Chapter 586 - Who is Regina? (1/2)

Sarah was just staring at Jeff and JoAnna. She was not sure how to respond. Sarah is happy that they got them the house, but at the same time she knows that it's something expensive. Considering size, location and all the extra features, that house was at least tens of millions! She didn't expect this.

JoAnna moved closer to Sarah and held her hand. ”Hey… I can see what you are thinking. How I see it, without your help I would not have my man or the resort. The resort is worth a lot, and thanks to you, we got it for one hundred dollars. Don't think that us getting you the house is too much, because you did a lot more for us.”

Jeff was very happy to hear that JoAnna is talking about two of them as 'us'. That was music to his ears.

Sarah wanted to ask Aiden when he found out about Jeff's intention to buy that house for them. And how come he didn't tell her about it. But that can wait. She was still processing the fact that two of them are now owning that spy-dungeon cliffside house. Together with a topic of her stamp signature, list of things to talk about in private with Aiden was increasing.

”Thank you…”, she said in a weak voice. Somehow all strength seeped out of her and she could not speak normally.

Aiden pulled her into a hug. ”Now we have our home...”, he whispered into her ear.

Sarah nodded and relaxed in his embrace.

”It seems we will need to hire staff for that house as well.” Sarah was happy.

”I want to see how that house looks like.”, Sophia reminded Sarah.

”Yes, yes… you can see photos on my phone.”, Sarah beamed while fiddling with her phone. ”And I will let you know as soon as we settle in, so that you come and see it in person.”

”I have one more announcement…” JoAnna grinned. ”I got approved to add second area of specialization to my residenship: DNA research!”

”Second focus?”, Sophia was surprised. ”Don't you have already a lot on your plate? With surgery, and the resort, all the work you are doing with Felix, and you will soon be Mrs. Jeffrey White… I don't mean that you should not do it, I'm just concerned that it might be too much.”

JoAnna shrugged. ”I don't know if it's too much. Deep dive into DNA is something I wanted to do for a long time. When we spoke about those two families going after us, it made me think what I can do. And this is something I CAN do. We already have strong anesthetics that can target different things. Now imagine if I make that something that is DNA dependent? Like a virus which targets only one person, or one family based on their DNA.”

”Sounds like science fiction.”, Sarah was excited.

”People flying was science fiction, until first plane got off the ground.” JoAnna responded right away. ”In new house I will set up my lab, so I can do a lot of work from there.”

”Mad scientist”, Sarah mumbled, teasing JoAnna. ”That would be cool. If all that is too much, you can always slow down or drop something.”

JoAnna was pleased that Sarah supports her. ”Big sis, I can do this.”, she told Sophia.

”I didn't mean to discourage you. I'm just concerned that you are stretching yourself thin over too many things. I am happy for you. But remember to rest and take care of your body.” Sophia advised sincerely.

Jeff wanted to say that he is taking good care of JoAnna's body, but he swallowed his words. It was not appropriate to say that at loud.

JoAnna thanked Sophia for support. ”I admit that I'm juggling many things. But I'm not alone. Besides you two, I have Jeff. And Bridgette is helping a lot as well. I don't feel overworked.”

”Talking about Jeff's support…”, Sarah interjected. ”Who is Regina?”

JoAnna rolled her eyes. ”How do you know about her?”
