novelNina Took M.C
| ← Ch.224 | Ch.226 → |
Following Albert to the largest laboratory in the complex, Nina kept vigilant all the way. She would not put it past him to play a trick on her now that she had agreed to speak to him privately.
But no matter how careful she was, she still found herself losing consciousness and falling into Albert's arms.
"Dr. Wendy, use the drug on her." He set her on the lab bed gently.
Wendy frowned and asked, "Are you sure you want to try the new drug on a human right away? We still don't know how M. C. works. We don't know its potential side effects. If we do human trials now, I'm afraid something bad and unfixable will happen."
"We have no time, " Albert snapped. He asked Ford to bring Kristina's body here, accidentally alerting Noah. He was sure that Noah would walk through the front door any second now.
He had to test the new drug on Nina before Noah showed up, and then he would take Kristina's body abroad.
Wendy did not understand why Albert was in such a hurry, but thinking that her life's work was about to be introduced to the world, she itched to test it."Very well. It's more intuitive to use human beings in drug trials than animals.
Hurry up. Let's get to work." Wendy ordered her staff to prepare the subject and start the trial.
Bulky machines were rolled in around Nina, and Wendy and h there when he saw Kristina's dead body.
When Noah saw Nina and John come in, he stood up and told Albert, "I hope you can keep your word. Let them go, and I'll let you have Kristina's body. Just please give her a proper burial. I don't want my aunt to be stored in an ice box.
Even if you made the best ice coffin in the world for her, it wouldn't bring her back. She'd still be dead."
Hearing Noah's words, the smile on Albert's face receded. Sadness flashed through his eyes. He simply nodded and agreed, "You have my word."
When Nina heard that Noah was going to let Albert go with Kristina's body, anger flared in her chest. She marched toward Noah and confronted him.
"What are you doing, Noah? Albert murdered Kristina. You can't let him go. I won't let you."
As soon as Nina finished her words, Albert averted his gaze. He said nothing.
The room fell into utter and complete silence.
After a while, Noah said in a hoarse voice, "Albert didn't kill Aunt Kristina. I was able to confirm that she committed suicide."
"What?" Disbelief twisted Nina's features. The first thing that came into her mind was that Albert had brainwashed Noah into thinking that he had nothing to do with Kristina's death.
But even Albert looked up in surprise."What did you just say? Kristina killed herself?"
