Chapter 359 Ophelia
said, "Theo, I heard it was Kenneth's mother..."
Theo nodded and said, "Yes, that came later. Initially, the miracle drug was bought out in large quantities, with each dose selling for hundreds of thousands. Ordinary people couldn't afford it at all." Upon hearing this, Ophelia frowned.
It was just like when people said that the lives of those in the slums didn't matter much.
She said, "So no one controlled that?"
Theo smiled helplessly and waved his hand. "Who would have handled it? The system back then was incomplete, and ordinary people had no way to survive."
Ophelia suddenly recalled what the old man from the slums had said, and it seemed to make sense after all.
She said, "In that case, Mr. West is quite compassionate."
Theo snorted and turned to look out the window.
Ophelia was left puzzled by his snort.
Then she said, "And what happened next?"
Theo said, "That miracle drug could only take effect for a while, just allowing people to live a bit longer than usual. Later, Grace Lawrence, Kenneth's mother, appeared. Everyone in Dellanex knew her name.
"She spent a month discovering a solution. Then, over two weeks she extracted the antigen. Her only request was free vaccinations for everyone in Dellanex. It proved effective, with immunity developing within three months. "About six months later, Dellanex gradually returned to normal. People slowly forgot about the disaster, and it was forbidden to mention it. Anyone who did would be arrested. With this example set, no one dared to bring it up again." Ophelia finally understood why, whenever she tried to learn about that disaster, people would always show the same look on their faces. Now she knew the reason.
This approach was really tough.
Ophelia said, "So, it was after that when the slums started forming, right?"
The people in the Gloomhaven slums endured all the suffering and injustice caused by the disaster.
Theo nodded. When he decided to take Ophelia as his god-granddaughter, he had already investigated it.
She came from the Gloomhaven slums.
He never expected that she had such a strong obsession and ever wanted to redevelop that place.
He turned his head, frowned tight and said, "Elia, I've already warned you. If the virus from back then is released, all of Dellanex and even the entire Heloria will be affected. "You, Kenneth, and the whole Sinclair Group will face complete disaster because of this action. The Wright family is a prime example. And at this critical moment..."
Ophelia nodded. She understood that someone intended to use her to accomplish something, but she didn't know if it was too late to stop it.

After saying goodbye to Theo, Ophelia exchanged a few words with Mark.
She said, "During this time, keep a close watch on Zayn, find out who is backing him, and pay special attention to the recent actions of Hardy and Francis."
Theo's help today made Ophelia able to have a moment to catch her breath and look into the virus.
If it was the virus from back then, everyone in Dellanex had been vaccinated, so a repeat of the past was unlikely.
Suddenly, she got a message.
Ronin: [Kenneth's vitals are stable. Don't worry.]
Ophelia: [Thank you, Dr. West.]
Ronin looked at the message and was about to reply with [No problem.] when a call suddenly came in
He hadn't planned to answer it, but as he was typing, he accidentally pressed the answer button.
"Why aren't you here yet on such an important day?" Adams said.
Ronin reluctantly put the phone to his ear and said, "Adams, you know I really can't leave here."
He was actually telling the truth. He couldn't leave Kenneth here alone.
Adams said, "You... Queena just got back today. You're her brother. How can you not be here?"
Ronin listened quietly as Adams berated him over the phone.
In the end, Adams just said, "Fine. It's up to you!"
Then he hung up the phone.
After that, Ronin breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't make it back.
Meanwhile, at the presidential palace in Waston. "Dad." The office door was knocked on, and Noah walked in.
Seeing Noah, Xander immediately thought about their phone conversation.
Xander stood up from his chair and said, "Noah, is what you said true? Queena didn't die back then?"
His voice shook with excitement.
"Yes. Ronin has already done the test." Noah handed the report to Xander.
Xander quickly took it and flipped to the last page. His hands were trembling, and his eyes turned red.
He said, "What... What happened?"
Noah explained, "The Davidson family wanted to protect themselves, so they didn't kill Queena but kept her with them.
"What?" Xander's expression turned sullen at these words.
He was sure that they wouldn't treat his daughter kindly.
He asked, "Where's Queena?"
Noah said, "Adams has already brought her home, and Moin is on her way back."
Grabbing the coat from the back of the chair, Xander headed out and said, "Hurry up! Get the car ready!"
The car drove all the way from the presidential palace to the West residence.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

At the West residence. Xander's car arrived at the residence almost at the same time as Elena's. They both stopped in front of the modern villa.
As Xander got out, he intended to say something, but Elena avoided his gaze and went straight into the hall.
Xander sighed helplessly and followed Noah into the hall.
