Chapter 321 Stirring Up a Hornet’s Nest
Name: Jane
Age: 30
Birthplace: Country Z
Freya deliberately changed her age and name when she came here. It was necessary for her to hide her true identity in this new place.
No further introduction was needed. Elijah frowned, is that all?
Maddox said, “It’s not that I lack the ability, but this is all the information I could find on her. However, as long as you agree to invest, I will personally go to Country M and meet this Jane. I believe that as a conscientious person from Country Z, she will be willing to come back and develop.”
Elijah directly refused, “I’m not interested. Dina, see our guest out.”
He clearly didn’t want to discuss it any further. No matter how much Maddox talked about a project with no potential, it was just a waste of time.
“Mr Silverton, if Miss Stone were here, what would she do?”
Elijah’s expression instantly changed. His pupils deepened, appearing calm yet on the edge, as if he could erupt at any moment. Maddox regretted his words as soon as he spoke them. Freya should not be mentioned casually. Otherwise, it would anger Elijah.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Please pretend I never said anything. I said nothing.” He hurriedly walked out of the office, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead and taking large strides as he walked away.
Freya was a doctor, and he mentioned her on purpose, hoping that Elijah would consider his request as a favor to Freya. However, it seemed like he had poked a hornet’s nest. Little did he know that his words had once again unsettled Elijah.
Elijah had another sleepless night. And even the medication wasn’t working. From taking one pill to now six, gradually, he developed resistance to the medication. He poured a handful into his mouth and washed it down with water. He didn’t know how many pills he took. Regardless, he didn’t seem to care about the potential harm to his body. He lay down and thought about Maddox’s words.
If Freya were still here. Would she want him to invest? That woman chose the profession of a doctor because she had a savior’s heart. She would definitely want him to invest, right?
Elijah picked up his phone and called Evan, “Ask Maddox to prepare a feasibility report for the case he mentioned.”
On the other end, a voice responded, “Alright.”
After speaking, he hung up the phone. Even though he took the medication, he still couldn’t fall asleep. He turned his head and looked out the window. The faint moonlight seeped through the curtains, softly illuminating his face. His distinct features became more three-dimensional and alluring under the moonlight’s touch. But his eyes couldn’t hide the emotions mingled with the pain of longing.
…
Maddox received the call and immediately conducted research on artificial heart transplantation. He prepared a feasibility report. In order to convince Elijah in one go, he even traveled to Country M. He was involved in the pharmaceutical field himself and had a few acquaintances in the industry. With some connections and favors, he managed to make the necessary arrangements.
Mede Heart Research Center.
Freya was conducting experiments in the laboratory. They were researching an artificial heart, which didn’t actually replace the heart with a machine. The structure and function of the heart were too complex and unique to be replaced.
The human heart is composed of multiple parts.
Their goal was to tackle each component of the heart and find replacement parts for them. This way, they could treat any faulty part of a patient’s heart. This was what they called the artificial heart. Currently, they were searching for a substitute for blocked heart vessels. The smallest blood vessels in the heart are only a few micrometers in diameter. The vessels were extremely tiny, visible only with a microscope, invisible to the naked eye. Finding a substitute for something so small yet with the ability to circulate blood was not easy. However, they were not completely clueless, as they had been inspired by plant leaves.
In each leaf, when observed under a microscope while still alive, one could see a network of tubular structures crisscrossing like a spider’s web, resembling miniature blood vessels. Using this concept, they conducted their research.
“Jane, let’s have dinner together tonight.”
The person who spoke was a man also from Country Z; but unlike Freya, he was born in Country Z and grew up in Country M, receiving education here. He had been at Mede for six years now and achieved quite a lot. In this research institute mostly populated by Country M natives, the two of them were like “fellow countrymen”, and thus Freya had a good relationship with him. It should be said that Freya got along well with everyone.
Freya nodded, “Sure.”
“Then I’ll make a reservation.” Jeff smiled.
…
Freya arrived at the restaurant as planned. Jeff was already there. As Freya walked towards them, she noticed Maddox sitting beside Jeff and paused for a moment.
