Chapter 648: "Allison," he asked, his tone almost playful, “has he always been so possessive?" Though he tried to sound casual, a hint of jealousy and discomfort crept in as he adjusted the coffee machine. "I'll admit, I'm a little envious he got to know you so early." Allison raised an eyebrow, amused. “Yes, he has been like this since childhood. But there's no need to fret. Now that I'm your girlfriend, what he thinks doesn't influence us. Besides, although I experienced a lot with him when we were young, that's in the past. From now on, we'll stay together to face whatever awaits us in the future."

In the end, it was he who held Allison's hand now, and he had no intention of ever letting go.
"In a few days, the counterfeit access card for the lab on Fleeingland will be ready." Allison settled onto the sofa, her expression turning uncharacteristically stern when she mentioned this topic. "Do you have any updates?" she asked, her voice carrying a sense of urgency.
Kellan placed a steaming cup of coffee on the table in front of her.
"I've managed to track down the black market dealer. It's confirmed that the earrings were smuggled out of Fleeingland by a woman named Lilian Reynard." "As I suspected," Allison muttered, taking a slow sip of her coffee. The rich, earthy aroma of the coffee helped her focus, grounding her thoughts as she considered the implications. Without wasting any time, Kellan grabbed his laptop from the side table and opened it, setting it in front of Allison.

"Clearly, her vital signs are fluctuating wildly," Kellan noted, eyes narrowing as he studied the screen. “But at least we know she's still alive."
Allison's gaze remained fixed on the screen, her sharp eyes swiftly identifying numerous irregularities within the rapidly changing data. It was clear to her that the body being monitored had undergone a series of brutal experiments, each leaving behind traces in the fluctuating data. points displayed.
