Chapter 85 Rejection.

After Dr. Vera left, Dr. Eugene told Lu Xia that the Fertility Research Institute was looking for him.

Lu Xia was not surprised to hear this. She had discussed this matter with Dr. Eugene long before the birth of the child. They wanted to turn the natural pregnancy into a breeding process, and all the procedures were breeding procedures. As long as they did not accept the gene extraction of the Fertility Research Institute, it would not be discovered.

The more openly they act in matters like this, the less likely they are to be suspected.

So Dr. Vera wanted to come and see Little Grape in person, and Duke Lu Xia had no objection. He thought that he could only see her this once anyway, and it would definitely not be okay to come and see her all the time.

The more you cover it up, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion from the genetic research institute.

After confirming the time with Dr. Eugene, Lu Xia ended the call.

There is still a week before Little Putao's full moon. Lu Xia discussed with Smellian that after holding the full moon party for Little Putao, they would go back with him to visit Mrs. Raphaeld.

Smelian didn't expect that she actually remembered this. He was a little happy, but he didn't want Lu Xia to worry about him. "My mother came last time. There's no need to go back. It's the same anyway."

"It's still different. I'll go back with you. Mother probably won't bother you anymore in the future." Lu Xia said this simply and naturally, and Smelian felt warm in his heart.

It turns out that the purpose of going back with him was all for him.

"Okay." He didn't say anything else and accepted the kindness with a smile.

After Lu Xia returned to the bedroom, he told Grace about the people from the Fertility Research Institute coming to see Little Grape. Grace knew that Lu Xia had discussed everything about Little Grape with Dr. Eugene, so she nodded and said, "I'll pay more attention that day."

With Grace around, Lu Xia naturally felt more at ease.

The next morning, Dr. Eugene appeared at the Duke of Luxia's mansion with Dr. Vera, who was dressed in a suit and tie.

The old housekeeper welcomed the two inside. On the way, Dr. Eugene naturally asked the old housekeeper about Little Grape. Speaking of the fat boy, the old housekeeper's face was full of smiles: "Little Master Grape is doing well now. He has gained a lot of weight since the last time you saw him. He can eat and sleep well. He is very well behaved and doesn't cry or make a fuss."

Dr. Vera listened to these words and felt that they were meaningless. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything special about it?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the old butler shut up and looked at him warily, as if he thought he had bad intentions, which made Dr. Vera depressed.

Dr. Eugene smiled to ease the atmosphere and introduced himself to the old housekeeper, "This is Dr. Vera, an expert at the Fertility Research Institute. She heard about Little Grape's situation and came to take a look."

The old housekeeper's vigilant eyes remained unchanged: "Doctor Eugene, you should understand that our lady only trusts you."

"Of course I know that. I won't let my lady down." Dr. Eugene accepted the old butler's behavior of raising his own value well.

Dr. Vera, though reluctant, had to admit that his easy access was entirely due to Dr. Eugene's influence. Even if he felt resentful, he had to hold back and wait until he saw the child. After taking the information Dr. Eugene had given them back, they eagerly analyzed it. They found nothing unusual; it was all standard breeding procedures and records.

It's nothing special, just like what Eugene said, it might just be a coincidence!

But again, they used the genes of other 'defective' males for breeding, but got no results.

Therefore, this meeting with this "special" cub is particularly precious. I wonder if I can persuade Duke Lu Xia to agree to let him draw some blood for research.

Presumably, it would be more direct to find the answer directly from the sample.

With this in mind, the old housekeeper had already taken them to the baby room on the second floor. Lu Xia knew they were coming, and had been waiting there with Grace in advance.

"Ma'am, Dr. Eugene and the people from the Fertility Institute are here."

"Let them in." As soon as Lu Xia finished speaking, Dr. Eugene walked in with a smile, "Good morning, Duke Lu Xia, good morning, Grace, are you taking a day off today?"

Obviously the last sentence was directed at Grace.

"Yes, take a rest today." Grace responded and put the little grape in Eugene's arms. "It has gained a lot of weight recently."

"Yes, she looks chubby now, and even prettier than before. How come our little Grape is so pretty? Let uncle weigh her."

Dr. Vera stood aside and watched Eugene put the little fat cub on the scale. He had to admit that the child was raised very well, but it was just very good. There was nothing special about his appearance. He was no different from other cubs bred through breeding techniques. If he had to say something, he was just a little cuter.

This inevitably made him feel a little disappointed.

Looking at Duke Lu Xia standing beside her, Vera felt that she had to take action. The basic information obtained by Dr. Eugene was of no value to their Fertility Research Institute.

"Duke Lu Xia, I'm a researcher at the Fertility Research Institute. My name is Vera, and it's an honor to meet you today." Dr. Vera walked up to Lu Xia with a smile. "We heard that when your cub was bred, your husband wasn't a genetic fusion. We at the Fertility Research Institute attach great importance to this. I'm sure you understand that this means it's possible to change the social status of defective males. I wonder if you could allow me to draw some blood samples to take back for research. If we can find something valuable through your cub, it will definitely benefit the country and the people."

After listening to the other party's words, Lu Xia smiled and said, "If you can get something valuable from the blood sample, would you like me to donate my child to you for research? That would be more conducive to contributing to society, right?"

Dr. Vera wanted to say that it would be great if he could think that way, but fortunately he wasn't too stupid and understood the meaning behind Duke Lu Xia's words: "Of course, we know you'll be reluctant, but on this path of research, there will always be sacrifices."

"Heh!" Lu Xia chuckled. "It seems you don't know me very well yet. I have a research institute under my name. If I wanted to contribute to the empire, wouldn't I do my own research? Why should I give the research results to you? What benefit can you bring to me? At most, I will write the names of the contributors in an inconspicuous place on the research report. The honor and halo will belong to you, while the sacrifice will be for others. So don't talk about whether you contribute to the empire or not. It sounds hypocritical."

"I hope you guys at the Fertility Institute understand that the reason you're here today is because of Dr. Eugene. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see my little Grape. And don't even mention such an unreasonable request as drawing blood. Do you think I'd agree?"
