The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 685
Joshua noticed Cedrick’s unusually stern expression. “What’s on your mind, Cedrick?”
Cedrick was staring at the cover of the book, Abnormal Psychology, and thinking about what Benedict had said to him earlier in the ward.
“Benny told me a professor in the lab gave it to him, so I came to ask you since you were with him the most. Who else spends that much time with him?”
He wanted to know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate act to give a five-year-old child something so disturbing.
“I’ll look into it,” Joshua promised. “I wouldn’t be too worried, though, Cedrick. It must have been a coincidence.”
Cedrick nodded.
Five minutes later, Joshua found out from the professors on duty in the laboratory that it was given by a biochemist named Eugene Yortz.
Eugene was an elderly professor of about sixty, with a snow-white beard, a straight nose, and chiseled features.
He was not Chanaean. Instead, he was sent from Astoria as part of a collaborative project.
Joshua led Cedrick to Eugene’s office to pay the professor a visit.
“Eugene is a strange fellow,” he warned Cedrick in a whisper along the way. “Aside from having a funny character, he’s withdrawn, easily irritable, obsessed with research, and has zero regard for interpersonal communication skills. The things he does sometimes are bizarre.”
Behind his back, the other professors called him Professor Nuts.
After listening intently, Cedrick mulled it over for a while.
