I immediately looked at Dr. Boone. For some reason, I felt nervous and uneasy when I saw the serious expression on his face. I couldn't shake the feeling that something big was going to happen.
Dr. Boone's expression looked grim as he said seriously, "We already received Ms. Bardot's investment funds."
I thought it was good news when they received the investment funds, but I wondered why Dr. Boone's expression didn't look good. Could it be that something had happened?
At the thought of this, I immediately asked with a serious attitude, "What happened? Take your time and tell me."
Hearing this, Dr. Boone sighed heavily and said helplessly, "Ms. Bardot didn't invest much this time. The amount is only half of what she invested before. We should be thankful for the investment. After all, she donated the money without any conditions.
"However, we are researching a special drug right now, and we need a lot of supplies, so half of the investment isn't enough. We are worried about how to get the remaining money…"
Dr. Boone didn't finish what he wanted to say, and he looked very gloomy.
I understood their difficulties, so I patted him on the shoulder and promised, "Don't worry. Let me worry about the remaining money."
Lana's condition was serious. Apart from her, thousands of children with this disease were waiting for treatment. I should seize this opportunity to help them develop the special drug because it would benefit countless children and families.
Dr. Boone looked at me with gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Gebb!"
He held my hand tightly and thanked me. "If we can get the investment, we'll do our best to develop the special drug as soon as possible."
When Kayla was very ill, I went to see her to ask for money, and that was how she treated me.
Even when my biological sister needed money for surgery, Abigail turned a blind eye and ignored my request. She acted as if she didn't care at all.
Coincidentally, on the day that I arrived at the company, Hanson gave me a task as soon as he heard my request.
"Samuel, I know things have been hard for you lately, and I feel for you. If you're facing any difficulties, just tell me. I'll do my best to help you."
