Chapter 22: Drug Testing Person

In a beautiful sanatorium.

A woman in a long plain dress was watering the flowers in the garden with a small kettle.She has been working here as a nurse for some time.

There was a gentle smile on her face. She smiled and nodded to everyone who passed by.

Regardless of whether it was the old man or the children, they all liked her very much.

They addressed her affectionately as Miss Toland.

"Vanessa, didn't I tell you that it's windy lately and you aren't allowed to spend much time outdoors?"Kerwin's familiar tone was mixed with a trace of reproach.

He stepped forward and took the kettle from Vanessa's hand.He took out a thick coat and draped it over Vanessa's shoulders.

"Why does Doctor Norton have time to visit me?"Vanessa had an elegant smile on her face.

She also knew that Kerwin was for her good, and obediently followed his feet into the interior of the sanatorium.

She has lived here for more than two months.

"I am worried about you, and it happenes that I have nowhere to go on vacation, so I come here to see you."

After more than two months of recuperation, Vanessa's body gradually recovered to a sub—healthy state, but it could collapse at any time.

Elvira stabbed her in the basement back then, causing great harm to her body.

The medicine on her body, the humid and hot environment in the basement, and the excessive loss of blood had killed half of Vanessa's life.

After Kerwin was kicked out of the villa, he was still worried about Vanessa and secretly flipped back through the fence.

To Doctor Norton, who had always been gentle and refined, this behavior was truly embarrassing.

However, he happened to meet Elvira dragging Vanessa to the basement door.Seeing that Elvira was covered in blood and rushed out of the basement, Kerwin realized that something was wrong.

Fortunately, the basement door was unlocked.He rushed in anxiously and saw Vanessa lying in a pool of blood. Her eyes were out of focus and she was on the verge of death.

Kerwin took Vanessa to the hospital for emergency treatment and used his personal connections to buy a female corpse from the family of the deceased at a high price.

He took advantage of the hazy night to put it back in the basement.

"When we go to Doctor John for treatment tomorrow, Vanessa, don't be afraid. I will accompany you."Kerwin had a gentle smile on his face, not mentioning the fact that Oswald had met him a few days ago.

Vanessa almost died before getting rid of Oswald.He didn't want Vanessa to get involved with Oswald anymore.

"I'm all dying, so what's there to be afraid of?"Vanessa was calm, but she was always surrounded by a faint sadness.

After experiencing the last thing, Vanessa also left some sequelae.

She was afraid of blackness, cold, and even the sound of closing the door.The trauma on her body aggravated the deterioration of Vanessa's liver cancer.

In order to allow Vanessa to receive better treatment, Kerwin used all of his savings to send Vanessa abroad.

She took the risk of trying a drug that has not yet been approved and was being tested.Anyway, she is dying, so it was better to have a try.

"You came at the right time today. I have something for you. If anything happens to me, there's no need to worry about the things behind me not being properly arranged."Vanessa was calm as if she wasn't talking about her life and death.

She took out a large brown envelope from the drawer of the room and stuffed it into Kerwin's hand.

"You can understand that this is my suicide note."

"Nonsense!" Kerwin shoved the brown envelope back into Vanessa's hand, "You'll definitely be fine."Vanessa smiled and didn't force him.

She then followed Kerwin to the medical center and started a new life as a "drug testing person."

…

Oswald read the documents on the table.

The assistant lightly knocked on the door of Oswald's office and walked in with a thick stack of information, "Mr. Simon, we have investigated the situation of all the friends beside Mrs. Simon as well as their recent whereabouts according to your instructions."

Oswald nodded and said calmly, "Put it down. You must keep an eye on Kerwin recently. It is very likely that he is the key to me finding her."

Oswald put down the documents in his hand and turned to read the information.

The assistant couldn't help but sigh silently.

As long as something was related to Vanessa, Oswald would always pay exceptionally attention to it.It was even for some miraculous miracles that were almost impossible, or for some old friends that Vanessa had not contacted many years ago.

Oswald was also willing to give up his precious rest time.

Everyone would be carefully questioned by him, but the final result was disappointing.

Day after day, Oswald's tickets to search for Vanessa were already stacked in a thick stack.Oswald would personally go to every city that claimed that Vanessa had appeared.

However, the final result was still disappointing.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival.

Oswald sat alone in the villa where he and Vanessa lived.

Looking at the empty dining table.

"Vanessa, are you really still alive?"Oswald's eyes reddened as he was drunk.
