Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 892: Good cooperation, Mr Hector
"Pierce, this partnership is very important to us, nothing can go wrong! Otherwise, I will hold you accountable!"
When the caller finished, he simply hung up.
At this point, a cold sweat broke out on Pierce's back.
He didn't want to mess this up any more than anyone else, otherwise what he had to face when he returned could be a more painful ordeal than death.
Pierce then went to the bathroom, washed his face with water and straightened his grooming before returning to his table.
Pierce had adjusted himself, pulled back his chair and sat down, saying, "Mr Hector, in order for us to work better together, I can tell you about the use of our herbs."
Hector looked at him wistfully and gave a slight nod, gesturing for him to continue.
Pierce cleared his throat, "The reason for acquiring this batch of herbs is that our group has been developing a viral bacterium.
When used well, it can help boost one's immune system and even have the effect of transforming cells. As you know with many difficult diseases nowadays, the first thing that germs attack is the person's own immune system.
We have developed this germ which happens to be the nemesis of some toxic bacteria, it changes the action of the toxic bacteria in the body to achieve the effect we are looking for, which requires some ingredients of toxic herbs. But what we have added is just a little bit, it is only at the research stage at the moment and will definitely require large quantities of herbs. Once developed successfully, this will be a great saviour for a number of ailments and will certainly benefit mankind.
So Mr Hector has a lot of peace of mind about where the herbs are going."
At these words, Hector is silent for a moment, his thumb dropping to the mouth of his glass and rubbing it slowly, weighing up whether Pierce's words are true or not.
In a moment, he concluded that the study of viral bacteria was true, and the rest of what was said for the benefit of mankind was a lie.
Hector restrained his suspicions and smiled lightly, "It seems that your group is bent on benefiting humanity."
Pierce laughed, "Mr Hector is too kind, and we are just trying to do what we can to help as many patients as possible. After all, it's so painful to be afflicted by illness."
He said, scowling at Hector's wide-eyed expression, a little unsure of himself.
Worried that Hector might still reject him.
He mused and added, "If Mr Hector has no objection, I can take you to our institute later and you will know if what I say is true or not."
When he heard "Institute", Hector's heart fluttered and, with little hesitation, he agreed, "Then it's a deal, and good luck with our collaboration."
Pierce smiled at his agreement and held out his hand, "Good cooperation, Mr Hector."
Meeting Pierce's somewhat disingenuous smile, Hector returned the grip and let go.
"I have business this afternoon, goodbye."
With those words, Hector picked up the cheque from the table and left the cafe.
Staring at Hector's departing back, Pierce's brow furrowed.
This man's identity is definitely not as simple as it seems, so it seems that we should keep a closer eye on him.
As he came out, Thomas, who had come with him, inquired in disbelief, "Prince, do we really have to supply such large quantities of poisonous herbs, what if they are used to harm people?" Thomas' words have been considered by Hector.
However, if they don't work with them this time, they won't have access to their institute, and then the germs on Eloise can't be removed.
So, he had to say yes.
Hector rubbed his aching brow and said, "We'll provide it, but we'll just end up destroying it so they can't use it."
The most important thing for him now is to get into the SA Group's research institute. Since the germ in Eloise's body contains the component of western aconite, it should have something to do with the SA Group. The structure of the germ, which even Almeida had a headache with, must also have been very complex for the SA Group to study.
The only way to truly solve the germ in Eloise's body is to infiltrate their lair and replace a way to bring out the research material.
Thomas nodded, "So where do we go now, back to the hotel?"
Glancing at the sky outside, Hector's mind wandered to Eloise and the children and said, "Buy a ticket home."
It was a bit uncomfortable to be away from Eloise and the children for so many days.
At that moment, a ring rang, and it was Edgar's phone, which Hector picked up.
Edgar opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Hector naturally knew why he was saying thank you and smiled, "You're welcome, you're Eloise's family, which means my family, and it's only right that I help you." There are very few people that Hector can call family.
Edgar froze for a moment as he heard Hector's words.
Quickly, he responded, "Yes, we are family, so Hector when are you done, how about we have dinner together?"
Hector raised a hand and pinched his brow, "No, I've booked a flight back for this afternoon."
"Also, say hello to my aunt and Eloise for me."
...
Outside the window the sky is sinking, twilight is falling, and the clock hand is pointing to eight o'clock.
Inside Rogers Villa, the family has just finished dinner and Hector's mother and Eloise are playing with Sweety and Solomon.
The doorbell rang at that moment and Eloise was a little puzzled as to who would be at the door this late at night when everyone in the family had gone home. Eloise got up and headed out, pulled open the door, didn't see anyone outside, walked out and looked around, and didn't see anyone in sight. "Eh? No one?"
Just as she mumbled something and turned to enter, a pair of hands suddenly encircled her waist and brought her into a wide, warm chest.
She had a moment of panic and was about to struggle when she felt the familiar scent that wrapped around her and knew who it was.
She turned around in surprise to see the handsome face she had longed for and could not resist tightening her arms around his strong, thin waist. "Why are you back all of a sudden and didn't tell me, I could have picked you up at the airport!"
Hearing the scolding in her words, Hector smiled and pinched her cheek, "I missed you so much, I just thought I'd get home soon, so I didn't get to tell you." Eloise couldn't help but blush as she took his hand in the door.
Sweety was having a good time when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the front door, and her eyes lit up when she inclined her head to look. Striding on short legs, he rushed straight towards Hector, "Daddy!"
Hector's mother smiled at the sight and asked Hector about his business trip, then went upstairs to her room, leaving the living room downstairs to the four of them.
Hector replied one by one, then, sitting on the sofa with Sweety in his arms, he said deliberately, "I remember if someone disobeyed me before. Daddy was going to punish." Sweety sniffed and wrapped her arms around Hector's neck, pouting, "Daddy, Sweety's not being disruptive, she's always listened to Mommy!"
Seeing her ingratiating look, Solomon couldn't help but break it down, "I wonder who spilled the soup on her dress on purpose."
