After Carl examined him, Rex doesn’t mention anything about recovery when he returns home. Lily is
afraid that he won’t get over this. The next morning, she asks him to take Adair to kindergarten.
The psychological counseling works on Adair, and he has almost let go of the kidnapping. It is rare for
his parents to take him to school together, so he is thrilled. Actually, he has been excited since
breakfast.
Seeing how happy his son is, Rex feels a little guilty. He gently caresses the boy’s furry little head with
his big palm, thinking that when he recovers, he will drive his son to and from school more often.
“How are you getting along with the other kids in kindergarten?” The man asks softly, greatly patient.
Adair turns his head from the window and looks at his father. Blinking, he answers, “Fine. They enjoy
playing with me!”
“Then have you made any friends?”
“Yes!” Speaking of friends, Adair’s eyes glow. He shows off his little companions to Rex endlessly.
Coupled with his adorable voice with a trace of nasal sound, Rex’s heart melts.
His son’s constant chatter drives away most of Rex’s vexation. “Listen to the teacher. If there’s
anything, tell mom and dad.”
“Dad, can I invite my friends over?” Back in England, schools used to hold parties, and family
gatherings occur almost every week.
While domestic education focuses more on individuals, especially such high-end private schools. Every
parent is somebody, and the schools show respect for them. Naturally, parties are generally out of the
picture.
However, Adair enjoys making friends. Now that he finally has them, he naturally wants to have fine
with them.
However....
Lily has been listening to their conversation, but she suddenly cuts them off, “You can when you have
more free time. You guys are not that close now.”
Adair is obedient and immediately nods, “Alright.”
Rex glances at the little woman, despite himself. She is probably worrying about him. She doesn’t know
when he will get sick again, so it is best not to have visitors.
They drive their boy to kindergarten smoothly. The man gets off the car and walks to the teacher, telling
her something. He rarely comes, so the teacher directly agrees.
Watching Adair following his teacher towards the school gate, Rex feels a little reluctant, while Lily is
used to this. She reaches out to hold his arm and says, “Stop looking. Let’s go.”
“Fine.” As he speaks, his sight still follows the boy until he enters the school building.
They get back into the car. Lily instructs the driver, “The villa, please.”
After the morning rush hour, there isn’t much traffic on the road. The car drives into the front yard of the
villa. The driver gets off the car and opens the door for Lily. Before getting off, Rex suddenly says, “You
go back first. I am going to find Orson to take care of some things.”
Orson?
Lily is slightly surprised. “Is it business?”
She remembers that five years ago, Rex entrusted the company to Orson, so now he rarely deals with
business.
“Yes, we need to confirm the shareholder changes and the shares.” He looks and sounds serious,
convincing.
Lily’s fingers on the door handle are forming into a fist. She doesn’t want him to go. “Do you have to
go?”
“Yes, I must be there.”
Hearing his firm answer, Lily realizes that she can’t stop him, so she has to compromise, “Be careful
and call me if you need anything.”
She wants to hear the news from him, rather than a secretary or an assistant.
“Alright, I understand.”
Lily frowns and steps out of the car. She stands not far away and watches the driver restart the car.
Rex lowers the window and casts a glance at her. For some reason, this glance makes her panic, as if
something is going to happen.
Rex still leaves.
Lily turns around and looks at the villa. Breezes blow past her, but she feels gloomy and annoyed.
…
After the car leaves the villa, Rex tells the driver to head to the company parking garage and instructs
him not to tell anyone about what is going to happen. Then, he gets into another car and drives to the
address Lee sent him.
Half an hour later, the car is parked under an inconspicuous white building behind a university. He
stabilizes the car and walks to the door. Taking a look at the number on the text message, he is sure it
is the right place and knocks on the door.
Half a minute later, someone pushes open the door. It is a middle-aged man wearing a white gown.
“Hello, may I ask who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Lee,” Rex said calmly.
The other party understands. Lee told him yesterday that if someone was to come looking for him
today, he could bring him in directly.
Then man opens the door wider and makes room sideways. “Mr. Gabbot, please come in.”
Rex follows him in. The room looks completely different from what is outside. It seems like a common
three-story white building. However, it is something else on the inside.
On both sides of the long corridor, every inch of the space is well utilized. On the tightly shut doors are
words written both in Chinese and English. Laboratory, freezer, anatomy room, chemical room….
Although it is not spacious, it has everything as a standard research building.
There are only three floors, but elevators are equipped inside every room. Rex and the staff get to the
third floor taking the elevator. They arrive at Lee’s office at the end of the corridor.
“Lee, Mr. Gabbot is here.”
“Come in.”
The door is pushed open. In the huge and light office, Lee is sitting behind a desk wearing a pair of
metallic glasses and the same white coat. When he sees Rex, he immediately stands up and says,
“Long time no see.”
Rex walks over and shakes hands with him. “Long time no see.”
“Didn’t you say you would come over tonight?” Lee looks at him with a smile, as if Rex is an old friend.
“I’m afraid my night isn’t free.” Rex doesn’t enjoy small talks, asking Lee anxiously, “When will the
inspection start?”
Lee responds with a smile. He understands Rex’s anxiety and winks at the staff behind Rex. He walks
from behind his desk and says, “I know you’re vexed. It had been ready before you came. Let’s go. We
can do it now.”
Rex nods. He turns around and follows him into an examination room connected to the office. It is
quiet. After the door is closed, no noise can be heard, only the beeps from the instruments.
After putting on a special suit, Rex lies flat on his back in various instruments, feeling the different lights
on him. The equipment is advanced, not losing to Karl’s Hospital. The examination ends quickly, taking
less than an hour.
The results are shown on the big screen and the computer screen. Lee looks at the indicators and his
expression became solemn.
Rex’s heart sank, and he has a premonition. He walks over to take a look at the numbers, but fails to
understand anything. “How is it?” he asks.
