Chapter 514 The Vaccine Will Be the Death of Us
The succession of the vaccine could save countless people. Although the virus was in Espad, it would spread here if they didn’t control it.
The people at the research center sat together and chatted for a long time, and most of their conversations were about positive things. After all, they had made remarkable achievements this time. Due to the successful research of the vaccine, history would remember them.
When it was finally 9.00AM, the reporters readied themselves since this particular research was a massive breakthrough in the medical field.
Each one of the research center’s members walked up one by one. Some of them were nervous as they were the type to work hard and had never stood in front of a crowd before. They first introduced the vaccine and its research progress. Then, they said that the vaccine would be free of charge to the public.
Amid this grand scene, their words won the respect of the reporters.
Then, a reporter asked Nicole something. “Miss Nicole, we know that you are the apprentice of Dr. White, who has allegedly thieved from others’ research results. Although it has been clarified, we still wish to hear it from you.”
When she listened to the person’s words, Nicole smiled faintly and said, “A clear and innocent conscience fears nothing.” Although her words were not much, many people still applauded her.
At that moment, the conference was coming to an end. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a disheveled man suddenly bolted inside. Even though the bodyguards tried to stop him, he still managed to get inside. When the man entered the room, he roared, “The vaccine is not done yet! It will be the death of us!” He repeatedly said those words and even took out a red banner, raising it high up in the air. Although the bodyguards tried to drag him away, the man was strong. He struggled out of their grasp and continued, “The vaccine is not done yet! It will be the death of us!”
His words caught the reporters’ attention, and they raised their cameras while looking at the man. On the stage, the people at the research center were panicking. They didn’t know what was happening as their vaccine was mild and had never killed anyone.
“What’s going on? Didn’t we follow up with those who had taken the vaccine? Didn’t they say that they were fine?”
“We did check up on them, and everyone was fine. Why is this happening?”
While they were still in discussion, Nicole looked at the man, who was still yelling. Pierre must’ve sent this person here, she thought. As Nicole thought about it, her lips curled into a cold smirk, waiting to see what he would do.
“Don’t worry. I’ll go and take a look,” Nicole said faintly. Then, she stood up and walked down the stage.
Although bodyguards surrounded the man, he was still screeching as if he had been through a trauma.
Nicole didn’t come close to him. There was a slight distance between them as she raised her voice and asked, “Did you say that the vaccine killed people? Did someone you know die?”
When the man noticed someone questioning him, he quickly looked toward where the sound came from. He looked as if someone in his family had indeed died, for his eyes were bloodshot. “Are you the one in charge of this?” he asked Nicole.
“Somewhat,” Nicole said while nodding.
At that moment, the man’s expression turned ferocious. He bolted toward her direction like he was going to tear her into pieces. Luckily, the bodyguards stopped him.
“Our lives mean nothing to you. Why would you guys use the vaccine in clinical trials when it is not done yet? My sister is dead because of you guys!” he yelled.
When Nicole heard his words, her face sank. Dead? Impossible. Nothing happened when we did so many clinical trials back then, she thought.
“Sir, I would advise you to watch your words as you need to take legal responsibility for this. The research center gives the vaccine to Espad for free. If anything were to happen because of your words, you would be taking people’s lives away.”
