Chapter 1449 Medical Experiment
"When I'm abroad, I'll make sure to video call you every day," Toby added.
Sonia smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll stay up and wait for your call. But if you're busy, don't worry about it." "If I'm busy, I'll let you know beforehand," Toby replied.
Sonia nodded. Subsequently, Toby stood up. "Alright, I'm going to freshen up and get some rest," he said.
"Go ahead." Sonia waved him off.
Meanwhile, in Tim's private lab, Taylor woke up only to find herself in a room filled with all kinds of instruments. Currently, she was strapped to a cold operating table. Feeling frightened and anxious, she called out, "Where am I? Is anyone there?"
"You're very noisy!" A cold voice sounded from behind her.
Taylor couldn't turn her head to see who it was, so she asked, "Who... Who are you?"
The voice didn't respond, and the room fell silent. Taylor could hear her own breathing, and in the quiet, the room felt even more sinister. Immediately, her heart was pounding and she was covered in sweat. "Who are you? What do you want?" she asked, her voice trembling with fear; she was in tears.
Finally, there was some movement, and Taylor heard footsteps approaching. The sound of the man's leather shoes echoed in the room, making her even more afraid. Finally, she saw the man in a white lab coat. He was tall and slender with a refined hairstyle and handsome features. He wore glasses with no rims, looking gentle and intimidating at the same time. His appearance suggested he was friendly and approachable, but his emotionless face and the chilling aura he gave off made Taylor shudder with fear.
"I-It's you!" Taylor stared at him in disbelief. "Dr. Lancaster, what do you want?"
She realized that the man was Tim, who was currently holding a syringe with clear liquid inside. He raised the syringe high and examined it under the light before flicking it and finally looking down at her with no emotions. It was as if she wasn't a person to him, but rather a pig or a lamb about to be slaughtered. This terrified Taylor, who turned as white as a sheet. Although Taylor hadn't had much contact with this doctor, she had heard rumors about Dr. Lancaster from her parents. He was a monster, born without emotions and destined to be antisocial. Even his parents, who are doctors, couldn't love him and saw him as a monster. In fact, he indeed seemed like a monster. Even as a doctor who was supposed to heal people, the way he looked at his patients was not like someone treating an illness, but like he was looking at a corpse, just like now. Hence, every time she came to this hospital, she tried to avoid him as much as possible, but she never expected to end up in his hands.
"It's me." Tim looked at Taylor, who was clearly terrified. His lips curved into a smile, seeming satisfied with her reaction. Taylor's scalp was tingling, and she wanted to scream. However, she was afraid of angering this madman. Thus, she could only clench her hands tightly and hold back her fear.
"W-What do you want? Why am I here?" These were the two questions she wanted answers to the most.
Tim squeezed the syringe in his hand and a few drops of liquid oozed out. Two icy drops landed on Taylor's face, making her cry out unconsciously. But as Tim glanced at her, she quickly shut her mouth again. "Why are you here? Toby brought you here for me. I have a medical experiment coming up, and I couldn't find a subject. You just happened to be the perfect one."
Medical experiment?! When Taylor heard these words, her eyes widened in horror.
"Y-You want to dissect me?" She had seen it in movies before. It was a punishment some prisoners of war were subjected to. She never thought this monster would use her for a medical experiment too. "Let me go! I don't want to be your test subject!" Taylor struggled violently, her face turning red.
But Tim just stood there watching her silently as if watching a clown. "It's useless. These straps are made of special materials and can withstand a ton of force. No matter how hard you struggle, you won't be able to break free."
"Why?" Taylor cried, tears streaming down her face. "Sonia said she would let me go back to take care of my dad. Why aren't they keeping their word?" She would rather they keep her locked up than send her here to be a guinea pig.
"Sonia did say she would let you go, but Toby never did. You almost killed Sonia and her child. Did you think Toby wouldn't do anything and just keep you locked up for a few days?" Tim said while pushing up his glasses. Taylor's mouth opened, wanting to refute him, but she couldn't find the words.
"Don't worry, I won't dissect you. I'll make sure you're well taken care of. I just need you to be a test subject for a while, and then I'll let you go. I'm not going to kill you."
Hearing this, Taylor breathed a sigh of relief. But in the next second, Tim's words made her collapse. "Although I'm not going to kill you, the process won't be pleasant. I hope you can endure it. If you can, you'll be able to go back in one piece. But if you can't, you might not survive."
"What?" Taylor was shocked. "You dare to kill me? Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"
Tim's contemptuous expression
was impossible to hide. "I thought having pretended to be Sonia in the Gray Family for so long, you would understand the power of influence and what it can do. Alas, you're just a chicken. Even if you live with the eagles for a while, you're still a chicken, and your knowledge and perspective are always limited to that of a chicken."
"You..." Taylor blushed with humiliation and anger at his words.
Tim continued, "You're already a fake, and getting rid of you would be easy, not just for Toby, but also for me. We have ways to make you disappear completely from this world without a trace. Even if someone finds out that I killed you, with my position in the medical world, they won't be able to touch me. After all, compared to me, you're just a nobody. No one will risk their life for a nobody like you, because they all want to live."
Taylor wasn't stupid, and she could clearly understand the meaning behind his words. Because of that, it only made her feel more scared. "H-How did things become like this?"
