Chapter 1244


    With that, Anastasia turned around and left. After walking two steps, she suddenly turned back and


    looked at Lily. "By the way, I have a birthday party next week. Pleasee with Mr. Russell!"


    Before this, Lily had no ns to follow Alexander to this party, but after today, she changed her mind.


    "It''d be an honor!"


    Anastasia beamed and finally left.


    The Institute of Medicinal Herbs had aboratory that had just been renovated and cleared out for their


    new project, Blossom.


    Inside, everyone seemed busy at work with solemn yet nervous faces. The numbers on theputers


    were beeping, and the reagents in the test tubes were being extracted little by little.


    Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The room was silent, with only the soft beeps from


    theputer and the trickling of the reagent from the test tubes echoing in the air.


    There were three test tubes ced on the experimental table. Once the timer on theputer reached


    zero, the extraction was deemedplete.


    However, everyone did not rx. Instead, they tensed up even more. They were about to find the


    result, but no one could guarantee it would seed.


    Two older men stepped forward, put on their sses, and went up to analyze the end product carefully.


    Then they slowly dipped a test strip into one of the test tubes and sniffed it. Their faces remained stoic


    with slightly scrunched-up eyebrows.


    A few momentster...


    "Achoo! Achoo!"


    The two shook their heads repeatedly, and their faces dropped.


    Needless to say, everyone knew they had failed again.


    "You can still smell the medicinal herbs inside. The smell is even stronger once it is mixed with the


    essence. This finished product is horrible!" One of the men threw away the test strip in disappointment.


    "We''re not well-versed when ites to essences. Each herb has its own characteristics. It is difficult


    for US to achieve a perfect fusion in this manner. After all, we don''t specialize in this," one staff


    member could not help but say.


    When this project was first established, everyone was eager to be a part of it. After all, it sounded

    feasible on paper, but no one had ever tried it. If they seeded, it would be a significant breakthrough


    in both industries.


    However, after countless failures, they gradually became discouraged. At the same time, Lily proposed


    ending the experiment and withdrawing from the coboration.


    She had not been to the institute for the past few days. Even so, Professor Thompson said the


    progress of this project should not be halted because of her absence. Therefore, everyone proceeded


    ording to the previously recorded data and steps.


    However, they failed again and again. This was already the 288th time in a few days.


    "We must bring Lily back! She’s an expert when ites to essences. Without her knowledge and


    guidance, there is no way we can move forward with this!"


    "Who said there was no way for US to progress?" Theboratory door was pushed open, and Austin


    strode in with ab coat.


    He slowly scanned the room and said, "She''s an expert in extracting essences; aren''t we experts in


    medicinal herbs as well? Although we don''t know much about essences, her understanding of


    medicinal herbs is superficial. If she can do it, why can''t we? Why are we so self-deprecating?"


    Everyone fell silent at his speech.


    Although what he said made sense, this project was not established yesterday. They had seen what


    Lily could do before.


    Sometimes, when they stumbled onto a weird fusion of scents and could not find the crux of the


    problem, Lily stepped in and helped.


    Even a few milligrams of adjustment could have apletely different effect on the end product. When


    Austin heard no response, his eyes sank, and he walked inside.
