Chapter 372
Everything seemed to be back on track.
After half a month of classes, Avery realized that Joy had not made any moves to approach the Carter family, so she decided to take a leave of absence from school, preparing to retreat to her physics research base for a few months. Before leaving, she met with Alexander and told him, "While I’m away, please keep an eye on the Carter family whenever you can."
Though Alexander did not say anything, and Avery did not ask him any questions or do any investigations, she could sense that her family’s successful business ventures had likely received help from someone influential. The only person she could think of with both the capability and motivation to assist them was one individual.
Alexander was already used to her disappearing for long stretches of time. Without hesitation, he reassured, "Go ahead, do what you need to do. Stay as long as you want. I’ll make sure nothing happens to the Carter family in your absence." "Thank you." Avery smiled warmly, but after a moment’s hesitation, she leaned in close to Alexander and whispered in his ear, "Be extra careful..."
Alexander was surprised but not alarmed. "Got it. I’ll be careful."
Avery smiled mysteriously. "Since you’re so supportive of me, I’ll give you a reward."
"Oh?" Alexander was looking forward to it. "What reward?"
Avery took out two bottles of pills. "This bottle is for Nicolas. He needs to take one pill a day. Although it won’t completely restore his health, it will definitely improve his condition.
"This bottle is for your grandfather. He must take one pill every day. Although it can’t restore his youth, it’s definitely better than the needles he’s using every day. The side effects are also less.
"Just say that you went to Dr. Annie many times and tried all kinds of methods to convince her to help. It took her a whole year to develop this medicine."
Alexander was quite a thorn in the side of his family-he had achieved a lot, but he also faced a lot of opposition.
He likely still needed the support of his father and grandfather
