Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



"You've really opened my eyes." Wendell burst into laughter.

He asked eagerly, "Do you know how many private hospitals like that exist?"

Percy answered, "I know of three, but all three of these hospitals are for cancer patients. These hospitals generally only focus on one terminal illness to conduct research.

"They would definitely not accept a psychiatric patient like Wanda. Rather than hospitals, they're more like laboratories that are successful in their research."

Percy added in a low voice, "Wendell, keep this to yourself!"

"Come on, we've known each other for almost ten years! Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Wendell understood what Percy was hinting at.

Most of the private laboratories researching on terminal illnesses would get terminally ill patients for experiments.

Although they could try their best to cure the patients and would usually reimburse the patient's family with a huge amount of money if any problems occurred, it was still unethical. It was why these hospitals were built in remote forests and mountains.

At Wonderland Steakhouse, Gareth and Carlisle had just ordered two steaks.

Max wasn't with them that day, but Sean had come with Gareth.

Sean was there because he had good news for Carlisle.

The three of them had just sat down when Carlisle stared at Sean and asked, "Is the Alumni Network ready?"

Sean's delight disappeared at once, and his face fell as he said, "Carl, couldn't you just let me tell you myself?"

He turned to look at Gareth and said, "Gareth, did you tell Carl?"

Gareth shrugged. "I'm not that much of a blabbermouth."

Carlisle opened a bottle of beer and poured out a glass. He said casually, "You managed to make it within half a month, which is faster than I expected. Good job."

Sean's face lit up into a smile at Carlisle's compliment. "You're too kind, Carl. You provided the content for the functions, and I just programmed it. I think 15 days was actually too long!

Carlisle's lips curved slightly, and he raised his glass and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Woodsen."

Sean hastily poured himself a glass to clink it with Carlisle. "I didn't let you down, Carl! But

... Why are you calling me Mr. Woodsen?"

Carlisle took a sip of beer. "Owen's younger than you, and I call him Mr. Barlow."

Sean laughed. He downed his glass of beer. "I'd forgotten about him. Should I call him that in the future as well?"

Carlisle merely smiled and said nothing. He looked as if something was weighing on his mind.

Sean had heard about Wanda, so he said comfortingly, "Carl, look on the bright side. Wanda is sure to be back very soon!"

Carlisle took another sip of beer, picked up his knife and fork, and said, "Let's eat our steak." Gareth suddenly asked, "What's this Alumni Network for?"

He had been hanging around Dragonaire Studio for the past few days, and all he knew was that Alumni Network made websites, Xenos was for semiconductors, and Gavon was making phones.

He hadn't really tried to understand in detail, nor did he have the time to do so. After all, apart from Dragonaire Studio, the other companies had nothing to do with him.

Sean explained the role of the Alumni Network to Gareth.

After Gareth heard about it, he pursed his lips and said, "Can this even earn money?"NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Sean said confidently, "As long as there are users, it will definitely make money. However, it does require a lot of funds to promote it at the beginning!"

Sean stole a furtive glance at Carlisle.

The website had been made, but the server room hadn't been built yet.

They would need at least five million in funds, including the fees for promotion, advertising, and maintenance.

Even then, that would only be sufficient for light advertising and promotion.

Carlisle put down his knife and fork, took a sip of his ice-cold beer, and asked, "How are you planning to promote and advertise it?"

Sean said, "We're planning to hand it over to an advertising company. It'll save time and effort, and they're professionals!"

Carlisle shook his head and said, "That's why the publicity department is so important. It may save time and effort to outsource to an external company, but they cost a lot and may not reach my expectations. We've only just started our business and should save money where we can!"
