Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 448

Maureen: "Oh, she probably wants to sleep for a while more. Let's eat first! Come on!"

Brenda was speechless.

She said in a daze, "There's no need. I'm meeting someone for lunch. I'll get going."

After she left the Smiths, she still felt dizzy.

The moment Brenda left, there was finally some movement on the bed upstairs.

Nora opened her eyes in a daze and took out her phone. She saw that there were a few missed calls on her phone.

They were all from Morris.

She hesitated for a moment before calling him. Morris picked up quickly. "Miss Smith, our department has formed a special team to investigate the human trial back then. Now, I would like to invite you to be our team's external forensic doctor. Are you interested?"

Nora stretched and was about to answer that she was not interested when she heard Morris say, "Don't you want to know what exactly happened to your mother back then? Also, I have some very important information about you. I wanted to inform you that you're actually in a lot of danger!"

These words made Nora narrow her eyes.

She recalled her mother's words. "...You have to be mediocre, or your life will be in danger!"

What kind of danger could she be in?!

Morris continued, "Of course, if you can join us, I'll tell you some secrets about the case!"

When Nora heard this, she lowered her almond-shaped eyes. "Tell me first."

"...Alright."

Nora could hear the resignation in his voice, but joining a team, though? First, she would have to see whether the team was good enough or not.

Otherwise, they could forget about wasting any of her sleeping time.

She leaned against the headboard with her legs folded and said, "Speak."

Morris slowly said, "1 have almost found out why your mother fled back then."

His one-liner made Nora focus at once. "Why?"

Morris said coldly, "The organization was conducting human trials back then. We still don't know what exactly they were researching, but after the boxing champion Abigail's incident, we heavily suspect it to be a drug that can enhance the human body's agility and physical strength!"

To be honest, Nora had suspected as much for a long while now. After all, she had heard from Quentin that Victor was just a nobody gangster two years ago. How could he possibly become a peerless martial arts master in just two years' time?

He must have taken some kind of drug that could enhance his physique.

However, once produced, such drugs would surely be mass-manufactured, right? It wasn't like it was poison, so why were they being so mysterious about it?

Perhaps because he could hear the doubt in her voice, Morris gave her the answer. "Victor suddenly went crazy in the cell."

Surprised, Nora asked, "You mean..."

"That's right." Morris nodded. "The drug has huge side effects that affect a person's nervous system. That's why the drug has been a prohibited substance all this time."

Nora cast her eyes down and asked, "So, what does this have to do with my mother?"

Morris took a deep breath. "Do you know how we found out about the drug research organization's existence?"

He wasn't really counting on Nora to answer, so he went on and said, "We encountered a similar case many years ago. Some people took drugs that can strengthen their bodies, and then... they suddenly died. We extracted the chemical components in their blood at that time.

Together with the chemical components in Victor's body this time, we can conclude that they have indeed been researching the same drug all this time, but have never succeeded. Don't you find it strange, though? They have been studying the drug for more than twenty years, yet the chemical composition hasn't changed much. It was just a matter of how much of each chemical they used in the formula. Are they really so certain that the formula is correct?"

Nora shook her head. "No, they won't do that."

She also made medicines herself, so she understood the underlying issues very well.

If one had theories about a drug, they would definitely test it out and adjust its content. However, if they didn't succeed even after many attempts, they would give up.

But why were they being so persistent?

Unless...
