Chapter 183
He waved his hand casually, “You guys go eat, she stays.”
Oswaldo grabbed Lizzie, then looked around before finally settling his gaze on Zackery.
“Zackery, go to the cafeteria and bring back two meals.”
Lizzie just got up, then got pulled back down to sit.
Other people curiously asked Zackery, “Who is Lizzie? Why did Oswaldo pay special attention to her as soon as she arrived?”
Oswaldo pushed himself hard, never expected anyone to keep up with him, Lizzie was the first.
Zackery didn’t beat around the bush, he said directly, “The information on the lithography machine in our hands was given by Lizzie.”
“Really?”
“Didn’t Oswaldo used to go out often before? It was all for her. The improvement of semiconductors was also Lizzie’s doing.”
Others turned back and looked at Lizzie.
Judith, who was walking at the back, didn’t hear their conversation. She was staring at Oswaldo and Lizzie’s heads close together, with a clear look of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Others noticed that Judith was falling behind and quickly called out, “Judith, hurry up! I heard there’s roast chicken in the cafeteria today.”
All eyes were back on Judith, which made her feel a little better.

As the only girl in the research institute, Judith was always taken care of by everyone. Today, suddenly there was a younger and prettier girl than her, which made her very unhappy.
But who could compare to her later on?
The task Theron carried out wasn’t dangerous, but it required a lot of time for surveillance.
He wasn’t sure if he could finish the task before the New Year. But because he was in a hurry, he didn’t even have time to tell Johanna, “Can she take care of the house?”
Theron stared at a distant nest, munching on his individual rations, taking a bite of snow, and lowering his head.
Days went by, and Theron hasn’t heard from him in half a month.
Johanna still went to work at the factory every day, with her belly sticking out, doing her job. She wanted Theron to see how tough and resilient she was, hoping he would feel sorry for her.
Without Theron, her waiting is in vain. She’s feeling frustrated and anxious every day.
Working in the factory is no joke, it’s not like Equinox Research Laboratory where you can just hang out. The days in the factory are tough. Walking around among the machines all day, her feet were swollen and her small shoes were starting to feel tight..
What really got to her were those gossiping female workers.
Theron just went to do his job, but in their mouths, it turned into “Theron doesn’t want her anymore.”
Once again, when they were gossiping behind his back, Johanna walked straight up to them.

“Theron just went on a mission, you military spouses too, haven’t your men gone on missions before? Haven’t they been gone for ten days or half a month?”
The female workers exchanged glances, rolled their eyes, and made a mental note to be more careful when talking about her in the future.
Johanna saw what they meant, and she was really pissed off.
After work, she dragged her two legs like they were filled with lead, back to that lonely “home“.
There wasn’t a bit of warmth in the room, everything was cold and lifeless, it didn’t feel like home at all.
She was fed up!
She didn’t want to live through another day like this!
The next day.
Johanna didn’t go straight to the workshop like usual, she went to the office of the head of the technical department instead.
When she saw the door of the technical department’s office open, she weakly leaned against the wall, showing that kind of vulnerable yet strong expression.
Gabriel Duncan, the head of the technical department, was 32 years old and in good shape. He may not be as tall and imposing as Theron, but he was refined and talented.
He was walking with his head down, looking at the documents in his hand. Suddenly he heard someone softly calling out, he looked up and noticed Johanna about to faint, so he quickly walked over.
“Miss, are you okay?”

He got closer and then noticed that Johanna was pregnant, which surprised him even more. “What’s wrong? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Johanna lifted her head and showed a pale face, “I’m fine, just need to take it easy.”
Gabriel was shocked when he saw her pale face, “Are you sure you don’t need help? Should I notify your family?”
He said, then turned around to call someone.
Johanna grabbed his hand and then, like she got an electric shock, immediately pulled her hand back.
“Sorry, I was just in a rush…”
