Chapter 569 Lusamine and Family Portrait

Although it was not clear that Luo Mu really didn’t know the gender of Qiuqiu’s sea lion, Barnett still used this sentence to speak.

"Except for the fact that it is female, its current age is less than a week old, its body is severely malnourished, and its development is smaller than that of its peers of the same gender."

"But there are no big problems with the body's bones, so there is no need to worry about the possibility of deformity."

Barnett said the last sentence with a sense of joy.

After all, pollution is not only accompanied by various intractable diseases, but also the possibility of congenital malformations. Especially according to Luo Mu, the sea lion remained in the state of an elf egg for a period of time before being exposed to the outside. Pick it up.

You need to pay more attention to this aspect.

"The next step is to use the equipment to conduct a detailed examination. In short, let's draw some blood first."

Barnett handed the report sheet to Luo Mu and looked at Bi Ke who was busy next to her.

Bi Ke quickly prepared the sterilized equipment and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon."

"Mawu~"

Qiuqiu sea lion looked at Pinhead with some fear and buried his head in Kapu Fin's arms like an ostrich.

Luo Mu felt the same way.

Most children are afraid of blood draws, vaccinations, etc., even when they were young.

Receiving the confused look from Kapu Fin Fin, Luo Mu nodded and explained: "Blood can analyze a lot of information. As long as a small amount of extraction is ensured, it will not cause a burden to the Qiuqiu sea lion."

After receiving Luo Mu's explanation, Kapu·Fin was relieved to hand over the Qiuqiu sea lion to Bigui.

After a while, Bigui handed the blood sample to Barnett, took out a bunch of candies from her bag, and wanted to comfort the autistic Qiuqiu sea lion huddled in Capu Fin's arms.

But Qiuqiu sea lion didn't want to look at her at all now. He twisted his body and buried his head deeper.

In desperation, Bigui had no choice but to help Barnet.

About an hour had passed, and Qiuqiu Sea Lion, who had been tossing and tossing with various inspections, was already so tired that he fell asleep.

Reports were also produced one after another. In the end, Barnett took a large stack of reports and concluded with Luo Mu: "Based on various careful examinations including blood tests, let's talk about the conclusion first."

"What's miraculous is that the Globo sea lion, which was born in an environment that, according to your description, should no longer be suitable for the habitat of most life forms, has almost no trace of pollution."

"It may be that the purified water has removed the pollution, and even the theoretical deficiencies have been repaired by some drugs with mysterious ingredients."

"Perhaps the "Life No. 1" you fed it played a role. Such a medicine is really interesting. "

"No matter what, there is only one thing you have to do for the Qiuqiu sea lion."

Putting down a large stack of white paper, Barnett smiled.

"Provide it with nutrients to make it thrive. If you have the conditions, you can find some medicinal materials or food that contain rich vitality and feed it a certain amount to recuperate its body. That's it."

Barnett sighed inwardly.

If she hadn't done the examination herself, who would have thought that the sea lion born and hatched in the extreme environment described by Luo Mu would be only slightly developed and malnourished?

After receiving the exact answer, Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded slightly to Kapu Fin and smiled at each other.

In this case, the final risks and worries are gone.

Next, Bigui and Barnett took Luo Mu around the reserve, and took them to play in a lake for a while.

The sea lion Qiuqiu, the little Kirby and the puppet bear quickly became friends.

By the way, Luo Mu also inquired from Bigui about the details about the child bear she picked up, and finally determined that the child bear was most likely the missing descendant of Kapu Xiongxiong, the fifth of the four island guardians.

The matter itself is actually not complicated. During Biko's daily patrol for Pokémon protection, she came across a seriously injured child bear that was crushed under a tree trunk, and took it back to the Ethereal Paradise to take care of it.

This move even affected the three great immortals of Team Rocket who followed the little ghost head to the Alola area a long time later, causing them to be taken care of as children by the bear-wearing bear who had nowhere to release her motherly nature.

Luo Mu thought that if there was a chance to meet a bear wearing a suit, he would just let the mother and son meet first.

After visiting the Pokémon Sanctuary, before Luo Mu mentioned his intention to leave, Biko, who had received some instructions, began to persuade him to stay: "Chairman Lusamine plans to entertain you as a guest at her private residence. Please go there to enjoy it!”

Coming!

Luo Mu perked up, but his expression remained as usual, and he began to improve his acting skills.

"Ah, this isn't good—"

After some politeness that did not require a detailed description, Luo Mu still accepted Lusamine's kindness and prepared to visit her private residence on the artificial island of Etherland.

But on the way to the private residence, an uninvited guest quietly stood in front of them.

He was a thin old man with a green crew cut, a mask that almost covered half of his face, and a small beard on his chin.

He calls himself Zaobo, a cadre of the Ethereum Foundation, director of the research department, and also known as the "Inventor King of Alola".

However, his attitude cannot be said to be unfriendly, it can only be said that it has nothing to do with friendliness.

Adjusting his glasses, Zaobona looked Luo Mu up and down with suspicion, and then asked Bigui.

"Cadre Bico, taking such a strange and suspicious man to the private residence where the chairman lives, are you planning to do harm to the chairman?"

As soon as he spoke, a "tricky" smell rushed towards him.

Bi Ke was speechless and said: "What are you talking about? This is Mr. Luo Mu. Didn't the chairman just mention it this morning? Besides, it was the chairman who invited him as a guest this time."

"Zhaobo, you are so rude to your guests."

As both cadres, Bi Ke would not be fooled by Zaobo, not to mention that she had done nothing wrong at all.

On the other hand, Zaobo himself, perhaps because of some "unforgivable reasons", glanced at Luo Mu a few more times and curled his lips, "Who knows if he wants to take advantage of Master Gladion's matter to become a phoenix and a dragon? ”

Even though he knew that he was being unreasonable, Zaobo still spoke unforgivingly, leaving these words before turning around and leaving.

Bi Ke apologized to Luo Mu, who looked confused, "I'm sorry, although Zaobo is usually a bit mean, jealous, and often gets angry for no reason, but he is just competitive."

"I apologize to you on his behalf."

Say it, Bi Ke will bow deeply to Luo Mu.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Luo Mu stopped Bi Ke's movements and was not angry at all.

After all, he knew exactly what kind of charming character Zaobo was.

Although he has done a lot of bad things, he actually has no talent at all in this area. On the contrary, his research ability is pretty good.

Biko described his character very well. I'm afraid Zaobao noticed something and was worried that he, who was related to Gladion, would say something to Lusamine that would reveal his background, so he hurried over to "intercept" him. .

After all, whether it was Lillie's "Pokémon Fear Symptom" or the reason why Gladion ran away from home, he had something to do with it.

But this guy is not a traditional villain. He is just a businessman trying to keep his job, which is very contradictory.

Luo Mu couldn't get angry with him. If he had time to spare, it would be better to deal with the matter at hand first.

Someone will punish him later.

Instructing Bi Ke to continue leading the way, the two of them came straight to a rather luxurious mansion on an artificial island built in calm waters.

No, it might be more appropriate to describe it as a mansion.

After passing through the gate, you are greeted by an exquisitely decorated interior environment, with red velvet carpet extending from the entrance to the stairs.

At this time, Lusamine also walked down from the second floor on high heels.

"Welcome to your visit, Mr. Luo Mu!"

Lusamine held out her hand rather enthusiastically.

The only drawback was that the phone would ring on her from time to time, which made her smile almost impossible to maintain.

In the end, he gave Bi Ke a bunch of phone calls and asked her to put down all the work during this period, and then the two of them sat in the reception room.

"Sorry to make you laugh."

Lusamine put a cup of hot tea in front of Luo Mu and said apologetically.

As the helmsman of this huge Ether Foundation, she is one of those CEOs in the novels about overbearing presidents who make millions per minute.

It would be strange if I wasn't busy at work.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Luo Mu understood this.

As a world-leading company as famous as Silver Company, Devon Company, and Lords Group, Lusamine has been able to operate the Ethereum Foundation to such an extent, and she has to pay a lot.

Luo Mu envied her for making so much money, but he didn't have that idea.

There is no other reason than that I am too tired.

Not to mention that Lusamine was so busy with work that her children ended up being somewhat alienated from her.

After the two chatted for a while, Lusamine turned directly into her main purpose, which was the mentioned Gladion.

"That, and about Gladion, I want to talk to you."

Lusamine's expression was a little gloomy, as if she was still a little disappointed because of Gladion's attitude that morning.

Luo Mu straightened his posture slightly and pretended to listen carefully.

But the first few words Lusamine said immediately sent him flying.

"It's about the child going to school."

"I asked James to check this morning. Mr. Luo Mu, the Grape Academy where you are working does not seem to have entered the enrollment season recently."

"I think, what do you think about donating some money to the college, investing in the construction of some teaching facilities, and then exchanging a place for admission?"

Luo Mu:?

Why does the topic jump directly to here?

Looking at Lusamine's serious expression in front of her, it didn't look like she was joking.

Luo Mu suddenly realized that Lusamine had really taken the excuse that Gladion had made out of desperation.

After all, as he knew, Lusamine could only work day and night in order to protect the Aether Foundation left by Morn.

But even so, she loves her two children deeply, but rarely gets together with them because of work.

Look, the whole morning has passed, and everyone is already thinking about donating money to let Gragio enter the Grape Academy.

This mobility deserves her to make a lot of money.

Luo Mu, who was silenced by Lusamine, thought for a long time and asked implicitly: "Then have you considered Gladion's opinion?"

"Glagio's opinion?" Lusamine showed a puzzled expression, "Didn't he express the relevant wishes in the morning?"

Lusamine started talking endlessly when she talked about her children.

"Although my little baby Lillie is now sent to the Pokémon school on Melemele Island, Gladion has been taught by the tutor hired by James since he was a child."

"I was just thinking that this child may have had too little contact with his peers and may be a bit withdrawn. It just so happened that he expressed his wishes to me for the first time in the past few years, so I simply complied with his wishes-"

Lusamine became more and more enthusiastic as she talked, and she saw that she had begun to consider whether to donate money to build a teaching building or a playground, and whether a library would be good for cultivating sentiments.

Luo Mu, who felt something was wrong, locked his eyes on the photo frame placed on the cabinet not far away, and stiffly changed the topic.

"Ms. Lusamine, is that photo your family photo?"

Suddenly interrupted by Luo Mu, Lusamine turned her gaze to where Luo Mu was pointing and was slightly startled.

After being lost for a moment, she nodded sadly.

"Yeah, that's a family photo of our family."

Perhaps the memories came back to her, so Lusamine stood up and picked up the photo frame on the cabinet, then sat down opposite Luo Mu.

Those well-maintained hands gently caressed the cold photo, and Lusamine's voice contained some nostalgia and subtle sadness.

"This is a family photo taken by my husband and me shortly after Lillie was born."

"Speaking of which, it seems that I have never met your husband, and Gladion didn't mention it either."

Luo Mu deliberately guided the direction of the topic.

When asked by Luo Mu, more sadness appeared in Lusamine's eyes, and her voice was slightly choked as she said: "Actually, my husband disappeared due to a research accident many years ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

This is not a secret. Most people in Alola have heard about Lusamine's efforts to find Morn over the years. Naturally, she doesn't think Luo Mu asked this question deliberately.

"That's it"

After a few seconds of silence, Luo Mu asked:

"If you don't mind, can you show me your family photos? Maybe I've met your husband?"

"Of course."

Although she had no hope that Luo Mu, who was from the Padia region, had ever seen her husband, Lusamine still gave the family portrait to Luo Mu.

Luo Mu took the family portrait and looked at it carefully.

Lusamine was holding her infant baby in her arms, dressed more youthfully and immaturely than now, with a bright smile.

And Gladion was not as good as he is now.

And the younger version of Moen that Luo Mu knew.

After glancing at Lusamine, who seemed a little distracted, Luo Mu took a deep breath and spoke "hesitantly".

"Is this Mr. Moen?"

The moment she heard Luo Mu's words, Lusamine was startled for a moment, then grabbed Luo Mu's arm as if grasping a life-saving straw, and asked anxiously.

"Have you ever seen Moen?"

Lusamine, who was concerned and confused, completely ignored the possibility that Luo Mu might know her husband's name through other channels, and was directly carried away by the first hope in so many years.

After Luo Mu nodded affirmatively, she knelt down on the ground as if she had lost all her strength, and her trembling voice rang out.

"Please, please tell me, where is my husband now-"
