Chapter 1296


    Mike had no understanding of medicinal herbs. He only had some experience with and knowledge of


    and was even optimistic about its prospects. It was indeed strange.


    "Maybe he thinks he can earn money from this,” Lily said in an unsure tone.


    Just as she was about to continue, Galen had already caught the ball and ran back to her.


    "Mommy, mommy! Throw...”


    ‘Does he want me to throw the ball again?’ Lily gently tossed the ball again, and with a giggle, the little


    boy chased after it. Alexander watched this quietly.


    "Don’t you think ying with your son is simr to ying with a dog?" He couldn''t help but jibe.


    Although he didn''t want topare his son to a dog, watching how Lily yed with Galen made it hard


    for him to think otherwise.


    "Huh?" Lily raised an eyebrow before turning to look at her son, who was grinning from ear to ear. "It is,


    but so what? He seems happy!"


    Alexander couldn''t refute it. ‘lt seems to be true.’


    "By the way, Mike came to see me today, too,” Lily said, looking up at him.


    "Did he try to get you back on the project?” He guessed.


    The experiment had reached a teau that would only progress with Lily''s help. Therefore, be it


    Thompson or the new investor, Mike Corden, they needed her to return to theboratory toplete


    this project.


    "So, what did you say?" Alexander sat across from her and stretched his legs casually. He, too, was


    tired from working so much.


    "I told him I''d think about it. Honestly, I am reluctant to give up just like that. I wonder if they agree to


    stop using those poisonous herbs?"


    ‘What if they don''t?”


    For them to stand in a stalemate until now meant they did not want to give up on the project. Lily


    understood this, which made her hesitant about leaving the project.

    However, it was also because the experiment had gone stale until now, that the situation had changed.


    Thompson came to her today, which showed he was eager for the experiment to seed. If the project


    took any longer to finish, the research institute would lose money, people, and other resources. Even


    with Mike''s new investment, no one was stupid enough to assume it was an endless supply.


    After working on the project for so long, Lily wasn''t the only one who was tired. Thompson was drained


    as well. Therefore, someone had toe to a consensus at a time like this, and Lily would never be


    the first to give in.


    "They''ll agree,” she said confidently.


    "Sh*t!"


    Along with the angry curses, there was a sharp squeak and then the sound of things breaking.


    A blond-haired, blue-eyed man stomped on the cage that fell to the ground a few times. As if that was


    not enough for the man to vent his anger, he also began kicking it. Soon, there was no movement


    inside the cage, and blood stains were seen on the ground.


    "It didn''t work! It failed again! The medicinal properties of the herbs aren''t at a proper amount. What


    have you guys been doing for the past few months?!"


    The sentences sounded harsh, and the pair of blue eyes glowered with anger.


    On the sidelines, an ashen Thompson also looked highly frustrated.


    Sess was just within reach, but no matter how hard he tried to stretch his fingers to grasp it, he


    could not.
