Female Novel
Chapter 729 Sincere Cooperation
"Are you… a private researcher?" Abigail asked softly. If that was the case, she would know herboundaries and leave this place before things got messy.
"No, I'm not. So, usually, just do those things to ensure your safety as well as ours." Martin smiledbitterly. He was helpless now; otherwise, he wouldn't have only written letters to Alice.
Abigail nodded. "I understand. I will do my job well. Will you be able to return in the future?"
Martin sighed. "If I can research what they want, I should be able to go back, but it's highlyuncertain. I just hope my child can recover and go back with me."
Abigail turned to Andrew, who seemed to be very indifferent in this regard.
He almost had no emotions toward normal people. No matter how many times Martin talked aboutthese sad things, he would just entertain himself—watching dramas, reading books, or playingsome games—and was never affected by them.
Could it be that his physical condition has also affected his emotions? Abigail wondered and found itvery strange.
After finishing supper, she supervised Andrew as he washed up and went to bed. When she cameout of his room, she saw that Martin was still awake and comparing data.
While heading toward her room, she said, "Mr. Colleen, you should rest early. Your health is yourmost valuable asset."
Martin heard her words and looked up at her. "Come here, and let's talk."
Abigail thought to herself, These two are really… One is more skilled at manipulating people thanthe other. All I want now is to go back to my room and lie down. It feels like I can't finish the daily
chores, and I'm exhausted.
Reluctantly, she trudged over and sat next to him. "Mr. Colleen, I'm tired as well."
"I know, but I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you," Martin said softly.
Hearing that he had deliberately softened his voice, Abigail held back her complaints and said, "Goahead."
"You've noticed Andrew's condition. Not only is he physically slow and unable to move his legs, buthe also has almost no emotions. It's a mistake I made when he was a child, and I've always feltguilty about it. His mother left me because of this and abandoned him," Martin started, putting downthe documents in his hand.
Abigail whispered, "I'm sorry to hear that."
"I was researching a drug but forgot to take it with me. He thought it looked good and assumed itwas a tasty drink, so he drank it. Now, when I think about it, your friend left from an emotionalbreakdown caused by drugs, and the drug I was researching back then caused emotionalnumbness and physical stiffness. Isn't it ironic?" Martin said as he handed the documents to her.
"Sorry, but I can't understand this," Abigail apologized.
What he wrote was completely different from Alice's traditional medicine, which she could search onher phone for a general idea, but this was data!novelbin
Martin apologized and took back the documents. "In short, his emotions are dull, and his bodybecomes more rigid due to the dullness of his emotions. As you know, all his organs will eventuallyfail, and he will die. The prescription you brought with you is perfect. I have tried many methods, butthey didn't work."
"Can this prescription cure him?" Abigail was somewhat surprised because he had already told hera few days ago that this prescription could not cure Larry and could only temporarily restrain hisproblem.
Alice developed this prescription mainly for Andrew, hoping to exchange it for a treatment methodfor Larry, and Abigail was truly moved by Alice's actions. Unfortunately, she was currently away andcouldn't go back to mourn her.
"It is possible, but it will take a considerable amount of time. I often worry if I can truly assist him inhis recovery as I'm getting on in years," Martin said.
He and Alice were both nearly eighty years old. However, the treatment with traditional medicinewas quite lengthy.
"As people age, they become more fearful of accidents. I have told Andrew, but he doesn'tcomprehend it, so I can only confide in you. If I have an accident one day, please take care of himfor me," he pleaded, holding Abigail's hand.
Feeling a bit uneasy, Abigail withdrew her hand with a smile. "Mr. Colleen, if your method canresolve Larry's issue within six months, I will certainly take excellent care of Andrew and treat himas my family."
Martin looked at her, trying to discern the sincerity behind her words, and she continued, "Histreatment is not a problem as long as you instruct me on what to do. I have invested a significantamount of money and utilized numerous connections to assist him on the condition that you aid mein curing Larry. To be completely honest with you, Larry's genes are important, and I must uncoverthe truth behind it."
Abigail earnestly gazed at Martin. In a collaboration, sincerity was crucial. She hoped to touchMartin's heart with her sincerity and inspire him to assist her genuinely.
