Wilson stepped out and saw the strange men standing outside the gate, so he shouted, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
One of the men said, "Hi, is this Miss Avery Tate's house? We are Professor Greens—"
Before he could finish, Avery ran outside the house in her slippers and hurried to the yard to open the gate. "Thank you for delivering these to me. Come in and have a glass of water!" Avery let them in and reached for one of the boxes in their hands.
"Miss Tate, these are quite heavy. We will carry them inside for you!"
The two men swiftly carried the boxes inside.
"You don’t have to take off your shoes. Just
walk straight in.” Avery followed closely behind them.
"Miss Tate, what are they carrying?" Wilson walked next to Avery and asked, "Is it from that old man?"
"Yeah. Professor Greens is a respectable professor. Even if you can't remember his name, you shouldn't refer to him as 'that old man'," she corrected.
"Oh... Okay!" Wilson responded sheepishly.
Once the boxes were inside the house, Avery immediately went to pour water for the two assistants Professor Greens sent.
"It’s fine, Miss Tate. We have water in the car."
The two turned to leave and she set the glasses down to walk them out.
As expected, there was nothing valuable inside the boxes, only piles of documents, and Wilson hated nothing more than papers filled with words.
After seeing the assistants off, Avery walked back to the door.
Sensing her presence, Wilson immediately took out two pieces of paper from the box and shoved them into Elliot's hands.
"Mr. Foster, just tell her that you were the one who wanted to see these, or Miss Tate is going to be mad at me," Wilson said, hiding behind Elliot.
Elliot lowered his gaze at the paper Wilson shoved into his hands. The title comprised a lot of medical jargon, but he could make out that involved the viability of using an artificial brain to extend life.
He could comprehend what an artificial brain meant, it should work exactly like artificial hearts, which would replace the original heart when it stopped working.
