Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 616

After pushing the door open, Giselle found Donovan hunched over a microscope, completely absorbed in whatever he was studying. He was so focused that he didn't even notice her come in.

Giselle sneaked up on him and waited until he was done and straightened his back before slipping her arms around his neck from behind. Perhaps it was because he was too immersed in his work, but being touched in the middle of the night startled him.

"What are you doing here?" Donovan turned around and found her there. His blood boiled. "It's late. Why aren't you in bed? Hurry up and get some sleep!

"You're not supposed to be staying up. Get out, right now!" he said before rising from his seat and ushering her out of the lab.

"I slept for a few hours already. I woke up and noticed you weren't there, so I came to check on you. You should get some sleep too!"

"I know. Don't worry about me. Hurry up and go back to sleep!"

Giselle, however, didn't want to leave. "What exactly are you doing? Do you really have to stay up every single night? Why can't you let your company's research team handle it? If you keep abusing your body, what are you going to do when it gives out?"

Donovan looked exhausted, but he wasn't the least bit sleepy. He pinched the bridge of his nose, picked up his glass of water, took a sip, and came clean.

"It's a new drug for epilepsy. The research project started two years ago. My team produced several versions, and I rejected every one of them.

"I didn't expect you to be diagnosed with it. So, I can't afford to waste any more time. The drug was supposed to launch next year, but I'm planning to move it up by a few months."
