Everyone looked up following the voice.
After catching sight of Hugo Hayes's figure, an even deeper silence befell the crowd.
As former staff of the laboratory,
the sole investor of the genetic project, of course, they had seen him.

After all, as a group of researchers, they had nothing in common with a businessman.
Now,
seeing their former patron at Professor Doyle's house was a surprise to everyone.
Their gazes all drifted toward Ellie Doyle's direction, filled with doubt or bewilderment.
Ellie Doyle did not explain but looked up, staring in Hugo Hayes's direction, "You've only slept for a short while; won't you sleep a bit longer?"
"Without you, I can't sleep."
