The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 1054: Chapter 998: The Veteran Takes the Field

"Yes, it’s her, Sienna Johnson."

"What does Sienna Johnson have to do with the virus outbreak? The virus has spread, so why did the police arrest Sienna Johnson?"

Heather Logan’s phone had the speaker on, and Maddox Brown could also hear.

Maddox Brown listened attentively, eager to know what was going on.

"The outbreak location is Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory, so the police suspect it’s Sienna Johnson who deliberately created the virus and then developed a special drug to profit from it.

It’s complete nonsense.

I’ve known the Johnson Family for years, they are good and charitable people, how could they possibly do something so deceitful?" Dr. Blake stood up for Sienna Johnson.

"Has the special drug been developed?"

"No. People are panicking now, they don’t dare go out, shops are closed, schools have suspended classes, and now it’s probably only the police station and hospital that are still open."

"That serious?" Maddox Brown asked in disbelief.

"Everyone’s scared after SARS. SARS killed more than 700 people, even after recovery, severe sequelae were left behind. Femoral head necrosis is called the cancer that doesn’t kill. People are afraid; if they accidentally get infected, even if cured, the severe sequelae would make life worse than death."

"We understand, thank you, Dr. Blake."

Dr. Blake said, "I live in the city, so it’s not convenient for me to go there and give you acupuncture and massage recently. You’re getting on in age, and if I bring the virus over, it would be my fault."

"Dr. Blake, don’t go out recently either. Keep your home well-ventilated, maintain personal hygiene, and pay attention to health, the virus really isn’t that scary." Heather Logan advised.

"Thank you."

After hanging up Dr. Blake’s call, the two elderly people remained silent for a long time.

After being married for a lifetime, from just one glance, they knew what the other wanted to do.

Logan said, "Do what you want to do, I’ll always support you."

Whether it was resolutely giving up everything abroad to return home and join the army, or now wanting to contribute whatever he can, as his soulmate, she would always support him.

"I’m too old..."

"Old horse in the stable has ambitions far beyond. I believe in you. Go and try, if you can develop antibodies for the virus, it would be a great deed."

Maddox Brown looked at his wife and smiled, "I do want to try, just afraid... after all, I’m old, it’s been more than twenty years since I dealt with viruses."

"In my mind, you’re still the most brilliant scientist."

Maddox Brown held his wife’s hand and said, "Accompany me."

"Of course, wherever you go, I will go."

...

At the hospital, Adrian Desmond showed card magic tricks to his daughter through thick glass, trying to cheer her up.

Adrian Desmond had been having a hard time these days, leaving his son with his mother-in-law; he didn’t even have time to go see him, afraid to leave his daughter alone and worried about bringing the virus back to the Johnson Family, causing his son to get sick too.

"Ten of Diamonds." Curly guessed.

Adrian Desmond flipped the card, it was indeed the Ten of Diamonds, Curly clapped happily and said, "So great, I guessed it right."

Adrian Desmond’s fingers were nimble, shuffling and cutting the deck... He played tricks even with a single deck of cards.

Sean walked over and said, "Sixth Master, there are two elderly people who want to see you."

"Not meeting them."

Sean went back to reject them, Adrian Desmond continued playing cards with his daughter, wanting to see her smile more.

After a while, Adrian Desmond brought over two elderly people.

The elderly man wore a gray plaid suit, matched with a yellow tie, very stylish, while the elderly lady wore a light green cheongsam, her silvery permed hair was beautifully styled.

"Mr. Desmond..."

Adrian Desmond turned back irritably and was momentarily stunned upon seeing the two elderly people, recalling he had met them at the nursing home.

Adrian Desmond didn’t understand why they were looking for him, he asked, "Was it you who wanted to see me just now?"

"Yes." Heather Logan said, glancing at the isolated Curly, who was lying on the bed looking at them through the glass.

"This is your daughter, right?" Curly resembled Adrian Desmond more.

"Hmm." Adrian Desmond glanced at his daughter, his mood growing heavier. His daughter had already been in the isolation room for six days and he didn’t know when he could bring her home.

"You and your wife look good, and your children are all very pretty."

Heather Logan liked children very much, especially a beautiful girl like Curly, who should love to smile, the corners of her mouth raised forming a beautiful arc.

"What do you want from me?" Adrian Desmond asked.

"We’re here to help." Heather Logan said.

"Help?" Adrian Desmond looked them over, not that he looked down on them, but what help could these two elderly people provide?

Heather Logan smiled and said, "My husband and I have studied viruses all our lives, we understand them well. Since the virus suddenly broke out in Sileria City six days ago and antibodies haven’t been developed yet, we wanted to come and try."

Adrian Desmond looked at them as if seeing the panacea, "As long as you can develop antibodies to save my daughter, I’ll pay whatever you want."

Heather Logan shook her head and said, "We don’t want money, my husband and I are childless and close to the end of our days, what would we do with so much money."

"Then what do you want?"

"We need a laboratory and two assistants. My husband and I, after all, are getting old, and much work requires assistants." Heather Logan said.

Sean interjected, "Sixth Master, maybe Reggie Dewey and Russell Austin can be their assistants."

With Sean’s prompt, Adrian Desmond remembered that over in Seargan, Reggie Dewey and Russell Austin were battling the virus.

"Yes, yes! Let Reggie Dewey and his team assist you."

Sean explained to the two elderly people, "Six days ago, Reggie Dewey and Russell Austin from Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory’s Research and Development Department took virus samples to a laboratory in Seargan and have been researching ever since, but no results have come out yet.

Seargan has a laboratory and assistants, fully meeting your requirements, I can take you there now."

"We also need virus samples." Maddox Brown said.

"The laboratory has them."

"You mentioned they were from six days ago. Do you know that viruses evolve? In six days, the virus has completed a growth cycle."

Adrian Desmond asked, "Then what should we do?"

"New samples need to be taken from the patient."

Adrian Desmond glanced at his daughter, Curly had lost all her beautiful curls, now she had a bare head and wore a square strawberry scarf.

"Take Curly with you!"

Sean worriedly said, "Sixth Master, what if Curly’s condition worsens after leaving the isolation room?"

"Staying here is just waiting for death, isn’t it?"
