Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377 Losing Control

Just then, a text from Sebastian came in: It’s likely. We should get that looked into.

Sasha: Wow, Ichika! That’s so impressive! We didn’t even think of that possibility. Good job!

This was immediately followed by a text from Sabrina containing no fewer than ten thumb-up emojis and a smiley face.

Devin: That makes sense, actually. Good job.

Solomon raised a brow at the multitude of compliments showering down on Ichika, and a smile crept up his lips without his knowledge.

Half an hour later, he heard light footsteps approaching his study. As he expected, it was his wife, who was carrying a bowl of soup.

“Darling, I made some supper. Would you like some?” She smiled at him sweetly, her eyes bright and her tone joyous.

This time, Solomon was aware of the smile he was wearing as he nodded.

Two days later, the results of the investigation were out. Ichika’s speculation turned out to be true. The poisoned engineer, Hugh Giibson, had somehow gotten his hands on some preservatives that contained zinc, which he then used on the meat he brought from home in hopes of getting them to last longer. As a result, he ingested an overdose of zinc and got himself poisoned.

It ended up being a classic case of much ado about nothing.

Sebastian was slightly annoyed and embarrassed to have taken this matter so seriously. Amused, his wife was quick to comfort him.

“Come on, don’t be so grumpy. It’s a good thing that it turned out to be something so trivial,” Sasha said placatingly. “You should be happy that everything’s fine.”

Sebastian huffed but said nothing, which Sasha considered as an agreement to what she said. She chuckled inwardly. He can be such a child sometimes.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was concluded, the couple received an unexpected visit from Bertram Anderson, the director of the research institute.

On behalf of the institute, he thanked them for their help in the investigation and apologized for causing such trouble in the first place.

Not only that, he had come bearing a gift—an exclusive invitation for the couple to visit Aurora Island.

Sasha’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Wow, seriously? Aurora Island?”

It was where the institute’s scientists conducted their most revolutionary research and experiments, some of which had led to changes in the island’s surrounding atmosphere. As a result, one could observe some stunningly beautiful aurora lights on the island, which was hence aptly named as such.

Despite being one of the most fascinating places in the world, Aurora Island was strictly off-limits to outsiders, and a chance to go there was considered by many a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
