Chapter 1958 Reigniting Determination
Anderson was straightforward, "Mom, don't hide anything from me. I heard everything you and Dad
talked about on the restaurant terrace. I had suspicions before, today just confirmed them. Dad has
been poisoned, it's very dangerous, he's close to dying, right?"
Joyce was at a loss for words for a moment, Anderson was too young. To suddenly make him face
such a harsh reality, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Anderson, it's not as serious as you think. Dad won't die. There will be a way, look, Mom has been
trying her best," Joyce tried to explain.
"Mom, you don't need to explain. I've never seen you like this before, I know how serious it is. I must
tell you, I've peeked at your computer. What are you looking for? Do you need to use a large
database?" Anderson asked, "I want to help, let me help you. After I made changes to your program,
the speed can improve a lot."
"Anderson, these are adult matters, it shouldn't be your concern. Trust Mom will find a way," Joyce
didn't want Anderson to intervene, he was just a child. Children should be doing age-appropriate
things.
"Mom, if you have a way, why are you looking so worried? Would you cry secretly? Mom, don't deceive
me, even though I'm young, you can treat me like an adult. I understand everything," Anderson
insisted, "Now that I know, I can't pretend not to know. We have to figure out what's going on. I want to
help too."
Joyce couldn't say anything more, Anderson's mental age was different from others.
"Alright, I'll tell you."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
In resignation, Joyce had to tell Anderson everything about Luther's poisoning, the efforts of the biology
team to develop an antidote, including Athena's possession of a useless antidote. She told Anderson
everything, without sugarcoating.
"In short, I'm still searching for the secret lab researchers who were harmed by Otis, the data they left
behind, the web pages they visited, any information that could be related. I can't afford to miss
anything," Joyce pointed to the thick stack of documents on the table, "These were given to me by
Grandma. I searched for a long time, initially thinking that the two professors had successfully
developed an antidote, I relaxed, took a break in the middle. Now I'm starting over, time is indeed
running out."
"Does Dad have no taste?" Anderson asked.
Joyce was very surprised, "How do you know?"
"I observed, several times he misspoke. That's unlike Dad's character." Anderson's expression showed
a rare seriousness, "Mom, I don't know if you noticed, Dad's vision might also be affected."
"How could that be!" Joyce stood up abruptly, she hadn't noticed, "How do you know?"
"Intuition. In the last two times, I saw Dad using the computer, he pressed the wrong keys. There's only
one possibility, unless his vision has a double image, otherwise it's impossible," Anderson furrowed his
small brow, "Mom, time is tight now, let me help you."
Joyce's nose tingled, her eyes moist, "Anderson, it's Mom's fault. Mom didn't expect things to turn out
like this... In case, Mom is saying in case, Mom is really sorry to you and your sister."
"Mom, you have to pull yourself together. Just like before, when it was just the two of us together. You
have never been defeated by anything, you could before, and you still can. In my eyes, you will always
be the strongest Mom,"
Anderson spoke with shining eyes, with a determination beyond his age.
"Mom, let's work together. I don't believe fate will treat us like this. We finally reunited as a family, finally
got rid of Athena, finally your daughter and us came together. I firmly believe it won't happen, there
must be a way. We just haven't found it yet," Anderson nodded vigorously.
At that moment, Joyce was moved.
She never expected that in her weakest, saddest moment, the one who could inspire her would be her
young son. She suddenly felt ashamed. Yes, how confident and assertive she used to be, never
indulging in self-pity. Even in the most difficult times, gritting her teeth and solving one thing at a time,
she always succeeded.
Now, she found herself frowning every day, burning with anxiety inside, how could she do things well?
If she could stabilize her emotions.
Maybe there could be a breakthrough.
She was inspired.
She suddenly felt energized, she grabbed Anderson's arms excitedly, "Anderson, you're right. Blaming
won't help, being sad won't solve anything. You've woken me up. I need to go through everything from
start to finish. There must be something I overlooked. Nothing can disappear without a trace. There
must be something, I just overlooked it."
Anderson nodded again, he threw himself into Joyce's arms, "Mom, let's think together now. And, about
the big data you're using. Let me install an acceleration program for you, it can make it faster."
"Okay," Joyce hastily brought a chair for Anderson to sit.
She felt like she had found her old self again, no longer lost, no longer blaming fate.
She was Joyce, she was the sharpshooter who could measure to 0. 01 millimeters accurately, she was
the military dictator, she was the wife of a billionaire. She had four children. She couldn't let herself be
mentally defeated. Taking a deep breath, she reignited her determination.
The mother and son sat together in front of the computer, working in unison, starting their research.
On the other side.
Cecelia and Luther went out together.
Cecelia was thoughtful and considerate, she drove herself.
Cecelia frowned, she stopped at the intersection ahead.
Because of a phone call in advance, Mr. Baldwin was already waiting on the roadside.
Luther had already read it in the morning, this time he quickly signed it.
Two copies.
He handed one to Mr. Baldwin.
The other he gave to Cecelia, "Mom, you keep this will."
When Cecelia took it, she felt the weight in her hands was heavy.
