When fate plays its hand 928

Chapter 0928

Elizabeth was pacing back and forth anxiously in the adjacent room. She glanced at her watch more than ten times in the last minute.

She bit her lip as the quiet environment amplified the unease in her heart. She reached for her phone several times, but she put it back on the table in the end.

When the time finally came, Elizabeth took a deep breath and opened the door quickly. She stepped into the hallway and adjusted her expression before knocking on Paul’s door.

Putting on a casual tone, Elizabeth called out, “Dr. Jefferson, are you in there? I noticed an issue with the A–3 group data while organizing the experiment reports earlier, but I’m not entirely sure. Can I discuss it with you if it’s convenient?”

There was no response from inside.

“Dr. Jefferson? It’s me, Elizabeth.”

However, there was still no sound.

She guessed that the drug had started to take effect. Paul was probably not doing well in his current state. “Dr. Jefferson! Are you okay? Did something happen? Could you open the door first? I’m getting really worried about you…”

She knocked on the door for a full two minutes. Her hand was turning red, but there was still no response. Elizabeth frowned. Could he have not returned yet?
