Triplets on Secret Mission

Chapter 1565

As she listened to the steady thumping of his heartbeat, the crisp freshness of his breath lingered at the tip of her nose. Molly’s restless heart was temporarily calmed.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Once the venomous insect in your body is removed, we'll return to the Grandset."

She yearned to leave the island and its troubles behind, to live a peaceful and quiet life with her family.

His hot breath was sprayed on her neck, making her heart skip a beat.

She rolled over and hugged his waist tightly, their bodies pressed close together.

"Sleep and get refreshed," Sean said as he gazed down at her.

"Okay," she replied with a sweet smile before closing her eyes.

She didn't see the dim light that flickered in his eyes.

His hand tightened around her as he stared at her face unblinkingly, as if trying to imprint her image in his heart.

The night grew deeper.

The once-bustling island fell silent, shrouded in eerie darkness.

Outside the old storefront of the Shepard family's underground research lab, a figure wearing a cap appeared.

Eaton stood before the store, cautiously surveying his surroundings.

For days he had been secretly observing the store.

He had figured out that it was just a front for something else.

It was a cover.

As for what was behind the scene...

Every time Molly entered, she would spend an entire day inside.

Eaton suspected that there were underground research rooms within.

Both as doctors, they were familiar with this kind of thing.

The old neighborhood was dead quiet.

At night, it was like a ghost town with no surveillance around.

After pausing for a moment, Eaton quietly pried open the lock and slipped into the store.

He was so bold because he had confirmed that no one was inside.

Earlier, an old man and two young men had quietly left.

These were all people related to Molly.

Eaton knew that this was his chance.

Soon, he looked around in the light of the street lamp shining in from the window.

The furnishings were quite old.

There was nothing other than the mottled walls and the broken cabinets.

Eaton strolled around but found nothing.

He couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

Had he been wrong?

But this place didn't seem like one could stay peacefully for a day.

Maybe there was a secret chamber.

With this thought in mind, he began to feel along the walls with his hands.

He pressed and knocked about.

Ten minutes later, near a cupboard, he made a discovery.

The ornaments of that spot were odd.

A flash of joy crossed Eaton's eyes.

He subconsciously touched a vase that was set up on the cabinet.

It sagged in the next second.

Then, a whole wall next to it slowly parted from the middle, revealing a dark stairway.

Eaton was overjoyed.

He had been right. There was really something inside this place.

Without hesitation, he walked straight in.

Not long after, the wall closed again.

And silence returned to the store.

Eaton didn't care. Following the passage, he slowly walked down.

Soon, he got a full view of the basement.

It was completely different from the dilapidated store above.

Inside, it was decorated according to the standards of an institute with medical equipment and cabinets filled with various drugs. It was no less impressive than a research room at the base.
