Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

In the car…

Stella was holding the slept little guy in her arms, wondering where she would be led to this time.

After half an hour, the car stopped in front of a white building.

The driver opened the door from the outside.

Stella got out of the car, glanced at the man walking ahead of her. She then looked down at the little guy in her

arms thinking about what might happen, and simply followed up.

After entering the white building, Stella found that this might be a laboratory, for it was filled with high-tech

instruments everywhere.

While she was observing the layout of the laboratory, a man in a white coat wearing gold-framed glasses and a

mask walked up to them, “Oh, wow… Why are you here?”

Judging from the voice, it was the guy who brought her here.

The man glanced at her, not very friendly, “I am the one who’s going to ask the question. And why the hell do you

bring them to my place?”

The boy grinned and said, “Come on, I have a guest here. It is impolite to not let my guest stay in a shabby hotel.”

Stella added, “The way you brought me here is not very polite.”

The boy didn't feel embarrassed, but reached out to her, “Well, since what’s done is done, let's forget what has

happened before. Glad to meet you, my name is Archer James.”

At this time, the little guy woke up, arched in Stella's arms, and groaned.

Archer said, “Let me hold him please, and I will take him to do a detailed inspection. It was supposed to be done

tomorrow. But since you guys are all here, we shouldn’t waste any time.”

Stella hesitated for a few seconds, but held the little guy even tightly, “I'm coming with you.”

Archer pointed at the man next to her, “He'll be here. If I run away with your baby, you can get even with him.”

The man ignored him and walked to the window.

Archer whispered again, “Well, our laboratory usually does not allow outsiders to enter, and all the inspections are

also very cumbersome. It is not that you are not allowed to come with me, but inconvenient for both you and me.”

Stella said, “Fine, but you need to give me my phone.”

Archer searched around his body, “Damn, I left the phone in the car. I'll ask them to bring it to you in no time.”

Stella looked at the window, “What is the relation between him and you?”

“He is my cousin.”

Stella gave the child to him without looking at him.

After Archer left with the little guy in his arms, Stella walked to the window and slowly called out the name,

“Darnell?”

The man turned his head around and lifted his eyebrows slightly, looking surprised.

He leaned on the window, “I don’t remember I have ever told you my name.”

When Stella was calling out the name, she wasn’t sure about his name.

She had never thought the ruthless monster that Daniel had talked about before is the man in front of her. How

could he be the one who had been such a cruel demon and a horrible enemy in others’ eyes?

But when he was still in the hallway, his staff called him Master James, and she could tell that he was Darnell.

And, judging from what Archer said just now, she could confirm that he is that man.

Stella said, “I really didn't know what on earth you want to do.”

“What do you mean about that?”

“Everything.”

Darnell laughed, in a very faint voice, “If you are referring to me bringing you to Riverside, I can tell you the reason.

But if you want to know something else, I can't tell you anything.”

Stella frowned, “Why?”

“How can I tell you something that I didn’t do?”

“You didn’t do...” Stella thought for a while, “You mean, what happened before and things about the Conrad family

have nothing to do with you?”

Darnell's expression remained unchanged, “I'm not that nasty.”

Stella said, “Since you didn't do it, why are you hiding from Clarence?”

“Do you trust me?”

Stella said calmly, “No, not quite.”

Darnell said calmly, “How could he believe me if you don’t even trust me? I'm not hiding from him. I am just trying

to avoid unnecessary troubles before everything is solved.”

Stella was silent for a while, “What do you mean ‘if I don’t even trust you’?”

“I mean what you are thinking right now.”

Stella fell into silence, “...”

After a few seconds, Stella said, “If you did not do those things as you said, then why all the evidence points to

Riverside and points to you.”

“Obviously, someone intendedly shifts the blame onto me.”

Upon hearing this, Stella frowned.

Shift the blame onto him?

Was there such a possibility?

If that was the case, then who was manipulating all this?

She pursed her lips and continued, “Then can you answer me the question of why you brought us to Riverside?”

Darnell said, “First, now that all the shreds of evidence are indicating I am the guilty one, I have no reason to sit still.

Second, the nutritional injection was developed from the Riverside Pharmaceutical Factory, and I have the

responsibility to finish the aftermath.”

“Nutrition Needle was indeed developed by the Riverside Pharmaceutical Factory, but you didn't give it to Joanna. Is

this what you mean?”

“Yes.”

“Can you find out who gave it to her now?”

“That batch of nutritional needles supposed to be destroyed two years ago. All those who participated in the

research and development of the injection have been investigated, and there is no clue.”

Hearing that, Stella thought of the most critical question, “How did you bring us here?”

Clarence's agent has been guarding the ward. They will never let any stranger get close to the ward.

Thinking of this, Stella suddenly realized, “City N...no, you have someone in Clarence’s control?”

Darnell said, “This is not the question that I can answer you.”

Although he didn't tell Stella anything, she could tell that she was right about this.

Otherwise, they would not be able to take her and the child away so smoothly.

She is still in a mess for the moment. What happened in City N before is somehow related to the Riverside,

including the sudden illness of the little guy. She was even thinking they and Joanna have reached some kind of

deal.

But now Darnell said that he was framed by others.

Stella couldn’t believe this instinctively, but they seem to have no hostility.

And the condition of the little guy was indeed improved in the past two days.

She couldn't tell the truth at all for a while.

An hour later, Archer took the child out and put it in Stella's arms, but he was not as relaxed as before.

Darnell said, “How is his condition?”

“Not so good, it is more serious than Adam.”

“Is the newly developed drug useful for him?”

“It can somehow work, but the effect is not that good. This medicine can only slow down the process. This medicine

can’t cure it.”

Stella felt a bit astringent in her throat, and asked in a dumb voice, “Is there any other way?”

Archer looked at her and smiled, “Don't be so nervous, there must be a countermethod. Besides, as you can see,

the entire R&D team is working overtime for it. We haven't even rested for two or three days. The little guy will be

fine.”

Stella was stunned. She did not expect that everyone in this laboratory was busy for it.

From this point of view, it seems like the whole incident wasn’t because of them.
