Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 504

"Even though you and Mr. Irvin are no longer together, he still loves you so much, Ms. Quill. He risked his life to protect you. So, no matter what, you owe it to him to do your very best," the man said.

He added, "Also, I heard you're pregnant. So, even if it's not for Irvin's sake, please at least do your best for the child you're carrying, Ms. Quill.

"If you can lead the research team and help us achieve our research goals, we'll let you, your child, and Mr. Irvin go. Not only that, we'll even give you a full share of the profits and let you own the patent rights.

"However, if you refuse to put your heart into it, then I'm afraid we'll have to make you lose everything you care about. One by one. For instance, we could start with the child you're carrying," the man threatened.

After I was escorted back to my quarters, "Irvin"—who had been covered in tubes and lying motionless inside the glass room—sat up. With a casual sweep of his arm, he removed all the fake tubing attached to his body.

Then, he got up and returned to his office. Shortly after, the slim man, who had just walked me back, entered as well.

Giving a thumbs-up, he praised, "No one pulls it off like you, boss."

The recipient, Timothy, was lounging lazily in a chair and smoking a cigar. Grinning wickedly, he tossed the slim man a cigar.

"Keep a close eye on her. Once she completes the research, we'll be years ahead of all our scheduled plans," Timothy said.

Catching the cigar, the slim man mirrored Timothy's grin and replied, "You got it!"
