Lahat ng Kabanata ng Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Kabanata 1671 - Kabanata 1680

Lily came to the laboratory and saw Edmund standing in a daze. “Dr. Morris?”“Lily, look.” Edmund glanced over his shoulder at her. He looked disturbed and pointed with his finger. Lily looked in his finger’s direction and saw the mice lying supine in the observational cage.“How did it happen?” Shocked, Lily took two steps over and examined them one by one. Most of the mice were dying, and two were lying in lethargy. She opened each box and examined them. She knew none of the mice would survive.“I didn’t do anything.” As Lily turned to look at Edmund, he raised his hands to show he was innocent. “I saw this when I reached here, and then you came.”Lily gave him a deep look and did not say anything. Soon, Dr. Blanc rushed over. He was shocked to see what happened as the mice had been injected with the virus and fed Lily’s concoctions.‘If herbal medicine is the cause, I wonder what would happen when the patients drink it?’“What happened?” He asked with a frown.“I heard someth

As Lily was forthright and everyone else was staring, Dashiell felt humiliated, as his expression turned cold. “What the hell do you mean? Lily, you better clarify yourself!”“It’s rather clear. Don’t you get it?” Lily looked at him. “I believe you know better than I do why the mice died.”“You’re saying I poisoned your mice?” Dashiell laughed coldly. “What a joke! Everyone knows we belong to different departments, and I hardly come over here, let alone sabotage your experiment. Besides, your place is locked. How am I supposed to get in?”“Every laboratory in the research area has a lock, but we all have access,” Lily retorted, “Why couldn’t you?”“We have access to every lab except yours,” After saying so, Dashiell frowned and abruptly stopped.Lily smiled. “How did you know? Have you tried it before?”“I-I heard…” Dashiell looked a bit discomposed. “Don’t blame your incompetence on me! I have nothing to do with your mice dying! The problem lies with your herbal medicine!”“Ple

Unified footsteps were heard, and a team of men in military uniforms showed up at the laboratory doorway.“What the…” Flustered, Dashiell looked toward Dr. Blanc. “Dr. Blanc, what the hell is this?”The presence of these men showed that things had gotten serious.Dr. Blanc turned around to face him. “Dr. Stone, Dr. Russell, you both signed the non-disclosure agreements when you first joined, and you know the rules here. Besides, bickering can’t solve any problems in our department. It’s a serious matter, and no matter who the culprit is, we cannot tolerate such an act in this department!”The X Department was a special division, and the military would intervene during emergencies. Even Dr. Blanc worked for the military. It was apparent that he was the one who mobilized these men.“Dr. Blanc, it had nothing to do with me. She’s trying to take revenge on me because I doubted her, and she resents me for it. You must get to the bottom of this, as I’m truly innocent! The person in that

Someone had called Austin a human trafficker for the first time in his life. He was nonplussed and caught himself after two seconds before reaching an arm through the grille to point at Galen.“Hey, you little brat! Who are you calling a human trafficker? Have you seen such a good-looking one? How could you accuse me of such things?!”“Who are you calling little brat, Little Brat?” Having given no response, Dominic suddenly leaped out of nowhere and shouted at Austin.Austin lost his nerve when he saw his granduncle. “U-Uncle Dom, it wasn’t me…”“Who else but you? I heard it! I’m doing you a favor by letting you stay here, you know? How dare you scold my grandson?” Dominic stood akimbo and argued loudly with him.Austin was at a loss for a moment.He tried vainly to stop himself from retorting, “Uncle Dom, I’m your grandnephew. That little brat—" He noticed Dominic’s glare and quickly amended, “That little thing did it on purpose. Besides, he is not related to you…”His voice gr

Austin had no energy left when he woke up again. He opened his eyes and stared upward in a daze. Still not fully awake, Austin tried to move his arm but could only lift his fingers. His throat was itchy, so he wanted to cough but could only breathe when he opened his mouth.It was a weird feeling. It was as if Austin was on the brink of death but had hung on by a single breath. He could not die, yet could hardly live.“You’re awake?” A gentle voice sounded.Austin wanted to turn his head but could only move his eyeballs.“Don’t try to move. You’ve drained your energy. Even if you want to move, it’ll be hard.” Dominic guessed what his grandnephew wanted to do and sighed before sitting beside Austin. Dominic was holding a bowl of steaming herbal medicine but looked gentler.“I…” Austin struggled to speak. He had too many questions, but his throat was unbearably dry, and it would take a lot of energy to utter even a single word.Dominic leaned over and pulled Austin’s blanket up a b
