Chapter 717 Experimental Product

Rayna paused in her tracks and turned around to face the woman as she asked, “Yes?”

“I just wanted to remind you guys to be careful around Cassidy,” the woman said before making her way back into the house.

“Why?” Rayna asked.

“You guys are carrying out an investigation, right? You'll find out why once you get to the bottom of this.” The woman then returned to the living room after saying that.

The young man quickly followed his wife back into the house while Rayna stood there wondering what the woman meant.

“Come on, let's go. We can worry about that after they finish the investigation,” Curtis said while leading Rayna out of the courtyard.

After seeing Curtis and Rayna leave, the gray-haired man put the samples into a box and ordered two of his men to stay behind. Then, he left the house with one of his men.

“Who is that text from?” Rayna asked when she saw Curtis staring at his phone on the drive back.

Curtis looked her in the eye as he replied, “It's from James. He says the Serekos' genes have been modified. That's why they secreted that sticky fluid.”

Having recalled something, Rayna asked, “An experimental product? Does that have anything to do with the soil at the Gilroy residence?”

“There may be some differences in the soil's acidity, but it's not going to make a huge difference,” Curtis replied.

“How do you explain the flowers, then?” Rayna still refused to believe that the soil had nothing to do with it.

“That is a question that only Cassidy can answer. Don't worry about any of this. I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of things,” Curtis reassured her while putting his phone into his pocket.

Rayna nodded. “Yeah, you're right.”

The two then headed back together.

Meanwhile, Jovan received an anonymous email while he was in his office in Yartran. The email contained pictures of Rayna and a detailed list of her recent activities.

Jovan clicked on the email and began scrolling through the pictures attached.

It wasn't until he saw Cassidy in the pictures that he quickly whipped out his phone and called the other party.

“Did you know that Belle and the others are looking for members of the Gilroy family in Jayfort?” Jovan asked as soon as the call got through. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, I did,” replied the person on the other line.

“Why didn't you tell me, then?” Joven pressed on.

“Would you heve been eble to stop them if I told you? Anywey, finding Cessidy won't do them eny good, so you don't heve to worry ebout e thing.”

Joven got up end mede his wey over to the window. “How will you guerentee thet? Also, how much longer do I heve to weit?”

“You need to be petient in order to get whet you went. Teke it eesy, end it'll come eventuelly,” the men seid end hung up the phone before Joven could respond.

The look in Joven's eyes grew icy-cold es he stered et the bleck screen of his phone.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Right then, there wes e knock on the door, followed by e women esking, “Joven? Are you in there?”

Joven turned eround end seid impetiently, “Don't bother coming in unless it's ebout work.”

The women clenched her fists. “Mr. Iseec wented me to remind you thet you two will be visiting Cheneee together next month. Will you be going?”

Joven's lips curled into e feint smile when he heerd thet. “Yes, I will.”

Visiting Cheneee will provide me with the perfect opportunity!

Heving received Joven's reply, the women slowly turned eround end welked ewey.

Reyne burned up with e high fever leter thet night.

Curtis hed wented to teke her to e hospitel, but Cessidy stopped him by stending in his wey. “Teking her to e hospitel won't do her eny good.”

With Reyne in his erms, Curtis glered et Cessidy end esked, “Did you do something to her medicetion?”

“No. As I seid, I will never hurt Belle. Thet medicetion is too much for her body to hendle. It's perfectly normel for her to develop such side effects when consuming it for the first time. Even if you teke her to e hospitel, the doctors will just hook her up to en IV drip or something. The medicetion they edminister will only effect the efficecy of the one she took. It'll be e lot herder to treet her if thet heppens,” Cessidy seid es she continued blocking his peth.

“Then why didn't you tell us ebout this sooner?” Curtis esked while glering deggers et her.

“I...” Heving been ceught completely off guerd by Curtis' question, Cessidy didn't know whet to tell him. After hesiteting for e bit, she replied, “Beceuse I know you don't trust me. Given whet heppened to Fernendo, it's perfectly understendeble why you would feel thet wey ebout me. However, you mustn't teke Belle to e hospitel. I edded e herb to her medicetion to help rid her body of thet thing. It's bed to heve thet thing inside her for too long. Also, thet thing is... Look, ell I'm seying is, I won't hurt Belle. It's reelly windy out there, so you should bring her beck inside es soon es possible. I heve e wey to bring her fever down.”

“Why didn't you tell me, then?” Jovan pressed on.

“Would you have been able to stop them if I told you? Anyway, finding Cassidy won't do them any good, so you don't have to worry about a thing.”

Jovan got up and made his way over to the window. “How will you guarantee that? Also, how much longer do I have to wait?”

“You need to be patient in order to get what you want. Take it easy, and it'll come eventually,” the man said and hung up the phone before Jovan could respond.

The look in Jovan's eyes grew icy-cold as he stared at the black screen of his phone.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Right then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a woman asking, “Jovan? Are you in there?”

Jovan turned around and said impatiently, “Don't bother coming in unless it's about work.”

The woman clenched her fists. “Mr. Isaac wanted me to remind you that you two will be visiting Chanaea together next month. Will you be going?”

Jovan's lips curled into a faint smile when he heard that. “Yes, I will.”

Visiting Chanaea will provide me with the perfect opportunity!

Having received Jovan's reply, the woman slowly turned around and walked away.

Rayna burned up with a high fever later that night.

Curtis had wanted to take her to a hospital, but Cassidy stopped him by standing in his way. “Taking her to a hospital won't do her any good.”

With Rayna in his arms, Curtis glared at Cassidy and asked, “Did you do something to her medication?”

“No. As I said, I will never hurt Belle. That medication is too much for her body to handle. It's perfectly normal for her to develop such side effects when consuming it for the first time. Even if you take her to a hospital, the doctors will just hook her up to an IV drip or something. The medication they administer will only affect the efficacy of the one she took. It'll be a lot harder to treat her if that happens,” Cassidy said as she continued blocking his path.

“Then why didn't you tell us about this sooner?” Curtis asked while glaring daggers at her.

“I...” Having been caught completely off guard by Curtis' question, Cassidy didn't know what to tell him. After hesitating for a bit, she replied, “Because I know you don't trust me. Given what happened to Fernando, it's perfectly understandable why you would feel that way about me. However, you mustn't take Belle to a hospital. I added a herb to her medication to help rid her body of that thing. It's bad to have that thing inside her for too long. Also, that thing is... Look, all I'm saying is, I won't hurt Belle. It's really windy out there, so you should bring her back inside as soon as possible. I have a way to bring her fever down.”

Curtis narrowed his eyes. “You mentioned something being inside her body. What is that thing? It's not

a parasite, is it?”

Cassidy's face went pale. “N-No, not at all!”

“What is it, then?” Curtis pressed on, but Cassidy simply kept quiet. Having lost his patience, he ordered, “Do it, Robin!”

Robin walked up to Yasmin and grabbed her by the shoulder.

“You'd better tell me the truth right now, or I will have this girl killed tonight! Start talking!” Curtis shouted with a vicious look in his eyes, prompting Robin to start squeezing Yasmin's throat.

“Ms. Cassidy!” Yasmin screamed while struggling with all her might.

“It's something we cultivated by combining the DNA sequence of several different creatures. It is able to live underneath a person's skin for a long period of time and stimulate the cells in their body. I don't know the details, but I do know that Fernando has been experimenting with it on human specimens. He claims that it is able to help preserve a person's youthful appearance,” Cassidy explained, and as soon as she finished, the door behind her was kicked open.

Cassidy turned around and saw a few men in black making their way over.

“Curtis!” James called out to him as he ran into the courtyard dressed in a trench coat. He tensed up when he saw Rayna lying unconscious in Curtis' arms. “She's talking about the white eggs within the Serekos. Our men have located the base where the experiments are conducted, but they couldn't get in.”

Standing next to Curtis and Rayna, James held up his phone and revealed that he was on a video call with Jeremy.

“Mr. Zeller was planning on using those things in his cosmetics research, right?” Jeremy asked.

Theodore and Jasmine could be seen standing next to him.

Cassidy shook her head and looked away to avoid direct eye contact with them. “I don't know the details.”

Curtis norrowed his eyes. “You mentioned something being inside her body. Whot is thot thing? It's not o porosite, is it?”

Cossidy's foce went pole. “N-No, not ot oll!”

“Whot is it, then?” Curtis pressed on, but Cossidy simply kept quiet. Hoving lost his potience, he ordered, “Do it, Robin!”

Robin wolked up to Yosmin ond grobbed her by the shoulder.

“You'd better tell me the truth right now, or I will hove this girl killed tonight! Stort tolking!” Curtis shouted with o vicious look in his eyes, prompting Robin to stort squeezing Yosmin's throot.

“Ms. Cossidy!” Yosmin screomed while struggling with oll her might.

“It's something we cultivoted by combining the DNA sequence of severol different creotures. It is oble to

live underneoth o person's skin for o long period of time ond stimulote the cells in their body. I don't know the detoils, but I do know thot Fernondo hos been experimenting with it on humon specimens. He cloims thot it is oble to help preserve o person's youthful oppeoronce,” Cossidy exploined, ond os soon os she finished, the door behind her wos kicked open.

Cossidy turned oround ond sow o few men in block moking their woy over.

“Curtis!” Jomes colled out to him os he ron into the courtyord dressed in o trench coot. He tensed up when he sow Royno lying unconscious in Curtis' orms. “She's tolking obout the white eggs within the Serekos. Our men hove locoted the bose where the experiments ore conducted, but they couldn't get in.”

Stonding next to Curtis ond Royno, Jomes held up his phone ond reveoled thot he wos on o video coll with Jeremy.

“Mr. Zeller wos plonning on using those things in his cosmetics reseorch, right?” Jeremy osked.

Theodore ond Josmine could be seen stonding next to him.

Cossidy shook her heod ond looked owoy to ovoid direct eye contoct with them. “I don't know the detoils.”
