Chapter 1549


    Just like that, Rhea was shut down.


    Fabian and Maria did not know about this, so they looked at her questioningly. "Ree? Is it true? What''s


    the matter? Why didn''t you say anything?"


    "It''s nothing serious. I didn''t expect you to know, Uncle Cameron. I''ve taken care of it," Rhea responded


    lightly after she came back to her senses.


    "Nothing serious?" The corners of Cameron''s lips hooked up. "Everyone from the police station has


    gone there. I heard that they''d searched the institute inside and out. Is it trivial for a grown man to


    disappear in your research institute?"


    Hearing this, Maria''s face turned pale with fright. "What?! Is that true, Ree?! Do people go missing


    there?! Oh gosh, that''s terrifying! You should resign and stop working there. If something happens to


    you one day, your father and I won''t know what to do!"


    Rhea did not botherforting her mother. Instead, she looked at Cameron and continued, "Those are


    just rumors. I thought you were always a clear-headed person, Uncle Cameron. I didn''t expect you to


    buy into that gossip."


    "You''re right. Rumors do spread very fast. However, seeing that you work there, you should know best


    about what is happening."


    The two were trying to get an answer from each other while Fabian and Maria listened but had no idea


    what was happening. They were both stunned by what they heard.


    They didn''t understand what was going on. It sounded like Cameron had an interest in the research


    institute that Rhea was working in.


    "Ree…" Maria was just about to speak, but Rhea did not give her a chance. "Of course I do, but it


    seems you know more than I do. Is the research we''re doing under your supervision?"


    "With my job, I''m always involved one way or another," Cameron answered lightly. Then he turned to


    Maria, who had a bashful look on her face, and said, "Speaking of which, I think you''d know who the


    missing person is."


    "Me? I know him?" Maria pointed at herself in confusion.


    "You mean the miracle doctor that you''ve invited to see Tasia?" Fabian frowned. After thinking for a


    while, he asked, "What did you say his name was?"


    "Austin Fike. You mean Dr. Fike?!" Maria yelled so loud that her voice cracked.


    "Yes. That''s what I heard." Cameron nodded.


    "How could it be?!" She almost jumped up but was quickly held down by Fabian. After calming herself


    down, she mumbled, "Actually, there is a possibility. I tried calling him just now, but his phone is off. D-


    Did something happen to him?"


    "Maybe." Cameron nodded thoughtfully. Then with one hand on his temple, the frown on his face


    deepened. "His parents reported him missing to the police, and they even followed the police force

    there. I don''t think it''s fake."


    "Oh dear, how could such a thing happen? That''s terrible!" Maria was trembling all over, clearly


    terrified.


    Then she turned around and grabbed Rhea''s arm. "Ree just quit the job! Just stop doing those


    experiments! If one day, you… Oh my! I can''t bear to think about it. Hurry up and resign! Scratch that!


    Just call in and say that you quit!"


    Rhea, being shaken by her mother like that, immediately frowned and shook her off. "Oh, that man


    didn''t disappear from our premises. The police didn''t find him, and there''s no evidence of his


    disappearance."
