Chapter 867 Listen To Me

"Nana, I have to go out now. It's about the bacteria experiments. Will you be okay to stay here alone until I come back?" Mandy asked as she hastily stood up. She was so restless and annoyed that she was having a hard time calming down. She wanted to investigate the whole matter as soon as possible.

Fiona nodded reassuringly with a smile. "Of course, I'll be all right while I wait for you. Besides, the doctor is here to accompany me, isn't he? So, do whatever you need to do, sister. Honestly, I'll be fine. So, don't worry about me."

Mandy reached out her hand and gently caressed Fiona's face. The expression on her face softened with a weak smile. "Nana, I hope that you won't think too much about your mother-in-law, okay? Life or death is just a matter of course."

The smile on Fiona's face froze all of a sudden at the mention of her mother-in-law. After thinking of what to say for a while, she stopped biting her lips and said, "I know, I know. I'm just worried that Ethon will be very depressed once he knows about it."

"Silly girl, you know that you can't stop a person who is bound to leave the world. We don't hold our own time in this life, let alone someone else's, so we could do nothing but comfort those who have been left behind. You better persuade Ethon and encourage him by being at his side. Besides, I don't think he is the unreasonable type of person," Mandy said slowly with a slight frown on her face.

In general, men matured later than women, which had also been proven by scientists. But for Ethon's case, he was more mature than Fiona. There were times when Fiona was as reckless and careless like a child, but Ethon would never be like this. He would always weigh the pros and cons before deciding and doing or saying anything. In short, he was the type of man who knew how to make a wise and reasonable choice.

"Yeah, I know. I know," Fiona said twice to convince herself. Then, a smile appeared on her beautiful and innocent face.

"All right then, I'll be leaving now. Make sure to call me if something comes up or if you need anything, okay?"

The moment Mandy walked out of the ward and into the elevator, she felt two men in black follow closely behind her. Mandy heaved a deep and annoyed breath. She felt unhappy at being followed by two men only a few meters away, so she stopped in front of the elevator door and turned around to give them a frown.

The men in black also quickly came into a

her, Mandy sighed in relief. Then, she thought about who to contact. After a while, she turned her phone on silently and called Bruce.

Meanwhile, Bruce was very busy in his office. He had an important teaching and research meeting to organize this evening, so he was now preparing the meeting materials.

When his phone rang, he glanced at the caller ID indifferently, but when he saw the name on the screen, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

With his heart beating fast, Bruce picked up the phone. A smile appeared on his elegant face before he said gently, "Hello, Mandy."

"Hey, Bruce, are you busy now?" Mandy spoke and stared at the ground with blurred eyes, her palms curling up.

"No. No, I'm not busy. What's up? Is there anything wrong?" Bruce said with concern. With his other hand, he then pushed away his notebook and the pile of documents in front of him.

"Really? If you're not busy, can you do me a favor?" Mandy asked after hesitating for a while.

As a matter of fact, Mandy didn't really want to contact Bruce. After all, she knew that he still liked her, and that was enough reason to keep a distance from him. However, after what happened, she really didn't know who else she could run to. In City A, the only person who could help her was Bruce.

Bruce was the Deputy Director General of the Education Bureau, so with this great power, he could definitely find out about Jennifer.

"Sure. Shall we meet?" Bruce then took a glance at his schedule. The next few days were packed, but since Mandy had something urgent to talk to him about, he knew that he had to postpone today's meeting.
