Chapter 2548
The researcher smiled awkwardly and explained, "Dr. Craw, I didn't look at your analysis on purpose. Iwas bringing it to your seat and I accidentally..."
He paused for a second and assured her, "Don't worry, I won’t mention anything to anyone."
After all, before the initiation of every research project, the company would have to review the study’stheoretical support. If he wanted to keep his job, he had to do what Luca said.
He just thought that it was a little strange. The data he saw in her analysis did not seem like anyordinary virus.
‘Luca's research is not on ordinary viruses?’
The company may not approve the project if it were too niche. The profits may be high, but theinvestments would be excessive as there would not be much existing research and data on the topic.
The researcher was worried that Luca's efforts would be in vain.
The other researchers looked at each other and were not sure what to say. Luca sat there and wasfocused on her data set.
After a while, Luca left with the documents.
The researcher who asked the question just now breathed a sigh of relief. "Based on Dr. Craw's tone, Ithought I was going to be fired."
"You just took a glance. It's not that serious. Dr. Craw isn’t that kind of person." Another researchercomforted him.
"Even so, if Dr. Craw's next project is related to this sample, it's likely an unsought-after disease." Theresearcher sighed. "Many companies won’t spend their money to support drug research for unpopulardiseases as it takes time and a lot of money. The company won’t go for it if she really proposes it. Bythen, we’ll have more time to do nothing.”
"Yeah, the experimental environment here and abroad is different. Dr. Craw may get support if shewent for this topic abroad, but here in A City..." Another researcher shook his head. They had been indoubt when they heard about one of the data sets.
"I think it’s fine if it’ll take more time. If our research is completed before hers, we can make it a groupproject."
The researcher who had been looking at some documents said out of the blue.
"That's true, but everyone has no clue."
"We're looking at past research now? Don't overthink it. Anyway, whether or not Dr. Craw's project ishappening, we need to have full attention on our projects."
"You seem close to Mr. Link. Why don't you ask him? He works closely with Dr. Craw and might knowsomething," The researcher who asked Luca the question earlier said.
"Yeah, can you help us ask?" Another researcher urged him.
Rhett's voice came from the door as soon as he said that. "What do you want to ask me?"
The laboratory was suddenly quiet.
"Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?" Rhett smiled and looked at his colleagues. They were usuallychatty but seemed extra quiet at that moment.
All of them looked at him with surprised expressions, so he asked, "Is there something on my face?"
"No, no." The researcher who just spoke earlier hurriedly shook his head.
"Were you guys talking about me? What do you want to ask?" Rhett asked. He heard them mention‘Mr. Link' before he even got to the door.
He knew that their conversation must have something to do with him.
"Oh." The researcher looked at another researcher who was closer to Rhett, but the other party wasfocused on his documents and did not pay any attention to him.
He had no choice but to say, "We want to ask you if you know what drug Dr. Craw is going to study inher next research project?"
"I don't. Dr. Craw hasn't mentioned anything yet. If she has set a direction, she'll let us get started onthe next steps. Don't worry." Rhett was a little curious about their question. ‘The last project just endednot too long ago. But they're not making use of the opportunity to run their own research and arecurious about Luca's research?'
"That makes sense." The researcher smiled awkwardly and let the topic pass.
Luca was sitting in the office and staring at the sample data in a daze.
This data was more precise. She wondered if she could formulate an antidote if she based it on thisdata.
Luca felt that she had to draw a tube of her blood for further verification.
She would not dare to consume a sample of the antidote without a second thought even if it wasdeveloped.
If it succeeded, all was fine, but she may die if it failed.
She may get lucky and would not die, but Abel would also find out that she was secretly researchingthe antidote. She could not afford to act rashly.
She had drunk the poison, so her blood should have the same toxin. She could use her blood to doexperiments on mice. If it was successful, it would prove that the antidote she prepared was effective.
At that time, they would not have to rely on the antidote issued by Abel to live.
Luca decided to take action immediately.
She returned to the lab, grabbed two clean needles, and went back to her office.
Luca quickly drew blood for herself after she locked the door. She had not done it for too long, so shestabbed the wrong spot.
Luca poked until there were bruises across her skin for a tube of blood.
After the blood was drawn, she put the sample in the freezer. She looked at her bruised skin andsighed.
These bruises would likely hurt for several hours. Fortunately, she could cover them with long-sleevedclothes so that no one could see them.
After she was done, it was almost time to get off work.
Luca thought of what she had agreed with Amur and told Aunt Neile that she would not be back at thevilla for dinner that night. After she was done processing the documents on the desk, she clocked outand got off work.
When she was in the elevator, Luca texted Luke to tell him that Amur was on a business trip to A Cityand she was going to have dinner with him.
Soon enough, Luke replied: [Okay.]
He did not ask where she was dining or said anything else. Luke respected her decision and expressedhis trust in her.
Luca smiled lightly and asked Warren to stop near the building entrance. She wanted to talk to securityand did not plan to go to the underground parking lot.
The elevator stopped on the first floor. Luca walked out and went to the security guard. "Hello."
"Dr. Craw, are you off work? Look at that car. It hasn't moved since lunch. I noticed people getting downfrom the driver and the front passenger seat earlier. They're likely out shopping. I'm sure they'll be backsoon. Nothing to worry about." The security guard updated her with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I see. Thank you." Luca thanked the security guard and walked out the door.novelbin
Warren pulled up in the car and waited for her.
Luca looked at where Corolla had parked and saw that it was still there.
She got into the car and said, "Warren, I won't be heading to the villa."
"Okay, Dr. Craw. Where are you going?" Warren opened the navigation app.
Luca remembered what Amur said and told Warren the name of the supermarket near the apartment.
