Chapter 249


    Adrian shook his head when he heard this. “Poor girl.”


    Kendall handed the cup of coffee to Adrian, who said, “All right, enough about her. Let’s talk about you


    instead. The research team was disbanded after my father died, and you’re under threat of being


    attacked right now.


    “Are you really just going to give up? After all, cancer tortures the lives of many.”


    Kendall remained silent for a while before he said, “That’s your father’s dream and has nothing to do


    with me.”

    “Are you sure it’s not your dream too? I refuse to believe you will willingly abandon it all,” Adrian said.


    Kendall trembled when he heard this, his eyes turning slightly red.


    Perhaps there were a lot of unspeakable things pent up inside his heart, or he had his reasons for not


    wanting to say anything.


    Kendall lit up another cigarette and said, “Do you know what it feels like to watch your colleague die in


    ab as a deeply experienced cancer researcher?


    “It’s my fault that your father is dead, Adrian. I was the one who suggested we research the virus, and I


    was the lead researcher on that project. If I hadn’t suggested running those tests, Henry would still be


    alive today.”


    Kendall began to tear up. He clutched his head and cried, “I’m the reason he’s dead. I didn’t know


    Richie would open that sealed vial and cause Henry to be infected.


    1 wanted to save him, but he had already bolted the door when I arrived. I could only watch as he


    suffered in agony through the ss,pletely powerless to help him.”


    “Did you get those scars from that incident?”


    Kendall nodded.


    “I noticed the moment Richie opened up the vial and wanted to rush in there to help Henry. I got


    infected by traces of the virus when I opened the door, but Henryter locked himself inside.


    “I was able to keep the virus inside me under control, but your father was too severely infected. I was


    unable to do anything to help him.


    “That’s why after he died, I swore never to conduct any more experiments and left the medical world.”


    Kendall puffed on his cigarette, his eyes carrying a sense of helplessness.


    Adrian patted him on the back. “This isn’t your fault, so you shouldn’t me yourself, My wife would like


    to resume those ns once more. She’s already gotten the documents my father left behind, and all


    that’s left is for you to join us.


    “The members of the team aren’t mature enough, so they need your leadership skills. We need your


    help, Ken,” Adrian implored, but Kendall shook his head.


    Kendall heaved a long sigh and said, “Stop trying to persuade me to join, Adrian. I’ve already made my


    decision, so please stop disturbing my life. I’m doing quite well right now.”


    “Don’t you wish to pick up your old profession again for Juno’s sake?”


    Kendall was instantly stunned, while Adrian stood up and said, “You said it yourself, Ken. Juno is a


    cripple, but you might be able to change that now that Paraiso has the most advanced medical facilities


    to offer.


    “Give it some thought. I’ll be back tomorrow.”


    And with that, Adrian patted Kendall on the back and left, leaving thetter stunned. ‘For Juno’s sake…‘
