Chapter 729 Sincere Cooperation

"Are you… a private researcher?" Abigail asked softly. If that was the case, she would know her

boundaries and leave this place before things got messy.

"No, I'm not. So, usually, just do those things to ensure your safety as well as ours." Martin smiled

bitterly. He was helpless now; otherwise, he wouldn't have only written letters to Alice.

Abigail nodded. "I understand. I will do my job well. Will you be able to return in the future?"

Martin sighed. "If I can research what they want, I should be able to go back, but it's highly

uncertain. I just hope my child can recover and go back with me."

Abigail turned to Andrew, who seemed to be very indifferent in this regard.

He almost had no emotions toward normal people. No matter how many times Martin talked about

these sad things, he would just entertain himself—watching dramas, reading books, or playing

some games—and was never affected by them.

Could it be that his physical condition has also affected his emotions? Abigail wondered and found it

very strange.

After finishing supper, she supervised Andrew as he washed up and went to bed. When she came

out of his room, she saw that Martin was still awake and comparing data.

While heading toward her room, she said, "Mr. Colleen, you should rest early. Your health is your

most valuable asset."

Martin heard her words and looked up at her. "Come here, and let's talk."

Abigail thought to herself, These two are really… One is more skilled at manipulating people than

the other. All I want now is to go back to my room and lie down. It feels like I can't finish the daily

chores, and I'm exhausted.

Reluctantly, she trudged over and sat next to him. "Mr. Colleen, I'm tired as well."

"I know, but I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you," Martin said softly.

Hearing that he had deliberately softened his voice, Abigail held back her complaints and said, "Go

ahead."

"You've noticed Andrew's condition. Not only is he physically slow and unable to move his legs, but

he also has almost no emotions. It's a mistake I made when he was a child, and I've always felt

guilty about it. His mother left me because of this and abandoned him," Martin started, putting down

the documents in his hand.

Abigail whispered, "I'm sorry to hear that."

"I was researching a drug but forgot to take it with me. He thought it looked good and assumed it

was a tasty drink, so he drank it. Now, when I think about it, your friend left from an emotional

breakdown caused by drugs, and the drug I was researching back then caused emotional

numbness and physical stiffness. Isn't it ironic?" Martin said as he handed the documents to her.

"Sorry, but I can't understand this," Abigail apologized.

What he wrote was completely different from Alice's traditional medicine, which she could search on

her phone for a general idea, but this was data!

Martin apologized and took back the documents. "In short, his emotions are dull, and his body

becomes more rigid due to the dullness of his emotions. As you know, all his organs will eventually

fail, and he will die. The prescription you brought with you is perfect. I have tried many methods, but

they didn't work."

"Can this prescription cure him?" Abigail was somewhat surprised because he had already told her

a few days ago that this prescription could not cure Larry and could only temporarily restrain his

problem.

Alice developed this prescription mainly for Andrew, hoping to exchange it for a treatment method

for Larry, and Abigail was truly moved by Alice's actions. Unfortunately, she was currently away and

couldn't go back to mourn her.

"It is possible, but it will take a considerable amount of time. I often worry if I can truly assist him in

his recovery as I'm getting on in years," Martin said.

He and Alice were both nearly eighty years old. However, the treatment with traditional medicine

was quite lengthy.

"As people age, they become more fearful of accidents. I have told Andrew, but he doesn't

comprehend it, so I can only confide in you. If I have an accident one day, please take care of him

for me," he pleaded, holding Abigail's hand.

Feeling a bit uneasy, Abigail withdrew her hand with a smile. "Mr. Colleen, if your method can

resolve Larry's issue within six months, I will certainly take excellent care of Andrew and treat him

as my family."

Martin looked at her, trying to discern the sincerity behind her words, and she continued, "His

treatment is not a problem as long as you instruct me on what to do. I have invested a significant

amount of money and utilized numerous connections to assist him on the condition that you aid me

in curing Larry. To be completely honest with you, Larry's genes are important, and I must uncover

the truth behind it."

Abigail earnestly gazed at Martin. In a collaboration, sincerity was crucial. She hoped to touch

Martin's heart with her sincerity and inspire him to assist her genuinely.
