Hearing that, Mr. Ballard became serious, mumbling, "It seems that what I was worried about has
happened after all. rr
Seeing Molly was listless, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "You should trust Sean, and we also
have to speed up
our progress."
Molly nodded and said, "Okay."
In order not to affect Sean’s health, she had arranged for someone to look after Kara, providing her
with nice food and drink.
She simply hoped that Kara could recover soon.
In the following days, she focused on drug development. The project was on track, and Mr. Ballard was
always around, so the whole research went smoothly.
In the afternoon, Alioth anxiously came to the underground base to meet Sean.
"Master, Eaton has slipped away," he reported the shocking news.
He stood at the desk, head down. He felt that the moment his master heard the news, the room
temperature seemed to drop sharply.
His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his back was also wet.Back then, his master had asked him to watch Eaton, saying repeatedly that he must keep a close eye,
but the man had slipped away.
Of course, he was responsible for the huge mistake he made.
"How did he slip away?" Sean asked in fury.
He stared at Alioth, his imposing manner shown on his handsome face.
Alioth reported truthfully, "When we infiltrated the base a few days ago, I ordered my men to watch
Eaton. But they didn't keep a close eye, and he sneaked away."
Sean narrowed his dissatisfied eyes and scolded sharply," Are you justifying your neglect of duty?"
"I dare not!" Alioth immediately denied it. "Master, this is my fault. I'm willing to accept any punishment."
Eaton's escape would be a hidden danger to their following plan.
If they couldn't find him in time, they would have trouble!
So Sean said coldly, "Go receive your punishment when you return to the Grandset! But your top
priority now is to find Eaton."
"Yes."
"Remember, never let him come into contact with anyone at the base. Keep a close eye on all those
who have good relationships with him. Got it?"
Alioth replied with trepidation, "Yes, Master. Rest assured. I will find him and bring him back!"
After that, he turned around and quickly left.Sean tightened up his handsome face, unhappy.
When he got home that evening, Molly, who could tell that something was bothering him, asked him
what was going on.
Sean didn't hide anything from her.
Molly was stunned after hearing that.
Eaton had slipped away?!
Not wanting her to worry too much, Sean said, "We have people looking for him. I believe we'll find him
soon."
Molly believed what he said, but couldn't shake off the feeling of unease.
She was so afraid of Eaton's trouble-making ability.
What if he escaped and plotted something against them in secret?
She didn’t dare to think further.
Sean came over and hugged her, comforting her softly," Don't be afraid. I'm alive. He'll be caught."
As he comforted her, he took her back to their room.
"Sean, promise me, you will find him!" Molly held his hand and pleaded urgently.
"Yes, I will. Don't think too much. Sleep now."
Sean pecked her on the lips and then watched her close her eyes. After a while, when he heard her
breathing become steady, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes turned gloomy at the thought of the escape of Eaton.
