When Jean saw her advisor in front of her, she instinctively moved behind Eliza, as if she was genuinely afraid the school might do something terrible to her.

“Jean, why are you hiding? There’s an issue with your thesis. Come to my office later and fix it.”

The advisor had hardly interacted with Jean before – their contact had been limited to the occasional online message about coursework.

Jean didn’t believe for a second that the advisor would come looking for her at a time like this.

She glanced at Eliza for help, and Eliza replied, “No need. I’ve already arranged for Jean to transfer to another school. The transfer paperwork will be ready in the next few days, so there’s no need to revise anything.”

Eliza had already thought about Jean’s personal safety. Keeping her at Claire University’s medical school was not an option, especially after Jean had publicly supported Emilia online.

The advisor, unaware of the situation, was momentarily stunned. “Withdrawal paperwork? Why don’t I know about this?”

“You’re just a small–time advisor. Do I really need to consult you on something like this?”

Realizing he was speaking to the daughter of the Sue family, the advisor quickly backtracked. “Yes, yes, I spoke out of turn. I’m just surprised – why drop out all of a sudden? Jean’s already in her second year.”

“With everything that’s happened at the medical school, they’ll probably struggle to recruit any new students in the future. Why wouldn’t she leave?”

The police were still investigating how those people had died.

If it turned out that the missing freshmen over the years hadn’t died in accidents, Claire University’s medical school could very well be shut down or seized.

Once that happened, its degree would be worthless.

If you were going to run, this was the time.

When the advisor stayed silent, Eliza simply took Jean by the arm and led her out of the medical school.

Halbert had already sent people to pack all of Jean’s belongings.

Jean hadn’t expected Eliza to think things through so thoroughly.

She looked at her gratefully. “Ms. Eliza, this had nothing to do with you to begin with. For you to get involved this much, to transfer me to another school and pack my things… I’m really grateful.”

“For the sake of your senior classmates, I’m willing to help someone like you.”

Eliza said, “Remember, no matter what happens at the medical school over the next few days, don’t go back there. I’ve given you two bodyguards. They’ll protect you from the shadows the whole time. Until this is over, you’ll have to put up with their watch. Can you do that?”

Jean nodded seriously. “I know you’re doing this for my own good, Ms. Eliza. Of course I can. It’s for my safety.”

Eliza nodded. “Good. We still have other matters to investigate, so we can’t stay with you. I’ll have my driver take you to the apartment I prepared.”

“Alright.”

Jean agreed, and after Eliza and Halbert left, she departed Claire University’s medical school under the bodyguards‘ escort.

“According to our investigation, there were no external injuries on the bones. The victims likely didn’t die from physical trauma. And with more than twenty bodies found in the same place, accidental death has been ruled out.”

Their subordinates relayed the coroner’s preliminary findings to Eliza and Halbert. Their people were working closely with the police, ready to pass on the official cause of death as soon as it came in.

Eliza already had a suspicion. “Could they have… been killed by an injection of some kind?”

“It’s possible. This is the medical school’s lab building after all. The police are focusing on whether Claire University’s medical school has been conducting illegal human experiments all these years.”

And they had never heard of a school using its own students for graduate–level experiments before. It was a blatant disregard for human life – chilling to the core.

Right now, Eliza only wanted to know if Wendy had been caught. Halbert seemed to read her mind. “No one’s been able to find her. I just called Henry, and he said their people are looking too.

Wendy’s in Westbrook, and after so many years with countless admirers, finding a place to hide wouldn’t be hard for her. But with things blowing up like this, I doubt she can stay calm.”

“What would Wendy want to do most right now?”

Eliza thought carefully.

If she were Wendy, and all her dirty secrets had just been exposed…
