Watching as Xavia continued praying, Nathan was prompted to say, “Don’t worry, once his legs recover, I’ll play him the recording from that night. Following that, things will finally settle again… I’m sure of it!”
Unbeknownst to the duo, Rhea had been overhearing their conversation from a corner! Gritting her teeth, she knew that if she didn’t sabotage their plan, then all would truly be lost… She needed to act! Fast…!
Fast forward to about two hours later, the babies began wailing again, and Xavia was quick to head back to the ward to breastfeed them again. Around the same time, the leading professor needed a break, and seeing that as her chance, Rhea was quick to put on a surgical gown…
Upon entering the surgical room’s break area, she handed the professor the bottle of water and a sandwich that she had brought in before saying, “Here, Professor. You’ll need the energy… How’s the surgery going?”
After taking a big gulp, the professor sighed before replying, “Have you forgotten who you’re talking to? That aside, he gave the plan the green light too, so it’s only a matter of time before he fully heals.”
“T-that’s great to hear! It’ll be nice to see him at the lab again, though… I wonder if he’ll be able to concentrate if he’s still so entangled with his wife…”
“I wouldn’t worry too much about him. He’s stronger than he seems, you know?”
“You say that, but he attempted suicide last night!”
“…Come again? But why? We had a proper talk yesterday!”
Since the professor didn’t immediately deny her suggestion, Rhea was quick to add, “A-anyway, regardless of your choice, I’m glad that you’re the one performing the surgery for him… You’re both idols of mine, and I’m sure everything will eventually work out!”
Following that, she ran off, leaving the professor feeling slightly troubled. After all, Zivon was the professor’s top student, and he was also a significant individual when it came to the world of research… For such a great person to fall just because of a disloyal woman… It truly was a pity.
That aside, Rhea was right about his granddaughter’s crush on Zivon, though… Was he seriously going to do this just for his granddaughter’s sake? More stakes were at play here, and with how powerful Zivon was, he could easily end his life if he found out about the tampering…
Just how should he proceed with this…?
