As he typed away, Arabella looked at him, her eyes filled with surprise and admiration.
After a while, Romeo asked her to take a look at the screen. Seeing the final equation, Arabella suddenly thought of a new solution.
"I've got it," she said, seemingly inspired and started to work on the separation experiment again.
In the meantime, Grandpa Beck made two video calls to discuss the progress with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt around three in the morning, Grandpa Beck said, "Alright. Consider my old bones, that's enough for today.
Don't forget Romeo. Without his help, we wouldn't have found a way. Go get some sleep." "Just a bit longer." "No more waiting! Romeo, take her away. She used to stay in the lab for days, treating it like home. I'm telling you, I'm going to cut the power!" Romeo laughed. "Okay, grandpa." "Don't spoil her too much, just because she's young doesn't mean she can abuse her health. I'm hanging up." After hanging up, Arabella continued with her experiment. Romeo didn't rush her but quietly stayed by her side.
After a while, Arabella wondered why he hadn't rushed her.
"If you're inspired, work a little longer." Hearing Romeo indulge her like this made Arabella feel a bit guilty. Looking at the time, it was almost dawn.
"Let's continue this tomorrow." Arabella took his hand. "Let's go. Time to sleep." Romeo even forgot to take his tablet, letting her lead him away as he tightly held her slender fingers.
The next morning.
Jack had sent the time and location for the meeting.
[Painting, 8 p.m., old warehouse.] [Music score, 9 p.m., private club box.] [Ms. Bennett, we can't find any background on these two. Want me and Jones to tag along for protection?] [No need. Not many can pose a threat to me back home.] [I'm worried that they're from those organizations, trying to lure you out.] said Jack, sounding regretful. [I saw so much money last night and didn't think too much. Ms. Bennett, maybe | can try to delay the delivery?] [Do you think they figured out that Dr. Bell and Melody are the same person?] Arabella countered.
[Well, that's unlikely.] After all, no one would associate Dr. Bell and Melody.
Plus, Ms. Bennett was always careful. Not many knew about her identity.

[Don't worry, | can handle it.] Arabella didn't take this seriously and went downstairs after replying to the message.
At seven in the evening, Romeo asked, "Are you sure you don't need me to accompany you?" "Yeah, | can handle it myself." If the other party had a simpler identity without much background, then Romeo's presence would be unnecessary. Arabella didn't need his protection.
But if the other party was a member of a powerful organization or multiple organizations, then Romeo would be in danger if he went.
So, from any angle, it was best for Romeo not to go.
Thinking about this, Arabella comforted him: "It was the same when | took jobs before, and I'll be back soon after a quick trip."
