Rachel got out of bed and opened the door.
The ser vant respectfully handed the package over. “It was placed in front of the door of the villa. The
butler saw your name on it and got someone to bring it in.”
Rachel took the package and weighed it quietly.
It was pretty light.
“Got it.” Rachel took the package and returned to her room.
She shook it from side to side, then cut open the package with a small knife.
Inside was a palm-sized wooden box.
She opened the box and saw a glass bottle containing a light blue liquid.
There was a pink card under the glass bottle, saying, “Ask someone to apply the potion to your body
and gave you a massage. It can ease your illness.”
The handwriting on the card was the same as that on the card attached to the bouquet of roses she
received in the office the other day.
It suggested that these two things came from the same person.
Rachel frowned lightly. She carefully took out the glass bottle and examined the liquid in it facing the
sun.
Other than the Johnson family, no one else knew about her illness.
She wondered how this person found out about it.
To cure her disease, the Johnson family had spent a lot of money over the years, but after so many
experiments, the experts hadn’t developed an efficient antidote yet. They could only use the special
medicine with mild side effects to ease her illness.
At this moment, a message suddenly popped up on her phone. [I will never hurt you.]
Rachel picked up her phone and texted back. [?]
After a while, the other party sent another message. [No matter what, I once gave you a ride. Miss
Grey has completely forgotten about me. Don’t you think you’re too heartless?]
Seeing this message, Ronnie’s face popped into Rachel’s mind.
“So, the flowers and the package were all delivered by Ronnie?
“But how did he know I was ill?
“How did he know that the potion could ease my illness?”
So many questions flooded Rachel’s mind. She seemed to figure something out, but it disappeared
when she tried to catch it.
She stared thoughtfully at the medicine bottle in her hand.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was David.
“What are you doing?” His deep, magnetic voice rang out on the other end of the line.
Rachel put the glass bottle back into the box and said casually, “I was locked in the room to recuperate.
I’m so bored.”
David said something in whispers, but Rachel did not hear it clearly.
A moment later, David’s deep voice sounded again. “Do you want to go with me?”
Hearing that, Rachel immediately perked up. She quickly got up and looked out of the window.
Unfortunately, she saw nothing more than the carefully trimmed flowers and trees in the yard. The man
she wanted to see was not there.
“You’re here?”
“I’m waiting for you outside.”
This simple sentence was especially tempting for Rachel.
After hanging up the phone, she changed her clothes and rushed out of her room.
Just as Rachel opened the door, she suddenly thought of something and returned. She picked up the
box and walked out again.
When Lucas saw her in such a hurry, he frowned slightly. “Are you going out?”
Rachel hurriedly pressed her fingers against her lips to gesture for him to keep quiet.
“Here you go.” She stuffed the box into Luc a s’s arms. “Let Mr. Bowes test the potion.”
Lucas opened the box with his fingers with distinct knuckles and looked thoughtfully at the light blue
liquid in the glass bottle. “Where did you get it?”
“Someone gave it to me.”
After saying that, Rachel left without looking back.
As soon as she walked out of Johnson’s Mansion, Rachel immediately saw a black Rolls-Royce parked
by the roadside.
Eddie stood upright in front of the car. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Rachel walk over, he opened the car door respectfully. “Miss Grey, please get into the car.”
Rachel nodded slightly and bent down to slip into the car.
David closed the document and opened his arms to her.
Rachel immediately threw herself into his embrace.
David wrapped his arm around her slender waist and his palm accidentally touched the wound on her
back. Rachel could not help but frown.
“What’s wrong?” David asked worriedly.
Rachel smiled. “Nothing. I got a lower back strain by accident.”
The previous experiment had failed. Due to the side effects of the medicine, a massive bruises
appeared on her waist and abdomen.
“Where are we going?” she asked, deftly changing the topic.
David held her hand and said mysteriously, “You’ll know in a while.”
In the meanwhile, Lucas took the box to the research institute.
Coincidentally, he met Landon.
“Why are you here?” Landon asked.
He looked down and saw the box in (Luc a s’s) hands.
Lucas flicked the cigarette ash with his fingertips and said casually, “I have something to give the
expert. I’m going in.”
When he walked into the laboratory, Lucas handed the box to Professor Bowes.
“Test it to see if this thing is toxic and if it has any side effects.”
When Professor Ethan Bowes saw what was in the box, a light flashed across his sharp eyes. “Where
did
you get it?”
Seeing his serious look, Lucas could not help but frown. “You know about it?”
Hearing that, Ethan regained some calm.
He lowered his eyes and said stiffly, “No, I don’t. I just… just felt a little surprised.”
Sensing (Luc a s’s) sharp gaze on him, he compressed his lips and continued, “You know that the
machines here are worth a lot of money. I’m so busy every day. I don’t have time to waste on such
trifles.”
“Cut the (c r a p)! Just do what I tell you to do,” Lucas said coldly, pulled a chair over, and sat down.
Professor Bowes looked at him for quite a while before he took the box from him and began working on
the test.
With the detailed analysis of every ingredient in the potion coming out one by one, Professor Bowes’
expression became more and more solemn. After a while, his back was soaked in sweat. No one could
tell if it was because he was too nervous or something else.
“How is it?” Seeing him stand where he was in a daze, Lucas stood up and walked over.
Professor Bowes suddenly came back to his senses and looked up at Lucas, saying calmly, “The
potion can suppress Miss Grey’s disease effectively without any side effects.”
When he heard that, (Lu ca s’s ) face lit up. “Are you serious?”
Professor Bowes nodded. He flipped through the data reports in his hand and looked up at Lucas
thoughtfully, pretending to say in a casual manner, “If you had taken it out earlier, Miss Grey wouldn’t
have been in danger a few days ago, and the Johnson family wouldn’t have to spend so much money
every year.”
“How long does the effect last?” Lucas asked.
Professor Bowes looked up at him, saying, “One year.”
“Only one year?”
“One year
is not bad.” Professor Bowes threw the folder in his hand on the table. “Think about it. Miss Grey had to
take the special medicine every six months before. Moreover, those special medicines had certain side
effects.”
“Can you produce the same thing according to the ingredients in the potion?”
