn't dare to neglect it and quickly came up to help Eaton. Eaton was awake at this time. He glanced at Molly, said nothing, and let Rhett help him to leave. After they left, Molly quickly rushed to close the door and locked it. She turned around and leaned her back against the door, trembling uncontrollably. Fear overwhelmed her at this moment. If she hadn't taken a bottle of powder in advance, she couldn't imagine what the scene would be like now. She didn't dare to think about it. Tears of grievance and fear welled up in her eyes
Chapter 1447 Taking advantage of this time, Molly cleaned up the fragments of the vase on the floor. She was so absent-minded that her finger was cut by the debris during the process. Beads of blood slowly dripped to the floor. She hurriedly found iodine and a band-aid, briefly disinfected the wound, and then stuck it on. After tidying up the fragments of the vase, she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, staying up until dawn. Early in the morning, as soon as Molly went downstairs after washing up, she met Eaton. She immediately turned cold, trying to pretend she didn't see him. Eaton's face was covered with red bumps, and it looked a little disgusting. It was the consequence of the powder last night. Molly sneered in her heart. He deserved it! She had cut him some slack! Eaton was sober at the moment, and somewhat regretted what had happened last night. Now seeing her, he hurriedly walked over. "Molly, I was drunk last night..." He tried to explain wh
Chapter 1448 Molly didn't notice anyone approaching in a daze with her eyes closed until she suddenly heard a man's gentle voice from above her head, "Why are you here so early?" Molly found it a little familiar and tried to open her sleepy eyes. She raised her head and saw Vaughn's face. She managed to pull herself together, forced a smile, and asked, "Vaughn, good morning. Why are you here so early?" When she asked this question, she couldn't help but yawn, and her eyes seemed to close again. "I always get up early." Vaughn sized her up and frowned, "It looks like you haven't slept well." His eyes glanced over her hand inadvertently. When he saw the band-aid on her finger, he frowned more deeply, "Why did you get hurt again? What happened?" Molly was trying to fight against sleepiness, so she didn't notice his serious tone. She shrank her fingers and smiled, "Nothing, I just accidentally cut it." Then, she yawned again, and continued vaguely, "I had a nightmare l
