Nathan was determined to uncover whether it was a mere coincidence or if someone had intentionally shown something strange to a five-year-old child.


    Aldric said, “I’ll check it now.


    But don’t worry too much; it shouldn’t be a big deal.


    It’s probably just a coincidence.


    ”


    Nathan nodded in response.


    In five minutes, Aldric had questioned several doctors on duty in theb.


    After a thorough inquiry, he discovered that the book had been given to Colby by Dr.


    Eugene Fuller, a biochemist.


    Eugene was in his sixties, with a gray beard, a straight nose, and angr features.


    He wasn’t a native of Cadiered.


    He was a doctor from Aldoria.


    Aldric and Nathan made their way to Eugene’s office to meet him in person.


    In the corridor, Aldric leaned in and whispered to Nathan, “Eugene has a peculiar temper.


    He is unsociable, irritable, and always buried in his studies.


    He doesn’t give much thought to social interactions.


    Sometimes, his actions are downright baffling.


    ”


    Other doctors in theb often criticized Eugene behind his back, calling him Frankenstein.


    Nathan’s brow furrowed in thought as he absorbed the information.


    It appeared that some individuals immersed in science and medicine often possessed strange personalities.


    Hilliard had also been quite entric in his own right back in the day.


    However, Hilliard was now happily married to Jennifer.


    Their bond had grown strong over the past few years, marked by stability and affection.


    He was a changed man, no longer consumed by his obsession with medical research.


    However, Eugene was a different story.


    In his sixties, Eugene had been divorced for years.


    His ex-wife had left him, unable to tolerate his entric personality.


    He had no children, and it had been over a decade since his divorce.


    Eugene seemed resigned to his solitary existence, unlikely to alter his reclusive habits anytime soon.


    As they conversed, the two of them soon reached the door of Eugene’s office.


    Just before opening the door, Aldric cautioned, “Nathan, go easy on him.


    Eugene isn’t the type to curry favor.


    He does whatever he wants.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    If he dislikes someone, he will speak his mind.


    If he is angry, he will scold them, regardless of their status.


    It doesn’t matter if you wield power or not.


    To him, everyone is the same.


    ”


    Nathan couldn’t help but frown.


    Along the way, Aldric had filled him in about Eugene.


    Although he had a strange character, Eugene preferred to live an ordinary life over ttering the powerful.


    Nathan found himself liking such a person.


    Why would someone like him give Colby such a weird book like “Pathological Psychology”?


    As Nathan mulled over this, he knocked on Eugene’s door.


    Although he knocked three times, there was only silence on the other side, no hint of movement.


    Aldric chimed in, “Maybe he stepped out for a bit.


    Want me to keep an eye out and give you a heads-up when he is back?”
