Chapter 1250


    Thompson did not answer her questions directly. He only reassured her that she shouldn''t worry.


    ording to him, the institute was ready because the project had been approved and established.


    They just needed her to produce the results they wanted. As for the testing of the product, she did not


    need to be involved.


    However, Lily was responsible for her creations. How could she not be concerned about the results or


    effects her product would have on its consumers?


    Seeing that Lily had been silent for a long time and appeared to be in a daze, Austin thought that she


    was not listening to him or that she did not understand what he was saying. Suddenly, he became


    irritated and lost interest in talking to her.


    Waving, he said, "Forget it! You don''t understand it anyway! This isn''t as simple as what you do for your


    perfumes. This is about medicines, and they might cause death if not dealt with appropriately! Here''s


    some advice for you, stop with the experiment and stoping here too!"


    Lily returned to her senses and raised her brow to look at him. "Mr. Fike, what''s the real reason you


    want me to stop with the experiment? Is it honestly because you think I know nothing about medicinal


    herbs? Is it genuinely because you want this experiment to stop, or..."


    She stepped forward with her lips curled into a smirk, but her gaze turned cold. "Or is it just because


    I''m a woman?"


    Austin said nothing and just looked at the woman before him. She was smaller and shorter than he


    was, and her belly was a little round. With her head raised, she stood before him and looked into his


    eyes, her gaze clear and sharp. Under her gaze, he somewhat panicked for no reason.


    In that instant, he wanted to hide from her.


    However, that was just his thought for a split second. He collected himself and straightened his back.


    "Ms. Christian, it’s pointless for you to argue with me. You understand none of the things I just said to


    you. You''re a woman, and it''s a fact that men are better than women at certain things.


    "Moreover, you’re pregnant now. I’m doing this for your benefit. You don’tck money, and I heard


    you’re quite popr in the perfumery industry, so what are you doing here? I''m saying this with good


    intentions. Not everything is as simple as what your perfumers do in theb. There''s a lot to learn about


    medicinal herbs, and if it''s not handled carefully, it will..."


    Suddenly, he stopped and called out. "Hey! I’m not done yet. Where are you going?"


    Austin did not expect her to leave while he was talking. She said nothing and just walked away.


    He was stunned before he raised his voice. "I’m telling you this seriously! You should consider what I


    just said! It will only benefit you and won''t harm you in any way. Hey! Hey!"


    He wanted to say more, but Lily was already out of sight.


    Lily was not in the mood to listen to Austin’s nagging or argue with him.’ He''s stubborn, arrogant, and


    holds prejudices against women. I don’t want to have anything to do with someone like that. Still, he


    knows about medicinal herbs, I''ll give him that.


    ‘He''s not entirely the conman that I assumed him to be, and I need to agree with those things he said


    about the experiment. It can''t be continued! The direction of the experiment is problematic, and its goal


    probably is as well.


    She could confirm her thoughts after adding the two drops of essential oil to the mixture earlier. As


    expected, it would suppress the scent of the medicinal herbs for some time. She would try that again,


    and perhaps she could find out what they wanted to do by then.


    Without realizing it, she made a turn at the intersection and stopped. She turned her head to look in the


    direction of the institute, and to her surprise, she saw a familiar figure there.
