"Okay."

Ella agreed, then waved his phone in front of her, "I'll make a call and come back to accompany you later."

Belle nodded.

After Ella left, the fist on her thigh clenched uncontrollably!

...

Medical office.

Because Xavier was not around, all the work was handed over to Dr. White.

Freya was worried that he would be too busy alone, so she went over to help when she had nothing to do.

Yolanda's condition had stabilized, and she had already left to recuperate at home two days ago. At the moment, the medical office was not busy, but Dr. White had to supervise Old Mu's condition, so he basically didn't stay in the medical office.

Dr. Luo's research is at a bottleneck, and drugs for treating organ failure have not been formally studied yet. In addition, with the recent research on the medicine brought back by Bradley, all research has come to a standstill.

"How about it, can we confirm if it's beast venom?" Freya looked at the report in her hand and asked in a serious tying.

Dr. Luo shook his head, "Currently, we can only confirm that it contains similar components to beast venom, but they are generally not the same, and we cannot determine if it is the same venom."

In the past few days, he has been researching this project, but surprisingly, many components cannot be extracted, which has shocked Dr. Luo deeply.

After Freya finished reading the report, her brows furrowed tightly.

The ingredients of this medicine actually contain various heavy metals such as mercury and lead.

"Even if it's not beast venom, it is still a toxic substance that can damage the nervous system."

To mix so many heavy metal elements in the medicine, along with many uncertain elements, ying cannot help but doubt whether this person really understands how to conduct research.

If they do not understand, then they are a fake researcher.

If they do, then they are definitely a genius!

"Just don't know where these drug solutions are used. If applied on the human body, it will undoubtedly cause major damage to the nervous system," Dr. Luo looked up at Freya, his gaze ultimately falling on the cage beside him.

Not only did Bradley send the drug solutions, but also several blood-sucking bats that were fed the solutions.

Their symptoms were different from those of being infected with the beastly venom. Although they exhibited similar aggressiveness and bloodshot eyes, they did not engage in self-harming behaviors.

These drug solutions, at most, could control the consciousness of the blood-sucking bats, but they did not possess the properties of the beastly venom.

"No matter where these drug solutions are used, the consequences would be unimaginable if they spread. For now, I'll trouble you to continue extracting the components of the drug solutions. As for the research on organ failure medications, I will come over to help when I have the time."

Bradley instructed her to stay indoors as much as possible. She was feeling anxious with nothing to do, so she had to keep herself busy.

"You are pregnant now, and researching is too mentally taFreyag. It's not suitable for Madam to worry. Moreover, Mr. Austin has repeatedly warned that Madam should not spend more than half an hour in the laboratory. Please go back and rest, Madam."

Upon hearing that Freya wanted to help, Dr. Luo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Bradley had warned him repeatedly that Madam was not allowed in the laboratory. If he found out that not only did Madam come but also wanted to help with drug research, he wouldn't be able to bear the blame.

Freya, upon hearing this, was filled with helplessness.

She was not allowed to go out, nor allowed to study, not allowed to do this or that, she felt like she was turning into a useless person.

Without causing trouble to Dr. Luo, Freya turned and left the laboratory, preparing to go to the office to meet Dr. White and inquire about the old master's condition.

Unexpectedly, as she was about to enter the office, she bumped into someone head-on.

Freya exclaimed in shock, quickly steadying herself against the wall.

The other person also groaned in pain, and when they saw that it was Freya, their eyes slightly changed.

However, it quickly returned to normal within an instant.

Dr. White lowered his gaze and apologized hurriedly, "It's my fault for not noticing Madam coming over, almost hitting you and hurting Miss Freya. Please forgive me, Madam."

"It's okay, it's my own fault for not watching where I was going, it's not your fault."

Freya touched her chest, looked up at Dr. White, and suddenly her pupils slightly narrowed.

She asked, "Dr. White, your face looks a bit pale, are you feeling unwell?"

Simon's face was somewhat flustered, even his body was trembling slightly, but he concealed it very well, and Freya did not notice.

"It's nothing, maybe just a bit fatigued lately, my body is a bit overwhelmed."

"Then you should rest well." Freya expressed her concern.

However, the more she looked, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Simon's face was very pale, devoid of any hint of color, not like he was sick, but... like he was injured!

Realizing that Freya was staring at him, Simon frowned deeply and quickly found an excuse to leave, "Thank you for your concern, madam, I have to go back to the old mansion, so I won't stay any longer."

"Wait, how is the old master doing now?" Freya stopped him.

Simon, who had just turned around, halted his steps, his pupils deepening, even his fist involuntarily clenched together.

He turned around, respectfully addressing Freya, "The old master's condition has been stable, madam, no need to worry too much."

Freya was about to ask something else when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

She picked it up and saw it was from Madeline.

She frowned and said to Simon, "I'll take this call, you go ahead and do your work."

After speaking, she turned and left the medical room.

Simon stood there for a long time, only returning to his office after Freya had truly left, locking the door behind him.

He entered the adjacent rest room, enduring the pain as he removed his white coat, revealing the wound on his back.

The impact with Freya had reopened the wound, staining the white gauze with fresh blood.

He removed the gauze, quickly applied medicine and re-bandaged the wound. After dressing neatly, he put the blood-stained cotton and gauze into a bag, taking them with him when he left.

...

Freya returned to the main hall of the building, sitting on the sofa to answer the phone.

"What do you mean, that old witch hasn't left yet?"

"Indeed, when I got home last night, she was sitting on the sofa, pretending to reconcile with me. Her attitude was so sincere that even I started to believe she had truly changed her ways. But you know what, just now, when Patrick was out, she immediately revealed her true colors."

At that moment, Madeline was lying in the room, talking to Freya on the phone, accusing Lina of her wrongdoings.

"She bribed the nanny to not cook for me, clearly trying to starve me. I really don't understand, what deep-seated vendetta does she have against me? Why is she so evil and wants to harm me?"

Upon hearing this, Freya hesitated for a moment and said, "Madeline, didn't Patrick tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"It's just that... your father Patrick had a complicated relationship with Lina when they were young. It's said that things got quite unpleasant, and Lina developed a grudge against your father. Perhaps it's because of your father that she doesn't like you."

After pondering for a while, Freya felt it was necessary to reveal this information.
