Chapter 717

Lulu’s back struck the floor the instant she fell and there was a dull thud!

Her head was left ringing and she started to black out.

Ricky quickly scrambled to his feet. "I'm so sorry! I just wanted to hug you, but my foot slipped. Did you hit your head?"

Lulu narrowed her eyes, her sight of Ricky blurred as her consciousness started to fade!

"Lulu? Lulu?" Ricky called out to her, even smacking her face.

But she did not respond.

Panicking, Ricky whipped out his phone, but he fumbled and dropped it on the floor.

Still, Lulu stirred as he quickly reached for it.

"Urgh..." she murmured, feeling like her head was splitting.

Ricky heard her and he quickly turned back to her, calling her name. 'Lulu?1’

She was frowning as she said, ' Help me up."

Ricky helped her to the couch, asking in concern, "Did you hit your head? Do you want to get checked?"

Lulu looked at him and shook her head. "No."

"But you—" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“You can send Barbara and Tobias home now, Ricky," she said, cutting him short.

"Why?" Ricky was actually confused. "Zachary is definitely going to abduct them and threaten you again if I did. We should keep them hidden."

“No, he won't," Lulu said. "And they need to go about their normal lives instead of staying in hiding constantly.”

"Did he tell you that he won't? Can you really believe him?" Ricky exclaimed even as he held her hand. "Don't be fooled. He must be up to something.”

"No, he’s not,” Lulu said.

Ricky finally realized it. "Y-You trust him that much?"

Lulu took her hand out of his and rose to her feet, keeping her back to him while she walked to the window. “Thanks for taking care of me all this while, Ricky. I'm sorry I got you into this."

Ricky was left staring at his own hands. "It's no problem."

“Lulu, what..."

“I think I remember everything now."

Lulu said, but she still did not turn around. “I owe you a lot."

“I don’t mind doing it for you." Ricky grinned.

"Go home, Ricky. I want to be alone.”

Ricky turned silent, and he eventually said, "Alright. Contact me anytime something comes up."

"Yeah," Lulu murmured softly.

Once Ricky left, however, she headed to the table and picked up her phone to make a call.

It was soon answered, and Lulu said, "I have a favor to ask."

"Sure," the other person replied. Tell me.”

Irene felt acid in her cup when she started drinking.

It was a small amount and the taste was faint, but she sensed it immediately thanks to her intuition as a doctor.

She could understand and tolerate pranks and harassment, but if she really drank this acid, she would be half-dead if not outright dead. While she could let it go before, she refused to do so this time!

She did not even go to Dennis Turner, and she went straight to security, demanding security footage.

She noted in her mind each time she took a water break and asked for the footage during those times, which in turn made searching more efficient.

There were cameras covering every corner of the research center, and she checked through the footage on the main screen.

Although there were many people walking around that area, they could still clearly see anyone who got too close to the seat.

There was a routine meeting at 10 AM, so no one was around, but a figure suddenly popped up on screen!
