LnD | Chapter 18

Baek Kyung realized that 3091f3175d Si-ron’s claim of having d0ab736b56 a boyfriend was a 1be04aada2 flimsy lie when Dr. Johnson rejected 5ef975f277 Si-ron’s friendly 5294069a86 touch. Moreover, Johnson’s 205a189e96 attention was 51631fc5c2 entirely focused 3fe68f4735 on Baek f653933e64 Kyung, who 9e667ad459 had suddenly a4602e1a1c appeared, rather f40440f626 than Si-ron. All of Dr. Johnson’s uninvited a13e96cc3e visitors had 4610b5fcbc only ever 0c348e97c5 come with bd25c186ab the intent 25b1352513 to abduct aabff41ef6 him.731a2aaf9cde873e

Baek Kyung glanced 94cc3e9eff at Johnson’s notebook 1924866173 on the desk. It contained notes 951238fe93 written in Albanian.ee977e7162ac062a

Treatment for the d666a49360 test drug: Discontinued.
Result: Recovery.3350533671d6d84d

It seemed like an 9ea5b6c9d4 ordinary clinical report. It implied 04a0d49800 that Dr. Johnson was 41fe478f6b conducting some 1529cfb815 kind of af7d3d6b55 clinical trial 1e140004e5 on people. Skimming through the notes 356566f400 written in Albanian, Baek c13a29f8d9 Kyung asked,4daecfd7f8522639
