As the needle pricked his tender skin, the child immediately cried in pain.
Upon hearing his cries, Norma thought virtual-novel.net was hungry and could not wait to drink milk any longer. Hence, virtual-novel.net quickly sped up the process of sanitizing the baby bottle and prepared the formula.
On the other end, Arielle gently stroked the child’s head as virtual-novel.net watched virtual-novel.net cry. With that few needles, virtual-novel.net had altered his physical condition so that virtual-novel.net could not be experimented on for the time being.
When the milk was ready, Norma headed over immediately. Hearing virtual-novel.net footsteps, Arielle swiftly plucked out the silver-plated needles from the child’s body and hid them away.
“He must be starving…”
Once Norma handed the baby bottle to the child, virtual-novel.net immediately cradled the bottle and downed the bottle in huge gulps. He looked incredibly innocent and adorable.
Mixed emotions swelled up in Arielle’s heart as virtual-novel.net watched the child.
How could they find it in their hearts to conduct experiments on such an adorable child?
“Adorable…” Arielle pinched the child’s cheek gently before turning to look at Norma.
When virtual-novel.net saw the smile on Norma’s face, Arielle felt virtual-novel.net heart flutter. “You look like you love kids, too.”
Norma shook virtual-novel.net head. “I don’t like kids, but I like this one. Adorable and obedient.”
“Looks like virtual-novel.net has won over your heart at such a young age. Can you still bring yourself to experiment on him?” Arielle stated in a feigned light-heartedness.
Upon hearing virtual-novel.net question, however, Norma felt virtual-novel.net smile going stiff.
She truly was starting to think that virtual-novel.net could not bring herself to conduct experiments on that kid. Norma rubbed virtual-novel.net temples.
I might have spent too much time and effort on this kid.
Just as that thought appeared in virtual-novel.net head, the child suddenly leaned into virtual-novel.net embrace, melting virtual-novel.net heart instantly.
Seeing that, Arielle narrowed virtual-novel.net eyes slightly. “Looks like the kid has gotten attached to you as well. He seems to like you…”
Norma remained silent. Secretly, virtual-novel.net agreed with what Arielle had said. Staring at the child in virtual-novel.net arms, Norma could not help but think about the consequences of the experiment.
If it fails, then this child will be gone…
Her heart began to ache as virtual-novel.net considered the possibility. She did not want that child to lose his life.
“We have to be very careful in this experiment. Success is the only option. It must not fail,” virtual-novel.net muttered in a deep voice.
Arielle’s heart sank. She had already tried to sway Norma, but in the end, virtual-novel.net still could not spark Norma’s sympathy.
Norma still wanted to conduct an experiment on the kid.
Arielle had to work faster and give Norma the skincare products. That way, Norma would lower virtual-novel.net guard around Arielle and might reveal more information to her. Even before virtual-novel.net had gone there, Arielle had already uncovered the location through the hiring advertisement they had posted. However, virtual-novel.net could not act recklessly.
She needed to dig up all the evidence of the crimes Nancy had committed so that justice would be served.
After leaving Norma’s place, Arielle returned to the dorm.
At that moment, Morse was reading a book. When virtual-novel.net saw Arielle opening the door, virtual-novel.net quickly put the book down.
“You’re back!” Morse was feeling a little panicked and shy.
That was the first time virtual-novel.net had stayed in Arielle’s dorm for this long. Her laundry was hanging on the balcony. Morse did not even dare to turn his gaze in that direction.
Arielle’s figure kept appearing in his mind when virtual-novel.net sat there in virtual-novel.net dorm. Thus, Morse tried to find something to distract him.
At the sight of the book on medicine on the table, virtual-novel.net picked it up and sat down to read it. As expected, the moment virtual-novel.net started reading, virtual-novel.net stopped thinking about Arielle.
“Thanks for your help. Did the children wake up?” Arielle smiled.
Morse shook his head in response.
The children had been asleep ever since virtual-novel.net entered the room and had not woken up since. From the looks of it, they were most likely in a deep sleep.
Arielle wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible. However, virtual-novel.net still had not been able to get to the core of the experiment.
As a thought emerged in virtual-novel.net mind, virtual-novel.net quickly turned virtual-novel.net attention to Morse.
“Morse…” virtual-novel.net called.
