Chapter 429 The Secret Behind White Hair

They soon realized it was true.

Ferris lay there; no matter how much they called his name, he would not wake up.

Thereafter, the whole house fell into chaos.

Stanley called the family doctor.

The doctor couldn’t do anything.

So they rushed to different hospitals, searching for top specialists everywhere.

A month passed, and Ferris still did not wake up.

No one knew why he had fallen into a coma or how it had happened.

They could not find a single cause.

In just one month, Stanley seemed to age more than ten years.

Before, he had been full of energy, always looking strong and healthy.

After just one month, it was obvious Stanley had lost his energy and spirit.

Back then, he even started to wonder if their family business had grown too big.

The Jenkins weren’t just wealthy. They were the top family in Jyncrest City, one of the four elite families. Many people in power were connected to them. Stanley himself was a powerful man.

He began to think maybe their family’s fate was too strong. And Ferris, the youngest son, was so gifted that he had to go through hardship because of it.

If the family became less powerful, maybe Ferris would suffer less.

So Stanley slowly began to scale back the family business.

When they used to live together, Ferris had said from a young age that he wanted to live on his own. He didn’t like staying with the whole family.

After Ferris fell into a coma, Stanley started giving him everything he had ever wanted.

He moved Ferris to the villa halfway up the mountain.

From that point forward, Stanley indulged Ferris in every possible way.

Ten years went by in an instant.

Ferris still hadn’t woken up.

hope.

Scarlett listened quietly.

From Simon, she learned that nothing unusual had happened before Ferris fell into a coma.

It had been a normal day. Nothing strange at all.

He went to sleep like always and never woke up the next morning.

Scarlett suddenly asked, “When did your uncle’s hair start turning white?”

Einight

Simon replied, “The day after he fell into a coma. At first, it was just a little. It started at the roots. After a month, all his hair turned white.”

He paused, then added, “And his hair grows fast. Faster than when he was awake. He used to want to grow it out, but Grandpa Stanley didn’t like it. After he fell into a coma, Grandpa Stanley let him keep it long.”

Scarlett nodded. “Something must have happened before he went into the coma.”

Hair wasn’t only related to the kidneys.

It was also tied to the body’s blood and bones.

If his hair turned white like that, it meant there had been damage deep inside his body.

Something had definitely happened that night.

As for what exactly, only Ferris himself would know.

Scarlett checked him again, but she couldn’t find any signs of injury from ten years ago.

At least for now, his body looked healthy.

In the end, Ferris probably understood his condition best.

As for the details, she couldn’t figure them out from this alone.

When he woke up one day, the family could ask him themselves.

So whatever came next had little to do with her.

All she needed to do was treat him as a patient and come once a month for needle therapy.

Scarlett returned to the villa. Two days later, Lorentia called her.

With a smile, Lorentia said, “Scarlett, you can start working in the lab now. I’ll send you the address. Just head over. I’ve already informed the higher–ups, and your access pass is ready.”

Scarlett smiled. “Alright.”

After receiving the address, she saw it was near the Academy of Engineering, not far from Jyncrest University.

She drove there in the Al car she had won from Eustace.

The “access pass” Lorentia mentioned was an iris scan. Once her data was transferred from the previous lab, she could move freely inside.

After parking, Scarlett walked straight into the lab.

She passed through every checkpoint without any trouble.

In the chip research lab…

Chip technology wasn’t only studied by the government.

Many large companies had their labs too, all trying to make breakthroughs.

After all, if someone could solve the hardest problems in chip technology, it would change everything.

For a company, it could mean a huge leap forward, earning national recognition and stepping onto the global stage.

Inside the lab, an elderly academician was speaking to his team.

“A new colleague will be joining us soon. When you see her, don’t be too surprised.”

His name was Colin Sharp.

He was the director of the National Key Laboratory for Chip Technology and a member of the Academy of Engineering.

He specialized in microelectronics and large–scale integrated circuits.

For years, he had led top talent in researching chip technology. He had many projects under his leadership.

A few days ago, Colin learned that someone new would join his lab.

After reading her file, even he felt unsure.

He had asked the higher–ups, “Are you sure there hasn’t been a mistake?”

The senior leader replied, “No mistake. We trust her. The recent breakthrough in the superalloy project happened because of her. You can call Lorentia and ask. You know that project had been stuck for over two years. Because of her, the technology has reached a whole new level.”
