Andrew was concerned that Abigail might dislike Martin, so he quickly explained, "My father has been researching a medicine that can cause cancer in cells. Don't worry; he will replace it with something else. We will work together and put on a show."
"Do you mean your father can't leave?" Abigail felt that staying here would always be restrictive, and there would be no freedom.
"You saw those people at the door. There are many more in secret. If possible, I hope my father stays here," Andrew whispered. "Although I know the outside world is beautiful, I would rather not trade it for our lives."
She suddenly felt that his words were strangely heart-wrenching and asked softly, "Do you remember your days being outdoors?"
"I don't remember. I have been here since I was very young. I had forgotten everything before I fell sick." Andrew shrugged.
After watching the surveillance footage, Abigail patted Andrew's shoulder and said, "This footage is beneficial to me."
She had only said such words because she caught sight of the other party's face.
While Abigail was preparing dinner, she sent the surveillance footage to Simond. 'Andrew secretly recorded this. It should be useful.'
Simond quickly replied to Abigail's message. 'Very useful. I will hire a detective and uncover these people. Things should be easier then.'
Abigail's heart was filled with emotions upon seeing Simond's text. "Luna, whether you are alive or dead, we are getting closer to the target." After so much effort, we finally have some clues.
…
The night was serene.
Jonell Davidson walked into the study with a severe expression on his face. After sitting down, he dialed Nick's phone number.
Nick answered the call immediately.
"Nick, it seems that Martin has been living with Abigail for some time now. I heard from the bodyguard at the research institute's entrance that Andrew has feelings for Abigail. I'm afraid your plan won't work." Jonell didn't believe it and sent someone to inquire about it.
"I'm trying to contact Martin's superior. That disabled person Andrew likes Abigail?" Nick sneered. My men saw Andrew when they went there that day. Andrew has used a wheelchair for a few years. He has been in a vegetative state for a long time. Without his somewhat helpful father, he will experience muscle atrophy and become brain-dead.
"I have seen Sean brave the Golden Triangle for love. Don't underestimate the power of love," Jonell said coldly. He was a man approaching fifty and took good care of himself. On top of that, he was handsome but had a particularly gloomy temperament.
"Martin is looking after a disabled person, and he's not much of a threat either. I have thoroughly researched his background. He is dedicated to research and possesses some talent, but he is not outstanding. I can contact his superior and completely take over his research institute. As for Abigail... Even if we don't drug her, she will be under our control," Nick said calmly. "Remember to transfer the 4.5 million to my account immediately."
"Right away." Jonell was satisfied with Nick's attitude. Without Plan A, there is still a Plan B. He hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair to press his temples. At that moment, he glanced out the window and noticed a woman sitting on the swing outside. His eyes widened as he observed her until she left. After that, he withdrew his gaze.
