Chapter 960 Part Of It Went Missing
Hearing that question from Madilyn, Roxanne heaved a sigh. “It’s a long story.”
Madilyn went into the living room with the children and replied unceremoniously, “Tell me everything slowly, then.
Before you do so, get me something to eat.”
She had come over right after getting out of bed and hadn’t had the time to eat anything, so she was famished.
Roxanne proceeded to take out the extra sandwiches she had made a while ago for her best friend to satiate her
hunger.
As Madilyn ate, Roxanne narrated the experience they had yesterday.
The instant Madilyn heard that the children suffered from a bacterial infection yesterday, the sandwich in her
mouth abruptly tasted like ashes.
“Who exactly dared to make a move against my godsons?”
The culprit even inflicted such agony on them!
At the thought of the torment Archie and Benny had been through yesterday, she hugged the boys sitting beside
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther, her heart clenching painfully.
Knowing that their godmother was concerned about them, Archie and Benny considerately coaxed, “Don’t worry,
Aunt Madilyn! We’re fine now!”
While saying that, they jumped up and down actively as though to prove they were in the pink of health.
At the side, Estella was still unfamiliar with Madilyn and stood beside Roxanne timidly.
Before she knew it, she had also been pulled into Madilyn’s arms by the woman herself.
“How dastardly of the culprit to make a move against such a cutie pie!” Madilyn griped, heartbroken.
Although she’s Lucian’s daughter, her countenance makes everyone fall in love with her!
The thought of someone inflicting pain on Estella had her gripped by the urge to ferret the culprit out and rip the
person into shreds.
Never having expected her best friend to be even more enraged than she was, Roxanne was dumbfounded for a
moment.
When Madilyn had enough of hugging Estella, she reluctantly dropped her hands from around the little girl. She
lifted her eyes at Roxanne. “Whose doing was it? Are there any leads?”
Roxanne bobbed her head before shaking it in the next heartbeat.
Madilyn was entirely bewildered.
“There are some clues, but I haven’t found anything useful.”
Having no plans on keeping her in the dark, Roxanne briefly told her everything she had done earlier.
Without an ounce of hesitation, Madilyn declared, “I’ll help you out with that. I’ve made the acquaintance of a
number of people in Chanaea in the past years.”
It went without saying that Roxanne took her up on it. She left some orders for the children before bringing Madilyn
upstairs with her.
They went straight to the study.
Seeing the four remaining research institutes on her list, Madilyn quirked a brow. “I’ve collaborated with these few
research institutes.”
In other words, she could help inquire about the matter.
Roxanne’s eyes lit up.
Madilyn didn’t even need further instructions, shooting to her feet directly and going to the side to make the calls.
She made three calls consecutively, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Judging from her tone on the phone, Roxanne could more or less postulate the results.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRight then, only the last research institute remained.
Pinning all their hopes on it, Madilyn made the call.
“Really? When did it go missing?”
She cut to the chase after some pleasantries and asked about the bacteria. In no time, she received an answer
from the other end of the phone.
Their research institute indeed researched that kind of bacteria, and some even went missing before.
The moment Roxanne heard Madilyn’s words, her eyes gleamed. Frowning, she shifted her gaze in the latter’s
direction.
Madilyn’s expression was somber, and she was still pressing for details.
Sensing Roxanne’s gaze, she turned around and walked back over to her, putting the call on loudspeaker.
The voice on the other end of the phone promptly drifted into Roxanne’s ears.
“It’s quite a complicated process to manufacture such a bacterium. Besides, it involves an astronomical cost and a
great degree of difficulty. For that reason, we attach substantial importance to it. Half a month ago, we developed a
new batch after much effort, planning to use it for research. Alas, part of it went missing.”
