Chapter 574
In the next few days, Isabella's injuries recovered very quickly.
Out of some instinctive vigilance, Isabella did not activate the half Prime Code Chip in her body. Otherwise, her injuries would heal faster.
A few days passed in a row. The gossip between her and Sumner had already spread to the neighboring town, but Isabella still did not receive any news about Draxton and Big Dipper members.
She felt a little uneasy.
That night, she was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by a faint argument.
Isabella knew that there was no mistress in this house. There were only two masters, which were Sumner and his father.
The argument in the middle of the night was between Sumner and his father.
The two of them spoke really loudly. Isabella could not sleep at all and could only lie on the bed and listen silently.
The truth was, even if she didn't listen, the conversation between the two of them still drilled into her ears.
The old man said, "You should have stayed abroad. Why did you come back? Did you get the degree you wanted?"
"Don't you know why I came back?"
"Are you still thinking about that laboratory? Didn't I warn you long ago that it's not something you should be involved with? You'd better give up!"
"I went to study biology just to enter that laboratory. You know how persistent I am!"
The old man roared impatiently, "That laboratory is not a place you should go. How many times do you want me to say it before you listen? That's not a good place! You can enter any other laboratory in this big world. I'll give you money, but don't you ever think about that laboratory again!"
Sumner stared at the old man calmly. The scene he saw when he accidentally barged into that laboratory when he was young flashed across his mind. He actually saw a person floating in the air. That scene exceeded all his understanding.
Over the years, Sumner had learned a lot of professional knowledge, but he still could not figure out if that magical scene was his imagination or something else.
"I have to get into that laboratory!"
Sumner said to the old man firmly and seriously.
The old man looked at Sumner's determined expression and fell weakly onto the sofa. His eyes turned red as he wiped his tears and choked. "Sumner, it's not I don't want you to go in there, but you really can't.
"Once you enter that place, you won't be able to come out again. You're my only son. You have to listen to me."
Sumner's brows furrowed tightly.
"What's the secret in that lab? Dad, did you do something against morality and law?"
Sumner's gaze sharpened.
Meanwhile, Isabella's expression changed when she heard everything.
She would never have thought that she would hear such a conversation.
The wealth of Sumner and his father far exceeded what this small town should have. If they were really doing something behind the scenes, it was completely reasonable.
