Chapter 349: Chapter 349

Rosemary had just stepped out of the classroom when she spotted a familiar figure in the distance. What was he doing here?

Mya’s gaze met Romeo’s. Just a second ago, she had been hugging Rosemary. The next second, she let go, stuttering, "I brought your girlfriend over. Bye." Rosemary watched her make a hasty exit, almost tripping over in the process. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Rosemary asked, "What brought you here?"

"You should tell me why haven’t you been responding to me these past few days?" Romeo asked, ignoring the stares from several girls around him. He touched Rosemary’s face, "You forget all about me when you’re doing your experiments."

Rosemary thought about it. Recently, she had been busy with her research. Either she hadn’t replied to messages in time, or she hadn’t picked up calls, or she had even reduced her nightly video chats.

"Come on, I have something to show you." Romeo took her hand and led her away from the campus. Soon, they arrived at Romeo’s recent place.

Rosemary followed him up to the third floor, where she was surprised that he had transformed the entire floor into a giant transparent lab. The lab was equipped with medical devices purchased by Grandpa Beck at a hefty price and had various advanced equipment. Some of the equipment was even more advanced than what Grandpa Beck had bought.

"What is this?"

"Now you’ll come over more often," Romeo said, pulling her into the lab for a tour. "These equipment are for medication research, analysis, production, etc., and everything here is top–notch."

Rosemary’s eyes swept over the medical equipment. Her heart was pounding. If Grandpa Beck were here, they could start experimenting right away.

Romeo noticed that Rosemary’s eyes were sparkling. She seemed more excited than when she saw him. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy. Were these cold, unfeeling machines that great? Better than him?

Romeo asked, "So, isn’t it time for you to praise me?"

Romeo was hoping for some compliments, but instead, Rosemary tiptoed and kissed him, then she immediately started a system, inputting today’s data for the system to analyze the pros and cons. This system could significantly save her time waiting for results. She had always wanted to buy it but couldn’t bring herself to it due to its high price.

Romeo was taken aback. When he returned to his senses, he saw her inputting strings of data. Every number and every symbol was familiar to her. Even more familiar than his phone number.

Her eyes were especially focused, staring at the screen as if waiting for a result that matched her expectations.

Romeo found his gaze drawn to her until several minutes later, when the system analyzed a bunch of data. Rosemary was overjoyed and couldn’t help but pull out her phone.

"Grandpa Beck, we’ve got the results of our data. TR1 and VO Fashion3 had a series of reactions. This meant our plan is feasible."

The previous three plans had failed, but the latest one had succeeded. Rosemary’s voice was filled with excitement.

"Really? I thought we had to wait a week for the results. How did you find out so soon?"

"We won’t have to wait a week anymore."

The medical equipment Romeo had bought could significantly reduce her experiment time.

Grandpa Beck didn’t quite understand what she meant by "won’t have to wait a week," but when he heard Rosemary’s excitement, he felt excited too, "So, we can proceed with the next plan."

"Yes, if everything goes well, it will be completed soon, and then we can apply to the market."

Rosemary was filled with excitement. Once it went on the market, they could save more people.

After hanging up, Rosemary’s attention returned to the computer screen. Thinking of her private research on Alzheimer’s, she input another string of data, creating a new file in the system.

Romeo, next to her, was just standing there, speechless. While it was quite alluring watching Rosemary engrossed in her work, he didn’t want to be stuck in the lab all day, feeling like some sort of statue.

So, he cleared his throat, "Rose."

"Hold on." Rosemary was completely absorbed in her screen. Only after a while, she asked, "What’s up?"

Romeo glanced at the time. It had already been half an hour since Rosemary had last acknowledged him.

"It’s been half an hour."

Rosemary, "No way?"

Had it really been half an hour? She was just inputting some data. How did time fly so fast?

Seeing his ignored presence, Rosemary decided to save her work and asked, "Alright, what’s on the agenda for today?"

Considering all the equipment he bought for the lab, she planned to accompany him.

"I want to take you somewhere."

Rosemary’s eyes instantly lit up, "More equipment?"

Romeo didn’t expect equipment to have such a high place in her heart, and he felt a bit down, "Just me, do you want or not?"

"That worked too." Rosemary’s enthusiasm faded a bit.

Romeo was speechless. Apparently, he really couldn’t compete with lab equipment.

Leaving the house, Rosemary looked back somewhat reluctantly, "Pick me up tomorrow."

Romeo wanted to be happy about it but then realized she was only coming for the equipment, which made him feel a bit bummed out.

"Once I finish my experiments, I’ll have more time for you." Rosemary seemed to read his mind and smiled at him.

"When you’re done, more experiments will be waiting for you." Romeo knew that for her, there was no end to experiments.

Having a fiancée so passionate about research, he had no choice but to play along.

Just then, a car violently hit theirs. Romeo instinctively shielded Rosemary in his arms. Carl, who was driving, yelled out, "Mr. McMillian, Rosemary, watch out, we are being ambushed."

Another car hit them from behind. Romeo tightly held Rosemary, his eyes filled with rage. He didn’t care about himself, but if the assailants dared to scare Rosemary...

They were surrounded by cars on both sides. Another car was closely pursuing from behind. Carl glanced at the rear–view mirror, then checked the situation on both sides, "Mr. McMillian, Rosemary, buckle up."

They had to force their way out now, or else the consequences of being surrounded were unpredictable. This was the outskirts, and this road was a wasteland with only their cars chasing each other.

Carl swerved the steering wheel, hitting the car on the left, then quickly swerved back, hitting the car on the right. But the car behind them violently hit them back like it was retaliating.

Just then, a large truck appeared in front, blocking their path. Carl slammed the brakes.

Four cars surrounded Romeo’s car, one in front, one behind, and one on each side. Carl hit the emergency button in the car, which connected directly to the head of the security team, sending their real–time location.

"I’ll deal with this. You stay in the car and wait for me. Don’t get out unless I say so." Romeo looked at Rosemary in his arms and softly asked, "You got that?"

"Mhm." Rosemary nodded slightly, but in reality, she hadn’t heard a thing. She didn’t catch anything Romeo had just said.

After Carl and Romeo got out of the car, the people in the other four cars started to get out individually.
