Chapter 8

작가: Grogan
My teammates were stunned, turning their heads to stare at me.

"Man, Ms. Bell is pulling all the stops, apologizing on TV and practically begging Ian to come back."

"I had no idea Professor Bell would walk away from her. Ms. Bell is loaded."

Everyone behind me kept chattering, total shock written all over their faces.

I kept a stoic face while organizing my sampling tools without pausing for a beat.

Camilla took strides over.

  • She Regretted It After I Left   Chapter 9

    Serenity traveled all the way to Antarctica to see me. She pulled every string she could through her family's powerful connections. The moment she found out where I was, she rushed here without a second thought. As soon as she stepped off the chartered plane, Serenity stumbled through the snow, making her way toward the research station's outer observation area.There, in the distance, Serenity saw me standing beside the scientific instrument. Camilla was right next to me, leaning over to go through the data with me. The wind caught a few strands of Camilla's hair. A warmth shone unmistakably in her eyes as she looked at me.Something Camilla said made me smile.The grin was so relaxed, so genuine, nothing like Serenity had ever seen before. "Ian, do you honestly not love me anymore?" With tearful eyes, Serenity disregarded safety and plowed through the snow to get to me. By wandering into a restricted area, Serenity disturbed the seals resting beneath the ice.Severa

Everyone behind me kept chattering, total shock written all over their faces.I kept a stoic face while organizing my sampling tools without pausing for a beat. Camilla took strides over. "Why are you all standing around? Do the data simulations run themselves, or does the sample inventory clear on its own?" The group dispersed. I looked up at her. "Thank you." It was barely a whisper. Camilla caught my words anyway. She handed over a heavy-duty ice safety rope, her eyes fixed out the window."Just so you know, I have way more money in my name than Serenity does." I was taken aback. "What?" Camilla's ears flushed red. She did not look at me or walk away. "I mean… "I'm pretty loaded too." Camilla certainly had a d

    Back in the States, everything was going up in flames. The polar charter flight smoothly landed at the inland scientific outpost.Endless white glaciers stretched across the horizon. A team of researchers stood in formation at the station, waiting to welcome me.Standing at the head of the group was the project's co-director.It was Camilla Hawthorn, a fellow researcher who had trained under the same PhD advisor as me."Welcome to the team, Ian." Camilla smiled and handed me a temperature-controlled field tablet. "I've gone through everything in advance—the station's equipment, the sample storage units, and the daily monitoring schedule. Everything's ready."I nodded faintly and took the tablet. "Thank you. I appreciate it." One of the senior professors, Timmy Dewell, on the team stepped forward with a friendly smile."Glad you made it, Professor! We've been bottlenecked on these two genetic comparison metrics for half a month. Nobody could figure out the math, and we w

    The security team hauled Darryl away from the hospital grounds.With a serious tone, Serenity instructed Millie, "Dig into everything. Pull the logs on the ruined drug data, every unusual movement in the lab, and Darryl's complete file from the past three years. I want every single scrap of evidence."The digital files arrived in a flash.Serenity sat in the waiting area outside the hospital room, repeatedly reviewing the original system logs, backup records from the server room, and laboratory security footage her assistant had sent her. The harsh light of the screen washed over her pale face.The day the data had been erased, Darryl had stayed behind in the lab alone that night, carefully positioning himself outside the range of every security camera. However, a separate camera near the refrigerated centrifuge had captured his actions at the workstation. In the footage, Darryl stood before the control panel. He carefully selected the data files containing the drug's core re

    "You pushed the divorce through? Why? Ian didn't do anything wrong." Serenity screamed through a raspy, cracked voice, her expression rattled. Trinity coughed and wheezed. Still, her tone remained firm. "He was never in the wrong. You were. "Ian gave you his entire heart. He worked late into the night for over a decade, developing that cure just to keep me alive, but what did you do?"You hurt him again and again, all for Darryl, who showed up out of nowhere." Serenity had always written off my work as some obsession with my career, mistaking my quiet forbearance for weakness.The truth was that I was terrified that knowing reality would break her heart. Serenity staggered back, shaking her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I didn't know his developed drug was to save you…" The disappointment was written all over Trinity's face. "Regardless of who it was for, you had no right to enable someone else to destroy his life's work and crush his dignity." Serenity f

    After the livestream, Serenity never came back home. Darryl took to social media daily to flex a brand-new diamond watch.He even bragged that Serenity bought it for him just to make up for everything he'd suffered.I had reached the point where I could face the whole thing unfazed. On the morning of the day before my flight to Antarctica, my phone started blaring.Over the phone, a staff member from the care facility was shaking so hard they could barely speak, saying something had happened to Connor.Dropping my phone without a second thought, I sprinted to the facility. As I threw open the door to his room, the smell of blood hit me straight in the face. Connor's face was swollen and battered, covered in bruises and raw cuts. He was also stripped of his clothes. Right in front of him stood Darryl, brandishing a riding crop and striking his already split, raw flesh, drawing fresh ribbons of blood."Dad!" With bloodshot eyes, I charged forward and pushed Darryl away. I
