Chapter 1563


    Philip''s grip tightened even more. Initially, he considered epting it on the spot.


    The prestige of a chairman was worth a nation''s fortune. With unrestricted ess to the research


    base''s pharmaceuticals, there wasn''t a goal he couldn''t achieve. Wasn''t this what he had been chasing


    all along?


    But hesitation crept into his heart, causing him to pause for a few seconds. Ten secondster, he lifted


    his eyes gently to meet Isaac''s gaze.


    "Professor, I got it."


    A smile curled at the corners of Isaac''s lips. She knew it; Philip was always the type to go all in. After


    all, it was just a matter of family. Phil had always had such a low profile that his presence was hardly


    worth acknowledging.


    Isaac patted Philip''s shoulder reassuringly, "Go on with your work."


    Philip turned away, a shadow of discontent on his face. His gaze fell on Ian, who was passing by


    without a nce in his direction.


    The protective suits they wore were so bulky, and with the goggles, it was impossible to see his eyes.


    Yet Philip''s stare lingered on Ian for a moment before slowly withdrawing.


    Ian moved on, only to bump into someone heading his way.


    It was a face identical to Philip''s, and this was the first time Ian had seen the two brothers together. He


    recalled his time with Philip in Greenfield, oblivious to any switch between them.


    The resemnce was uncanny, like a copy-paste in human form.


    However, Phil''s expression was one of simplicity, not noticing Ian but instead focusing on Philip in the


    distance and calling out cheerfully, "Philip!"


    Philip stood rooted, feeling a surge of annoyance at the sight of that face. The research base had no


    need for a nk te. When would this man grow up?


    "Philip, what do you think about this?" Phil approached, holding something in his hand. Upon closer


    inspection, Philip found it was an insect.


    Such creatures were rare at the facility, where the focus was on human subjects, not animals. Philip''s


    face contorted with anger, snatching the bug and crushing it under his foot.


    "At twenty-seven, what are you doing ying with bugs? Do you think you''re still a kid?"


    Phil''s smile copsed, reced by a cautious demeanor.


    Philip only felt frustrated; he took a deep breath to calm himself, "From now on, every moment of every


    day, you y me."


    In the next second, Phil''s expression shifted to one of warmth and sharpness. His ability to mimic was


    so precise that Philip felt as if he were looking into a mirror.


    At the same time, a sense of loss washed over him. He opened his mouth to speak but said nothing.


    After all, this was his own demand.


    Ian returned to the coreb to find Sarah maintained the posture she had before he left, still engrossed


    in her work, standing at the bench performing various experiments.


    As he approached, she motioned for him to pass her a test tube.


    "The pile of drugs on your left is toxic. Just a whiff could knock you out for days, so be careful." She


    said in her ever-detached tone, "The ones on your right could cause hallucinations. Don''t mess with


    any of them."


    Ian noted the key information - there were drugs here that could induceas and hallucinations. He


    With that, she just turned and left.


    In less than ten minutes, she was asleep; once again, she had the dream, one filled with images she


    cherished. Her face softened in sleep. Read at NovelDrama.Org


    "Boys should carry the heavier burdens while girls take the lighter ones."


    "Maja, be good. Mommy''s here. Don''t be afraid."


    "Remember this thing; it might help you one day."


    The sleeping woman''s lips curved into a smile, the sharpness of her being slowly fading away.
