Chapter 153 Had to Go

How can I drink tea with the mask on? It wasn’t that Melinda couldn’t drink, but it would be inconvenientto do so.

“We’re in the final stage of drug research so we have to test it every minute and observe it at all times.We’ll decline the offer and please thank Madam for her kind offer. Taylor declined the offer politely.

“Alright. Stephanie remained calm. In that case, Madam shall come up. After saying that, she turnedand

left.

Melinda felt a slight jolt in her heart as she sensed that something was amiss. She exchanged a glancewith Taylor, and both of them became more alert. It was clear that there was more to this invitation fortea than met the eye.

Soon, the butler brought the tea to the laboratory. “Dr. Cohen, Dr. Blackwood,” he greeted. Shortly after.Jennifer, who was fully covered up, entered the laboratory. She wore long white gloves and a hat thatexuded an aura reminiscent of an old witch.

“Dr. Cohen, Dr. Blackwood.” Jennifer approached them and greeted them with a remarkably calm tone.“I believe that curing me won’t happen overnight. It will require a considerable amount of time, perhapsseveral months or even half a year, and that would be the fastest estimate.”

Yes.” Taylor paused his work and looked up at her. “Dr. Blackwood has also mentioned that your righthand is solely being used for experimentation. I will be leaving soon, and Dr. Blackwood will stay withyou until you fully recover.”

After hearing that, it made Jennifer ponder, Does he intend to develop all the drugs before leaving?And then let this country girl take credit for it?

Knowing their intentions, Jennifer was determined not to let them succeed. “Dr. Cohen, I think you canleave now and leave Dr. Blackwood behind.”

Before they could contemplate, Jennifer continued, “Dr. Cohen has alwaysnovelxo.com fast updatebeen a busy person, and having both of you here is a waste of time for one of you. Besides, I believe itwould be more convenient for a woman to apply medicine to another woman, don’t you think so?”

Melinda thought that she had gained Jennifer’s trust, and her initial intention in calling Taylor here wasto earn that trust. Hearing that, Melinda said with a smile, I don’t see any problem.” Then she glancedat Taylor and added, “Dr. Cohen is constantly under scrutiny, with the need to develop new drugs everyquarter. If he stays here for too long. I’m afraid the media will catch wind of it.”

However, Taylor didn’t want to leave. He had promised Stanley yesterday morning to take good care ofher for these few days. “But…”

“You may go.” Melinda felt he would eventually need to leave.

At the same time, Jennifer’s expression softened as she looked at Taylor. “Dr. Cohen, I sincerelyappreciate your assistance these past few days.” She finished speaking and bowed deeply to him. Howcould Taylor

bear this?

Taylor quickly returned the bow. “It’s my pleasure since Stanley and I are friends. After all this, he felt itwould be inappropriate to stay any longer.

“I have arranged for tea to be brought up. I won’t disturb you any further,” Jennifer said. “Dr. Cohen,you can prepare to leave and discuss the handover of work with your mentor. As for yourcompensation,

Stanley will settle it upon his return. Or you can name your price. After saying that, she turned and left.while Stephanie followed suit.

Taylor refused to name a price, and he was ready to leave. “Just give me a call if anything happens.”

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

“I’m afraid something might go wrong”

“Alright. I understand.” Melinda thought that everything would proceed smoothly from now on as shewas confident that she had everything under control.

At 7.00PM, Stephanie knocked on the door of the research lab, and Melinda looked over at her uponhearing that. “Dr. Blackwood, Madam requests your presence downstairs for dinner, Stephanie said.Melinda, who was wearing a mask, was momentarily startled after hearing that. Meanwhile, in thebrightly lit dining room downstairs, Jennifer was sitting upright in a white chair as she exuded a chillyaura.
