When the GF9 Test Subject Became His Obsession novel Chapter 111

"Dad, is there really no other way? What about the Simpson family?"

"The Simpson family won’t even answer the phone!" Richard snapped in frustration. At a time like this, Celeste was still worrying about appearances? Did she want him to file for bankruptcy?

"Celeste, are you saying you can’t get money from Taylor?"

Celeste’s heart went cold. "Fine. I’ll borrow from Taylor."

Only then did Richard’s anger ease a little.

Celeste hurried to school and caught up to Taylor just as he walked out of the student council office.

She rushed forward. "Taylor…"

Taylor’s pace was brisk. "Celeste, I have something urgent. We’ll talk later!"

Dr. Q had just replied to him with comments on his robotic arm project, and he was desperate to put her suggestions into practice.

Celeste stood frozen, watching Taylor leave, without even the excuse to stop him.

At noon, she bought him lunch and took it to the lab.

When Taylor was absorbed in experiments, she was usually the one who brought him meals.

Her iris scan granted her access. She went in, sat quietly by the workbench for half an hour, and Taylor didn’t say a single word to her.

Taylor was always like this—once consumed by research, he forgot himself. Eating and drinking meant nothing to him, let alone taking time to listen to her troubles.

Celeste felt a deep, bitter sadness. Sometimes she even wondered if she could really spend her whole life with Taylor.

She covered the cup, placed it within his reach, and added hot water to keep the dishes warm.

She even washed and cut fruit. When everything was ready, she stood up. "Taylor, remember to eat and drink."

No response. He was crouched beside the robotic arm, adjusting a component.

Celeste couldn’t describe what she felt, and she turned quietly to leave. Her hand had just touched the doorknob when Taylor’s voice came. "Celeste."

She turned back. He had already stood, pulling a bank card from his pocket. "I forgot to give you this. My dad said the Reed family is in trouble. There’s a million dollars in here—use it for now. The password is your birthday."

Celeste was stunned into silence.
