A country house in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

Justin sat quietly in the dark dining room, not daring to turn on the light, a plate of cold pasta on the table.

He burst into tears, and while eating noodles, he silently licked his wounds: "Why am I so unlucky!" ”

After the accident, he called Stephanie several times, but no one answered, or even couldn't get through!

This had to make him suspect that it was Stephanie, the little Bichi, who partnered with Zhou Qiao to trap him!

"In vain, I trust you so much, you said that the medicine is fine, it was stolen from Zhou Qiao, so I believe it! Didn't even experiment with a homeless man! But you did this to me! Xiao Bichi, I have raised you for so many years in vain, and your heart is so vicious! ”

The more Justin thought about it, the angrier he became.

As everyone knows, he also had the idea of hiring a homeless man to do the experiment, but the secret medicine was too precious, and the quantity in his hands was limited, so he was reluctant.

Secondly, it is also very risky to find a homeless person to test the drug in the United States. There is such a group of lawyers in the United States, the number of which is very large, specializing in medical claims lawsuits, and if there is a problem with the drug test, the homeless man will find someone to sue him backhanded, and the amount of compensation is often astronomical.

Some people make a fortune from this.

Therefore, American pharmaceutical companies are doing clinical trials of new drugs in other countries, especially developing countries. Those backward countries overseas, Romania, Tunisia, India, Lithuania, Brazil, Argentina, Poland, Ukraine, Iran, Hungary, Morocco, Turkey...... It's a paradise for them to test the medicine!

Even, Russia is on the list!

These are all because after a large number of people died, the media broke out, and I don't know how many have not been exposed.

Moreover, when recruiting drug test personnel, it is often deceptive and will conceal some very bad consequences.

Since Stephanie was stolen from Zhou Qiao, and Zhou Qiao used the same drug and had many surgeries, which was equivalent to clinical verification, Justin omitted that step.

Who would have thought that this medicine is so doggy?

No, not a dog, this must be a trap! Cheap Bichi, together with the outsider Uncle Pit, I will settle accounts with you!

He thought about it for a while, called Stephanie again, but still didn't get through, and threw the phone on the couch in anger!

……

He didn't know that Stephanie had a mental problem these days, and it was difficult to protect herself, and her phone had not been turned on.

Baltimore, Holy Land Apostolic Faith Church, Crypt Vault.

Stephanie was depressed and silent for a while.

Today, before she was depressed, she had gone crazy three times, all kinds of foul language, all scolding herself, and the pastor was worried when she heard it.

The old priest stayed in the secret room, and after a long time of explanation, it didn't work, so he shook his head and said, "You haven't eaten much for almost three days, I'll go get some slices of bread and cheese, by the way, what do you want to drink?" Milk or lemonade? ”

Seeing that Stephanie did not answer, the old priest said, "Either it is still milk!" A little more nutritious! ”

So, he got up and walked away tremblingly.

Shortly after the old priest left, Stephanie's hand suddenly moved.

She reached for her phone.

I haven't turned on the phone for so many days, and she finally remembered it and gently pressed the power button.

Lots of missed calls, and unread messages.

Stephanie wasn't interested, she didn't bother to look at it until, she flipped to the picture Elena sent her!

When she opened it, she saw a large bag of coffee with very beautiful and special packaging, and a very beautiful natural amber pendant.

Elena P.S.: Joe has returned from East Africa, this is a gift he brought you, you are not there, just leave it with me. When are you back, let's grind coffee together! Let me tell you, this coffee has a very rich wine and chocolate flavor without the slightest sourness, I really like it, and you will love it too!

Stephanie read it carefully, and was stunned, suddenly her eyes were a little red, and her heart was sour and bitter:

I have stolen all your things, stolen your treasures, precious secret medicines, why are you still so good to me? Bring me a gift?

Elena is such a silly girl! Whoever marries you will be happy for a lifetime!

With a flick of her fingers, she called Elena in a mysterious way.

The phone was connected, and Elena asked with concern: "Stephanie, dear, how is your mother?" ”

"When are you coming back?" Ava and I both miss you a lot, well, and your patients, ask every day when the beautiful woman psychiatrist can continue to provide them with door-to-door services? ”

"Hello? Stephanie, why don't you speak? What happened? ”

"Is there anything you can't tell me? I'm your best friend! ”

"Stephanie, are you in trouble?"

Stephanie felt guilty and speechless. She was about to hang up the phone when the old priest came over with a plate, which she had heard, put down the plate, and stopped Stephanie.

Then the old priest patted Stephanie lightly, picked up the phone, and said in a trembling old voice to the other end of the phone: "Dear lady, I have a very important matter to ask you for, and to obtain your understanding, about Stephanie's ......."

Stephanie confessed to the old priest, so the old priest knew everything about the cause and effect.

……

On the other end of the phone, half an hour later, Elena, who had thoroughly understood Stephanie's behavior, as well as her current situation and condition, was simply stunned!

She struggled and hesitated for a long time before she ran to find Zhou Qiao and told her about it!

Zhou Qiao frowned, in fact, he had already learned from the system before that Stephanie was locked in the underground secret room by the old priest and gave enlightenment every day, but he didn't know the specific situation.

He sighed softly, not expecting Stephanie to be in such a bad situation.

According to the old priest, Stephanie was getting thinner and thinner, and she hadn't eaten much for three days, and if she continued like this, it was not only a matter of mental breakdown, but she would starve to death!

"Joe, help her! If she continues like this, she'll die! Elena begged.

Zhou Qiao said: "How can I save her?" ”

"You will also counsel her, you go to counsel her, and besides, the reason why she is like this is completely because she is guilty of stealing our fruit, if...... I mean, if you, the master, forgive her, will she untie the knot and get back on her feet? Elena said seriously.

Zhou Qiao was silent: "......"

Elena was anxious and shouted a little angrily, "Is a few kilograms of fruit important?" Did you lose a lot? ”

It was the first time for Zhou Qiao to see Elena angry, and he couldn't help but look at her curiously.

Elena looked very serious: "Joe, although I also like money, and now that we have money, we are also very happy, but I have always felt that we can't take money and interests too seriously. Stephanie made mistakes, but there is no such thing as a perfect person, and who wouldn't make mistakes? ”

"Stephanie has been in the clinic for so long, although she came with a purpose, but you can't deny that she is a very kind person. What bad guy would have a nervous breakdown because of doing something as 'trivial' as theft? If it's really bad, now that her goal has been achieved, shouldn't she be complacent and happy? ”

Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "Now that we have applied for a patent, our loss is actually not big, almost nothing." Instead, it's her uncle, who can be a little troublesome. ”

Elena grabbed Zhou Qiao's hand: "Then you go and save her, I'll beg you~"

"You stupid girl~" Zhou Qiao pinched her nose, "I really can't help you." Well, for your sake, I'll accompany you to see her. ”

"Joe, you're so nice!"

"Not as good as you!"

"You're the best!"

Ava barged in: "What are you guys doing?" One praised the other party for being good, good ......"

Zhou Qiao and Elena turned their heads together and said in unison: "It's still your best!" ”

Ava: "......" is inexplicable.

Then, she was knocked down by Zhou Qiao and Elena.

The three of them scuffle together!

Ava: "That's what you mean?" Whoever is good will be bullied? Come on! Bully me as much as you want! ”

……

The next day, Zhou Qiao and Elena embarked on a flight to Baltimore.

Short and weak, go back at night to make up for it
