The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 1052: Chapter 996: Aren’t You Going to Ask How I’m Doing?

"I won’t conduct experiments on living subjects!" Reggie Dewey refused.

Russell Austin also expressed his stance, "This violates public ethics. I refuse as well."

"All of you, why are you so old-fashioned?" Melly looked at Reggie Dewey, her eyes seemingly seeing him as nothing more than a block of wood.

Reggie Dewey remained unmoved and spoke firmly, "It’s not about being old-fashioned, it’s about principles! We are different from you— in our eyes, all lives are invaluable, regardless of status!"

"..."

"We won’t be as indifferent as you, treating human lives so carelessly!" Reggie Dewey grabbed Melly’s hand, pushed her to the door, and locked it from the inside.

Melly: ...

Seeing Melly coming out, Sabrina Conner kept a distance, afraid of infections, "Melly, what’s with your expression? Were you rebuffed from a forward advance? You look so constipated, how pitiful..."

Melly pretended to leave but suddenly hugged Sabrina Conner when she was nearby, "Didn’t you notice the scent on me? Truly inexperienced..."

"Who says I’m inexperienced?" Sabrina Conner blushed.

"..."

"Hey, hey, stay away from me; you came out of the laboratory. Who knows if you’re carrying a virus? Don’t infect me, alright? I’m still young and plan to live a long time. Don’t kill me." Sabrina Conner shouted erratically, pushing Melly aside.

"Oh, little virgin, blushing just from a hug. Did you smell the scent on Sister? That’s the scent post-interaction between men and women."

Sabrina Conner’s face turned beet red all of a sudden.

Sabrina Conner is 20 years old; Abyanabad has a small population, encouraging early marriage and childbearing. People his age generally have children already.

In reality, he hasn’t even touched a woman yet, something quite damaging to male pride.

"No need to feel ashamed for being inexperienced. Look at Sixth Master; he met Madam at 26 and then broke his innocence, and now he’s leading a good life."

"How do you know Sixth Master was still inexperienced at 26?"

Melly pushed aside the face that leaned in, extending her hand while Sabrina Conner asked baffled, "For what?"

"Tell me if you want to know; pay up."

"Always money-hungry."

"This is an information fee!"

"Humph!"

Melly pinched Sabrina Conner’s cheeks, saying, "When will you mature, you little brat?"

"Hey, how am I not mature?"

Melly pushed Sabrina Conner away, collected her playful expression, became serious, and walked away briskly.

"Mila, what’s up with this woman?"

Barnes Smythe crunched his apple, saying, "Her body exudes a mating pheromone scent."

"What scent? I can’t smell it."

"Because you’re inexperienced!"

"Mila, aren’t you innocent too?... When did you lose your innocence? How come I don’t know?"

"..."

Sabrina Conner leaned over, gossiping, "What’s mating like? How does it feel?"

"No idea!"

Sabrina Conner scoffed, "You sounded experienced earlier!"

Barnes Smythe tossed the apple core accurately into the trash bin and under Sabrina Conner’s pressing said, "Not having tasted pork doesn’t mean you haven’t seen pigs run."

Sabrina Conner: ...

...

Police Station,

Sienna Johnson, handcuffed, sat there across from Adrian Desmond with a policeman holding a gun standing in the room. Sienna never expected that she’d meet Adrian in such a place like this, with the identity of a criminal suspect.

"How’s Curly?"

Sienna’s main concern was Curly’s condition. She’s so little; it’s unknown whether she can withstand this.

"She’s no longer spitting blood, but she’s still feverish. I’m worried she might become brain-damaged by the fever."

"What did Ben Harmon say?"

"He said the situation is relatively stable."

"Have they administered hormone medication to Curly?"

Sienna still worries about this currently; she doesn’t want her daughter to have any future side effects. She wants her healthy and strong.

"They mentioned it, but I refused. Ben Harmon continues conservative treatments."

"No issues with conservative treatment?"

"George seems to have antibodies; Ben Harmon extracted serum from George’s blood, injected it into Curly. Although it can’t cure, it has stabilized the condition. She stopped spitting blood. While fevers recur, it didn’t reach beyond 40 degrees, merely peaking close to 40."

Hearing this, Sienna was finally relieved.

"Ben Harmon is a good friend of mine; don’t let anyone else treat Curly apart from him. I don’t trust those doctors."

"Mm, I left some bodyguards at the hospital; they monitor hospital activities constantly. If anyone acts recklessly, they shouldn’t blame me!" Adrian Desmond spoke ferociously.

"Mm." With Adrian guarding Curly, Sienna felt assured. She believed Adrian could protect Curly well.

"Where’s Sheehan?"

"Mother’s taking care of him. He’s fine, just gets restless at night for missing you."

"Ensure they don’t go out recently. Don’t let others hold Sheehan. If Sheehan gets infected, it’ll be troublesome." Sienna spoke worriedly.

"After the incident, the Johnson Family suspended receiving guests; groceries, I get them sent directly from Cloudscape Mansion."

"How about Grandmother and Samara?"

"Grandmother prays for Curly in her room, while Samara took leave, assisting Mom with caring for Sheehan."

"..."

"Mrs. Desmond, you’ve asked about everyone, haven’t you inquired about me?"

Looking at Adrian Desmond, Sienna sees him in poor condition, beard growing out, eyes bloodshot.

"How’s Sixth Master doing these days?"

"..."

"The beard’s unique; let it grow longer, Sixth Master could become a mountain bandit!"

"I’m not well, but seem you cope well, still jesting." Adrian spoke coldly.

"Didn’t you say to stay positive? I pondered, in such a predicament—crying won’t solve it, better to smile. They say smile more, good luck arrives, isn’t it?"

Adrian reached to take Sienna’s hand, blocked by police, "No physical contact allowed!"

Adrian disregarded, held Sienna’s hand, "Aren’t you thriving in Sileria City? Why can’t you pull some strings, at least remove the handcuffs."

Sienna shook her head, "Currently, with high attention on the case amid extraordinary times, no solid connections dare to intervene."

I’m doing well here; eat, drink what I should, no punitive interrogation.

"What should I do?"

Here isn’t Abyanabad; rules differ, Adrian didn’t know how to handle the situation.

"Care well for Curly and Sheehan, care for the family, and yourself. Then, find Doctor X. I suspect Doctor X behind this."
