Chapter 714 An Assassination
Natalie frowned and called Ross on the phone. Then, she headed to the research department.
When she arrived, Ross had a pair of goggles on and held a dropper and a test tube to conduct a chemistry experiment. He noticed that the test tube’s content did not change color and recorded his findings in a report. Ross was so focused on his experiment that he did not notice Natalie put on a lab coat and came into the lab.
After some time, Ross finally noticed he and his assistant were not the only ones in the lab. Then, he saw Natalie.
“Ms. Nichols, what brings you here?” Ross asked solemnly.
Natalie did not say anything but gestured for him to continue his experiment. She then went to assist him.
After some time, Natalie and Ross left the lab and took off their sweat-drenched coats. Their wet stands plastered to their foreheads.
“So, you thought the same too.” Ross continued solemnly, “You suspect someone poisoned the victims with an undiscovered poison. After the special medicine alleviated the cancer symptoms, the poison caused their bodies to decline rapidly.”
“Yes.” Natalie nodded. “I believe this is an important clue. If we can crack this clue, we should be able to prove that the special medicine did not cause those deaths. Furthermore, we can find out who is behind this.”
Ross noticed that Natalie looked haggard but determined. Therefore he answered sincerely, “Don’t worry. I will do my best to investigate.”
“Thank you,” Natalie replied.
After that, she worked until past midnight before leaving the lab.
She came out of the company building and checked her phone. There were messages from her children.
Mommy, are you busy with work?
Mommy, take care of your health even when you are busy. Don’t work too hard!
Mommy, when are you coming home?
