Roderick Lambert was sitting behind the carved desk with a cold face in his exclusive study building in the Lambert Manor.
His brown eyes were frigidly cold, almost visibly slashing through his disheartened underlings who stood before him.
The more silent Roderick was, the more scared his men became.
Witnessing a brewing storm, Richard Harris scolded them first, “What a bunch of losers! How could you not even locate a simple address?”
Bill Keaton, who had been watching silently, rolled his eyes and said with a smile, ” She had her driver lose Timothy with her driving skills, eh? No wonder she’s Mr. Lambert’s choice. That’s really impressive!”
Hearing this, Timothy Jackson, who was being scolded, immediately felt better.
Timothy raised his head slightly and nodded repeatedly. His aggrieved eyes were almost filled with tears.
Listening to the weak explanations of his men, a flicker of veiled curiosity began to seep into Roderick’s otherwise icy demeanor.
“Enough,” Roderick said.
Roderick glanced at Bill with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Richard looked at Bill and knew that the bonus for this month had been secured. Then Richard shouted, “What are you waiting for? Get out!”
Hearing this, Timothy immediately ran away with all the men.
Then Roderick said, “I’ll give you half an hour. I want all her information during the past seven years.”
“Yes, sir. I’ll take care of it,” Bill happily promised.
But after a while, Bill came back with a sad face. “Mr. Lambert, I… I screwed it up.”
“Huh?” Roderick frowned. “What’s going on?” he asked.
“Mr. Lambert, you should chop my hands off. I am useless, and I didn’t find anything,” said Bill.
“Get out of here,” Roderick said angrily.
“Okay, Mr. Lambert,” Bill said and breathed a sigh of relief.
Roderick pinched his glabella and turned on the computer. He quickly typed on the computer for a while, but he couldn’t find anything except for Melanie’s arrival in Solustria seven years ago and her departure from Solustria.
Roderick took off his glasses. Then he picked up the phone as if something had suddenly occurred to him.
The call was answered quickly. Before the other party could speak, Roderick said directly, “Here’s a task for you. I’ll send you the information. After it is done, I will add 200 million dollars to the investment into Genuine Tech.”
After thinking for a while, Roderick made a phone call again.
“Michael, can intermittent blindness be cured?” Roderick asked.
“Why do you ask that? Are you blind?” Michael Gibson asked.
“Shut up. Can it be cured or not?” Roderick asked.
“It depends. Generally speaking, there are two causes of intermittent blindness.
“One is the physical factor, and the other is the psychological stimulation.
“It’s easy to recover from physical damage as long as the patient leaves the old environment, but it will be more troublesome if it is caused by psychological reasons.”
Michael paused and concluded, “In general, some people get better after they suffer intermittent blindness once and others have repeated strikes.”
“Will they be blind forever?” Roderick asked.
“Yes. The longer and more times the intermittent blindness lasts and occurs, the more likely the patient is to go really blind,” Michael said.
“Can it be cured?” Roderick asked.
“It depends on the patient’s condition. Well, who are you talking about?
“Hello?” Michael kept asking.
Roderick hung up the phone silently, reflecting on that night seven years earlier.
Was it the shock of that night that made her blind?
Or was she blind before that?
Roderick stared at the picture on his computer for a long time.
The woman in the photo with her eyes closed seemed to be a sleeping fairy. It was Melanie.
