Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Chapter 213: Chapter 213 “Researcher Hill, please come this way p>
Selena Horton courteously led the way, while the man known as “Researcher Hill” subconsciously looked around. He was first stunned by the luxurious decoration before him, then turned his attention to the person in front of him.
His gaze swept over several people and finally settled on Keira Olsen, pausing slightly.
He had the fortune to meet Nora Researcher once in the past, unfortunately only catching a side profile.
The person in front of him somewhat resembled Nora Researcher.
Keira Olsen also looked at the individual from the research institute, slightly furrowing her brows.
The dean of the Clance Research Institute was named Corey Mills, whom she had always known and who was also the one to deliver her medicine. However, why was the person entering someone unknown like Researcher Hill?
While she was puzzled, Selena Horton had already started to introduce him, “Grandpa, Dad, Uncle, this is Researcher Hill, whom I mentioned before. He is the cousin of my boyfriend and currently works at the institute p>
After saying this, she smiled warmly at Keira Olsen, “Auntie, you mentioned before that you submitted Grandma’s case to the institute, but their screening is very strict, and they don’t allow backdoor entries. Indeed, that’s the case. Just now, Cousin Hill was telling me that when one of the five major families of Clance, the Olsen Family, suddenly asked their dean for a slot, Dean Mills got so scared that he rushed to Oceanion overnight. So this trial medication slot was indeed hard to obtain p>
Upon hearing this, Researcher Hill silently heaved a sigh of relief.
Isn’t getting a slot a simple request for Nora Researcher? Why the need to submit a resume?
It turned out he had misunderstood…
Researcher Hill then chuckled, “Primarily, the medicine developed by Nora Researcher this time is quite expensive, so the headquarters only allocated fifty slots for Crera, all of which Nora Researcher personally selected patients for. Therefore, this time it is nearly impossible to get a slot through connections. If it weren’t for Miss Horton’s sincere devotion, I wouldn’t have persuaded the dean to give me a slot p>
Selena Horton immediately said, “Thank you so much, Cousin. I know this slot was very hard to come by, and you’ve really helped our family a lot this time p>
Oliver Horton and Nathan Horton also immediately expressed their gratitude.
As several people exchanged pleasantries with Researcher Hill, Keira Olsen glanced at the suitcase in his hand.
She then sneered quietly.
The medication was indeed the special drug she had developed; it even bore the logo of their biotech company!
Was there covert operation even within the Clance Research Institute?
While others were still pondering, Researcher Hill spoke up, “Nora Researcher’s medication this time is very effective. Why don’t we administer a dose to Old Mrs. Horton to try it p>
Everyone then stepped aside, allowing Researcher Hill to approach the sick bed.
He pulled out a dose of the special drug and slowly injected it into Old Mrs. Horton’s arm…
Old Mrs. Horton watched intently, and as she did, she gradually began to feel drowsy. Consequently, she yawned and closed her eyes, falling asleep.
Researcher Hill explained, “Nora Researcher’s medication has a sedative effect. It primarily allows the patient to recover consciousness while sleeping, so do not worry. Old Mrs. Horton will wake up in about an hour and should show some improvement p>
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Selena Horton said with a smile, “Cousin, with so many people in Grandma’s sick room, isn’t that a bit inappropriate p>
Researcher Hill caught on immediately, “Right, the patient needs quiet. So everyone, please go out. I need to stay here to monitor the patient’s condition continuously. Miss Selena staying to assist me will suffice p>
Upon hearing this, Keira Olsen’s expression darkened. Were they trying to keep control over her grandmother?
She spoke up directly, “Anything you need recorded, I can help with p>
Upon this, Selena Horton spoke up, “Auntie, why don’t you understand? The research institute keeps patient data highly confidential as it involves their core technology. Only their own personnel can record it. Don’t you make it difficult for Researcher Hill by saying this p>
Researcher Hill immediately smiled, his expression gentle yet containing a veiled threat, “This time, I have taken a risk to secure this opportunity for our family’s grandmother. The data needs to be submitted. If this lady is not cooperative, should we give this slot to someone else p>
This remark prompted Nathan Horton to angrily retort, “Lewis’s wife, what are you interjecting for? Get out of here immediately. Are you trying to kill your grandmother p>
Oliver Horton sinisterly added, “Lewis, you’ve always been the most filial towards Grandma. Although there’s a will stating that she left all her company shares to you after she’s gone, you wouldn’t do this deliberately, would you p>
Keira Olsen furrowed her brows, about to speak, but her hand was grasped by Lewis Horton, who spoke calmly, “Let’s step out first p>
He led Keira Olsen out the door first.
Nathan Horton and Oliver Horton then followed.
Oliver Horton, following behind the couple, smugly suggested, “Lewis, it might be better for you and your wife to move into the main hall. Researcher Hill is bound by a confidentiality agreement. Dad, to avoid putting Selena in a difficult position, I suggest everyone except Fiona move out. We can visit once a day, provided Researcher Hill allows it p>
Nathan Horton nodded, “I think that should be the case p>
He looked toward Lewis Horton, pondering how to persuade him.
As Keira Olsen was about to retort, to her surprise, Lewis Horton simply nodded, “Okay p>
Keira Olsen paused, thought for a moment, and then fell silent.
Lewis Horton was always measured in his actions. Since he had agreed, he must have a contingency plan.
Thinking this, Keira Olsen followed Lewis Horton and walked out the door.
Sure enough, she saw Tom Davis waiting outside for them.
Keira Olsen approached and looked directly at Lewis Horton, “Tell me, what’s your plan? Do you really trust them with Grandma p>
Meanwhile,
Outside the Horton Family residence.
A black luxury car was parked there, with Uncle Olsen seated in the back. Ellis Olsen immediately jumped out of the car and knocked on the large iron gate.
“Who’s there?” a Horton Family security guard called out.
Ellis Olsen smiled, “Tell Lewis Horton that Uncle Olsen is here to visit p>
