Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit-Chapter 802 - 798: Palace Intrigue in the Laboratory

Chapter 802: Chapter 798: Palace Intrigue in the Laboratory

However, Richelle Dunn never cared about these, and now she had no time to take care of these matters.

“Don’t worry about it, I’m going to get busy.”

Richelle didn’t even bother to read the comments, replied to Denise Munni’s message, got up to wash, and then went to the ICU to check on Dylan Collins’s condition.

Dylan Collins’s condition was stable, and all the values were gradually getting better. Richelle instructed her assistant to transfer him back to a regular ward.

To be on the safe side, Richelle called Delroy and learned that the Lewis Group indeed had a security team here, so she asked Delroy to arrange for two bodyguards to come over.

When the bodyguards arrived, Richelle briefed the team leader and then arranged for the bodyguards and caregiver to guard Dylan Collins around the clock.

After making all the arrangements and confirming there was nothing else to do, Richelle left the hospital, bought some nicer food, and visited the seniors in the research lab.

Andrew and Bailes were both there. As soon as Richelle sat down and took a sip of tea, she heard Andrew ask her.

“Junior sister, are you here to do the lab handover this time?”

Richelle was thinking, how did this rumor come about?

She smiled, shook her head, and bent down to put the teacup on the table.

“I’m just here to perform surgery on a patient. As for the lab handover, I haven’t received any relevant information yet, and this might not even be a confirmed matter, right?”

Andrew got up to refill her teacup.

“Oh? Not confirmed yet? But from what I understand of our master’s intention, this matter is already nearly settled!”

Richelle just smiled.

“Really? I was only briefed by the master but nothing was set in stone!”

Richelle had a purpose for coming here.

However, she thought she’d have to spend some time and effort probing for information.

As a result, Andrew couldn’t wait to reveal his true intentions.

In the past, Andrew was known to be more troublesome, but perhaps because he didn’t have a big conflict of interest with the people in the lab, he didn’t seem too unbearable.

But ever since Sonia Seaton expressed the intention to step back and announced to her disciples that she would hand the lab over to her disciples to be responsible and manage, Andrew’s opportunistic and ambitious nature became apparent.

A flash of happiness appeared on Andrew’s face.

“Is that so? Maybe we misunderstood our master’s intention.”

Richelle nodded indifferently.

“For specifics, you should ask the master directly. I’m not in South Asia, so even if you ask me about it, I wouldn’t know. Besides, if it were really up to me to take over, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

From the beginning until now, Richelle has never been attached to this lab.

She wasn’t interested in fame and fortune in the first place. For her, staying at home with her child and making some of their favorite treats or cooking a meal for them was more enjoyable than scheming and fighting for fame and fortune.

Therefore, if the master could find a more suitable candidate, she would rather let someone else take over.

However, at least Andrew, who was in front of her, was not suitable in terms of character.

It wasn’t until then that Bailes, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

“Junior sister, you are too modest. Although the master hasn’t made a final decision, I hope that you will take over.”

This Bailes had been with Sonia Seaton for quite some time.

Famously known as an academic nerd, he focused solely on conducting experiments and research.

All interpersonal matters ended up being sucked into his natural black hole of social unawareness.

When Richelle first joined the lab, the master asked Bailes to guide her.

She had great respect for Bailes.

If Bailes were willing to be the person in charge, she would be willing to assist him from the side.

Of course, she would find a chance to talk to Bailes privately about it later.

Now was not the time for heartfelt talks.

And Bailes’s words made Andrew’s face darken.

Richelle watched Andrew’s reaction and smiled, waving her hand.

“Bailes, you know me. I’d rather lie down and do nothing if someone else is in charge. But if the master really asks me to take up the responsibility, I will do my best.”

These words were said more for Andrew to hear than for Bailes.

“Junior sister, rest assured, if the master really lets you take up the responsibility, I will help you.”

Bailes said these words very earnestly and sincerely, without any flattery.

Richelle nodded and said, “Thank you, Bailes!”

Then she skillfully changed the subject, and they started talking about the lab’s recent research projects.

When they talked about their professional field, the other two typically silent seniors became more talkative.

Richelle stayed in the lab for over an hour. She originally planned to invite everyone for dinner together, but the hospital called, saying that there was an emergency surgery that required her to be the chief surgeon, so she rushed back to the hospital.

When she finished the surgery and came out, it was already past 1 a.m.

She went to check on Dylan Collins’ room and made sure there were no issues before leaving the hospital and heading back to the hotel.

She first ordered some late-night snacks at the front desk, and then went to take a bath.

When she finished her bath, the late-night snacks had just arrived. She turned on her phone and ate while checking her messages.

Roy Lewis sent her several messages after 12 o’clock.

“Haven’t finished the surgery yet? Reply to me when you get out!”
