Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1378

Dr. Cole waved his hand and asked Talia to leave after he heard her repeated assurance.

After Talia left his office, he picked up his phone and called Jason to report on the situation. He took the opportunity to wash the problem off his hands as well.

Jason did not comment after he listened to what Dr. Cole had to say. All he did was acknowledge the situation.

After Dr. Cole put down the call, he touched his chin and thought about it. He could not sense anything from Jason's tone and wondered whether Luke would take Luca’s side once again.

He was not entirely confident.

After Luca left Dr. Cole's office, she went straight to the laboratory. The staff had already cleaned up the mess, including the broken experiment instruments.

"Is everything sorted out?" she asked.

One of the researchers handed her a few sheets of paper and said, "Dr. Craw, we just checked and these are the data that have been wiped clean. The computer archive has been completely deleted as well and we don’t know if it can be repaired."

"Get ready, we’ll have a meeting in ten minutes." Luca did not have to read the contents on the paper to know that a lot of data was lost. It was pointless to say anything. The next step was to have a meeting to see if they should redo the research or find a way to make up for the lost data.

"Yes." Several people responded to her. They took their laptops and walked to the meeting room.

Luca glanced at the papers and then said, "Mr. Link, inform Dr. Cole that there’ll be a meeting later."

"Okay," Rhett nodded, turned around, and walked out.

After Rhett left, Luca went back to her office to grab her laptop.

She asked Rhett to inform Dr. Cole as part of the preparation. Luke had the final say on how to solve this issue.

Judging from the missing data that was sorted out, her research would most definitely be delayed.

Luca walked to the meeting room. Dr. Cole had arrived earlier and was sitting in the chairperson seat. She did not say anything and just handed him the information on the data they lost. "Dr. Cole, this is the data lost in this incident. Please preside over the situation."

Dr. Cole flipped through the pages one by one and silently praised Talia for her good work when he saw that a large portion of the important data was missing.

Since the key data was gone, Luca’s previous research was done in vain.

"Dr. Craw, so much data is lost. Do you have a backup?" Dr. Cole put the papers aside. The more he looked at them, the happier he was. However, he could not show his true feelings in front of so many people.

"No. If there was a backup, everyone wouldn’t be so worried." Luca glanced at the other researchers.

When a new drug was launched, the company stated that all members participating in the research would receive a large share of the profits. Now that the data was lost, the research done was all for nothing. If they wanted to redo the research, the time spent on it previously would all go to waste.

Everyone wanted to get their hands on the bonus as soon as possible...

When Dr. Cole heard her reply, his heart bloomed with joy as he secretly praised Talia once again. He cleared his throat and said, "On this matter… your only choice is to start your research again from scratch."

"If we redo the research, we need more funds. The research funds given by the company are limited. We won’t have sufficient funds to redo the research. Dr. Cole, I have to trouble you on this matter. Also, please conduct a thorough investigation and find out who did this."
