After finalizing things with Simond, Abigail took Larry back to the Johnson Research Institute.
Abigail's emotions were complex as she sat in the cab. She had considered what Simond had said, and relying on Andrew for help was unwise. Martin and Andrew have a father-son relationship that is much closer than our relationship as an outsider. Human nature is the most unpredictable, but it must be considered.
Lost in thought, Abigail received a call from Kevin.
Abigail answered, "What's up?"
"I heard you went back. Why did you go back so soon? Simond and I were planning to find out who contacted Martin." Kevin thought it was unwise for Abigail to return now. Martin is so anxious for her to return. Is there no problem?!
"If I wait for you to finish investigating, won't it be too late for me to return? Regardless of the other party's intentions, I have to go back first," Abigail said calmly.
He didn't know what to say for a moment. Ultimately, he sighed and said, "Alright, if you need anything, remember to call us."
"Kevin, please let me know the investigation results as soon as possible," she commented sincerely.
Kevin murmured in agreement.
Abigail pursed her lips and held Larry tightly after hanging up the phone. Larry is different from the other children. He is asleep most of the time. Martin says his physical constitution is weak, so he sleeps most of the time.
Her heart also raced when she arrived at the Apex Research Institute.
Andrew had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. After Abigail entered the room, Andrew pushed the wheelchair forward and swiftly grabbed her clothes. "You're back."
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Abigail felt that he was a little nervous.
He looked at Abigail and took her to the fountain in the courtyard. Then, he said, "I was worried you wouldn't return."
She was momentarily stunned and then laughed. "Why would you think I wouldn't return?"
"I captured surveillance footage. Now, I'm giving it to you." Andrew whispered and secretly handed Abigail the chip he had been hiding in his hand.
"Okay." When Abigail received the chip, she felt that fate was still on her side. She had made the right bet.
Abigail did not ask further. Andrew has already done a great job. She put Larry in the room to sleep and started cleaning.
Abigail smiled slightly. "It's just a simple task." Brewing traditional medicine is different from cooking. It has a fixed schedule and is very structured but easy to follow.
