Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 1648

Chapter 1648

After returning to his senses, Edmund seemed to have relaxed a little.

However, he persisted.

"Dr.Stone.Those who come here are not ordinary people.You aren't a nobody either.Dr.Blanc mentioned before that we should focus on beating the virus rather than other people's affairs.What we should do now is focus on doing our tasks well."

After a pause, he continued, "We corrected the mistake you previously made in the nick of time, so there were no irreparable consequences.It wasn't reported to the higher-ups as well.However, if there happens to be another..."

"No, no.There won't be a next time!"

Dashiell interjected and said smilingly, "I promise I won't make such a rookie mistake again! You're right, Dr.Morris.I shouldn't ask so many questions.All right, time's almost up.I should get back to work!"

After he finished speaking, he retracted his arm and left.

Edmund looked at Dashiell walking away and shook his head helplessly before continuing along his path.

"How’s everything going?"

A low and hoarse voice sounded.

It was a voice he could recognize without seeing a face.

This voice was his nightmare.

It was a nightmare he could not wake up from.

That voice was the only thing ringing in his ears.

Raising his head slowly, he looked at the person standing on the chair.

The person was no taller than himself.

Mike's hands trembled as he humbly answered, "Everything is ready.You can leave any time you want."

"Great! I can finally leave this ghost town tomorrow!"

The man opened his arms and laughed loudly.

The laughter echoed in the room, making the hairs on Mike's arms stand.

"As far as I know, the virus is spreading very quickly, and the fatality rate is low.The whole world is trying to overcome this..."

"Huh?!"

The man suddenly grabbed Mike's collar.His stare through the mask almost burned holes into Mike's face.

"What are you trying to say?! Don't forget.Your son..."

"I know my son is in your hands, and I'm not trying to go against you.

We're on the same team.

If we succeed, I will reap the benefits as well.

Remember that I am a businessman, and my main goal is to make money.

"I know how much I can earn if this virus goes out of control, and we're the only ones in the world with the antidote."

After a pause, he continued, "But...what if someone made the antidote first?"
