Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 271

But his boss had forbidden him from speaking out of turn, so he couldn't say much.

He had no choice but to give in.

“Ms. Mercer, if you must go back to the company, please be extremely careful. Your health absolutely cannot take another hit. If anything were to happen, I think… I wouldn't make it.”

As he spoke, Ethan's voice trailed off.

Lillian didn't quite hear him. “What did you say?”

Ethan quickly corrected himself. “Ms. Mercer, I said I'll have the driver bring the car around.”

Lillian gave him a skeptical look. Was that what he had said?

It didn't sound like it.

But it didn't matter.

Lillian nodded. Although she felt stronger and seemed to have recovered a lot, it was probably best not to drive.

Lillian frowned slightly. “They haven't even sorted out their algorithm issues. How could they get results so quickly? Victor, you’re an expert in this field. Do you think there’s any smoke and mirrors here?”

Victor said, “Without a powerful algorithm to support it, it would indeed be very difficult.

“But the press conference is tomorrow. They're releasing some related gadgets. Let's go and see it together.”

Lillian nodded. “I’m curious too. Let's go and check it out.”
