Chapter 855 We Have No Choice But To Wait

Elizabeth felt quite embarrassed after listening to his words. She had thought she could play dumb in front of him, and he wouldn't notice. Until Ouyang hadn't mentioned he liked her, she had nothing to be embarrassed for. But now her cheeks were red, and she felt a little helpless.

Seeing that Elizabeth was quiet, Ouyang thought it was best to continue. Anyway, he had been shameless when he had done all the bad things before. He wasn't afraid of losing his reputation anymore. He was afraid if he kept thinking about that, he would never have the chance to express his love.

"Elizabeth, I love you. I know many years have passed, but I have never been able to forget you. I really, really love you. I have a request for you. If I succeed in the research and development of the antidote, would you please put in a good word for me with Nathan?" Ouyang was so nervous that he clenched his fists tightly. His knuckles grew white. He was talking incoherently, for his desire to survive was very strong.

Deep inside, Elizabeth felt repulsed by Ouyang. He was no longer the person she had known in college. At the time, he had been so upright, stubborn, persistent, and diligent. He had high self-esteem. This was how he still described himself, but the truth was he had changed completely. Now he was greedy and lusty. Elizabeth could clearly feel how great his sexual desire for her was.

"Okay...If you are able to save Adrian's life, I will put in a good word for you with Nathan and keep you safe," Elizabeth said, trying her best to conceal her disgust.

Ouyang bought her facade. He couldn't see that beneath her calm demeanor was only hatred. Naively, Ouyang rejoiced at her promise. He looked at her with an unreadable expression in his eyes. Suddenly, he smiled viciously and said, "Can I... Can I hug you?"

Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat. She looked at him boldly. She wasn't afraid of him at all, especially because the lab was full of surveillance cameras. Ouyang couldn't dare do anything to her here.

"Well... I am a married woman. It would be improper for you to hug me, so why would you w

do now.

Nathan turned around and stared at Mandy with his cold and calm eyes. He knew she was feeling restless. He had felt the same last time. The afternoon his men had brought Ouyang here, Nathan also stood outside the room, anxiously observing him do the experiments through the surveillance video. He watched him work the entire afternoon, and by the end, he started to feel like he was experimenting himself.

Extending his arm, he put his warm palm over Mandy's shoulder gently. With a little more force, he pulled her closer to him. Her head rested on his chest, going up and down as he breathed.

They had no choice but to wait!

The look in Nathan's eyes was as dark as a starless night sky. But even the blink of his eyes gave Mandy a glimmer of hope. His Adam's apple bobbed twice as he spoke. There was a tenderness in his magnetic voice. "Don't worry, Mand. All we can do is wait here..."

Mandy raised her head to look at him. She could see the helplessness in his dark and deep eyes. No matter how powerful a person was, he had moments when he felt helpless, and Nathan was no exception. He was crumbling in anticipation, ricocheting between being hopeless and hopeful.

"Nathan, is there any other laboratory here?" Mandy paused for a few seconds before asking the question. There was a hint of excitement in her voice.

Nathan nodded and answered seriously, "Yes, why do you ask?"
