Chapter 802
Before the new drug had a chance to make its mark in the medical world, it disappeared overnight. It never turned up anywhere, not in the market, not in any research journals. For years, scientists and medical experts poured their energy into tracking it down, hoping to uncover its secrets, but nothing ever came of it. Trying to recreate something that took decades of work, especially when you have nothing to go on, is basically impossible.
Adonis texted, Charlotte, this is going to be tough to find.
Charlotte frowned and replied, Put the A1 Research Institute stuff on hold for now.
Adonis answered, Got it, Charlotte.
Even her mother’s case was being put aside, which just showed how important Patricia was to Charlotte.
Then Jackson messaged, Charlotte, the two DNA test results you asked for will be ready at ten. I’ll send them to your email.
DNA test reports?
She’d been so caught up in everything lately that she had completely forgotten about them.
Nine replied, Okay.
She ended the chat and closed the app. Just as she was about to start digging for leads on the Covid-X compound, she felt a light blanket settle over her shoulders. Charlotte looked up and saw Anthony standing behind her in comfy loungewear, holding a plate of pastries, his face serious.
“When did you get here?” she asked, picking up a piece of cake and popping it into her mouth. She narrowed her eyes at him, playful and curious.
“Two minutes ago.”
“Really?” She raised her eyebrow, honestly surprised. She was usually hyper-aware of her surroundings and would have noticed if someone came in, but somehow she hadn’t.
Before she could turn back to her tablet, Anthony took it from her.
He sat down, pulled her gently onto his lap, and stared at her, his eyes dark and intense. “Do you realize you only slept for twenty minutes?”
“I know.” Charlotte let him hold her, poking his cheek with her finger. “What’s wrong?”
Anthony caught her hand, his gaze deep and stormy, like he was holding back a wave of frustration but couldn’t bear to let it out. After a few sitent seconds, he pressed his. forehead to the crook of her neck and said in a low, raspy voice, “I know you’re worried about Grandma, but you have to take care of yourself too.”

They still had no answers about her genetic mutation, and he couldn’t stand the thought of her getting hurt or worn out.
“That’s what this is about?” Charlotte smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to soothe him. “Relax. I know my limits.”
“Besides, with you here, there’s no way I’d let anything bad happen to me.”
“You know worry, right?” Anthony sounded both annoyed and helpless. He squeezed her waist and let out a long
gh. “You’re just using the fact
that I love you to brush me off
Charlotte pouted, then cupped his face, her long lashes casting shadows over her
soft gaze. She teased, “Then should I be a little more serious?”
“What?” he asked, caught off guard.
Before he could say anything else, Charlotte teaned in and pressed her lips to his. Anthony froze for a moment, then slid his hand behind her head and pulled her closer deepening the kiss.
Just then, the bedroom door swung open.
“Lottie…”
Lavinia stood in the doorway, beaming, but when she saw what was happening, she stopped in her tracks, completely stunned.
Well… this was awkward.
