Chapter 240 Young and energetic
Dr. Eric shook his head inwardly.

Young people are full of energy; they couldn't contain themselves even after just meeting.

However, he can understand it.

Everyone has been young. Back in college, he was a very popular figure, and was adored by many young girls.

Of course, that's all in the past.

Time has passed, and he is no longer the dashing man he once was, but a decrepit old man with a full head of white hair.

Their fondness for romance has also shifted to the scientific field.

To a large extent, it's just that I'm getting old and my strength is failing me.

Now, he just wants to fill his stomach.

Eric's eyes lit up when he opened the package that had been brought back.

"Wow, Krabby Patty, the food today is really good."

"Jane, what's wrong? This isn't like you at all."

The old man was a little puzzled, wondering why Jane, who was always frugal, was being so generous today. After hearing that Daisy's boyfriend had paid the bill, he nodded knowingly.

Also.

He knew perfectly well how frugal Jane was.

To save on experimental expenses, his disciple reduced his daily expenses to a minimum, buying only the cheapest food, clothing, and accommodations.

Even when I occasionally go to the supermarket, it's mostly because the supermarket is having a big promotional event, or because I've accumulated enough coupons.

According to Jane, having enough to eat and wear is fine; the most important thing is to spend money wisely.

Eric neither confirmed nor denied this.

Saving money is always a good thing.

But he himself wouldn't do it.

He's already this old, and it's uncertain how many more years he can live. He doesn't want to be so hard on himself.

Besides, no matter how much you cut back on spending in your daily life, you won't save much money.

We still need to find a way to open source it.

Just like Daisy's wealthy boyfriend, Dr. Eric thought he was a great sugar daddy.

"So, you're not going to object to Daisy dating her boyfriend?"

Jane hadn't expected the doctor to have this attitude.

She thought that even a PhD would offer some advice.

After all, in her eyes, Tommy was by no means a suitable man to entrust her life to.

Daisy will get hurt sooner or later because of this.

However, the doctor's answer left her speechless.

"What's there to advise?"

Eric shrugged.

Breakups and reunions, ups and downs—isn't that what love is all about?
Besides, he's not Daisy's parents or family; at most, he's a teacher. What right does he have to stand in a high position and interfere in other people's relationships?

In the end, even if he really tried to persuade her, Daisy would have to listen to him.

However, given the current situation, it's pointless for him to say anything.

Just then, Daisy's unrestrained screams came from upstairs again.

The doctor gave Jane a look.

That means, see, I was right.

Jane was also helpless.

Daisy's "cooperation" was just too good; it was practically flawless.

This prevented her from saying anything more, leaving her with nothing to say.

"Sigh, young people these days really don't know how to be considerate of us old folks."

Eric shook his head, picked up his hamburger, and went outside to have lunch.

He's getting on in years; he doesn't want to eavesdrop on other people's conversations here.

Jane, however, stayed behind and did not accompany them.

Observations of astronomical phenomena require someone to monitor the instruments at all times.

Even the slightest oversight could cause us to miss a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.

This is why Dr. Eric didn't go out to eat with them, but stayed in the lab instead.

Of course, if it were a large, formal laboratory, they would have all sorts of advanced high-tech equipment that could conduct 24-hour uninterrupted monitoring.

But small workshops like theirs don't have those conditions. They can only rely on manual labor.

Despite the tremendous noise, Jane sat in front of the experimental equipment and patiently looked at the various data displayed on it.

However, the more she persisted, the louder the noise from upstairs became.

The noise ignited her anger, making her restless and agitated.

Finally, Jane couldn't stand it anymore. She left her seat and went upstairs, intending to ask them to keep their voices down a little.

However, the closer she got to Daisy's room, the more she felt that something was wrong.

I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs run.

Although she doesn't have a long-term partner yet, Jane still has some knowledge in this area.

Know what the normal sounds of male-female lovemaking should be like.

But the commotion of the two people upstairs was far beyond what ordinary people would do; it was more like two wild beasts in the jungle fighting to the death for territory.

Or perhaps it's the scene of a crime or murder.

It's no wonder Jane would think that way.

Daisy's cries were so pitiful, they were almost as mournful as a cuckoo crying blood.

This made Jane worried, and she began to suspect that something terrible had happened in the house.

With this in mind, Jane approached step by step.

During the process, she also picked up a baseball bat from a corner of the corridor.

It's unclear whether she intended to use it for self-defense or simply to bolster her courage.

Just as she reached the door, the sounds inside the room abruptly stopped.

"what happened?"

Jane grew increasingly worried.

The silence now is even more unsettling than the noise just now.

"No, I have to go in and take a look."

Extremely worried about Daisy's safety, Jane reached for the doorknob.

But after thinking it over, she decided to wait and listen to what was happening inside before making a decision.

What if she's just overthinking it?

Wouldn't that just add to the awkwardness?
He took a small step forward before trying to put his ear against the door.

It was quite a coincidence that the bedroom door just happened to open at that moment.

Jane, whose center of gravity shifted, immediately lost her balance, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Tommy came to her aid in time; otherwise, she really doesn't know how badly she would have fallen.

"It's Miss Foster. What's up? Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by."

Jane gave an awkward laugh and quickly hid the baseball bat behind her back.

She was as fast as she could, but she still couldn't escape Tommy's eyes.

Most importantly, the baseball bat was so long that even if Jane hid it behind her back, it wouldn't hide it at all; in fact, it only made things more obvious.

"Oh, I see."

Tommy glanced behind Jane, taking in the entire baseball bat.

Passing by?

Who believes it?
However, he didn't intend to expose it.

That would only put both sides in an awkward situation.

It would be better for everyone to pretend they didn't see anything.

"Excuse me, where is the bathroom?"

"Just keep walking straight ahead and you'll get there. It's the one with the sign on the door."

He said this briefly, pointing in a direction.

Tommy thanked him politely, then turned and left, heading towards the bathroom.

Jane finally breathed a sigh of relief as he walked away until he disappeared from sight.

"Phew, I finally got through it."
