Diana’s pov
I was not sure how much Nathan had heard. Or would he doubt my identity from my colleague’s words?
“Healer, what’s wrong?” The female colleague looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Nothing,” I breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew my gaze.
Thank goodness, Nathan didn’t seem to notice what was happening here. He still lowered his head and looked absent–minded.
“Remember,” I looked at my colleague and reminded, “Next time talk about the antidote in our lab.”
As Healer, my identity couldn’t be exposed. And all researchers in the laboratory were aware of this.
My colleague finally realized. She was embarrassed and guilty, whispering, “Sorry, Healer, I forgot…”
“It’s okay,” I smiled at her. “The elevator is coming. Let’s go in.”
“Healer.”
Just as we were to take the elevator, Nathan suddenly stopped me.
In an instant, my heart almost rushed to my throat.
I managed to calm down and turned to look at Nathan.
He was walking towards me.
“Alpha Nathan, is there anything else?”
Nathan stood in front of me, staring straight at me, his eyes full of exploration.
“Did you return to the hospital yesterday?” He asked.
Cold sweat appeared in my hands.
Sure enough, he still heard it.
“Yes,” I smiled. “A patient needs a follow–up examination, so I left the hospital for a while.”
“She said you brought back the antidote.” Nathan looked at the female colleague.
“Diana handed it to me. I just brought it to the lab. Is there anything wrong?” I asked.
Nathan squinted his eyes and said, “You said there’s a patient who needs a follow–up examination. Who is that patient?”
I didn’t expect Nathan to be so cautious this time.
If I couldn’t come up with a reason, I even suspected he would take off my mask to see who I really was.
“It’s Henry’s younger brother,” I said calmly. “You know I treated Henry’s brother before.”
Nathan furrowed his brow, as if he didn’t believe my words.
I was afraid that staying longer would reveal even greater flaws, so I quickly said, “The elevator has arrived for a long time. Since you have nothing else to say, I’ll leave first.”
I gave my colleague a glance, and she immediately released the elevator button and entered the elevator at the fastest speed possible.
I followed closely behind.
However, just as I was about to step into the elevator, Nathan grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
My back hit his broad chest, and I could only watch the elevator door automatically close.
“Nathan, you
.”
My voice came to a sudden halt.
I thought Nathan must be crazy. He lowered his head and started sniffing my neck. The scorching breath sprayed onto my skin. In an instant, I felt goosebumps all over my body, with hairs standing on end.
“You smell like her,” Nathan murmured.
of me.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. Let go of
I wanted to break free from him, but his strength was too strong.
“I remember there was a wound left by Lewis on Diana’s neck,” Nathan said. “I’ll just take a look. And I’ll know whether you’re Diana”
Nathan pinched my chin with one hand and forced me to lift my head, while the other hand tried to tug at my collar.
Just then, a sharp voice rang out around me–
“Alpha Nathan!”
The next second, I felt another force grab me and pull me out of Nathan’s embrace It was Moss.
“What are you doing to Healer?”
“It’s none of your business,” Nathan shouted impatiently, “Get out of the way!” “It’s none of my business?” Moss sneered, “The entire lab relies on Healer. Her safety is naturally related to me.”
“I didn’t intend to hurt her. I just want to confirm one thing,” Nathan frowned and growled again, “Get out of the way!”
Nathan’s pupils were gradually deepening. I had no doubt that if Moss continued to stand here, he would emit Alpha aura.
“Moss,” I sighed and patted his arm, saying, “I’ll explain it to Alpha Nathan.”
I took a step forward and looked up at Nathan, “I know what you’re trying to confirm. Are you suspecting that Diana and I are the same person?”
Nathan looked at me in silence.
I untied my collar and exposed my smooth neck, which had no wounds on it. Nathan’s eyes widened, his expression filled with astonishment.
“Now, do you still think I’m her?”
“I
“As for the smell on me, I have explained that it was just a perfume. Diana and I are friends, but we are not the same person, Alpha Nathan. Don’t make such mistakes anymore.”
Nathan stood there dumbfounded.
I grabbed Moss’s wrist and walked away.
After going downstairs, Moss asked me, “Why did Nathan suddenly suspect your identity?”
“It’s not the first time that he doubted my identity.”
I didn’t tell Moss about that female colleague’s slip of tongue.
Moss had always been strict in handling things. If he found out, that colleague would definitely suffer.
“Are you here to find me?” I changed the topic.
Moss nodded and said, “William is here.”
“Uncle Reed? Where is he now?”
“The lab.”
When Moss and I entered the laboratory, William was talking about Enigma’s antidote with a researcher.
Seeing Moss and me, he gestured for the researcher to leave first.
“Diana, Moss has told me about you sneaking into Blood Shadow Pack alone. You’re being reckless.”
I touched my nose and said, “But I came back safely.”
“Fortunately, you returned safely. Do you know how worried I was when I first heard this news, and how scared I was afterwards?” William snorted coldly.
“I was wrong. Don’t be angry,” I apologized with a smile.
William sighed and his face softened. “Don’t do such dangerous things again, okay? Even if you have to, you must tell me so that I can send someone to protect you. Speaking of protection…what was Ryley doing? He didn’t even know about you entering Blood Shadow Gang. I should punish him hard!”
“No! Uncle Reed, I deliberately kept it from Ryley. It has nothing to do with him. If you want to blame, then blame me,” I said.
William sighed again, “How could I blame you? You’re my treasure. Forget it, I won’t punish him this time. You also have to remember, if you don’t want Ryley to be punished, do not hide anything from me, okay?”
William’s warning of concern made me feel guilty.
Not long ago, I just went to The Enchantment without telling him to investigate Gummy Skull.
Moreover, according to the time provided by the nurse, the next time to take the medication would be this Saturday.
Should I tell William about this?
“What’s wrong, Diana? What are you thinking?” William asked, his eyes full of worry. “Have you not been resting well lately? If you’re too tired, go rest first. You know, for me, your health is the most important.
I felt even more guilty and said, “Uncle Reed, there’s actually one thing I haven’t told you. I…”
“Diana,” Moss interrupted me, “Are you going to tell Mr. William about the results of our antidote research?”
“I…”
instinctively wanted to deny it, but Moss didn’t give me a chance.
“I’ll tell Mr. William about this. You can go take a sample of the antidote.”
I blinked my eyes and said, “Well, okay.”
I turned around and left.
William’s surprised voice came from behind, “You have made a sample of Enigma’s antidote?”
“Yes, but the specific efficacy is still being tested, so….
Moss’s voice gradually faded away, and I was filled with doubts. I didn’t understand why Moss stopped me from telling Reed that I was investigating Gummy Skull privately.
For William, Moss seemed to have been holding a defensive mentality.
What was going on between them?
After taking the sample, I handed it over to William.
William’s eyes were almost glowing, “Is this the antidote to Enigma virus?”
“It’s just a sample. Although it can inhibit the Enigma virus, we are not sure if there will be any sequelae, such as –”
“It’s not important.”
Before I could finish speaking, William interrupted excitedly.
I was stunned, “The sequelae…not important?”
William paused and said, “What I mean is, since you have developed a sample of the antidote, you will definitely find a way to prevent the sequelae. Everything is going in the right direction.”
William patted my shoulder and said, “Diana, you are my hope, the hope of all werewolves. I express my thanks to you on behalf of those who are being tormented by Enigma virus.”
William’s voice choked up. He even wanted to bow to me, and I helped him in time.
“Don’t do this, Uncle Reed. The success is not just because of me. The other researchers in the lab, you, and…Penny, all of you have put in a lot of effort,” I said. William nodded repeatedly.
“You reminded me,” he said, “I’m going to Penny’s grave to tell her this good news. I can’t wait anymore.”
William strode outside.
After William left, I turned to Moss and said, “Why did you stop me just now?”
“I should have told you before that I don’t fully trust William,” Moss said.
“I don’t understand. You just saw William’s attitude. He’s really a good person.”
“It’s easy to fake it.” Moss said. “Anyway, with William’s identity as a gang leader alone, I can’t completely trust him, let alone…”
Moss’s voice paused, his eyebrows furrowed, “Where is the sample?”
“The sample…” I blinked, “It seems to have been taken away by William.”
“We have only one bottle of sample now,” Moss said seriously.
“I… I’m chasing him.”
I quickly ran outside and headed for the elevator.
However, when I passed by the fire escape, I stopped.
Through the door, I heard William’s excited voice–
“Notify the factory to start working. With this formula, we can definitely make a killing!” f
