Chapter 127 Are You Sure
Timothy was stunned to see Starry Pharmaceutical Group's new drug launch on a newscast.
Only then did he realize that Starry Pharmaceutical Group, which had been out of reach for him, actually belonged to Nathan.
Realization hit Timothy like a punch, leaving him struck dumb.
Gabriella's sharp eyes were glued to the TV. Would the Ryker family be really doomed to fail?
A lot of things had happened in rapid succession lately, and it should be Eleanor behind this.
"Damn Eleanor," Caroline cursed. Her breath seized in her throat as she watched the news.
Timothy looked at Gabriella and said in a stern tone, "Go to Eleanor immediately and admit our mistake. Tell her we had no choice back then. She was pregnant out of wedlock, which damaged our reputation. The new medicine has just been released, and it's not too late to work with her."
Gabriella held his gaze and sneered, "You're completely senile. This idea is so naive. If Eleanor forgives us, what's the point of doing that?"
She was in a bad mood before and hung out for two days. She wouldn't come back to deal with Eleanor until her mood improved. But unexpectedly, the news came as something of a bolt from the blue.
The new drug launch held by Nathan was something they hadn't anticipated.
"So what should we do now? This is, obviously, against us." Timothy was agitated. He didn't want to face bankruptcy in this old age.
"Next, let me show you the patients who have recovered after taking Fragrant Condensed Pills. This just proves that the pills work very well on children and adults."
"Such a sequence of drugs is highly effective and has no side effects on human bodies. And Fragrant Condensed Pill, a kind of cold and flu remedies, is also highly effective and has no side effects."
In the news, the recovery process those patients went through after using the pills was scrolling up on the screen behind Nathan.
In an instant, Starry Pharmaceutical Group and Nathan became two top trending hashtags on different social media platforms.
Starry Pharmaceutical Group's stock skyrocketed, while that of Michael's Wellchem Pharmaceutical Group plummeted. The Ryker family and Michael were business partners, and now the shares of both went down to varying degrees.
Those who were shrewd smelt conspiracy.
They were well aware that Nathan did this against Michael and the Ryker family.
Michael was not stupid enough to miss the point that it was Eleanor's act of revenge.
Seeing that the stock was about to tank, Michael sat in the office with a gloomy face. A fire back then actually did not kill Eleanor and her unborn baby.
How could this happen?
Michael's face was ashen. Although he was as angry as a rampaging lion, the despondent expression on his face made him seem harmless.
The shares of Wellchem Pharmaceutical Group plummeted after the press conference ended. Eleanor's lips curled in triumph.
"Michael, I'm not tough enough on you. I'll take everything from the Ryker family, and I won't stop until they come to my door and tell me everything about my mom," she thought.
Sebastian and Christian also watched this drug launch and felt surprised.
Sebastian's surprise was only fleeting because he knew very well that Nathan never played by rules.
This was how Eleanor paid back his kindness. She helped Nathan earn 14 million dollars.
At this time, Jackson came in and said, "Sir, Ms. Scott is here."
Christian pulled himself back to the present. He watched Nathan's new drug launch so attentively that he forgot to pick Melody up.
Sebastian let Christian wheel him back to his room.
Melody arrived in a long black dress, her raven hair tied into a ponytail. The wide belt brought out her slim waist perfectly.
Her thin waist, voluptuous buttocks, and long legs beguiled almost every man in the world.
Sebastian and Christian both lived a chaste life. But when their eyes landed on Melody, a look of astonishment passed fleetingly across their faces.
Eleanor looked at them and gave a careless smile. "Good afternoon!"
She spoke in a very relaxed manner.
In contrast, Sebastian and Christian looked a bit awkward.
Sebastian's eyes were intent on her. "Thank you for coming."
Eleanor responded with a gentle smile, "I'm just doing my job."
Her smiling, meaningful gaze landed on Christian's face. "Christian, please settle Mr. Moore on the bed."
Christian took in her expressive smile and had a feeling that she suspected something amiss going on between him and Sebastian.
He dropped his eyes a bit awkwardly and wheeled Sebastian to the bedside.
Eleanor sidestepped as Christian silently wheeled Sebastian to the bedside and settled him on the bed.
Only then did she walk over, take out a parchment scroll, and spread it out. Then she picked up a silver needle and inserted it at an acupuncture point on Sebastian's body.
Unlike three days ago, every needle pushed into his skin today caused him excruciating pain. Beads of sweat lined his forehead after twenty needles were inserted at the acupuncture points.
Eleanor looked at him and said, "This is the last time I give you acupuncture. You feel the pain because your nerve function is returning. Within a few days, you'll be able to get back on your feet, but you can only have a very slow walk. You can't run or jump, and you can't walk more than an hour a day either. After a month, things will basically go back to normal. Remember to take your medication on time. And no alcohol. "
Sebastian said, "Okay, I got it."
He had a premonition that it would be awfully hard for him to see Melody again.
Half an hour later, Eleanor packed up her medical kit. Seeing that Sebastian looked normal, she said, "Goodbye!"
Melody wouldn't come again.
Sebastian's intent gaze lingered on her. "Goodbye!"
Eleanor turned around to see Christian standing behind her and smiled at him gently, her bright eyes shining like stars. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Her eyes were so beautiful that he seemed completely lost in them!
"Christian, thank you for your help these days." Her voice was temptingly sweet like cool water running across his skin.
Christian looked intently at her and asked seriously, "We're friends. Can I see you again?"
Eleanor smiled with a nod, "Yeah, but I'm quite busy. I can't come to see you on short notice. If you need anything, let me know a day in advance."
Eleanor picked up the medical kit and marched away, cold and unfeeling.
Sebastian slowly sat up and looked at Christian. "Are you sure?"
Christian looked at him, shook his head, and smiled wanly, "It doesn't matter anymore. This is the Melody I know. I don't care who she really is. Her face has been engraved in my mind since the first time I saw her."
Hearing this, Sebastian lapsed into silence.
Christian's phone vibrated and he looked down to see that it was an invitation from Nathan's assistant.
"There's a party tonight. Nathan's assistant sent me the message. Your name and Eleanor's are on the invitation."
Sebastian's expression darkened at the thought of Nathan's attitude towards Eleanor. "Eleanor and Waylon will be there. She's right. I'm overprotective of Waylon."
Christian felt the same way. "Got it!"
Eleanor got home over 4 p.m. and saw Jackson waiting at the door.
She asked, "Mr. Butler, what brings you here?"
