To conduct researches on the antidote to the drug injected into Mitchel, they had been holed up in the lab, sleeping only four hours a night, surviving on various fast foods.
After a whole month without stepping outside the lab doors, they finally decoded the composition of the lethal injection.
The medical geneticist who studied this toxin had claimed it was unsolvable.
But now that they had finally cracked its formula, it was no longer an enigma.
The female doctor advised, âDonât mention it.
The top priority now is to inform your friend and find out the whereabouts of the other injection to save his life.
â
âOh, yes! Youâre right.
Iâll call him now.
â
Luis swiftly dialed Mitchelâs number.
However, he only heard from the other end of the line, âSorry, the number you have dialed is unattended or out of coverage area.
â
Then, it was followed by a beeping sound.
He tried again, but it was still the same.
Concerned, Luis dialed Matteoâs number.
Fortunately, it went through.
âMr.
Stevensâ¦â
Luis immediately bombarded Matteo with a series of questions.
âMatteo, where are you? Where is Mitchel? Why is his phone off?â
âMr.
Dixon is at a wedding venue.
I am outside at the reception.
â
âWedding venue?â Luis had been absorbed in his lab work these days.
Confused by Matteoâs words, he couldnât grasp the news for a while.
Matteo explained, âItâs Mr.
Dixon and Miss Glynâs wedding.
â
âWhat?â Luis was shocked.
He asked in disbelief, âMitchel and Katie are getting married?â
âYes,â Matteo confirmed.
âStop him! Hurry! Stop him! He canât marry Katie,â Luis urged.
He didnât understand what was going on.
He knew Mitchel.
Even if Mars and Earth collided, Mitchel would never marry Katie.
Why the sudden wedding?
âI know Mr.
Dixon isnât sincere about this wedding.
But I have to follow his orders,â Matteo said helplessly.
âTell him that Iâ¦â Luis abruptly stopped.
He realized it wasnât safe to discuss this matter over the phone.
If someone was maliciously eavesdropping, this life-saving news could turn into a disaster that could destroy Mitchel.
Especially since Lorenzo was known for being ruthless.
No one he targeted had ever escaped.
Luis knew that Mitchelâs plan included dealing with Lorenzo.
So, he said to Matteo, âTell Mitchel that Iâve made progress.
Please do your best to delay everything.
Wait until I come back.
Iâll be there in six hours.
â
âOkay, Mr.
Stevens.
I will do my best.
â Sensing the urgency in Luisâ voice, Matteo knew it must be beneficial for Mitchel.
At the thought of this, Matteo quickly ran toward the wedding venue across the street.
But just as he stepped out, he bumped into someone.
Looking up in surprise, Matteo exclaimed, âW, what are you doing here?â
The dark-skinned man was equally shocked.
âMateo, arenât you inside the venue?â
