Chapter 1362


    The lights in the institute’sboratory were on all night.


    Austin yawned at the crack of dawn as he removed his mask and washed his hands.He rubbed his


    worn-out, swollen eyes as he left theb.He had not stayed up for two nights straight in vain.


    They were already at their final stage.


    He did not think the problem was that serious.


    Over the past two days, he had carefully pondered the issue at hand.


    Since Lily could do it, why couldn''t he? How was she any better than him? She was only a part of this


    project earlier than him and had more experience than him.


    Since she had more opportunities for practice, she would be further along than he.


    He must have been too impatient these days to have overlooked this.


    With this new point of view, he let himself get caught up in the project and worked long hours.He


    wanted to spend more time narrowing the gap between him and Lily.He needed to achieve something.


    If he failed to overthrow this woman, he would have to reevaluate himself.


    Austin felt a tightness in his chest when he thought of how Dominic looked at him and the harsh words


    he said.


    Austin knew he had to seed.


    No, he must be more sessful than Lily.


    Only then would he be proud.He stretched and shrugged his sore shoulders.


    Although he didn''t know much about raw materials, seeing how Lily seeded without much


    knowledge of medicinal herbs meant that the two had something inmon.


    That was his train of thought.


    Lily was selfish and refused to give him the previous experimental data.


    In the end, Austin had to look through all of the failed experiments in theb ande to his own


    conclusions.


    Then he thought of sandalwood.


    Althoughmon, it would be easiest for him to use it as a base to fuse with the medicinal herbs.


    On top of that, he did not need to create a unique scent.He was not a perfumer, after all.


    ‘That’s it!"


    Austin felt quite proud of himself when he thought about this.


    It meant he was as bright as her.


    As he stood by the window and stared down, he was surprised to see other people here at this time.


    Thompson was facing him and was talking to someone.


    From the back, it seemed like the person was a woman.


    Although there were women other than Lily in this research institute, what Austin found weird wasn''t


    that there was a woman around.


    It was what she was doing here at this time.

    ‘Could that woman be Lily?!’ Thinking of this, he immediately leaned forward and squinted to get a


    closer look.


    However, judging from her figure, the individual did not seem quite like Lily.


    Since Lily was pregnant, she would often wear casual and loose clothing.


    Instead, this woman was wearing a long ck dress with the waist cinched—clearly an effort to make


    her look extra slender.


    At that moment, Thompson noticed Austin and raised his head before waving.


    "Austin, you''re up all night again!"


    "I couldn''t sleep, so I did some experiments to pass the time," Austin replied smilingly.


    "I thank you for your hard work!"


    Thompson knew Austin was trying topete with Lily.


    For Thompson, friendlypetition like this was a good thing.


    Therefore, he did not call Austin out and instead encouraged him.


    "You can do it."


    The two exchanged a few more sentences, but the woman did not turn around. novelebook She had no


    interest in seeing who was behind her.


    That piqued Austin''s curiosity, and he wanted to see who she was.


    Besides Lily, were there any other women who would work as hard and stay up aste as him?


    "I thank you for your hard work!"
