Chapter 1687
Alexander Foster walked a few steps and entered a room, which beca much quieter.
"Yeah, we plan to first halt the vaccine production and conduct a thorough investigation."
"That’s the only way now. Valleys will probably get wind of this soon. Be careful."
"I’ll be fine." His gaze softened as he focused on her face and smiled, "Have you eaten?"
"No, waiting for you to co back."
His eyes filled with apology, "I can’t co back tonight. You should rest early. As for Mother-in-law, I’ve already sent people over, and Chad Lowell has also brought a team there. Don’t worry too much."
Chloe Collins touched her stomach, feeling a bit uneasy.
At such a critical mont, she felt tied up and unable to exert her strength.
Alex seed to see what was on her mind. His hand reached out through the screen to touch her face, he said softly, "Don’t worry, I’m here."
Chloe Collins couldn’t help but smile, and the urgency in her heart was suppressed by his words.
That night, he did not return, and by the early hours of the next morning, there was still no sign of him.
Chloe Collins didn’t sleep well, thinking of the child, so she closed her eyes to sleep.
By morning, she woke up late and saw that it was already past eight o’clock.
Evelyn Thompson had soone bring up breakfast for her and asked her about her health as usual.
She knew Evelyn Thompson was so concerned about her because she hadn’t been careful during her own pregnancy with Alex, hadn’t heeded the old man’s advice, and had run around wildly, leading to difficulties during childbirth. That’s why she always cooperated with her.
After breakfast, she asked about Alex’s situation.
Evelyn Thompson said, "Everything is under their control. Don’t worry."
She looked at Evelyn Thompson’s expression and couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, but her sixth sense told her sothing had happened.
In the end, she still couldn’t get anything out of Evelyn Thompson.
After breakfast, she went downstairs for a walk, with Evelyn Thompson still by her side.
During this ti, she called Alex.
They spoke for two minutes, everything seed calm.
Evelyn Thompson didn’t let them talk for so long and took away the phone.
"Right, they’re fine. Co on, Mom has peeled so grapes for you. Eat a few."
She placed a small plate of peeled grapes in front of Chloe Collins, her smile tender and gentle.
Chloe Collins picked up a grape and ate it, suddenly feeling a change in the wind and sky above, the weather turned overcast.
"Oh, it was clear just a mont ago, but now it looks like it’s going to rain. Quick, help the Young Mistress inside." Evelyn Thompson ordered the helpers nearby.
As two people were about to take Chloe Collins inside, she looked uneasy and stared directly at one side of the wall.
The next second, she said, "Soone has broken in."
No sooner had she spoken than two raggedy, blood-stained people leaped over the wall, their eyes dark and tainted, completely devoid of reason.
They gave everyone in the courtyard quite a scare.
Evelyn Thompson nearly fainted from fear but managed to keep her composure and instructed soone to call the security guard while she protected Chloe Collins behind her, her frail arms spread in front of her, facing the two intruders with a stern expression.
Chloe Collins, however, just grabbed the two n casually, and they were lifted into the air by an unseen force, hanging stiffly, struggling with all their might but unable to break free.
The panicked crowd watching this was stunned into silence, and the braver ones no longer feared, coming forward with a shovel intended for loosening soil, ready to lend a hand.
Chloe Collins spoke calmly, "Go get the white box from the drawer in my room."
