Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 758

An art history major pivoting into elite scientific research?

Did they think geniuses were as common as dirt on the street?!

Not to mention, this was the Vanguard TBM Chip.

Could a Duke's son really have that kind of expertise?

He didn't buy it for a second!

Douglas pressed his lips together, clearly agreeing with Hudson's assessment.

"Alright, I'll have them keep digging."

The line went quiet for a few seconds before he added, "Oh, right, one more thing... Apex Research Co. has officially initiated their chip embargo. We just got the news. The first restricted list has been published, and it includes all the base models we're currently using."

Douglas's voice grew heavy. "If we don't finalize our proprietary design soon, we'll be completely locked out of the TBM sector."

Hudson lowered his eyes, his thumb gently tapping against his knee while his gaze remained fixed on the chip in his palm. "Understood. I'll head over shortly. I have something to discuss with you, Professor. Wait for me."

"Alright, I'll be here."

After hanging up, Hudson set his phone on the coffee table and turned to look at Nora, who was carefully trying to stretch her lower back.

The local anesthetic hadn't completely worn off yet, so her movements were slow and slightly delayed, making her look endearingly clumsy.

Watching her, the corners of Hudson's lips unconsciously curved up. He stepped forward to support her. "Does the incision hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it just feels numb." Nora looked up at him. "What did Professor Campbell want? Are you heading back to the lab?"

"Yeah." Hudson didn't hide it from her. "Apex Research Co. just started their embargo. I need to go handle it."

Nora nodded quickly. "Then hurry up and go..."

"No rush..." Hudson opened his hand, revealing the tiny piece of hardware. "There's also this... Archer said the chip is encrypted. I'm going to take it to the Professor to see if he can crack it. Since he knew your mother well, he might have an idea."

"Okay, got it." Nora looked up at him earnestly. "If this really is the RLG technology you've been looking for, just use it. My mom went through the trouble of sewing it into my body... I doubt she wanted it to fall into the wrong hands."

Hudson's lips tightened. He thought about what Liam had uncovered regarding those two men from Russia. It was highly likely that Nora's mother's disappearance was connected to them...

However, until he got to the absolute bottom of it, he couldn't tell Nora. He didn't want to worry her.

With that in mind, Hudson leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Don't get the wound wet for the next three days. If you need anything, have Olive or Soren take care of it."

"I know."

"Good girl..."
