She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 658: To Keep a Person

Hope Williams furrowed her brows, feeling a bit helpless. Unable to contact him, she’ll wait for him to return. She doesn’t believe he won’t come home.

She packed up the needle case and handed it back to the man, "Thank you, do you also have knowledge of Silver Needle Acupuncture?"

The man shook his head, "I know very little. I’m a Pharmacist."

"Pharmacist? Johnson..."

"Daniel Johnson, Master Taylor asked me to tell you about your physical condition, but things here got delayed."

Hope Williams nodded, "Alright, then quickly tell me."

Hope Williams also wanted to understand her current condition with this poison.

Daniel Johnson made a gesture to invite her, and Hope Williams nodded, following him out of Old Lady Taylor’s room.

All the way following Daniel Johnson out of the main residence, into the backyard, Hope Williams didn’t know where this person was taking her.

"Pharmacist Johnson, where are you taking me?"

"Just follow me, you’ll know soon."

Feeling skeptical, Hope Williams continued to follow Daniel Johnson until they arrived in front of a smart gate. After security verification, the gate opened.

Daniel Johnson gestured for Hope Williams.

With doubt in her eyes, Hope Williams walked inside and was immediately amazed at what she saw.

Here was a sizeable research laboratory, equipped with sophisticated devices, completely high-tech design, with research personnel in lab coats busy orderly with their tasks.

Daniel Johnson handed a test report to Hope Williams, "We are still analyzing the poison you are affected with. We indeed haven’t seen this before. The fastest we can concoct an antidote would take a month.

Additionally, the hospital won’t be able to detect the poison in you, nor can they resolve it. This is not a lie, you can see for yourself."

Hope Williams’ face grew more solemn, looking down to browse through it. There were many technical terms, many unknown components, not a field Hope Williams had ventured into, hence she barely understood.

But she understood what Daniel Johnson was trying to convey.

The poison within her, she couldn’t resolve it outside by herself.

Only awaits death.

"Back then, Master Taylor spent a considerable amount of time building such a lab, it took a month to gather all equipment, searching nationwide for talents himself.

So, Miss Williams, I know your identity, and aware your family isn’t lacking money, but many things cannot be achieved with money alone, especially life, time, you mustn’t waste even a second.

If you went back, trying to set up such a lab and gather such a team for researching the antidote just for yourself, I bet it would also need a considerable amount of time.

Your current situation, though the poison hasn’t yet manifested, you feel your body is still fine, but you don’t know, it’s within your body and your organs will quickly begin to fail in the second month, while our fastest estimation to develop an antidote is also a month. Do you think you can survive if you return?"

Hope Williams glanced around, indeed, establishing such a large-scale lab and a competent research team couldn’t be completed overnight.

What Daniel Johnson said made a lot of sense.

"Even if you’re not considering for yourself, you have to think about the unborn child in your belly. Just three months, does reuniting with your lover outweigh your life’s importance? Master Taylor truly wishes to save you, urging you to stay. Miss Williams, consider wisely."

After speaking, Daniel Johnson made an invite gesture, both of them walked out of the lab together.

"May I ask why he originally wanted to build such a lab?"

Surely, no one would invest such effort without reason to build an Antidote Lab specifically.

Anthony Taylor also doesn’t seem like someone who enjoys research.

Daniel Johnson’s eyes dimmed, "To keep someone."

Hope Williams blinked, noticing Daniel Johnson’s expression, pursing her lips, hesitating for a long time before asking, "Did they eventually stay?"

"No."

...

At night, Hope Williams lay in bed, repeatedly pondering over Daniel Johnson’s words, unable to sleep.

Firstly, due to her physical condition, worrying for herself as well as her baby.

Secondly, worrying about Waylon Lewis and the others. Unable to contact them, they must be still looking for her, unsure of how anxious they must be.

Hope Williams grabbed a pillow to cover her head, feeling distressed.

The crucial point was Anthony Taylor still hasn’t returned. His household staff wouldn’t allow her to do anything without his orders.

Hope Williams got up, walked out of the room to find a servant to ask, "Has Master Taylor returned?"

"Not yet, Miss Williams, what’s the matter?"

"I need to find him for something, can you help me contact him?"

"I’m sorry, Miss Williams, that’s beyond my capability."

Hope Williams sighed, "Alright, thank you."

Back in the room, Hope Williams remained sleepless for the night.

This continued for five days.

Anthony Taylor still hasn’t returned, Hope Williams sat in the courtyard, troubled.

Daniel Johnson would routinely draw her blood for testing, any inquiries about Anthony Taylor’s return met with undisclosed answers, eventually annoying Daniel Johnson, to the extent he avoided her.

She wanted to leave, stepping two steps beyond the gate only to be stopped.

Except for Violet Summer occasionally chatting with her, others wouldn’t speak to her, each occupied with their own tasks.

Hope Williams was persistently downcast, feeling she might worry herself into white hair.

Due to the intense desire to contact Waylon Lewis to report safety, Hope Williams contemplated stealing a phone to make a call.

Just while Hope Williams worriedly frowned, the gate suddenly opened.

Hope Williams raised her head to see it was Asher Ross!

Asher Ross glanced at Hope Williams with a cold, sinister smile on his face, "Hope Williams, Brother Taylor isn’t around recently, looks like today no one can protect you."
