Slap Yourself
← Ch.229 | Ch.231 → |
Blue Mountain was huge, but Albert had posted guards at the roadways leading in and out of the area. Richard and Henry had to take extra precautions if they didn't want to be found out.
It would take at least twenty minutes for Richard and Henry to get to the abandoned factory.
So John and Nina had to stall for time.
John had always been calm. He paid no attention to Isabella. He just wanted to know what happened to Nina after Albert took her out of the storage room.
"What did you do with Nina?"
Isabella knew John would ask her this question and saw no need to hide it from him."Why, we used her as a guinea pig, of course."
"What do you mean?" Isabella's words shattered Nina's laid-back demeanor.
John pulled Nina into his arms to protect her. He looked at Isabella seriously and said, "I asked you a question."
"Do you want to know the details? What do I get in return? One shouldn't sell secrets cheaply." He should have known Isabella wouldn't give him a straight ght not be relevant.
Nina bit her lips, and the smile on her face quickly disappeared. She lowered her eyes, worried and blaming herself.
She didn't know what happened after she fainted. She didn't feel uncomfortable when she woke up. She just remembered that she had a very strange dream.
The dream was so strange that she still had a lingering fear when she thought about it.
The underground lab was so covert, with tight security. Not only were guards posted at regular intervals, the doors could only be unlocked by retina scan.
Needless to say, what Albert had spent a lot of money and energy on was not any ordinary medicine.
Knowing that they had experimented on her, Nina was afraid. She didn't want to die at such a young age.
But if John slapped himself, she'd feel the pain.
Nina thought she'd better pretend she knew nothing, so she wouldn't be afraid.
However, John wanted to know the truth.
"Fine. Two slaps for a secret, " John said calmly and firmly.
