Chapter 91
Diana’s pov
Formula? Make a killing?
I stood outside the door and suddenly felt cold all over.
Who was William on the phone with? What did ‘make a killing‘ mean?
Was he…going to use the antidote to make money?
“Healer? Why are you here?”
Before I could think it through, a voice suddenly came from my side.
It was a passing researcher.
“I…”
was about to say something when the door to the fire escape was pushed open and William walked out.
“I have something to say to Healer. You can go work,” William said to the researcher.
After the researcher left, William looked at me with a loving smile on his face and said, “Diana, are you here to find me?”
“Ah? Ah…” I forced myself to calm down, “I’m here to take the sample.”
William raised his right hand and smiled, “I was too careless.”
He returned the sample to me and said gently, “Here.”
William had a calm expression and a familiar smile on his face.
However, I felt a stone weighing down on my heart, so heavy that I couldn’t even breathe.
“Is there anything else?” William asked me.
I opened my mouth and wanted to ask him what the phone call meant.
But in the end, I just shook my head.
“No… I’ll go back first. Uncle Reed, goodbye.” I smiled slightly and turned around to leave.
I was thinking maybe I misunderstood William.
William clearly knew I had heard his call just now, but he still remained calm and composed.
If he was really running a dark business, would he face me with such composure?
Definitely not.
Unless…he was essentially good at hiding and hypocritical.
William took care of me when I grew up, and I believed he was not that kind of person.
He also ran other businesses, perhaps what he said had nothing to do with the Enigma virus.
I comforted myself and returned to the laboratory.
“You got the sample?” Moss asked..
I handed the sample to Moss.
Moss took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Luckily, I thought…” Moss paused and frowned at me. “Diana, you look pale. What happened?”
“Just now… Nothing.” I shook my head.
I was not sure what William was talking about on the phone just now. Before that, it was better not to intensify Moss’s suspicion of William.
Moss still frowned.
“But you really don’t look good,” Moss said.
“Maybe because I didn’t rest well,” I explained casually.
I didn’t lie.
During my time in Blood Shadow Pack, I maintained a high level of vigilance every day and could only sleep for two to three hours.
On the evening after returning, I received Nathan and Avia’s engagement invitation, and I didn’t sleep for a whole night.
Setting aside the doubts William brought me, I was indeed very tired.
“You should take a nap,” Moss said.
“I’m fine,” I pretended to smile lightly.
With my current mental turmoil, even if I felt like sleeping, I probably wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. It was better to stay in the laboratory and work.
At 9 pm, after changing into my usual clothes, I came out of the laboratory and returned to my temporary residence in the hospital.
Because my mind was occupied with too many things, I had no intention of sleeping.
After smoking a cigarette on the balcony, I dialed the phone number of an old friend.
He was a private detective.
“It’s me, Diana. I want you to help me investigate someone. His name is…” I paused and said, “His name is William Reed. I need to know what business he runs, and whether he has something to do with Gummy Skull.”
After hanging up the phone, I thought I would be much more relaxed.
But not really.
My mood became even heavier.
Doubting William was like doubting my father.
No one could easily accept that their father was a jerk.
I took out another cigarette and was about to light it when a deep voice rang from
my side
my side.
“I didn’t expect you to doubt William.”
I was taken aback and turned my head.
On the adjacent balcony, I saw Nathan wearing a home uniform.
“I vaguely remember that William helped you become the director of this hospital. I thought he was an important person for you.”
I frowned and stared at Nathan.
“Are you eavesdropping?”
“You wronged me. How could I be considered eavesdropping while standing on my balcony?”
Nathan shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent.
I rolled my eyes at him and turned around to go back to the room.
To my surprise, Nathan shamelessly climbed over the railing and jumped onto my balcony.
I widened my eyes.
“Who allowed you to jump over? You jump back!” I ordered.
Nathan sneered, “If I remember correctly, last time you jumped onto my balcony without my permission. We are even now.
I was speechless.
A few seconds later, I sighed and asked, “What exactly do you want to do?”
“It’s nothing.” Nathan held his arms and leaned against the railing. “I just wanted to know what happened between William and you. I’m curious. Why do you suddenly suspect him?”
“It has nothing to do with you, right? You…”
“Diana, I remember you promised me I could participate in the investigation into Gummy Skull.”
I smiled sarcastically.
“I thought this agreement had ended when you thought I sent people to rape Avia and threw me in the rain.”
“No,” Nathan said sternly, “I didn’t say it’s over. And you can’t end it unilaterally. Besides…”
Nathan said, “If I got it right, we’re going to The Enhancement this Saturday to get the second batch of drugs. Are you going alone?”
“Why not?”
“If Jason asks where your husband is, how do you plan to answer?”
“Died,” I answered sharply.
Nathan’s face darkened.
“Diana, you’re cruel enough,” he gritted his teeth.
“Why not?”
“If Jason asks where your husband is, how do you plan to answer?”
“Died,” I answered sharply.
Nathan’s face darkened.
“Diana, you’re cruel enough,” he gritted his teeth.
“Is it the first day you knew me?” I asked, “After all, in your opinion, I am a suspect who hurt your beloved Avia, right? Oh, speaking of Avia, I haven’t congratulated you yet. Wish you and Avia a happy engagement. I will definitely attend your
engagement banquet.”
I thought that according to Nathan’s personality, he would continue to argue with
- me.
But when I mentioned the engagement banquet, he fell silent.
Even his expression seemed a bit guilty.
At one moment, I felt like he was a husband who had been caught cheating by his wife.
“Let’s get down to business,” Nathan whispered after a brief silence.
I suddenly withdrew my thoughts.
I was really crazy. What was I thinking?
Nathan and Avia were engaged. He couldn’t be happier. How could he feel guilty?
I must have misread it.
I cleared my throat and said, “I don’t want to talk about other things either.” “So, why do you suddenly suspect William?”
I took a deep breath and told Nathan about what happened in the laboratory today, including the suspicious phone call.
After pondering for a moment, Nathan said, “You think the formula William mentioned is the antidote for the Enigma virus, and he wants to sell them to those patients for profit?”
“It’s just my guess,” I said.
“But even so, it can only prove that he wants to do the business of antidote. Does it have anything to do with Gummy Skull?”
“Didn’t you think about it?” I sighed, “The prerequisite for making a profit must be a lot of customers. Where do you think these customers come from?”
Nathan was taken aback.
“You think William is doing Gummy Skull’s business at the same time?”
“Doubt, it’s just my doubt,” I repeated, pinching my brows. “But I’m more inclined to believe I’m thinking too much. Because I don’t think William is that kind of person.”
“Diana, you don’t want to prove his guilt, but want to to prove his innocence, right?” Nathan asked.
person.”
“Diana, you don’t want to prove his guilt, but want to to prove his innocence, right?” Nathan asked.
I silently clenched my fist.
“Yes…”
After a while, Nathan said in a deep voice, “I will go to The Enchantment with you this Saturday. I will prepare the clothes, wigs, and other things. Perhaps we will know something different this time.”
“I said, I’m going alone.”
“When will we go?”
“Can’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“Two o’clock in the afternoon. We can have lunch by the way.”
“Nathan!”
Nathan stretched lazily and yawned, saying, “I’m tired. I’m going back to sleep. Oh, by the way…”
Nathan raised his eyebrows and glanced at me. “How was your injury?”
I gasped for breath and instinctively grabbed my neck. After touching my turtleneck, I breathed a sigh of relief.
“Almost, almost recovered,” I said.
Nathan gave me a meaningful glance, climbed over the railing, and returned to his
own room.
Soon, Saturday has arrived.
After lunch, I was about to go find Nathan when my phone suddenly rang.
Surprisingly, it was Avia.
I pressed the button in frustration, and Avia’s excited and proud voice came from my phone.
“Diana, Nathan and I are selecting the items for our engagement.”
“So what? What does it have to do with me?” I asked.
“I think you have been married once before. You must be more familiar with what drinks, flowers, cakes we should choose. I want you to help me take a look. You won’t refuse, will you?”
