Chapter 601


    In the car…


    Ste was holding the slept little guy in her arms, wondering where she would be led to this time.


    After half an hour, the car stopped in front of a white building.


    The driver opened the door from the outside.


    Ste got out of the car, nced at the man walking ahead of her. She then looked down at the little


    guy in her arms thinking about what might happen, and simply followed up.


    After entering the white building, Ste found that this might be aboratory, for it was filled with high-


    tech instruments everywhere.


    While she was observing theyout of theboratory, a man in a white coat wearing gold-framed


    sses and a mask walked up to them, “Oh, wow… Why are you here?”


    Judging from the voice, it was the guy who brought her here.


    The man nced at her, not very friendly, “I am the one who’s going to ask the question. And why the


    hell do you bring them to my ce?”


    The boy grinned and said, “Come on, I have a guest here. It is impolite to not let my guest stay in a


    shabby hotel.”


    Ste added, “The way you brought me here is not very polite.”


    The boy didn''t feel embarrassed, but reached out to her, “Well, since what’s done is done, let''s forget


    what has happened before. d to meet you, my name is Archer James.”


    At this time, the little guy woke up, arched in Ste''s arms, and groaned.


    Archer said, “Let me hold him please, and I will take him to do a detailed inspection. It was supposed to


    be done tomorrow. But since you guys are all here, we shouldn’t waste any time.”


    Ste hesitated for a few seconds, but held the little guy even tightly, “I''ming with you.”


    Archer pointed at the man next to her, “He''ll be here. If I run away with your baby, you can get even


    with him.”


    The man ignored him and walked to the window.


    Archer whispered again, “Well, ourboratory usually does not allow outsiders to enter, and all the


    inspections are also very cumbersome. It is not that you are not allowed toe with me, but


    inconvenient for both you and me.”


    Ste said, “Fine, but you need to give me my phone.”


    Archer searched around his body, “Damn, I left the phone in the car. I''ll ask them to bring it to you in no


    time.”


    Ste looked at the window, “What is the rtion between him and you?”


    “He is my cousin.”


    Ste gave the child to him without looking at him.


    After Archer left with the little guy in his arms, Ste walked to the window and slowly called out the


    name, “Darnell?”


    The man turned his head around and lifted his eyebrows slightly, looking surprised.


    He leaned on the window, “I don’t remember I have ever told you my name.”


    When Ste was calling out the name, she wasn’t sure about his name.


    She had never thought the ruthless monster that Daniel had talked about before is the man in front of


    her. How could he be the one who had been such a cruel demon and a horrible enemy in others’ eyes?


    But when he was still in the hallway, his staff called him Master James, and she could tell that he was


    Darnell.


    And, judging from what Archer said just now, she could confirm that he is that man.


    Ste said, “I really didn''t know what on earth you want to do.”

    “What do you mean about that?”


    “Everything.”


    Darnellughed, in a very faint voice, “If you are referring to me bringing you to Riverside, I can tell you


    the reason. But if you want to know something else, I can''t tell you anything.”


    Ste frowned, “Why?”


    “How can I tell you something that I didn’t do?”


    “You didn’t do...” Ste thought for a while, “You mean, what happened before and things about the


    Conrad family have nothing to do with you?”


    Darnell''s expression remained unchanged, “I''m not that nasty.”


    Ste said, “Since you didn''t do it, why are you hiding from rence?”


    “Do you trust me?”


    Ste said calmly, “No, not quite.”


    Darnell said calmly, “How could he believe me if you don’t even trust me? I''m not hiding from him. I am


    just trying to avoid unnecessary troubles before everything is solved.”


    Ste was silent for a while, “What do you mean ‘if I don’t even trust you’?”


    “I mean what you are thinking right now.”


    Ste fell into silence, “...”


    After a few seconds, Ste said, “If you did not do those things as you said, then why all the evidence


    points to Riverside and points to you.”


    “Obviously, someone intendedly shifts the me onto me.”


    Upon hearing this, Ste frowned.


    Shift the me onto him?


    Was there such a possibility?


    If that was the case, then who was manipting all this?


    She pursed her lips and continued, “Then can you answer me the question of why you brought us to


    Riverside?”


    Darnell said, “First, now that all the shreds of evidence are indicating I am the guilty one, I have no


    reason to sit still. Second, the nutritional injection was developed from the Riverside Pharmaceutical


    Factory, and I have the responsibility to finish the aftermath.”


    “Nutrition Needle was indeed developed by the Riverside Pharmaceutical Factory, but you didn''t give it


    to Joanna. Is this what you mean?”


    “Yes.”


    “Can you find out who gave it to her now?”


    “That batch of nutritional needles supposed to be destroyed two years ago. All those who participated


    in the research and development of the injection have been investigated, and there is no clue.”


    Hearing that, Ste thought of the most critical question, “How did you bring us here?”


    rence''s agent has been guarding the ward. They will never let any stranger get close to the ward.


    Thinking of this, Ste suddenly realized, “City N...no, you have someone in rence’s control?”


    Darnell said, “This is not the question that I can answer you.”


    Although he didn''t tell Ste anything, she could tell that she was right about this.


    Otherwise, they would not be able to take her and the child away so smoothly.


    She is still in a mess for the moment. What happened in City N before is somehow rted to the


    Riverside, including the sudden illness of the little guy. She was even thinking they and Joanna have


    reached some kind of deal.


    But now Darnell said that he was framed by others.


    Ste couldn’t believe this instinctively, but they seem to have no hostility.


    And the condition of the little guy was indeed improved in the past two days.


    She couldn''t tell the truth at all for a while.


    An hourter, Archer took the child out and put it in Ste''s arms, but he was not as rxed as before.


    Darnell said, “How is his condition?”


    “Not so good, it is more serious than Adam.”


    “Is the newly developed drug useful for him?”


    “It can somehow work, but the effect is not that good. This medicine can only slow down the process.


    This medicine can’t cure it.”


    Ste felt a bit astringent in her throat, and asked in a dumb voice, “Is there any other way?”


    Archer looked at her and smiled, “Don''t be so nervous, there must be a countermethod. Besides, as


    you can see, the entire R&D team is working overtime for it. We haven''t even rested for two or three


    days. The little guy will be fine.”


    Ste was stunned. She did not expect that everyone in thisboratory was busy for it.


    From this point of view, it seems like the whole incident wasn’t because of them.
