Shelton didn't take my words seriously. Standing in front of me, he said, "I'm fully devoted to your business. And I once said that it couldn't be more natural for me to do these things for you."
He stood there, blocking the white light in the corridor behind him. And the look in his eyes was as gentle as before.
For a moment, I mustered up the courage and asked, "Did you do anything illegal or not? I eavesdropped on Grandpa Cowell's conversation before. According to him, it is he who helped you settle what you had done before..."
Hearing what I said, Shelton, who had been calm, was somewhat swayed. After a while, he said, "Let's get into the car first."
On the way downstairs, I walked behind him. Looking at his tall figure, I guessed randomly as to what he was going to say later.
I felt the journey seemed to be quite long.
Finally, we arrived at the underground garage.
We got in the car. Shelton started the car first, turned on the heating system, and turned to me, "I used to release medicines that failed to complete the third period of clinical trials because of funding problems."
In fact, I didn't quite understand his words. Looking at him, I blinked my eyes, "Will it cause any consequence?"
"As for whether the consequences it caused probably will be serious or not, it depends on the specific situation." Shelton paused, raised his hand to sort out my messy hair, and continued, "Fortunately, the side effect of my drug isn't serious. In the follow-up sales, it proves that it can pass even though it didn't go through the third period of clinical trials."
"Oh, I see..."
"But I was lucky that time. I won't do it in the future."
Shelton looked at me with determination as well as gentleness in his eyes.
"However, he was so good at disguising himself that I wasn't sure whether he was lying to me or not sometimes.
After all, he disguised himself so well.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Shelton smiled more brightly and said, "I know you don't believe me. I will prove it with my actions. Because only in this way will you give yourself to me wholeheartedly, right?" "Yes..." I nodded.
It seemed that this was the only way.
The next day, with Ryan keeping an eye on Jessica, I spent the whole day making two sets of clothes for the dolls.
Although they weren't perfect in some ways, they were barely presentable.
The next day, with Shelton having something to do, I went to see Jessica alone.
I arrived at the ward. Before I could enter the ward, through the glass at the door, I saw that the outer room of the ward had changed.
The outer room, which had been previously empty, now lay a desk.
On the desk, there lay writing brushes, ink sticks, paper, and inkstones.
At this time, holding a brush in his hands, Ryan was drawing on a piece of paper. With the dolls in her arms, Jessica watched him on the side carefully.
After standing outside for a while, I pushed the door open and went in.
As soon as the door was pushed open, both of them looked at me at the same time, especially Jessica, whom I hadn't seen for two days. Looking as skinny as ever, she looked much better.
Seeing me, she grinned.
It meant that she remembered me.
Her eyes looked clear and bright. And she didn't look like a patient at all.
I walked over and held the bag in my hands, "Aunt Jessica, see what I brought to you."
Without saying anything, Jessica kept staring at the bag in my hands with doubts in her eyes.
Putting down the pen and placing it on the pen holder, Ryan said happily, "Did you bring any good stuff?"
I went to the sofa. Only after Jessica sat down did I take out four sets of clothes and said to her, "Check these cute clothes I made. Do you like them?"
Jessica saw the clothes and nodded with joy on her face. Then she reached out to take the clothes over with tears in her eyes.
