Chapter 1158 Nial was intentionally fishing for attention. "Have a guess, Bro. Guess if itâs good or bad news." "Just tell." Two words, uttered coldly and straightforwardly.
Nial facepalmed.
How boring. Could he not play along?
However, knowing Anthony's personality, he had to explain, "Didn't you ask me to research the blood type? I suddenly discovered an important piece of information! Someone used to have an ordinary type A blood, but after a test, she suddenly turned into an A3 blood type! This shows that a humanâs blood can have drastic changes. We then researched this, and if it goes well, weâll have results by tonight!"
Anthony frowned.
He turned to look inside and saw that Charmine was still sitting in there.
She would stay to help if Nial did not come, but on the other hand, Nialâs research seemed important...
Nial thought Anthony would be happy for him, but he never expected for him to be replied with silence instead. "Bro, you alright?"
he asked. "Why are you not speaking? Isn't this great news? Why did you make it seem so bad?" "Bring it over," came Anthony's abrupt reply.
"Huh?" Nial was perplexed.
Anthony repeated himself, "Bring your research to this laboratory. When you work on your project tonight, help out William and his team." "What?" Nial jumped out of the sofa.
"Bro, are you kidding me? Was I hearing things? Do you know how challenging my project is? I haven't eaten for the entire day because of this project. The success rate is now only fifty percent, and you want me to help out others? Do you want me to die out of fatigue?!" 2 "And do you want your sister-in-law to die out of fatigue?" retorted Anthony.
Nial instantly realized that it was because of Charmine.
"But Charmine is just providing minor support to William and her Uncles-it won't take up too much energy. If you want me to take care of two projects at once, I might not make it till the next sunrise!" "She can't overwork, so you try your best," spoke Anthony as he removed the phone from his face, ready to hang up.
Nial cried out, "Bro! I know you're not concerned about Charmine overworking. You just donât want Charmine to come close to William, right? Why don't I arrange forthem to send William away?"
Anthony was speechless.
Why was it that even Nial thought he was being jealous? Why could he not just treat Charmine nicely with pure intentions? 1 He did not bother to explain anymore and hung up, leaving Nial hanging and lamenting his fate.
Ah, curses!
Anthony would rather kill Nial due to his jealousy! How could he do this?
Inside the laboratory...
Charmine was leaning on the sofa as she listened to the Uncles talking, but her ears grew numb.
Somehow, she closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
The voices of the Uncles became softer.
Uncle Pop looked at William. "Get her a blanket."
William felt awkward.
He would not have hesitated back then, but since Charmine had someone she fancied, he seemed more of an extra...
"The blanket is with the other housing items," added Uncle Sam. "You want old men like us to go and get it?"
William had no choice but to stand up and get the blanket.
Once he found it, he came back and draped it gently over Charmine's form just as the door was pushed open.
Anthony came back!
When Anthony came in, he saw Charmine sleeping in the dim light.
