Chapter 1544: Chapter 1516 Mr. Joel, You’re Getting Arrogant, Huh?

"Third, how much longer will your targeted medicine take? What?! At least a year? Damn! Can’t it be any faster?" Edward Farmbright bellowed into the phone.

Spencer Tatum’s signal was unstable, and his words were intermittent.

"This is already the fastest possible timeline, and I haven’t even factored in the human trial phase yet."

"Can’t it be any quicker? Can you get it done in half a year?"

"No, I can manage other formulas, but there’s a special plant ingredient that can only be extracted after waiting for a year, I can’t synthesize it, I can just wait, a year is already the fastest I can promise."

The development of a targeted medicine for rare diseases is an extremely complex process, and Spencer Tatum had been struggling with it for many years. Now, he was finally nearing the end stage, but fate had played a cruel trick, missing the deadline by just half a year.

Edward Farmbright, furious, threw his phone. Just half a year, only half a year away!

Why did God have to mess around like this, why couldn’t He give him just a bit more time?

Yuzo Joel saw how dejected he was, and was just about to comfort him when Mario Yuno’s call came through.

"Um, Father-in-law... I’ve got something to tell you."

"What’s happened to Kiara?" Yuzo Joel asked.

As soon as Edward Farmbright heard it was about Kiara, his brows furrowed. He couldn’t say he harbored no resentment towards her in his heart. He always thought, if the old man hadn’t been so preoccupied with Kiara, maybe he could have held on a little longer. He didn’t need much, just half a year. If Edward Wheeler’s targeted medicine had been ready, maybe the old man could have been saved!

"What? Ha ha, that’s great, I’m on my way over." Yuzo Joel, after hearing what Mario Yuno said, was beaming with joy. A smile also returned to his pale face as he hung up.

"What’s with that Grandma now?" Edward Farmbright asked irritably.

"Yacob, you used to get along with Kiara so well, how come you suddenly changed?"

"Just looking at her makes me angry!"

"In the end, it’s because you refuse to accept reality. You’re blaming my illness on her, but Yacob, you’ve misunderstood your junior sister. If it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t have made it this far at all. My body is practically on its last legs; it was only for her that I’ve held on until now."

Edward Farmbright knew what he said was true, but he couldn’t suppress the sorrow in his heart. He was aware that Kiara was innocent, but couldn’t help wanting to find some reason to vent his frustrations at this moment.

"What’s actually happened to her?" Edward Farmbright asked.

"She’s got good news, want to know?" Yuzo Joel teased, extending his hand. "Bribe me with some money, then!"

"She’s pregnant." The Fox Cat returned just in time to hear this, and Yuzo Joel pursed his lips, missing the chance to swindle Yacob out of some money.

Kiara had just returned from the hospital, having just seen off her overly-excited nana and mum, when Yuzo Joel, the Fox Cat, and Edward Farmbright came over.

"How’s your health?" Like Mario Yuno, Yuzo Joel was primarily concerned about Kiara’s well-being.

"Pretty good, the doctors said there’s no problem. It’s just that I’m a bit worried about Wendy..." Kiara was still wondering how to break the news to her daughter.

When she arrived home, the Young Aunt had already put Wendy to sleep, and Kiara hadn’t had the chance to explain to the child.

"You don’t need to worry about her, she’s already agreed."

"...How did you know?!" Kiara was surprised.

Yuzo Joel winked, "I speak baby talk, I know how to communicate with children."

"It’s not like that at all," Grandpa Griffin had taken little Kiara to connect her to a lie detector during the time you were Outside, asking her a whole lot of questions—by the way, how on earth did you have this Child? Her IQ doesn’t match her age at all. If we didn’t know that experiment was only conducted once, I’d suspect this kid was—"

Edward Farmbright noticed that Kiara’s Young Aunt was present and didn’t finish his sentence.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Soul Particle Experiment at the Farmstead was only conducted once, and JR had always been unsuccessful, he really would have suspected that Wendy was someone who had her soul exchanged. He had seen so many kids, but only this one could possess complete logical thinking at such a young age, which didn’t match the growth characteristics of her age group at all.

"How did you ask her?" Kiara asked Yuzo Joel, curious.

Kiara felt she had no right to criticize that her Dad had used a lie detector on Wendy, because she had done the same when she had been bored out of her mind.

"I just asked her if she’d like to have one or two little slaves, you know, the kind that follows her around shouting, ’Boss is so cool,’ someone to hold her cup when she drinks, someone to carry her bag when she goes out. She thought it was a great idea."

"..." Spoiling the Child!

At that moment, Kiara suddenly felt sympathy for the Baby in her belly. It hadn’t even been born yet, and Grandpa Griffin had already classified it as a lackey who could only shout ’666’?

"Of course, I also told Wendy about the responsibilities of being an older sister. These responsibilities and obligations are relative, right? If underlings serve the boss, then the boss also has to protect the lackeys and not let anyone bully them—Kiara, what do you think of my parenting advice?"

"Mr. Joel, you... you’re getting carried away!" Kiara had run out of compliments for Dad and resorted to calling him by his name.

No matter how Grandpa Joel had brainwashed Wendy, the conclusion was that she agreed to having more brothers or sisters.

Kiara felt relieved when she heard this; others might be skeptical about her Dad’s methods, but she believed them wholeheartedly, albeit a bit mystically.

She and her Daughter did indeed have a unique way of communicating that others didn’t understand.

The group then discussed arrangements for Kiara’s work after her pregnancy, ensuring that the follow-up homework and work were well scheduled to ensure that she wouldn’t overexert herself and cause poor development of the fetus in her womb. Seeing Mario Yuno and Yuzo Joel engrossed in their conversation, Kiara used the pretext of asking for help with homework to call Farmbright Farmer into the cabin.

"How’s my Dad’s health? Didn’t you say you had hired an expert before?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"The truth."

"No more than half a year... Damn, just half a year short! Younger Martin’s targeted medicine would have been successful in a year, why can’t we save him!" Farmbright Farmer had been instructed by Pesticide Farmer not to tell Kiara.

But with Kiara’s temperament, hiding it from her was nearly impossible, especially since six months from now would be right in the middle of her pregnancy, and it would be worse for her to find out then without any mental preparation.

Upon hearing this, Kiara felt darkness before her eyes and stumbled backward several steps as she struggled to catch her breath.

"How could this happen?"

Just half a year?!

"I wish it were false too... but the experts I’ve hired are the most authoritative, there’s nothing more to be done."

"No, we have to come up with a solution, no matter what!" Kiara held back her tears, her brain running at full speed. There had to be a way.

How could such a great Dad have only half a year left?

"Call Fox Cat in here right now, just say we need to talk about homework, quick!" Kiara commanded.

Farmbright Farmer went out to call Fox Cat. Yuzo Joel seemed to sense something was amiss, and just as he looked in that direction, Mario Yuno, who was always in tune with Kiara without needing to communicate, came over and grabbed his arm.

"Dad, I have a Go board here. Let’s play a couple of rounds!"
