Even though Luca’s research team had moved to T Corporation, they soon knew what happened at Watson.

A researcher told Luca that Talia had passed out and was sent to the hospital by an ambulance.

She stopped working and turned her head to look at the researcher. “Talia Sullivan? Is that Dr. Kidman’s assistant?”

“Yes. The people in the company chat group are all talking about it. They said that she passed out in Dr. Kidman’s office. Before that, they seemed to be arguing about something,” the researcher said.

Luca raised her eyebrows. She was not interested in company gossip, and she had left her phone in the office. She turned around and continued her research.

“Dr. Craw, do you know why they were arguing?” The researcher asked.

“How would I know?” Luca said, though she guessed that they must have had a disagreement. She swirled the test tube in her hand and said, “How would the people there know that they were arguing? Dr. Kidman’s office should be soundproofed.”

“Well…” The researcher chuckled. If Cole and Talia had not been arguing especially loudly, no one would have known what they were doing in the office.

Luca continued with her experiment. She was not curious about why they were arguing, but she was curious about why Talia would suddenly pass out and require hospitalization.

Half an hour later, another researcher said, “Wow, I didn’t expect Ms. Sullivan to be pregnant! No wonder she passed out in Dr. Kidman’s office.”

Luca paused for a while. ‘Talia… is pregnant?’

“Really?” Another researcher said.

“Yeah. Ms. Stone accompanied Ms. Sullivan to the hospital. When the doctor announced the news, Ms. Stone was there to hear it,” another researcher said. He had been following the gossip intently on his phone.

“That’s weird. I remember Ms. Sullivan said that she’s single. How would she be pregnant?” Another researcher asked.
