When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 335

Was this really a question of wanting more?

Henrietta bit her lip slightly.

Had he really forgotten?

Or was he deliberately avoiding the topic, hoping to brush it under the rug?

Hoping that by ignoring it, he could just get away with it?

But Henrietta didn't think Yosef was that kind of person.

He seemed… to be a very upfront man.

Just as Henrietta was lost in thought, the man put down his book and leaned over her.

Henrietta quickly put a hand on his chest to stop him. “That’s not it...”

Yosef propped himself up on his arms beside her, looking down at her with a serious expression. "Then what is it?"

Henrietta said, “Sit up first.”

Yosef paused for a second, then smiled. "Alright."

He sat up properly.

Henrietta looked at him. “Isn’t there something you wanted to tell me?”

Yosef seemed a little puzzled. "Tell you what?"

Henrietta said, “Britney.”

Only then did Yosef seem to have a moment of realization. He had genuinely forgotten about it.

Because it had never been important to him.

"Oh." Yosef took her hand and explained, "This project is a national one, and it involves Britney. We needed her to help. And we will continue to need her. She was the one who made the connection for this project; she's a key figure."

Henrietta was surprised, her eyes widening slightly.

She never would have imagined that Britney would be involved in a classified national project.

It sounded very impressive.

Yosef explained the whole story in a calm, even tone.

After making such an epic breakthrough, his first thought was of his home country.

If he developed this drug as a citizen of Fiora, it would have no connection to his homeland.

Moreover, if anyone in Fiora found out about his discovery, he would never be able to head back home.

So, he quietly contacted Britney.

Because the Leland family was a prominent and well-respected family here.

He didn't even dare to contact official government personnel, for fear of tipping off the wrong people.

Researchers like him had their every move monitored by their country's internal networks.

Since he had become a citizen of Fiora and joined a research institute, he was no longer just an ordinary person.

So he only dared to contact Britney, in a private capacity, as an alumnus.

He didn't even dare to mention a single word of the details in any digital communication with Britney.

He only said things like inviting Britney to visit Fiora for a vacation.
