Chapter 69 Dianaâs pov âMoss?â After seeing the face above, I exclaimed in surprise, âWhy are you here?â!
âCollect your dead body.â Moss rolled his eyes at me.
I knew he was deliberately teasing me and didnât get angry. âPut me down. Iâm much better now. I can walk on my own.â
âDiana, pretending is not a good habit,â Moss said. âI warned you to take good care of yourself. But as soon as I left, you made yourself half dead again?â
âI...â
âAlright, shut your mouth. I donât want to hear you talk now,â Moss frowned.
I originally wanted to refute, but then realized that I was being held in Mossâs arms. To avoid being thrown out by him, I wisely closed my mouth.
Moss carried me directly to the research room.
As I passed by other people, I could clearly sense their inquisitive gaze.
I pushed Mossâs chest and said, âYou let me down. So many people are watching.â
âWhat are you afraid of?â Moss asked.
âArenât you worried that they might misunderstand our relationship?â I blinked.
Moss stopped and frowned, his eyes showing some disdain.
âIâm not interested in you.â
I was surprised.
What was he thinking?
I explained, âI didnât mean you were interested in me. I meant that others will misunderstand, and I...â
âYouâre noisy!â Mossâs tone gradually became impatient, âI donât understand why you care so much about others. You canât even stand steadily.â
âI...â
I instinctively wanted to argue, but found that I couldnât win at all.
Helpless, I could only close my mouth again.
Fortunately, Moss quickly carried me into a lounge and placed me on a bed.
âThank you.â
Although our conversation was not pleasant, he did help me.
âHmm.â Moss responded perfunctorily and looked at his watch. âYou can rest for two hours. In two hours, I hope to see you in the lab.â
I was stunned.
âSo youâre just helping me for the research?â
âOtherwise?â Moss looked at me puzzled, âWhat are you thinking?â
âYou donât have to be so utilitarian. Proper disguise can earn more favor.â I reminded.
Moss gave me a glance and said, âWhy do I have to get your favor? I donât love you.â
âYou...â I exclaimed in shock, âYou donât have to love me, but among colleagues...â
A loud bang was heard.
Moss closed the door and left.
I was stunned for two seconds.
Forget it...
It was not the first day Iâve met Moss. His mind was full of research. I shouldnât bother to explain this to him.
A sense of exhaustion surged through my body. I set an alarm and fell asleep.
Two hours later, I was awakened by the sound of the clock.
After changing into work clothes, I went to the laboratory.
William had arrived and was discussing something with Moss. His face didnât look very good.
âIs anything wrong?â I walked up to the two of them and asked.
William put on a smile and said, âItâs okay. Iâm here to inquire about the research on the Enigma virus antidote.â
âWe have made a breakthrough,â I said.
William looked at me hesitantly.
âI heard you havenât been to the lab much lately?â He asked, âAre you busy with anything else?â
I was stunned for a moment.
William has always been fond of me. This was the first time he had spoken to me in an almost interrogative tone.
âAh, Iâve been...â
11 âShe has been dealing with her personal issues.â
I was just about to tell William that I was investigating Gummy Skull when Moss interrupted me.
William raised his eyebrows and said, âPersonal issues? With Alpha Nathan?â
Being interrupted by Moss, I couldnât continue talking about Gummy Skull and could only nod.
After all, this was indeed a fact.
Williamâs expression became serious.
âDiana, donât let irrelevant people distract you. Your focus should be on research now.â
Williamâs words made me feel ashamed Subconsciously I wanted to admit mv âDiana?â William called out to me, âAre you listening to me?â
âAh...I am.â I reacted, âIâm sorry. I will handle my own problems well and not delay the research.â
William nodded and patted my shoulder again. âHurry up, those patients are waiting for medicine to save their lives.â
âI understand.â
âI have other things to deal with. Iâll leave first.â William said.
Moss and I escorted William to the elevator.
When waiting for the elevator, Williamâs gaze towards me became more caring again.
âJust now I wanted to ask, whatâs wrong with your face?â
I lowered my head and didnât speak.
William asked again, âIs it related to Alpha Nathan?â
11 www 11 âItâs him,â William snorted coldly. âThat bastard dared to hurt you? I should kick him and the woman he brought out of my hospital!â
I breathed a sigh of relief. This was uncle William whom I was familiar with.
Perhaps he was indifferent just now because he was worried about the patients waiting for medication.
I held Williamâs arm and smiled, âI will solve my problem. Donât worry about me.â William touched my hair and said, âRemember, I will always be your support.â
I nodded sweetly.
After seeing off Uncle William, I turned my head to look at Moss.
âDid you say it on purpose?â I asked.
âWhat?â Moss raised one eyebrow.
âYou deliberately didnât want me to say that I was investigating Gummy Skull,â I said. âSo you shifted the topic. But why?â
Moss looked at me silently for two seconds and smiled.
âI didnât expect you to be so sensitive.â
âDid I guess it correctly?â
âYes,â Moss shrugged.
âSo why didnât you let me tell Uncle William? Donât you trust him?â
Moss pursed his lips slightly. After a moment, he shook his head. âYouâre thinking too much. I just donât think itâs necessary.
William clearly cares about you. If he finds out youâre investigating Gummy Skull, he will definitely stop you for your safety. I think this is not what you expected.â
Mossâs worry was reasonable, so I didnât continue to think too much.
Wokay youâre right !!
âOkay, youâre right.â
âSo should you go back to the lab?â Moss asked.
I didnât move.
Moss gave me a puzzled look and said, âWhat are you still standing here for?â
âMoss, you should know that the research weâre doing now is useless. The top priority is to obtain the formula of the stimulants from those who assassinated me.â
âWhat do you mean?â Moss narrowed his eyes slightly.
âI mean, I decided to go to the Blood Shadow Pack to get the recipe for the potion,â I said calmly as I looked at Moss.
