No one responded, but a message popped on Susan's phone."Come in, I'm inside."Susan took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.With a creak, the door was opened. She saw the middle room of the small courtyard was lit.Susan was not afraid of anything at this time, so she walked toward the brightly-illuminated room.She knocked on the door and heard a deep voice."Come in."Susan pushed the door, walked in, and was shocked when she saw the person inside."What a surprise."Her fear and nervousness disappeared in an instant, feeling a little disgusted.Wilson slowly raised his head with a twisted smile and looked kind as always.He pointed to the seat opposite him and smiled, "Sit down, please."Susan looked at him vigilantly and asked coldly, "Did you send the message? What do you want from me?"Susan knew what Wilson did because Stephen had told the research institute about it.She had thought of making Caleb love her, but as a doctor, she would never do that to her
Susan instantly became vigilant. She narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at Wilson.Alert, she wondered why Wilson asked about that.She had a bad feeling about that and interrupted Wilson's tortuous talk by going straight to the point. "Dr. Miller, don’t waste my time. I only took two hours of leave. What do you want me to do?”Wilson picked up his teacup and took a sip from it. He then reclined on his seat while gazing at Susan. "You know, research is cumbersome and has complicated procedures. A minor mistake could ruin everything. I need you to do something to make Professor Stone's research fail.”Susan was triggered by his words. She stood up from her seat while glaring at Wilson furiously.Susan thought Wilson was out of his mind."Dr. Miller, have you lost your mind? You failed your experiment, and worse, you experimented on humans! Now you’re asking me to ruin Professor Stone’s research? How could you ask that of me!"Susan said decisively without hesitation, "I won’t
Susan stood there. None of them spoke. Wilson waited patiently.After a few minutes, Susan looked at Wilson coldly and asked, "Why should I trust you? What do you have to convince me?"Wilson said confidently, "I know Caleb’s schedule. That should be enough, right?"Susan's expression changed. She said hesitantly, "I'll think about it.""Okay, but I want your reply by tomorrow morning."Wilson did not have much time left. Henry had been urging him.Susan nodded calmly. "Okay."She left the courtyard after saying that.Her expression changed after she turned around.She looked at the courtyard again before walking away.Back at the institute, Susan kept spacing out. What Wilson said kept popping up in her mind.There were two voices in her head.Susan was smart. She realized there must be someone behind Wilson.Wilson was guilty of testing unregistered medicine on patients. The evidence was solid. She was curious what a loser like him could do to help her.The person behin
"Deliver my message to Mr. Lane before it’s too late."After speaking, Susan hung up the phone without hesitation.Allen sat on the bed and looked at the dim phone screen. After hesitating for a moment, he called Caleb.Caleb frowned in irritation. He muted his phone after a glance and turned to check whether Ember was awakened.Ember had been worried about Mia and did not sleep well for the past few days.Caleb moved carefully and lightly for fear of accidentally waking her up.He came to the living room with his phone and called Allen back."What's the matter?"Allen reported truthfully, "Sorry for calling in the middle of the night, Mr. Lane. Ms. Baker called me just now. She wanted to see you."Caleb was thinking about which Ms. Baker he was talking about."She said it’s about Mrs. Lane’s mother. She sounded urgent."Caleb frowned doubtfully.He wondered what Susan wanted to do.She was smart and would not joke about that."Tell her to come to the research institute n
But Susan forced herself to endure it."Mr. Lane, I’m risking my life to tell you this. I can’t tell it for free."Caleb frowned angrily and said in a deep voice, "Tell me first. It depends on the value of your information."Susan clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and spoke."Last night, Dr. Miller asked me to meet him at a small house at No. 72 Maroon Street."Caleb stared at Susan with murderous intent when he heard that.Susan was frightened by his expression and shrank, "Please don't look at me like that. He approached me anonymously. I didn’t know it was him."Caleb's eyes were cold and solemn, and his jaw was tense, showing his anger."What did he want from you?"Susan had decided to tell Caleb everything she knew. She could not help Wilson because Caleb would notice she was in league with Wilson anyway.She knew what Caleb was capable of. Losing the chance to study abroad would be the least he would do.Susan would never take the risk."Dr. Miller wan
"Just agree with Dr. Miller if he ever asks for your opinion. You don't have to interfere with the issue at the lab. I will take care of it."Susan vaguely understood Caleb's intention, so she nodded slightly."I have to attend to other matters. Ms. Baker, you should go back now."-Ember was groggy from sleep inertia. She turned over subconsciously and felt the cold area next to her.She opened her eyes drowsily, only to find that Caleb was no longer beside her.She grabbed the phone beside her and looked at the time—it was just a little before 5:00 a.m.Where could he have gone at this hour?She no longer felt sleepy after noticing Caleb's absence, so she got up and went downstairs.Just then, the travel-worn Caleb walked into the house with an air of aloofness.When he saw Ember sitting on the couch in the living room, he stopped in his tracks and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little while longer?"Ember's eyes fell on him as she r
Caleb trusted Stephen completely.Stephen was a little surprised when he received a call from Caleb. He couldn't help but ask, "What business do you have calling me at this hour, Mr. Lane?"Caleb looked serious as he told Stephen everything that might happen at the lab.After hearing those words, Stephen's expression changed as he asked, "Someone is trying to sabotage the research? Who is it?""I still don't know their identity, but Dr. Miller contacted Susan Baker before. She is the most suspicious person so far."Stephen grimaced at Susan's name and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you need me to do, Mr. Lane."Stephen had long known that Susan fancied Caleb.He wasn't surprised that Susan had gotten involved, but he was very disappointed in her.Caleb spoke cautiously in a cold voice, "Professor Stone, I may need you to tamper with your research on purpose after this to create confusion. You have to make everyone else mistakenly believe that the research has gone wrong, e
Ember trusted Caleb completely.She nodded slightly at him and agreed readily, "Okay."She wanted to spend more time with her mother.After agreeing to the suggestion, Ember suddenly realized something. She then looked up at Caleb with a concerned look in her eyes and asked, "Will it delay your work?"Caleb slowly curled his lip with a gentle look in his eyes.He reached out, stroked Ember's head, and replied dotingly, "Of course not. I have left the company's affairs to Allen, so I don't need to worry about it."Your mother matters the most now."It warmed Ember's heart when Caleb still stayed by her side despite the difficult time.A smile blossomed across her fair face as she gently hugged Caleb and said gently, "Caleb, thank you for being willing to be with me all this time.""What are you talking about? We are spouses. Of course I will always be with you.""Alright, don't you have to go to the hospital later? I'll take you there before I head to the lab."Ember nodded s
