The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1301

At that moment, a colleague leaned in and whispered, “Oh, by the way, the original batch of formulas from Lab 3 didn’t make it either. They got completely wiped out.”

Nick shook off his thoughts and asked, “If they were destroyed, how are there formulas being used on the subjects?”

“Well, apparently, a well-known researcher had some manuscripts stashed away. Manuel and his team used those to whip up a new batch…”

The colleague nodded, then stepped into the elevator as soon as the doors slid open, cutting the conversation short.

Watching him go, Nick realized why there was such urgency to bring him back. He couldn’t stop that batch of formulas from resurfacing after all.

A sense of heaviness settled in Nick’s chest.

Before long, they reached the lab where Manuel and his crew were stationed. Besides Manuel, a few other professors were there, and Ben had shown up too.

Everyone was decked out in protective gear, and there was someone lying on the examination table in the middle, clearly under anesthesia, just lying there quietly.

Nick gave the person on the bed a quick glance.

After exchanging a few words with Manuel, the department head gestured toward Nick and introduced him, “This is Mirabella from our department, who came from the T5 Institute.”

Manuel had heard about this young professor who returned from overseas. Although he had his doubts about Nick's abilities, anyone from the T5 Institute was no lightweight, so he nodded politely to Nick, “We’ll be counting on you today.”

Nick nodded back, “No problem.”

Without wasting time on small talk, Nick and a couple of colleagues headed to the changing room next door to get suited up.
