Chapter 274 Chapter 274 When Hory realized Nicolas had not only hung up on him but had also blocked his number , he was so furious that he hurled his phone to the ground.
The butler , startled , quickly picked it up and spoke in a low voice , Please dont be angry , sir .
Mr.
Sawyer is just being headstrong hell come to his series .
Once he calms down .
Im sure hell return and apologize .
Hell only cry when he sees the collin , Rory said coldly , his eyes gleaming with malice .
Keep a close watch on him .
I want to see if hes still so stubborn when his life is on the line As the days passed , Noelles endurance in the brainwave resonance tests is increased dramatically from 40 minutes at the start to a full hours under high voltage currents by the end of the week .
To the other researchers , this was nothing short of a miracle .
But that miracle came at a visible cost Noelles frame had grown noticeably thinner .
The baby fat that once softened her cheeks had disappeared , leaving her with sharp features and a gaunt , almost fragile beauty , After one of the tests concluded , Bennett rushed to her side , catching her just before she collapsed .
Noelle .
Bennett ? she murmured , leaning limply against him . She tried to smile and half joked , Youve gotten really good at catching me .
It was true .
At so ne point , Bennett had started showing up at just the right time always catching her before she hit the floor .
You still have the strength to joke ? Bennett muttered , exasperated .
He held her wrist gently so thin now it felt like there was nothing but skin and bone .
Bennett had always considered himself a bit of a madman when it came to science .
He wasnt one to shy away from sacrifice in the name of progress .
But even he had to admit watching Brandons methods made him uneasy Every time Noelle was subjected to the experiments , Bennett found himselfholding his breath , afraid that just one moment of weakness might break her completely .
And yet ... not once had she ever asked then to stop .
Not one complaint , not one plea .
It was terrifying , the way she endured it all so obedient it was almost inhuman .
Thats when it hit him .
The only reason Noelle could be this obedient was because she had been raised that way from the very beginning Conditioned to obey any command given by the lab .
If someone ordered her to die , shed probably go without asking why .
The thought made Bennetts chest tighten .
To think at the Andersons real daughter- who should have been adoped and cherished had been treated like a disposable tool for so Back when he first four out Nuelle had been switched at birth , Bennett didnt feel much .
One sister or another what did it matter ? net her , shed kept surprising him .
She was brilliant .
Fascinating .
And at first , he had viewed her as nothing more than Y now that that was being treated like that he couldnt take it .
Niete wat terse stupid , even but she was also light and cheerful .
Anyone else mightve turned bitter or broken under what sheil 2:25 PM Cr Chapter 271 And somehow , they were cruel enough to keep hurting her anyway .
Just as that thought hit him .
Brandon strolled into the om with his usual smile .
room Congratulations .
Noelle , he said warmly .
Youve passed every test .
Once we complete the Memory Read Write trial , youll never have to do this again .
is over ? Noelles eyes lit up . Really ? Ill be done for good once the final experiment is Brandon nodded .
Thats right .
Just the thought of never having to go through this again gave her a fresh burst of energy .
Beaming , she said , Then Ill give it everything Ive got .
Brandon .
I promise Ill pass on the first try .
Brandon smiled , those emerald green eyes glinting faintly .
I look forward to seeing what you can do .
Dont worry , I wont let you down ! For the first time in days , Noelles voice was full of spirit again .
She was determined if this was the end , shed push through it .
But standing beside her , Bennett wasnt smiling .
with suspicion .
His lips were pressed into a tight line , and his eyes drifted toward Brandon , cold and sharp Because deep down , he knew once the final test was complete , Brandon wouldnt need them anymore .
And whatever happened then ... probably wouldnt be good .
