The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Unethical Experimentation

"But I had no money, place to go, friends, or even family.There was no one [ could ask for help from,"

Edward continued, "I roamed the streets for three days, starving and freezing so much that I wanted to seek help from my professor.However, when I arrived at his home, I realized his door was locked, and it seemed like no one had been home in a long time. I asked around the neighborhood, but a neighbor suddenly called out my name and handed me my professor’s house keys. I asked them what had happened to my professor but never got any answers. So, I lived in my professor’s home for three years while searching for him. The authorities only revealed the truth when I was on the verge of breaking down."

He paused for a breath before adding, "It turned out that my professor tried searching for me and discovered the company's unethical experimentation in the process. He then informed the authorities and negotiated with the company to hand me over. He even gave them his life’s work and the data from his experiments, which he valued dearly.

That was the last time anyone saw him—he vanished.

From that day, I worked hard to earn a living and picked up various skills, including several types of martial arts.

I did all that in hopes of one day locating my professor and rescuing him from the company’s clutches.

"I eventually succeeded."

Edward’s gaze had been downcast the entire time he spoke.

Yet, when he said this, his head suddenly lifted his head, his eyes glimmering with unyielding determination.

"But my professor had damage in his central nervous system after undergoing those unethical experiments.He needed expensive treatment.That was when the Reid family approached me, promising to cover all my professor’s living expenses and medical bills.They assured me that they would never abandon him until he either recovers or dies."

Following that, Edward shot a firm look at Darius, stating, "That's why I’m very sorry, Mr.Reid.I understand your good intentions, but I can’t take on such a responsibility."

A moment passed as Darius pondered, "He’s just been through a lot in such a short time, so, understandably, he’s in denial.To be fair, Edward is a talented person, so I don’t mind waiting a few minutes more."

With that in mind, he nodded and replied, "Okay.We’ll keep things according to your wish."

The room then fell into a long period of silence.

In the end, Edward could not hold himself back He glanced at Darius and asked, "Mr.Reid, what do we do now?"

Darius shut his eyes and sighed.

"Where’s Miguel right now?"

Edward froze.

He did not know the answer, so he retreated two steps before speedily replying, "Mr.Reid, please rest here for a moment. I'll go find him."

He then took another two steps back and zipped out the door like lightning.

Only two minutes passed before he brought Miguel to Darius.

Miguel reached out and pointed at the main door, many conflicting emotions swirling in his gaze that focused on Darius.

Sensing that, Darius looked up from his laptop to see Miguel standing at the door and silently staring at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Perhaps Miguel had taken things too seriously that he trembled from head to toe upon hearing Darius’ words.

Darius arched a brow at such dramatic behavior.

Yet, he did not comment on it.

Instead, he returned to his seat, centered himself, then spoke.

"Come in."
