Chapter 514

Several days later, Nancy informed Lindsey about a major breakthrough at the city’s most prestigious medical research institute.

They had developed a promising new obesity treatment.

However, its production was limited, and it wasn’t available to the general public yet.

Access to this medicine required some insider connections.

Now that Lindsey had known the way, she thought she should have a try anyway.

What if it worked?

After wrapping up her work, Lindsey made time to visit that medical research institute herself.

The gleaming white structure bestowed an air of dignity upon the research institute.

Many people in white coats walked through the building quickly.

Lindsey approached the reception desk to discuss her reason for being there.

She was interested in learning about a particular medicine.

“I’m sorry, Miss.

I can’t share much about that medicine.

Keep an eye on our announcements.

We’ll release any updates as soon as we can,” the receptionist replied with a friendly smile.

Lindsey then inquired, “Do you know when there will be an update on the medicine?”

The receptionist answered, “I’m not sure about the details.

”

Lindsey realized that getting information was tough without the right connections.

But she didn’t have any insiders at the research institute.

If Nancy had known someone, she surely would have informed her sooner.

Feeling slightly let down, Lindsey was about to leave when a group of staff in white lab coats entered through the automatic gate.

Leading the way was a young man, seemingly in his twenties, standing tall and walking with an upright posture.

He wore his white coat open, and its hem fluttered as he moved, exuding a vibrant energy.

He was followed by several older men who looked like professors.

Lindsey found herself intrigued by the young man.

He seemed familiar to her.

As the man entered, he glanced at Lindsey, a hint of surprise on his attractive face.

He paused, whispered something to the professors behind him, and they nodded before departing.

The man turned and made his way towards Lindsey.

Lindsey observed him with a puzzled expression.

Only when he came to a halt in front of her did she realize he was indeed approaching her.

“Lindsey?” The man looked at her with a hint of ambiguity.

Lindsey questioned, “Who are you?”

The man slightly curled his lips, his hands tucked into his lab coat pockets.

Before he could respond, a passerby halted to greet him, “Professor Lopez.
