Chapter 549

Three seconds later, his astonished expression was quickly hidden by his lowered gaze.

The blue-and-white porcelain teacup was slightly clenched in his hand, and a steady voice slowly spilled out of his throat, "There will always be a way."

Albert Green’s smile was bitter, saying, "In my life, I have saved many people. She is the only one I most want to save but have the least confidence in saving. The new medicine will be out soon, but I can’t guarantee its effectiveness. Maybe it will be like before, only treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

He smiled faintly, looking at Alexander Foster and said, "If that’s the case, it’s not as powerful as you, Mr. Foster. Why take medicine when the pain can be relieved by just holding you? Long-term medication can have a significant negative impact on a person’s health."

Alex’s heartstrings trembled again, his breathing a little tighter.

He smiled lightly and spoke casually, "I am neither medicine nor god. How can holding me cure the illness? It’s just because... of what I possess."

He slowly said the last part of the sentence, his eyes locking onto Albert Green’s gaze with a scrutinizing meaning.

Albert Green chuckled twice, completely letting go of his guard and said openly, "At first, I really thought it was magical. You see, this girl’s heartache had to be alleviated by medicine every time, but it spontaneously eased when she was near you. At the beginning, we also thought it was fantastical. Later, I asked her to confirm with you several times before I believed it."

Alex suddenly recalled the blind date at Restaurant Victoria when Chloe Collins had actively embraced him.

So that’s how it was.

At this point, Albert Green’s laughter came again, "I was wondering how could it be so mysterious? Later, Chlo-Chlo told me that it was because you often take medicinal baths, and the smell of the medicine on your body helps to relieve her heartache. So, I immediately added the few herbs you used for your medicinal baths, hoping they would be effective."

Alex fell silent for a long time, his thoughts deepening.

Albert Green said, "These two days, I’ve been really worried. She said the medicine I gave her before isn’t working as well, so I wanted you to go there. On one hand, you could take care of her, and on the other, you could test if you can still relieve her pain."

He looked at Alex, regretfully saying, "We just haven’t been able to find your aunt’s research manual. If we could, we might have more hope."

"Well, I know your aunt pretty well. She’s suspicious and doesn’t trust people easily. It’s normal for Chloe not to be able to find it in your house," he commented.

Alex’s doubts were all dispelled one by one. He said, "Experimental manual? Try hard to find it; it should be there."

Albert Green exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Chlo-Chlo didn’t tell me about it!"

Alex looked directly at him, "Hmm, because she hadn’t been honest with me."

Albert Green’s smile gradually disappeared.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds later.

His whole body softened.

He, a man over forty, was actually being played by a young man in his twenties?

Moreover, it was about something significant!

Chlo-Chlo, including her mother, had repeatedly warned not to tell anybody!

"Well, Mr. Foster, don’t blame the child; blame me. It was my idea to let her go to your house," Albert Green said urgently.

Alex ignored his shocked expression and said, "I don’t want her to know about today’s conversation. You continue your research as if you had never met me this time."

Albert Green didn’t understand his meaning.

"Mr. Foster, since you already know, don’t you plan to talk it over with Chlo-Chlo?"

Alex said indifferently, "I have my own plans."

Having said that, he looked at Albert Green and continued, "Now, I want to know the ins and outs of this matter."
