Rodney wept in pain and regret.


    He wanted to know why he had be like that too.


    However, his world had plunged into darkness.


    The doctor removed the needle and said," Young Master, I''ll give him another


    injection after two hours, and everything will be alright."


    "When will he wake up?" Ryan asked with mixed feelings.


    "One dayter."


    "Untie him and send him back to the old residence after the injection."


    Ryan gave a weak and light sigh before patting Jessica''s back. "Perhaps this is the best oue for him."


    "I understand."


    Jessica took a long and deep breath. Then, she straightened her back and shut


    her eyes.


    It might be a relief to forget certain things.


    However, it would break her heart to see him be a fool.


    "I''ve told the doctor to reduce the dosage." Ryan suddenly said, "His intelligence will be simr to a ten-year-old child''s."


    Jessica turned around and looked at him with surprise. Only after a while did she say, "Thank you."


    Having a ten-year-old child''s intelligence was, at least, better than being a fool. He couldugh, y, and take care of himself. Moreover, he would be naive, which was good enough.


    "You''re wee. After all... he''s my family."


    Ryan did not feel too good about it either.


    Despite everything, he had grown up with Rodney. There was, in fact, no need for them to have taken it that far.


    Unfortunately... They were fortune''s fools.


    After that, Ryan got busy handing over his work.


    His affair with Freya also gradually subsided on the Inte.


    A few dayster, Ryan went home to report to his parents. "I''ve already notified Professor Jacoby from the University of Canberra of the preliminary exam I''ll be


    sitting at the end of the month. I n to move out of The Lodge for the time being to prepare for the exam because my ce is closer to Professor Jacoby''s. It''ll also be more convenient for me to consult him whenever I have questions."


    Nathan snorted. "Consultation and studying are just excuses. You''re nning to move out so that you can cultivate your romantic rtionship, aren''t you?"


    Nathan saw through Ryan in no time, but Ryan saidposedly, "Dad, don''t use me. I''ve set my mind on studying."


    After pausing for a moment, Ryan added with a smile, "Having said that, it''s indeed more convenient to cultivate my rtionship if I live on my own. The Lodge is sometimes too far out when I''m on a date."


    Heidi was under no illusions about her son''s intention. Instead of stopping him, she asked, "Are you nning to live with Freya?"


    "I do wish to live with her..."


    After Ryan finished speaking, his parents rolled their eyes at him. All he could do was touch his nose in embarrassment. "But her parents won''t approve of it, and neither will Freya."


    Nathan let out a sigh of relief. He hoped that the two of them would not live together so soon.


    It would be best if the two of them broke up.


    Of course, Nathan was only thinking it to himself.


    Should he stop Ryan? He could not be bothered to do so.


    "Dad, Mom, don''t worry. If you ever need m e, I promise that I''lle right back." Ryan said with a smile, "Having said that, I haven''t been able to live freely for the past 2 6 years. Now that I''m going to pursue a Ph.D. for the next few years, can you let me rx sometimes? I can get tired as well."
