Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1937

Lucy began to cry, her burning tears falling on Hugo's neck. He adjusted his position and gently patted her shoulder, encouraging her in the softest voice. "Lucy, you'll get better. I know you're not weak."

It had been days since Lucy had last cried, but now, she could no longer hold back and vented all her grievances. "Hugo!"

…

At dawn, Lincoln opened the main door of the Newton residence and walked out. He crossed the street and entered one of the townhouses on the opposite side.

Lincoln bought this townhouse not long after Chandler bought the Newton residence. After all, a basement was not enough to store the experimental supplies he needed.

Lincoln stood by the door of the laboratory, took out the keys, and pushed the door open. He found Kingsley inside, holding the stimulant he had recently developed.

Kingsley heard the sound, but he didn't look over. He just swirled the glass test tube in his hand with great interest. "Not bad, these solutions are very pure. You're quite talented, but there's still room for improvement."

Once the chemicals in the test tube had fully reacted, he casually placed it on the test tube rack and then wiped his hands. "If I were to guide you, you would reach a whole new level."

"What are you trying to say?" Lincoln stood tall and proud, slightly frustrated.

Kingsley took two steps toward Lincoln and asked enthusiastically, "Do you want to be my apprentice?"

Before Lincoln could answer, Kingsley began to boast about himself. "You know, I'm a VIP guest of your father. Learning from me won't be embarrassing, and I'll make you the next world-renowned doctor."

"Are you begging me now?" Lincoln lifted his chin arrogantly.

He couldn't let that happen. He must take on this apprentice.

Kingsley pretended to clear his throat and walked over to Lincoln with his hands behind his back. He wanted to speak but hesitated. After trying a few times, he was still unable to say anything.

Lincoln put on a sly grin and deliberately offered more lenient terms. "I can be your apprentice, but only if you agree to three conditions."

"Just three? Even 30 wouldn't be a problem for me." Kingsley quickly agreed.

"Then 30 it is."

Just as Kingsley let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a little short of breath. This kid was so cunning and smart.
