473 Chapter 473: Show Some Respec (1/2)
He had done that before, no matter how unpleasant the situation had been.
Even if he had to take the magical pills for a month to gain their enemies' trust, he had the ability to protect himself from its side effects.
It probably was a serious matter of one's life in other people's eyes, but it was still something Stephen could handle well.
”Oh,” Dinah said all of a sudden. ”One of our teammates told me the magical pill appeared again yesterday in Seattle after it has been absent for a long while.”
Yesterday?
Ethan frowned, and Dinah added, ”Its price is also lower now, which will attract more buyers.”
Ethan turned and met Kylie's eyes.
Kylie smiled at him.
”I understand.” He nodded, then hung up the call.
”When did you get back to Seattle?” Ethan walked into the room and asked Stephen.
Stephen was drawing blood from Kylie's arm with a calm face. ”Yesterday.”
Ethan didn't ask further, but Kylie sensed something unusual.
”It'll be done in seconds,” Stephen said to comfort her.
”You lost too much weight. Did you have a serious disease?” Kylie asked him with concern.
Ethan, who stood behind her, was displeased hearing that she cared about Stephen.
Stephen, however, felt happier when Ethan was annoyed.
”Yeah, it almost killed me,” Stephen said.
”What happened? I called your company, but they told me you didn't go to work. I was so worried about you.” Kylie secretly pulled the corner of Ethan's coat.
Ethan slightly pressed her back with his thumb behind her shoulder.
They understood each other very well.
Kylie continued. ”You should tell me when you were sick. We're friends after all, and I could take care of you.”
Stephen glanced at Ethan, then smiled at Kylie. ”I will tell you the next time.”
Kylie nodded, then made a joke, ”Was it an infectious illness?”
Stephen was amused. ”Nope, but lovesickness.”
Kylie was struck dumb for a second and stopped talking about that.
”When can we have the result of this blood test?” she asked a while later when the blood draw was done.
”It should be quick, and I'll contact you tomorrow,” Stephen said.
After that, Kylie stood up and walked outside with Ethan. Right at this moment, a woman walked inside. ”Stephen?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Kylie got nervous and subconsciously squeezed Ethan's hand.
Ethan pulled her into his arms, and the three of them in the room stared at the woman who was walking near. ”Stephen, why did you...”
Agnes wanted to criticize Stephen because he had been absent for a long time, which caused the loss of dozens of million dollars, and Adolph was in a rage now.
