5 Talking with Doctor Fei Hua (1/2)
*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*
Waking up to the sound of a phone ringing, the man lying beside the bed used his pillow to cover his ears.
He let it ring a few more times before looking who would call him so early in the morning.
He suddenly sprang up and immediately picked it up once he saw the name 'Branch Manager – Wu Ken' display on the screen.
”Good morning Manager Ken, what can I do for you?”
He answered the call while setting up his wireless earphone.
{Doctor, regarding the observation report you made about a White Turtle evolving into a new species, do you still have the specimen? The main branch is curious.}
”Oh! Sorry Manager Ken but that monster is not from the lab, but my assistant's monster. I'll ask him to bring it over.”
{Okay. Bring it to the lab tomorrow morning.}
Doctor Fei Hua was just about to tell the Manager that Ji Liu would be at school at that time and won't be able to bring the monster when he already ended the call.
'Tsk' with nowhere to vent his anger, he dialed Ji Liu's number and set the phone to the side.
{Good morning Doctor Fei Hua. Is there something up?}
”Yes indeed, can you bring your Turtle to the lab today and leave it till tomorrow?”
The doctor asks as he takes out a sandwich from his refrigerator and heats it in the microwave.
{Uhhmm. The thing is Doctor, I won't be able to bring it.}
”Why? If it's about food, don't worry about it, there will be people taking care of it too.”
{It's not like that doctor, you see, I don't have it anymore.}
*Teet* *Teet* *Teet*
Ji Liu was so slow to talk that the microwave is already done heating the sandwich.
”What? Wait, don't tell me you already butchered it to make armor and shield?”
The doctor asked as he munches on his sandwich, but there was an even longer pause that he already finished eating the sandwich before Ji Liu replied.
{Can you keep a secret doctor?}
'Secret? What secret? This kid is being dramatic. Maybe he's being bullied and that's why he got the turtle? Poor kid.' The doctor thought to himself.
”Alright, alright, let's meet and talk about it at the lab after lunch.” The Doctor told Ji Liu in a consoling way.
Ending the call, he washed his hand and went back to sleep.
