Chapter 12

It could be said that Dr. William is truly a genius! Eddie felt like he had been slapped right in the face; William's notes on the T-Serum were absolutely fantastic. Eddie kept reading while trying to remember every critical reminder of the T-Serum project.

"William is a brilliant guy, no wonder he was able to become Umbrella's number one researcher."

Eddie said in his heart.

"Amazing! It's my first time seeing an algorithm like this!"

Eddie kept looking at the notes like a maniac. On the other hand, William saw all of Eddie's actions through a double-sided mirror.

"What do you think of him? Also, do I need to take that note back?"

Annette asked her husband.

"I don't want to deal with him; as for the notes, let him keep it. I don't need it anymore; all the information is already in my brain."

"You take care of him, also give him some benefits if needed. If you get a chance, do something about old man Spencer."

William answered in a nonchalant tone.

"My G-Serum is almost at its final stage; I don't have time for small things like this. Especially with that guy named Eddie."

William immediately turned around and walked away. Leaving his wife behind.

As for the thing about him getting out of Umbrella, he hadn't told Annette. In this case, he didn't want to say to her.

On the other hand, Annette couldn't help but sigh. Her husband had been looking increasingly annoyed and tired for months. It seemed that Alexia Ashford's appearance was why he became like this.

Even though the other party had died, William still couldn't forget that woman. When William and Alexia worked in the same lab, William felt that Alexia's talent was higher than him. Therefore, William was a little annoyed; he didn't want to accept that someone else was more intelligent than him!

Whatever happens, Annette will still try to protect her family, especially her beloved daughter, Sherry Birkin!

Karen was still with Eddie; she didn't move much and looked as cold as ever. Even though it looked like nothing had happened, she was actually trying to recover her stamina.

It had never occurred to her that the seemingly weak man called Eddie actually possessed such a mighty 'Combat Power'! Which is an excellent thing, according to a woman under codenamed LUPO.

(LUPO is Karen's code name)

Hours passed, Eddie still studying William's notes, and he had now reached the final page of the message.

This note is handy for Eddie; with his knowledge now, he feels more confident in making his personal Serum.

It would be even better if he could get a sample of the Serum that was used on Sergei.

The percentage of people who can tolerate T-Serum is tiny. A mismatch will cause skin decay, disordered metabolism, and endless hunger!

"Da!*

*Da!*

"Da!*

While Eddie was busy looking at the notes. The distinctive sound of high heels was heard.

The door to the laboratory room opened. The blonde woman in a ponytail reappeared; this time, Annette brought a cup of coffee.

"Tired of reading all that information? Drink up; you need to rest a bit."

Annette placed the cup of coffee on the table near Eddie.

Eddie nodded, still reading the note. Moments later, he closed the letter and immediately returned it to Annette. "This record is very extraordinary, a lot of unique information that I had never thought of before."

After an unknown amount of time, he finished reading the entire note. Eddie was delighted with its contents.

On the other hand, Annette's good feelings for Eddie began to grow; she was proud of the praise given by Eddie for the research of her husband's hard work.

"Of course, this note contains a lot of good information. There are so many researchers out there who want this, but they can only dream!"

"You are fortunate to be able to read it."

Annette said with a faint smile.

She watched as Eddie wanted to take the cup of coffee with a slightly doubtful expression, Annette could only say. "Don't worry, there's no poison in there."

"Haha, of course not. By the way, how is Dr. William doing? Is he still busy?"

Eddie laughed nervously.

"Yeah, he's still busy and still doesn't have time to see you."

"Also, I wonder, what exactly was Spencer's purpose for sending you here?" Annette asked shamelessly.

"Just telling me to help out with Dr. William's project, that's all. Plus seeking experience too."

"Who knows, maybe in the future I can do my own project?"

Eddie chuckled.

"What makes you ask about this? I know Dr. William had beef with Uncle Spencer. But there's no need to be so defensive, right?"

Annette frowned; she didn't know if the other party was lying or not. She immediately answered. "Good then, as long as you don't have any bad intention, I can promise you that you can get anything you want."

"Don't worry, I'm not too interested in their argument. As for the real reason why Spencer sent me here, I don't know for sure myself."

"It seems he doesn't really trust me either. So yeah, that's it. But I won't lie that I'm very interested in things about this Serum."

Eddie explained casually.

"If there's nothing else, then I'll go. I have other important things to do." Grabbing the cup of coffee, Eddie immediately emptied those cup. After that, he stood up and wanted to say goodbye to Annette.

"Wait!" Take this; it contains experimental data which will be of great help to you."

"Like what I said before. As long as you don't have any intention, then I'll give you anything you want."

Annette immediately stopped Eddie; she took a tape and gave it to Eddie.

"Give me 'anything' except the G-Serum, right?"

Eddie suddenly smiled slyly like a fox.

Annette slightly narrowed her eyes. "Yes, anything. As long as you don't tell anyone else..."

"Don't worry, I will not ask anything that makes you uncomfortable, haha. To be honest, I'm not really interested in G-Serum myself."

"Because sooner or later, I will make a stronger Serum!"

Eddie said as he spoke his mind. He took the tape that Karen happily gave him, after which he turned and left while waving his hand.

Annette stood still, watching Eddie's figure slowly disappear at the end of the hall.

Something that the man 'asked for' might lead to what she is clearly thinking at this moment.

She felt a slight chill behind her back.

Killing that man is not a good idea. Once Spencer received the bad news about Eddie, it would put the old man on guard. Which would be very dangerous. Annette didn't want anything wrong to happen to her beloved family and daughter.
