Khloe quickly packed her belongings into her bag, then called over a waiter to order a dessert. Only after finishing it did she stand up and leave.
She had asked Lucas to investigate the research project on T7 that Nick's attending physician had mentioned. It was indeed a new extract developed in Naraida that could reverse the spread of cancer cells. The clinical data looked impressive.
However, the source of the extract had been deliberately erased. Using all available channels, Lucas had only managed to uncover two words: Biological extraction.
Khloe stared at that reply for a long moment, a faint unease creeping up her spine.
A biological extract—what kind of organism required its information to be hidden so thoroughly?
But she didn't have the mind to think further about it now.
As she stepped out of the café, that same feeling of being watched returned.
She turned back.
The bustling street behind her showed no one paying her any attention.
The bodyguards and assistant waiting in the corner walked over, and upon noticing her searching gaze, immediately became alert as well.
"Madam, is there a problem?" one of them asked.
Khloe said nothing.
She glanced at the time. She had been out for quite a while. Nick's treatment should also be about to end. It was time to go back.
"Have you bought everything for Nick?" she asked, withdrawing her gaze.
The bodyguards lifted the shopping bags in their hands, revealing a full set of high-end ingredients. She had said she would cook for Nick tonight, so she had come out personally to buy the ingredients. However, once they arrived near the shopping center, Khloe had sent her subordinates away with a list and slipped into the café for a short break.
Just as she was preparing to get into the car—
"Someone help! Help! That elderly woman looks like she's having an episode!"
A panicked cry suddenly came from behind her.
Not far away, an old woman had collapsed on the ground. A few passersby stood around her, and the one shouting for help was among them.
