"No, I completely believe you, and that's why I'm done for." Edward got off the operation table with a sort of dreamy look on his face. He stared blankly at the floor and silently moved his lips. He still looked handsome, even with the devastating look on his face.

"Here you are. Have a look at it for yourself." Tom then shoved the report to Edward and hastily left the room with a gloating smile drawn all over his face. Because he knew what would happen after Edward read the report. He had to walk fast to his office to lock himself in it before Edward found out the truth and wanted to strangle him.

"Some more? Will you pay?" Tom sighed deeply. It seemed that he had to say goodbye to his secret stash. He didn't even charge Edward for the examination, and the impertinent devil also ungratefully took his invaluable miracle ointment.

"Why me? Unless you give it to me when you're done, you'll get nothing out of me." There was no way in the world Edward would pay for Tom's research. Tom had made the first move to trick Edward, and so he had to be prepared to face the consequences.
