Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 747 - 736: Intending to Abort the Child in Qiao Jing’s Belly
Chapter 747: Chapter 736: Intending to Abort the Child in Qiao Jing’s Belly
George was filled with excitement, remembering how he had once heard about the imperial custom of acknowledging a master. He hastily mimicked a fist salute and gave Qiao Jing a ninety-degree bow.
"Master, please accept your disciple George’s bow!"
Qiao Jing was amused by his actions and laughed, waving her hand, "Alright, alright, dispense with the formalities in front of me."
George chuckled stupidly, "Master, what shall we do next?"
Having accepted a disciple, Qiao Jing naturally took her teaching seriously.
She first acknowledged George’s merits and then pointed out his deficiencies and mistakes, carefully analyzing them.
Her words were concise and to the point, and though brief, they illuminated George’s understanding profoundly.
After giving guidance for a while, Qiao Jing yawned, covering her mouth, and said to George, "Alright, digest the key points I just mentioned for now. It’s time for me to catch up on some sleep."
"Okay."
George nodded and then suddenly thought of something, "Then this experiment..."
"If you’re interested, you can continue to ponder it."
Having said that, Qiao Jing walked away.
Watching her back, George felt a mix of emotions.
He knew that the master hadn’t come to the U.S. voluntarily, but had been brought here by force. Mr. John’s actions had made the master very averse, so she was genuinely unwilling to assist with the experiment.
She had agreed reluctantly just to save his life.
Realizing this, George sighed deeply. The smile that had filled his face just moments before now turned into a look of annoyance.
He had intended to help, but it seemed he had only made things worse...
Elsewhere.
John and Frank had been monitoring the lab situation through surveillance.
The two noticed that although Qiao Jing had agreed to the experiment, her attitude was exceedingly perfunctory. She spent less than ten minutes at the experiment table before walking away, severely slowing the progress of the experiment.
Most of the time, Qiao Jing was lying comfortably in bed, sleeping.
After watching the screen for a while, John finally lost his patience, slammed his hand on the desk, and exclaimed angrily, "She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she? At this rate, when on earth will we develop the new strain of wheat!"
"Mr. John, I’ve told you before, this Professor Qiao is a tough nut to crack, impervious to persuasion..."
Before Frank could finish his sentence, John, fuming with anger, stood up and stormed out of the monitoring room, heading toward the lab where Qiao Jing was.
Seeing this, Frank quickly followed him.
At the laboratory’s door, John pushed it open and charged in, reaching Qiao Jing in just a few strides.
By then, Qiao Jing, having heard the noise, had already sat up from the bed.
Seeing John’s furious demeanor, she knew he had come to confront her.
But she feigned ignorance and spoke nonchalantly, "Mr. John, what urgent matter brings you here so hastily?"
John, frowning and with an unpleasant expression, said, "Professor Qiao, you’re a respected figure; when you agree to something verbally, you should keep your word, shouldn’t you?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
Qiao Jing raised her light and ethereal brows, "Mr. John, what are you talking about? I can’t understand a word."
Her face remained composed, but inwardly she sneered.
If they thought they could intimidate her with these despicable tactics, they were naïve!
Seeing Qiao Jing’s dismissive attitude, Frank was livid.
But unable to vent his anger, he forcefully suppressed it, "Professor Qiao, since you’ve agreed to help with the experiment, please keep your word. Don’t take us for fools and address us with such a dismissive attitude!"
Qiao Jing glanced at him and countered, "How have I been perfunctory? Which eye of yours saw me being perfunctory?"
Frank gritted his teeth and angrily said, "You spend only a little while on each experiment and all day you just lie in bed sleeping, causing the experiment to make no progress. If this isn’t being perfunctory, what is!"
"Professor Qiao, you must give me an explanation now."
John’s face was stern, and his gaze at Qiao Jing had already become unfriendly.
Qiao Jing raised her hand to touch her abdomen and slowly said, "Mr. John, as you know, I am pregnant. It is normal for pregnant women to be sleepy. There’s nothing that can be done about it and I hope you can understand."
Though her words seemed apologetic, her tone was anything but sorry, even rather assertive.
"You!"
John was so angry that he pointed at Qiao Jing but couldn’t utter a single word.
Finally, he snorted coldly and turned away angrily.
Frank naturally followed him out.
After the two had left, Qiao Jing curled her lips into a cold smile and lay back down on the bed.
After leaving the laboratory and walking a short distance, Frank caught up with John.
John stopped, turned back, and pointing in the direction of the laboratory, he said through gritted teeth, "Look at her attitude! If it continues this way, the experiment might only finish in an indefinite period in the future."
"She can afford to wait, but we can’t!"
Frank was also very angry, but just then, he suddenly came up with an idea, which significantly calmed his anger.
"Mr. John, don’t worry, I have a great idea."
Frank stepped forward, drew close to John, and lowering his voice, continued, "Since Professor Qiao claims that her pregnancy is causing her sleepiness and affecting the progress of the experiment, then we must address the root cause of the problem."
"You mean..." John paused, and his voice also lowered, "to get rid of the child in her womb?"
"Exactly," Frank nodded. "We just need to put some abortion drug in her meals to get rid of her child. Then she won’t be able to use her pregnancy as an excuse to deliberately delay the progress of the experiment."
Of course, that was only one of the reasons.
His offering such a malicious suggestion to John ultimately stemmed from a desire for revenge against Qiao Jing.
If Qiao Jing had cooperated from the beginning and willingly come to the U.S. with him, he wouldn’t have been humiliated in front of his subordinates.
Being humiliated was one thing, but being scolded by John, who said he was incapable of dealing with even one woman, was utterly humiliating!
This was an unprecedented disgrace in his life!
Every time he thought about this, Frank was filled with resentment.
Now that he had an opportunity for revenge, he naturally would not let it go easily!
John was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons of Frank’s proposal.
A few seconds later, he made up his mind and told Frank, "Okay, let’s do as you suggested; I’ll leave this matter in your hands."
"Yes," Frank responded, a flash of vengeful satisfaction in his eyes, as if the plan had already succeeded.
That evening.
Frank’s arranged contact delivered dinner to Qiao Jing on time.
The meal looked very appetizing with its rich variety.
To be cautious, Qiao Jing tested her food with silver needles she carried with her before each bite.
Only after confirming it was not poisoned did she start eating.
