Female Novel
Chapter 723 Who Is His Father
However, Abigail wasn't sure how Alice felt about Martin.
When they arrived at John's biology lab, Abigail and Simond got out of the car together.
Kevin was the last to get out of the car, and he looked at the lab with a serious expression. "Abigail,why did you want to meet someone from this lab?"
"Because there's something I want to figure out," Abigail replied, and she walked towards theentrance of the lab with Simond.
The independent lab was located in a relatively remote area. The white building looked cold anddevoid of any human touch, and it was surrounded by iron fences, making the interior of the labresemble a wild beast trapped in a cage.
Simond stopped in front of the iron gate and pressed the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened, and two people holding AK rifles walked out.
Simond stepped forward and said, "We had an appointment yesterday. Ms. Quinn is looking for Mr.Martin."
One of them looked at the group warily while the other took out a walkie-talkie and said a fewwords. After receiving confirmation on the other end, they stepped aside.
"Only she is allowed to go in." The person with the walkie-talkie said to Simond in Aktani.
Hearing that, Simond looked at Abigail with concern in his eyes. No matter what relationship Alicehad with Martin in the past, it had been a few years since then, and even the deepest feelings wouldhave faded away.
"Alright," Abigail immediately agreed without a hint of hesitation.
"Abigail... How much do you know about this place? Are you sure you want to go in alone?" Kevinworriedly held onto her.
"This is a proper establishment. Don't worry," She replied before walking in.
As the door closed, Kevin became anxious. He looked at Simond and asked, "Are you sure they'rereliable?"
Simond leaned against the door, looking at Abigail's figure getting farther away behind the ironmesh. His brows furrowed, and he said, "I don't know, but Martin is the person she's been lookingfor."
Kevin licked his lips and took out his phone to message Sean.
"What are you doing?" Simond snatched his phone, his gaze icy. "Messaging Sean? Didn't Abigailtell you that her situation is confidential for now?"
"Oh, I forgot. I was too anxious," Kevin said, reaching out to snatch his phone from him.
Simond handed the phone back to him and warned, "If you have any questions, ask her to clarifythings for you. If you ruin my plan, I'll leave you here for the dogs!"
"Oh, how scary," Kevin said, putting his phone back in his pocket.

Abigail entered the interior of the research room and discovered that the first floor was actually aliving area, which meant that the drug research was probably on the second floor.
Just then, a man with graying hair walked out. Despite his age, he still had a spirited demeanor, andhis gaze was sharp.
Abigail guessed that he must be Martin and called out, "Mr. Colleen?"
"Yes, please sit. You can speak in Corynthean," Martin said, walking over to take a seat on thecouch.
Seeing that he was still wearing their traditional clothing, Abigail felt somewhat relieved. His clothesindicated that he acknowledged her as a fellow countrywoman.
"I heard that Alice gave you a prescription. Can you show it to me?" Martin went straight to the pointwithout beating around the bush.
Abigail took out a photocopy of Alice's prescription from her bag and handed it to him.
After Martin accepted the copy, his face became serious as he read it, and he pondered theprescription for a long time without saying a word.
Abigail didn't dare to speak either, and she only quietly watched his expression change.
After a long silence, Martin slowly folded up the prescription. "She didn't say anything else?"
"No, but before she passed away, she instructed me to regularly browse through her bookshelf.However, when I went to retrieve the books from the bookshelf, there was only one book, and thisprescription was tucked inside that book," Abigail explained, taking out the book left by Alice fromher bag.
Martin reached out and took it from her hands.
The book had a blue cover. It was a traditional medicine book with a thread-bound spine, and thecorners of the pages were turned up, indicating that it had been frequently perused.
"What do you need from me?" Martin looked up at Abigail.
"I have a friend whose child has a genetic condition. We are unable to determine his genesaccurately; thus, we cannot ascertain his father's identity. However, knowing who his father is holdsgreat importance to me," Abigail stated, looking directly at him.
Ever since she first laid eyes on Martin, she had believed in him. Not for any other reason butbecause he had once been loved by Alice.
Martin gently caressed the book with his fingers. "In that case, it appears that you will have to bringthe child here and stay with us for an extended period of time."
"I can't stay here..."
"Ms. Quinn, I am not discussing this with you. I am telling you to go back and contemplate it on yourown," Martin said, standing up.
As he was about to turn away, Abigail sensed that someone was observing them.novelbin
Trusting her instincts, she glanced over, only to see a man sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the twoof them. The man had a very pale complexion, giving him an ill appearance.
"This is my son, Andrew. He suffers from a peculiar illness," Martin explained to Abigail.
She silently nodded at Andrew and turned away.
As she exited the laboratory, Abigail felt a heavy heart. Could Martin truly cure Larry? However,Alice had instructed her to find Martin, so it must be alright. Now the question was, how would she
inform Sean about this?
"What did he say?" Simond immediately approached her as they walked out of the iron gate.
Abigail looked at him. "Let's discuss it later."
She had no intention of informing Kevin, and she also needed to persuade Kevin before she couldreturn and look for Sean.
