Chapter 151
Diana’s pov
Unlike usual, Nathan wasn’t wearing the usual formal suit, but instead had on a white lab coat, something only lab researchers would wear.
At that moment, he had his hand on the handle of the fire exit door, seemingly about to push it open. But upon seeing me, his movement froze.
In his amber eyes, reflected flames filled the sky, along with shock and disbelief.
I thought, this must be my illusion.
How could Nathan possibly be here in the lab? And why would he be dressed so oddly?
Yet, as I was lost in my thoughts, that so–called “illusion” actually ran towards me.
I was completely stunned, so much so that I didn’t even notice a beam, broken by the fire, hurtling towards me.
All I saw was Nathan’s pupils suddenly contracting, veins bulging on his forehead.
In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of me.
Then, he grabbed me and pushed me away with one hand, while the other wiped my ear.
Bang!
The intense sound jolted me back to reality.
Instinctively, I glanced back, seeing a blazing pillar rolling on the ground.
I couldn’t help but wonder, if Nathan hadn’t pushed away that pillar just now, what would have become of me?
“Are you hurt?” he asked urgently, holding my shoulders.
“I’m…I’m fine,” my head still felt dizzy.
I didn’t understand…
Didn’t Nathan hate me to death?
Why did he risk coming back to save me when he could have escaped through the door just now? Shouldn’t the right thing have been to block the exit, letting me burn along with the raging fire, avenging his Avia?
I really couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.
Seeing that I wasn’t hurt, Nathan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
His throat visibly swallowed, grabbing my hand, he said, “Let’s get out first.”
I also knew it wasn’t the time for random thoughts, so I nodded vigorously and ran with Nathan towards
the fire exit.
Tongues of fire and waves of heat chased after us, evaporating the oxygen and moisture around us.
Tongues of fire and waves of heat chased after us, evaporating the oxygen and moisture around us. But fortunately, we were very close to the fire exit, and in a moment, we rushed out.
The flames were separated by the door.
We descended two floors in a row.
Just as he was about to continue running down, I let go of him.
Nathan turned back to look at me, shocked. “Are you out of your mind?”
“Are you the one who’s out of your mind?” I gasped twice, opened the window at the stairwell, and gestured for him to look up. “Take a look.”
Dozens of helicopters were hovering above the top floor, on an emergency firefighting mission.
Downstairs, fire trucks were also ready.
“Don’t worry, the fire won’t spread.”
I had already made complete preparations long before planning this explosion.
I couldn’t possibly harm innocent people just to deal with William
I sat down against the wall and wiped the sweat off my temples.
Nathan’s gaze was still fixed on the sky outside the window, his brow slightly furrowed, as if pondering something.
I rested for a while and was about to stand up again when something caught my attention.
It was a notebook, lying right by Nathan’s feet.
“What’s this?” I murmured, reaching out to pick up the notebook.
Before Nathan could react to stop me, I managed to grab the notebook and open
When I saw what was written on it, my eyes widened in shock.
- it.
I looked up at Nathan, trembling lips, and asked, “You actually…actually sneaked into the lab to steal the
antidote formula?”
Nathan immediately denied, “How could you call it stealing?”
“If this isn’t stealing, then what is it?” I shook my head. “I never thought the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack would stoop to thievery.”
Nathan’s face darkened, glaring at me coldly. He reached out to me, “Give me the notebook.”
How could I give it back to him?
This was the result of my hard work.
Moreover, I had just blown up the entire lab. Who knew if Nathan would turn around and give the data and formula on the book to William?
Then, wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain?
But…
1 scrutinized Nathan..
Speaking of William, weren’t Nathan and William allies? Why did Nathan have to dress like this to sneak into the lab to steal the formula? Why didn’t he just ask William directly?
Seeing that I wasn’t budging, Nathan repeated, “Give me the notebook.”
“Nope,” I raised an eyebrow. “Unless you tell me why you came to steal the antidote formula?”
I stared at Nathan without blinking, afraid to miss any change in his expression.
However, Nathan just smiled indifferently.
“I’ve invested so much in this project, isn’t it normal to come and check the goods?” he said.
“If it’s so normal, why didn’t you just tell William directly instead of sneaking behind his back to steal the formula?” I didn’t believe Nathan’s words at all, pressing him, “What are you up
There was a twitch in the corner of Nathan’s eye.
to?”
“That’s none of your business. I’ll say it again, give me the notebook, don’t force me to take action.”
His tone contained a warming.
But I wasn’t afraid at all, provocatively smiling. I tore off the page containing the antidote formula right
in front of him.
Instantly, Nathan’s eyes widened.
He lunged at me, trying to snatch the paper from my hand
But I was fasier than him, and I crumpled the paper and stuffed it into my mouth.
“Diana!” Nathan shouted urgently, “Spit it out!”
“I’ve already swallowed it.” I rubbed my throat, which was stung by the paper, “If you want it, kill me, then cut open my stomach.”
1 met Nathan’s angry gaze head–on.
There was no way I was going to let him have the antidote formula.
“You…”
Nathan grabbed my arm, glaring at me with gritted teeth.
Several times, I felt like he wanted to strangle me.
But suddenly, his body froze.
Then, he looked down.
Before I could react, his hand was already in my pocket.
It was the detonator!
I hastily reached out to stop him.
But it was too late.
Nathan carefully examined the detonator in his hand, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He raised his eyebrows, giving me a meaningful look, and asked, “Did you set up the explosion?”
