Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife -
Chapter 453
Chapter 453: Chapter 453
If Logan and Taylor left, the old man would be even lonelier.
Usually, he was alone, with no one to talk to.
"He gave us a lot of money at that time. What’s left, we have to return to him," Taylor didn’t want to take advantage of him.
"Then give me his phone number. I will call him later. If he doesn’t answer, I will deliver the money to him."
Rosemary said softly, "Give me the address."
"Okay. Just tell him that we sent you to express our apologies. Say that we really had something come up and didn’t stand him up on purpose." Taylor felt truly sorry.
Rosemary noted down the phone number and address, then said to Clark, "Clark, you stay here later and see them off to the airport."
"Okay."
At this moment, Rosemary’s phone started vibrating again. It was a call from Grandpa Beck.
"Rose, what have you been up to lately? You haven’t visited the lab in a while. The results from the P31 research are out, and I was planning to start the next experiment with you."
Rosemary moved to the window and spoke gently, "Grandpa Beck, I’m abroad at the moment, dealing with some things."
"What? You’re overseas?" Grandpa Beck’s eyes widened. "Didn’t you say there were a few factions looking for you? Isn’t going abroad like walking into a trap? Come back quickly! Nothing is more important than your safety! Are you short on money? I have plenty, and I’ll give it all to you."
"The few factions have quieted down a lot recently." Rosemary smiled. "Don’t worry, I can take care of myself. It’s not about money—I’m just looking for someone."
"You’re safer in the lab." Grandpa Beck was always worried that if Rosemary were too public, it would cause more trouble.
Before, when people didn’t know her identity, she could go abroad for some errands. But now, she was the target of many people.
"I know. I’ll be back as soon as possible," Rosemary reassured him.
"I’ll start on other experiments first, and we’ll research this together when you return. Let me tell you, if this turns out as we expect, it will be a world-shattering achievement in medical science. Your name will be worth its weight in gold, and your future will be limitless."
"That’s all thanks to your efforts, Grandpa." Rosemary didn’t claim the credit but said, "You’re the one who spends the most time in the lab and forgets to eat or sleep because of the research."
"I’m planning to retire after this project and spend my old age in the countryside."
Grandpa Beck also felt that he was more willing than able. "I’m getting old. While I still can, I want to contribute more to society, help those who are sick, and reduce some pain."
The image of his wife’s death was still fresh in his mind. It still pierced his heart and caused him great pain.
If only there had been a cure for certain incurable diseases earlier, his wife wouldn’t have had to leave him.
Now, once the medical achievement he and Rose made came out, it would save countless people and spare countless families from suffering.
He had experienced the pain of losing a loved one and didn’t want others to go through the same.
"Are you thinking about Grandma again?" Rosemary knew that, at this moment, he must be thinking of his wife.
"When we get these projects done, I can brag about it to your grandma in the underworld and let her praise me."
Grandpa Beck chuckled over the phone. "Alright, keep up your work, but try to return home as soon as possible. It’s a different ball game outside, not like here back in the States."
Here in the States, she had her own influence, the backing of a few influential grandfathers, and Romeo’s power.
All of these could ensure her safety.
But abroad? That was a different story.
Rosemary flashed a small smile. "Alright, I got it."
After hanging up the call, Rosemary saw two messages from Jack on her phone.
[Boss, those four guys at Villa Cascada aren’t eating or drinking. They’re trying to off themselves at every chance they get. If it weren’t for your life-saving injection, they’d probably be dead by now.]
[We’ve tried everything, but they won’t spill a single word. What should we do?]
They had tried both physical and psychological torture, but these guys were tough. They didn’t let out a peep.
Rosemary’s slender fingers typed in response:
[Won’t spill? Didn’t they already? Those obscure, insignificant organizations would have blabbed everything they know under such pressure.]
She added:
[To prefer death over revealing a single word, only a handful of organizations here and abroad would have such loyalty.]
Jack replied almost instantly:
[Right, I can start investigating these few organizations first. Maybe we’ll find a lead.]
[Get me the results of the other investigations as soon as possible.] Rosemary didn’t want to waste time.
[Roger that, boss! I’ll hurry.]
After responding to the messages, Rosemary looked up at Clark.
"Clark, come out for a moment."
Clark, who had been softly comforting the elderly couple, stood up and walked outside upon hearing his sister’s words.
"Romeo just called me. He said that about a month ago, someone saw Carol in the Triangular Zone."
"What did you say?" Clark gripped his sister’s shoulder in excitement. "Are you sure? Could there be a mistake?"
"Romeo’s information is usually reliable."
Clark was ecstatic. "Then what are we waiting for? As soon as the folks board the plane, we should head over to the Triangular Zone."
"Let’s not act rashly," Rosemary said calmly. "I’ve already promised Romeo that we’ll meet him there tomorrow."
"Can’t we go today?" Clark was impatient, wishing he could fly over to the Triangular Zone right now and search every nook and cranny for his beloved Carol.
"We can go tonight."
Because it would take about ten hours to fly there, and by the time they reached, it would already be the next day.
Clark tried to suppress his excitement but was also worried. "That place is a notorious lawless area. Carol will definitely be in danger there. I don’t know who she’s with or if she’s alone. Rose, the people there are not good!"
He was extremely concerned about Carol’s safety.
Rosemary thought: Clark, are you talking about me? Am I not a good person?
"Every single one of them is no good!" Clark expressed his worry. "Shouldn’t we go there right now? "
