Seeing his puzzled face which was still flattered, Lyra explained.
"Didn't you say that ordinary ointment is useless for the injury caused by S40. This box is the allopathic ointment I asked someone to buy yesterday morning. Use this for the back. It should be healed faster."
Melvin looked down at the ointment in his hand.
Although she didn't say it, he knew in his heart that this ointment was only available in the war lab, and it was probably she contacted Collin to get it.
The treatment effect was really not bad, but this was S404 biochemical virus. This ointment was useless for his injury.
"Thanks, it's the first gift you've given me since the divorce."
His thumb gently stroked the ointment box. His eyes were slightly red and he even felt the bruises all over his body less painful.
"Not really a gift. You got hurt for me this time, so this is compensation for my guilt, and ..."
Lyra paused and smiled evilly "What really qualifies as gifts since the divorce is the bankruptcy of the Freeman family, your employment agreement, and that 023."
Melvin stopped stroking.
Suddenly it seemed that he was not so moved ...
Lyra was happy to see his expression freeze. She laughed as he went to get Anthony's oral confession that he had placed on the table.
Word by word, she read carefully, and her smile gradually faded on her face, getting more and more serious.
"Anthony said that Vincent Lloyd ordered him to do what happened at the bar earlier. And the splashing of that drug?"
Vincent was her uncle, a casual member of the Lloyd family, with little ambition.
She had previously thought that Kacper Lloyd might be among those who harmed her, but never thought it would be Vincent.
Melvin nodded, "Although Anthony may not have fully explained, he can clearly say the details of the exchange and the process. It should not be wrong. Vincent's son is in the State Affairs Bureau. Anthony is afraid of him, listens to his transfer to the laboratory to steal drugs. That also makes sense."
Lyra sat down on the small couch next to her and was silent for a long time. Her face gradually emerged with anger.
"Vincent, I can't let him get away with it! Tomorrow I will go to Suham to teach him a lesson!"
She couldn't endure the anger if she didn't let him have a taste of her suffering with such insidious means!
She looked up and remembered Melvin's injury, "You're still injured, so stay well at the villa and don't follow this time."
Melvin was worried about finding an excuse, and when Lyra wouldn't let him go, he took advantage of the situation.
"Okay, I'll be at the villa, waiting for you to come back."
His voice got lower and lower as he said the last few words, but Lyra didn't notice. She was still reading Anthony's confession carefully.
"Vincent, the old-timer. He is hiding so well!"
"From what you said, you seem to be quite familiar with this Vincent. Have you been to the Lloyd family before?"
Melvin raised his eyebrows. Although he already knew that she was probably the Lloyd family's daughter, Lyra never mentioned this, and he suddenly got the idea to make fun of her.
Lyra heard his words, raised her head to look at him, and raised her eyebrows as well, "Not familiar with him, but I am familiar with Mr. Lloyd. Perhaps because Mr. Lloyd is too good to me, which led this group of the Lloyd family people jealous, to harm me."
"Oh."
Melvin pursed his lips and stifled a laugh.
When he looked up, he found Lyra watching his expression with sharp eyes.
He hastily pulled a long face and changed into a very upset expression.
"Why are you telling me this? I don't think Keith is that good to you."
Lyra propped her hand on her chin and sounded a little petulant, "So, you're jealous again?"
Melvin lowered his head, not answering her question. His voice muffled, "I'm going to make breakfast."
He did not smile helplessly until he turned his head and went out.
Lyra smiled as well, and when he left, she pored over the confession twice more and began to make arrangements to return to Suham tomorrow.
