Chapter 116 Silent Resistance
Lexie’s heart tightened and her back slammed against the wall.
Patrick stepped out of the shadows.
“Patrick, is that Patrick?”
An old voice suddenly came from the alley.
Before Lexie could look back, Patrick had already gone over to her first, “Grandma, why are you out by yourself?”
“How many times have I said, you can’t see clearly at night, you come out and fall again!”
Following the sound, Lexie only saw the innermost small house, the house was dimly lit, there was an old woman standing in the doorway, on crutches, trembling, while Patrick called her grandmother.
The small house is very dilapidated and in disrepair, the walls are mottled.
The house did not even have a decent chair, Patrick pushed the clothes away from the corner of the ‘sofa’ and took his coat off and laid it on, “Mrs. Howard, you don’t mind, you sit.”
Lexie looked at the busy old man in the house.
Patrick explained, “My grandmother is old and her ears and eyes are not so good, but for some reason, she hears my voice.”
[Your family, just you and grandma?
“Well, I’ve been living with my grandmother since I was a little girl.”
Lexie couldn’t bear to hear such words, she also grew up with her grandmother.
“Patrick, come and help me see where the tea is, pour a cup of tea for the guests!”
Grandma’s voice came from the inner room.
Patrick walked in busy, “Grandma you don’t busy, where is the tea at home …”
“I remember that there is, what kind of people let people leave without having some tea?”
Patrick was able to coax his grandmother to stop working, lift the curtain and come out, and was about to talk to Lexie when he noticed that Lexie had already left, an envelope resting on the corner of the worn table.
He froze and grabbed the envelope to chase him out, but all he heard was the sound of an engine at the entrance of the alley.
When Lexie arrived home, Alan wasn’t back yet.
She took a look at the time, 11 o’clock, a meal will not take so long, it looks like it should be sent Edith home, she did not think much about it, into the kitchen to pour water to drink.
Kevin came out of the bedroom and inquired, “How is Grandma doing?”
[Nothing is wrong, just rest at home for two days].
“The teenager?”
The company has been helping the grandmother for some time now.
Kevin is a little uneasy, “I’ll help you check his identity, so suddenly appeared a person.”
Lexie shakes her head.
A child who is dependent on his grandmother, filial to the elderly, even if the surface looks dangling, but he has not done anything bad, will not be bad.
Seeing her reluctance, Kevin couldn’t force it.
“By the way, the results of the drug analysis you entrusted me to do earlier are out.”
Lexie took the information from Kevin’s hand, but looked a little confused.
She has not studied medicine and knows little about Chinese medicine, and the ingredients on it are not very understandable.
Kevin explained, “These kinds of Chinese medicine, including pills, oral liquid, including health products, the role of the human body are not large, it can be said that there is no merit, the Drug Administration side, it is reasonable to say that it should also be checked out.”
Many times, as long as no one is killed, everything is calm and quiet.
Kevin was slightly stunned.
Lexie’s demeanor, however, was calm.
the Mitchell Group in J City for so many years, more or less or some relationship, otherwise Peter’s hands on those without a dose of ancestral prescriptions, the Mitchell Group has long since gone out of business.
Now with Kevin’s lab results in place and Flora’s investigation first, Lexie was sure that Peter had been selling fake drugs all these years.
The Mitchell family’s century-old medical school, with six ancestral prescriptions, passed down to Peter, and there is not a single one left.
As we were talking, the sound of an engine came from outside.
When Alan entered the door, he saw Kevin and Lexie standing together in the bright light of the kitchen, just like a pair of perfect people.
His brow furrowed, but he quickly returned to his normal self.
“Brother,” Kevin offered in greeting.
Alan gave a ‘hmm’, “Still up?”
“My sister-in-law entrusted me with some lab tests before, and today the information just came out, so I took it to her.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Alan’s eyes fell on Lexie’s hand, thoughtful.
Lexie put away the information, [Go up and talk.
Alan nodded slightly.
In the study, Lexie tells the truth about Kevin’s words and her suspicions.
Alan looked at those labs in his hand, “Originally, before the R & D room closed, I also had someone test Nerves Soothing Pill, but the results are not yet available, you are quite thoughtful.”
“But,” he suddenly raised his head, his gaze sunken, “didn’t you say that Peter didn’t have a prescription in his hand? Then what was the prescription you gave me?”
Lexie’s heart thumped, her hand shook, and a lab slip in her hand floated down to her feet.
She forgot about it.
Alan stared at her coldly, “No explanation?”
Lexie’s throat tightened.
[I was trying to stay alive and didn’t mean to lie to you.
“Then why not tell the truth?”
[You won’t believe it.]
Lexie’s face stiffened and she gestured carefully in her hand, [The situation was such that if I told you I had seen the prescription, but there was no dose on it, you wouldn’t believe it at all].
Alan’s originally sullen and cold eyes were stunned for a moment.
As far as he could remember, Lexie seemed to have said it many times.
[You won’t believe it.]
He really never believed her either.
Whether she was in contact with Peter or with another man, his first reaction was always that she was going to betray herself and run away from herself.
“Forget this matter, I hope you won’t hide anything from me in the future.”
Lexie breathed a sigh of relief.
[I need to leave work early in the next two days, is that okay?
“What’s wrong?”
I need to go over and look after her every day.
Alan nodded, “Yes.”
?? And, two days ago I saved a child who committed sheep epilepsy, he has been taking care of grandma recently, if you are not sure, you can have someone investigate him??.
“What do you mean by that?”
[He is twenty years old, and his grandmother is dependent on him, the family is not good, I just followed the past to see, if the old man without him, can only be self-sustaining.
Lexie’s expressionless face typed in sign language as if it were an emotionless machine.
Alan’s heart was irritated for no reason and scolded, “In your eyes, I am such an indiscriminate person who wants people’s lives at will?”
Lexie’s face doesn’t change.
[I don’t mean that, just that these things are told to you in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings].
What happened to Myles came first, and she couldn’t let any more innocent people get hurt because of herself.
“Is that so?”
Alan stared at her coldly, “Why do I get the feeling that you’re fighting me? Pissing me off in this way!”
