Chapter 284

The manager led Chris into the private room, asked if he was allergic to anything and his preferences, then politely left after taking the order.

After less than 10 minutes, the door opened again, and Chris met Felix for the first time.

It was said that Felix looked very much like his late sister, though one looked more masculine and the other feminine.

According to genetics, this was possible, and Chris had already imagined Felix’s appearance based on Natalie’s looks.

“Mr. Green, I’ve heard a lot about you,” said Felix, exactly as Chris had expected – graceful and charming.

Chris stood and shook his hand. “Mr. Lawson.”

Felix gestured for him to sit, then sat opposite him.

“Actually, this isn’t our first meeting. I was also at the Rose Manor banquet, but we didn’t have the chance to meet or properly introduce ourselves then.”

That event was for a new drug promotion; all the hospitals in the city attended, including the Lawson family’s.

“About Natalie’s internship application, I—”

Before Chris could finish, Felix smiled and raised his hand to interrupt. “I understand your concerns. My niece is indeed being a little inappropriate. She was doing well interning at the Fourth Infirmary but suddenly wants to come to the Summit Infirmary, causing you trouble. I’ve already talked to her about this. I’ve spoiled her too much.”

Seeing Felix’s understanding, Chris relaxed.

“To be honest, Natalie really isn’t suitable for an internship at the Summit Infirmary. Our hospital’s workload is very demanding.”

“Yes, Natalie can’t handle that kind of hardship,” said Felix, his eyes full of indulgence as he spoke of his niece. “Today’s meeting is to hope we can have a good cooperative relationship. Merisee, the drug imported from Lonat, is exclusive to our hospitals.”

Merisee was a special heart medicine that relieved angina without side effects.

The clinical trial phase had good results, and Chris and Francesca had been keeping a close watch.

In Impelia, only two hospitals cooperated with Merisee. One was the Summit Infirmary, which Indya had long negotiated with, and the other was the Lawson family.

That evening at home, Jessica glanced at Chris and casually asked, “How was your meeting with Felix today?”

“Not bad.” Chris nodded. “Different from what I expected. No wonder he has such a good reputation in the industry. We share similar views in medicine. He’s worth keeping in touch with.”

Jessica lowered her head, eating the dish Chris had served her.

“Did Felix ask you about… the Hall family? Or about Aitairy?”

“No,” replied Chris, puzzled. “Aitairy has nothing to do with me. Why would he ask about the Hall family?”

Jessica sighed, “Felix’s sister, Natalie’s biological mother, was kidnapped and killed abroad. Did you know about that?”

That morning before leaving, Francesca had mentioned to Chris not to bring up family matters with Felix and never touch on sensitive topics.

Chris didn’t know much, but hearing Jessica, he immediately understood – could Felix’s sister’s death also be related to Aitairy?

Seeing Chris hesitate, Jessica confirmed, “The information that Shannon uncovered was outdated. The accusations were against Aitairy, though there was no proof. But combined with what Mandy said about the inside of the Aitairy building, I suspect Felix’s sister’s husband also died there.”

After all these days, Chris fully understood the purpose of Aitairy’s kidnapping.

Human experimentation.

In the medical field, some experiments couldn’t be done on humans.

The Medical Committee forbade it and absolutely prohibited human trials.
