Charles had told Nina that the manuscript was a family heirloom, containing research notes on the early prototypes of vaccines.

He also claimed that the Summer family’s elders were among the first veterinarians in Eastland.

Back then, Nina believed him completely. She worked tirelessly, reaching out to friends she’d made in Ziminake to help translate the research notes.

She even taught herself Limbu, a rare language, on her own.

Relying on those notes and her own expertise, Nina threw herself into the task and assembled a comprehensive set of vaccine materials.

These materials became the very foundation for Nina’s development of the PawGuard vaccine for the Summer family.

Now, looking at both side by side, it was undeniable. Tanya’s manuscript and the so-called ancestral secret notes from the Summer family clearly belonged to the same lineage.

Nina glanced up, her voice quivering with disbelief and surprise. “Simon, I’ve seen this manuscript before, back at the Summer family.

“It was about two years ago. They brought it out and asked me to take a look to see if I could understand what was written.”

Simon’s head snapped up, shock and confusion flashing in his eyes. “What? But Mom was supposed to have nothing to do with the Summer family in Jelasburg.”

Nina suddenly remembered something, urgency slipping into her voice as she blurted out, “And Claire? Has she ever seen this manuscript?”

Simon’s heart tightened. He shook his head firmly. “No, she hasn’t.

“Claire’s never really cared about our parents’ past, and I never mentioned the manuscript to her.”

As Claire got older, she just got more and more rebellious.

Every time she talked to Simon, it was just asking for money or complaining that he wasn’t bringing in any serious cash.

Honestly, trying to have a proper conversation with her was nearly impossible for Simon, so he never mentioned the manuscript at all.

At that moment, a vague yet weighty impression of Tanya, mother Nina had never met, started to form in her mind. She pictured a woman of extraordinary talent, a veterinarian and an accomplished scientist in animal biology.

Perhaps Tanya had secret ties to the Summer family, and in her lifetime, she battled her own demons, trapped by the torment of mental illness.

Just thinking about the pain and loneliness her mother must have endured made Nina’s heart tighten with

sorrow.

It was like fate had picked up their whole family and thrown them all over the place, leaving everyone stranded.

Their dad, John, died bravely trying to save someone. Their mom, Tanya, fell into depression and lost herself.

Simon had all the talent in the world, but somehow ended up working as a cop in a remote corner of Jelasburg.

Nina herself got mixed up at birth and landed in a rich family, but…

Nina shook her head. Really, their whole family was just a bunch of “bitter gourds”.

Just then, Simon reached out with a gentle, comforting touch, his fingers softly caressing Nina’s furrowed brow as he spoke in a calm and tender voice.

“Nina, don’t stress yourself right now. The truth is waiting for us. We’ll uncover it together,” he reassured her.

Nina nodded hard, taking a deep breath and trying to clear away the shadows from her mind.

“Simon, today isn’t just all doom and gloom. There’s something huge to celebrate too!” said Nina.

Nina clutched the wooden box holding her mother’s manuscript even tighter, her excitement practically spilling over as her voice shook.

She said, “Back when I was heading up the PawGuard vaccine project, the Summer family only handed me a few stray pages. Those scraps were a game-changer for me, and I broke through bottlenecks I’d been stuck on for ages.

“But now, I’ve got the entire manuscript!”

Simon vaguely remembered Nina mentioning that the Summer Veterinary Group was still keeping a tight grip on the PawGuard vaccine patent that she’d developed.

His heart gave a little jolt. Leaning in, he asked quietly, “Could this manuscript help you finally reclaim the patent for yourself?”

Nina nodded, then let out a helpless sigh and shook her head. “I’ve been weighing all this these last few days. If I want to fight for the patent through legal channels, it’d be a super-long and exhausting process.

“With the way my finances and energy look right now, there’s no way I could keep up with a court battle against the Summer family.

“Back at the Summer family’s place, everything I used belonged to them.

“According to patent law, any invention made with their stuff counts as an employee invention. The patent goes to the company by default.”

Nina paused for a second, her eyes glinting with unwillingness. “The Summer family will definitely latch onto

that and argue the vaccine belongs to Summer Veterinary Group. They won’t let go of that point.

‘If I want to win it back, I have to prove that all the real breakthroughs were mine, and the Summer family basically just provided some resources.

“They even went out of their way to scam me and steal all my hard work.”

That was the hardest part.

Nina took a deep breath, clutched the yellowed manuscript tighter to her chest.

Her eyes lit up, voice brimming with energy. “Simon, now that I’ve got Mom’s original notes, I believe I can cook up a vaccine that’s even better than PawGuard. It will be more advanced and more effective!”

Simon gently ruffled her hair, his gaze steady and full of trust. “I believe in you.”

Nina’s face was tense, her voice sharp. “Right now, the biggest thing is to get a clear answer. Alex is claiming the PawGuard vaccine I made is seriously flawed and causes bad side effects in animals.”

She took a quick breath and continued, “I’ve secretly been keeping a close eye on whatever the Summer family’s up to lately.

“They’re about to drop a brand-new vaccine, and of course, they’re saying Claire’s leading the whole thing.”

“Trust me. There’s absolutely no way PawGuard has the problems they’re talking about.”

Nina’s voice grew stronger with every word. “We need to investigate this from top to bottom. Especially, I want to know exactly what’s inside their so-called new vaccine.”

Her words sped up, filled with urgency. “They’re rolling out this new vaccine in record time. I seriously suspect they’re just modifying my research, barely changing anything, and then putting their own label on it.

“If that’s what they’re really doing, we have to stop this vaccine from hitting the shelves as soon as possible and blow their dirty tricks wide open.”

Simon balled his hands into fists, frustration flickering in his eyes. “What can I do to help you?”

He couldn’t help but curse himself for not being strong enough.

Nina squeezed Simon’s hand. “If I ever need help, I’ll definitely reach out to you, Simon!

“If we ever get solid proof the Summer family’s up to something illegal, you’ll be the one to take them down.”

Her tone suddenly turned playful, a sly spark flashing in her eyes. “For now, though, I’ve left all the spying on the Summer family to my Animal Detective Squad!”

It was already September 1st.

It was the usual payday at the Jelasburg Police Department, and Nina’s phone buzzed. A fresh bank notification was lighting up her screen.
