"Well, Dr. Jones, since you're the one guaranteeing him..."

The sheriff spoke slowly, his sharp eyes fixed on Dr. Jones in front of him, as if trying to see a clue from the other's expression.

However, Dr. Jones had a calm expression and his eyes were firm and sincere.

The sheriff was true to his word and he took swift action to arrest everyone involved in the incident.

These people's faces showed fear, anger, or helplessness, but without exception they could not escape the punishment of the law.

Of course, the sheriff originally intended to capture Charles Holt, who manufactured the dangerous item.

Fortunately, thanks to Dr. Jones's guarantee and after careful investigation and analysis, it was found that the whole matter was not closely related to Charles Holt.

It's like a thief sneaking into a house and stealing a sharp knife, and then using the knife to brutally kill innocent people in broad daylight.

Can we blame the family for owning such a knife? After all, who could have expected that something safely placed at home would be stolen and used to commit a crime by someone with ill intentions?

So, in this case, it would be obviously unfair to put the blame entirely on Charles Holt.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more crucial thing, Dr. Jones." The sheriff said solemnly, and slowly put his hand into his arms, as if there was some rare treasure hidden there.

After a moment, he carefully took out an exquisite invitation letter, the delicate patterns and gold-plated fonts on it were particularly eye-catching.

Although the shocking disaster had been temporarily overcome, the impact it brought continued to spread like ripples and took a long time to subside.

Think of what Mr. Luchino DiLuci and Mr. Percy had developed together—the miraculous drug that was effective against infection!

It's like a divine weapon that fell from the sky, it's amazing.

There is no doubt that such an outstanding invention must have attracted great official attention, and relevant people will soon come to invite them to attend important lectures.

Moreover, those people not only expect them to share this epoch-making technology without reservation, but even if they cannot do that, they at least hope that they can come forward in person and have in-depth exchanges and discussions with other researchers.

After all, such a great invention is so dazzling that everyone is eager to witness the charm of these two talented scientists with their own eyes and gain valuable experience and wisdom from them.

However, the sheriff resisted the pressure and blocked all these invitations for Miss Jones. After all, Miss Jones' clinic was still full of injured patients. Compared with these so-called discussions, Dr. Jones should take better care of these patients.

Except for this letter, which the sheriff could not get rid of no matter how hard he tried, the sheriff blocked all the others for her.

"Uh..." Lydia couldn't help but let out a sigh, her throat seemed to be choked by something, and she was speechless for a moment.

Facing the majestic sheriff in front of her, her heart was filled with confusion and helplessness.

Indeed, it was no wonder that Lydia remained silent. After all, she had no idea how to explain this complicated and absurd problem to the sheriff.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Lucchino and Percy are simply great figures who created epoch-making drugs, and their achievements are worthy of admiration.

However, only Lydia knows the unknown side behind these two people.

Let’s talk about Lucchino first. He is immersed in those meaningless and boring research all day long and cannot extricate himself.

In pursuit of the so-called scientific breakthrough, he was so crazy that he turned himself into a weird half-lizard, half-human appearance!

Not only that, he used himself as a test subject day after day, completely disregarding the huge risks to his body.

What is even more difficult to understand is that he often plays all kinds of strange games with a snake, as if he has been completely lost in this bizarre world.

The other Percy is a madman who has an almost insane obsession with "resurrection from the dead" and "perfect human beings".

He wandered around cemeteries all day, digging up other people's graves at will and collecting the remains of corpses, trying to piece together a human being who could be resurrected from the dead.

But what is the final result?

Haha, it’s just failure again and again.

Not only that, he often worked with Lucas in the manor to make some earth-shattering noises, blowing the entire manor into a mess, which was simply a disaster.

Although Lydia desperately wanted to refuse directly, after all, she really couldn't imagine what kind of shocking things would be caused if she allowed these two to participate in the so-called academic seminar!

However, when she looked at the sheriff, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pity and understanding.

Looking at the sheriff's appearance at the moment, he must have prevented many similar troubles for him before, and this time he was probably really helpless and had no idea what to do, so he had to come to her for help out of necessity.

Thinking of this, Lydia really couldn't bear to put the sheriff in such an embarrassing dilemma, so after struggling and hesitating for a while, she finally gritted her teeth and agreed.

.................................................. ........................

"I won't go!" Lucino said firmly. His frown and determined eyes revealed his inner resistance.

He really couldn't understand why he had to go to that damn place, which was full of a bunch of self-righteous idiots. Getting along with them was simply a torture to his IQ and patience.

Every time I tried to reason with those people, what I got was not understanding and recognition, but endless quarrels and disdainful ridicule.

Instead of doing this, it is better to lock yourself in the laboratory, immerse yourself in the ocean of science, and explore the unknown mysteries; or lie comfortably on the soft big bed and spend a warm and romantic whole day with your beloved Juliet.

Thinking of this, Luchino felt more and more that going to that place was a sheer waste of precious time.

However, at this moment, a crisp sound broke the brief silence - Lydia effortlessly broke the pencil he used to write into two halves in front of Lucino.

The broken pencil seemed to foreshadow some ominous ending, and the slightly provocative smile on Lydia's face was even more chilling.

This naked threat couldn't be more obvious: if Luchino dared to disobey orders and refused to go to the place that he hated so much, then the next thing to be broken might not be just a pencil...

Lucchino muttered with a bitter face: "I... Can't I go? (╥w╥`)" He looked so pitiful, like a lamb about to be sent to the slaughterhouse.

However, at the moment before leaving, the rebellious consciousness deep in his heart was still growing like weeds, trying to grasp the last chance to struggle.

After all, going to the place he hated so much was harder than climbing to the sky for him.

At this moment, Lucino stood there, his eyes wandering, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of going to that terrible place and being severely beaten up by Lydia.

Lydia, on the other hand, had her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, and the expression on her face was as terrifying as a volcano about to erupt.

As time passed, the atmosphere around them became more and more solemn.

Finally, as the saying goes - either explode in silence or perish in silence.

At this moment, Lucino, who had been enduring, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and it erupted like volcanic lava!

"Why are you always like this? I'm warning you, don't treat my dignity as air!" Luchino roared at the top of his lungs. The sound was so deafening that even the windows seemed to tremble.

Faced with Lucino's sudden roar, Lydia was stunned at first, then she widened her eyes and looked at him in astonishment.

Obviously, she did not expect that Luchino, who was usually timid, would have such a violent reaction.

There was a loud bang of "BOOM!!!!" and the whole room seemed to shake.

Then, a miserable cry was heard: "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu..." It turned out that Lucino was slapped mercilessly by Lydia, and a big red bump suddenly appeared on his head.

In the end, although Luchino was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to pick up his luggage, carry the conspicuous big bag on his head, and set off for the academic seminar with a dejected look, looking back every step of the way.

Looking at his back gradually going away, people can't help but sigh: If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place? ┐(─__─)┌

.................................................. ........................

the other side,

Anne sat in the rocking chair by the window, holding a cup of steaming milk in her hand, looking out the window at the garden from time to time.

In her hand was the letter which Lydia Percy had brought.

Anne was somewhat disappointed by the content of the letter, but it was also expected. Lydia made it clear that she could not rush back to accompany Anne before she gave birth because there were many injured people in urgent need of care.

Anne sighed softly, put the message on the table beside her, and thought to herself: "Alas, it seems that I can only rely on myself this time."

However, Anne was not overly worried about the situation.

She knew that Lydia was responsible for saving the dying and the wounded, and those wounded needed her help even more. Moreover, Anne knew very well that there was a reliable manor owner who would give her support and care.

What's more, this was not the first time she had experienced the pain of childbirth. The experience of giving birth to a baby successfully last time gave her enough confidence and courage.

Now, Anne's favorite thing to do every day is to sit quietly in the rocking chair, gently stroking her bulging belly that seems to hide the whole world.

She felt every slight movement of the fetus in her belly, and a happy and loving smile appeared on her face.

"My little baby, you must be good. Mommy will be able to see you soon!" Annie whispered softly, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

"My little baby, my Hawklin, when you come into this world, mom will love you well and give you the warmest embrace and the most sincere love........."

.................................................. ........................

"I...I think I'm about to give birth..."

At this moment, Qiu Ke exclaimed: "Oh my god! What just flew past?! ⊙_⊙" Qiu Ke widened his eyes and looked ahead in astonishment.

Joke couldn't believe his eyes. Just now, Gangi was standing in front of him and talking to him, but after hearing Anne say she wanted to give birth to a baby, Gangi flew out like a bolt of lightning in an instant, at a speed that was astonishing.

Even the usually calm Annie was stunned by Gangi's exaggerated reaction. She looked at Gangi's running back, and couldn't help but raise a happy smile, thinking to herself: Hehehe... Dear, this reaction is too exaggerated, right?

In fact, Anne just felt that the baby seemed to be descending little by little, but her amniotic fluid had not even broken yet, and she did not feel any pain from contractions.

However, Gangi was so nervous that it seemed as if the sky was about to fall.

However, although she was somewhat surprised by Gangi's overreaction, Anne still felt it was extremely sweet.

Because she knew that this man really loved her and cared about her and their upcoming baby. Anne felt that she was the happiest woman in the world to have such a good husband who always kept her in mind and took good care of her.

.................................................. ........................

"My water hasn't broken yet, and my contractions haven't started yet. It will probably be tonight..."

After examining Anne, the owner of the manor came to a conclusion.

It can be seen that tonight is another sleepless night.

And tonight, a new life will be born soon~
