Chapter 1055


    “Alright."


    “You sure get a lot of calls, kiddo. I might just finish this report by the time you''re done.’ Grandpa Beck


    chuckled, pointing at the screen as he spoke, "Look at this, the toxin is regenerating. I knew it! This


    morning''s experiment showed the toxin eliminated. How could it regenerate? As you suggested,


    something in the antidote might not suppress the toxin but instead provoke it. This could be a


    significant finding."


    “I suddenly remembered an old medical textbook you had me read as a child.


    It mentioned an ingredient that could inhibit the growth of toxins."


    “Of course! How could I have forgotten about that?” Grandpa Beck eximed joyfully, “Seems like


    having you scribble notes as a child paid off"


    Arabe smirked, "In addition to scribbling notes, I recall a few other things."


    “Oh no, let''s not bring up the past." Grandpa Beck feared she''d bring up old grievances. "When you


    were a child, you were so adorable. I couldn''t help but be fond of you. But I couldn''t just let you be. I


    had to be a bit stern while teaching you. You wouldn''t have improved otherwise."


    Grandpa Beckughed slyly.


    Arabe raised an eyebrow, "Just a bit stern?"


    Grandpa Beck hastily replied, "I was never like those other grumpy old men. I never physically


    punished you. The worst I did was make you copy medical texts or recite them upside down."


    Arabe nodded with interest, “Anything else?"


    “No, no. That was it. Let''s not dig up the past. Your friend Carol''s health is more important.” Beck


    sounded a bit guilty.


    As he turned away to continue his work, Arabe chuckled, "Grandpa, I will always remember the


    kindness you and the other grandfathers showed me."


    “No, no.’ Grandpa Beck dropped his tools in surprise, quickly turning to exin, "Don''t remember the


    times I was stern with you. Remember the times I was kind."


    Arabe tried to hold in augh, "I didn''t mean to hold a grudge."

    “That''s good. You scared me there. You were so talented as a child. We all wished you''d seed


    immediately. We worried a lot about you. Now that you''re sessful, you''ve attracted a lot of trouble.


    You will indeed be envied by others.” Grandpa Beck couldn''t help but worry.


    Arabe knew he was referring to the Doom incident, "Don''t worry, Grandpa.


    It will be over soon."


    "You''re an adult now. You make your own decisions. I know I can''t persuade you. But as long as I''m


    alive, I''ll do everything I can to protect you."


    Watching his back as he rambled on, Arabe felt a surge of emotion.


    Without these grandfathers teaching and guiding her, she might have been just an ordinary girl.


    "I don''t need your protection anymore.” Arabe smiled, her eyes shining with confidence, "I can


    protect you now: Grandpa Beck turned around, his eyes welling up with tears. He was surprised to see


    Arabe being unusually mature.


    He wiped the corner of his eyes and turned back to his work.


    “Find out where we can get that ingredient. If you find some, bring me a few."


    Arabe was already on the phone, giving instructions.


    Grandpa Beck quickly wiped away his tears and went back to his experiment.
