Chapter 1485


    "I worked with him for a longer time, I guess.Although we had our differences, he was a senior, and he


    devised the experiment, so his death saddens me," Lily said ndly.


    "Oh?"


    Rhea was curious as she raised her eyebrows.


    "Differences? In what aspect?"


    "About the experiment."


    Lily turned to look at Rhea in the same way, her gaze unwavering.


    "The experiment? What do you mean? Didn''t you say Professor Thompson devised it, and you respect


    him? Oh, yes.Are you no longer with theb? I heard you left?" Rhea asked.


    "Yes."


    Lily nodded and continued, "Since we couldn’t see eye to eye with each other and our differences


    would only grow if I stayed, I left."


    Rhea looked astonished.


    "What kind of differences can’t be reconciled? From how I see it, the experiment is progressing quite


    smoothly.I heard you’repetent, but could it be that what you believed was wrong? At least the


    experiment is showing good results now!"


    "What do you mean by good results? Have you guys pulled off the experiments on the poisonous


    herbs?" Lily stared into Rhea’s eyes.


    She asked while observing Rhea’s expression.


    Rhea burst outughing and waved.


    "I’m sorry.Although you contributed a lot to theb, I can’t answer any ssified information questions


    since you’ve left and are no longer one of us."


    Lily gazed at Rhea but did not join herughter.


    Instead, Lily waited till Rhea stoppedughing, then curled her lips and said ndly, "That’s


    understandable."


    "Then may I ask what kind of differences you had with Professor Thompson?"


    Rhea pursued the question again.


    "Differences about the experiment’s very basis."


    Lily looked over her shoulder at the research institute’s door and saw workers moving in and out of the


    building.


    ‘Those white-coated people move around in a hurry, and everything looks the same as usual.It doesn’t


    matter if I stay here or not.Even Professor Thompson''s death, the man who had started it all, would not


    have the slightest impact on this ce.Well, as the saying goes, life goes on"


    "For example?"


    Rhea seemed very interested in Lily’s differences with Thompson and was undeterred.


    "For example, I think the experiment shouldn’t continue, and theb should immediately disband with


    allb data and samples destroyed!"


    Lily fixed her re on Rhea.


    "Are you satisfied with my answer, Ms.Moore?"


    "Are you upset?"


    Rhea noticed Lily’s expression and smiled.


    "I’m just curious, and I like to get to the bottom of everything, so I hope you don’t mind.Anyway, now


    that you said so, I’m even more curious.Why should the experiment stop?


    "Oh, yes, I also heard that you tried to destroy theb data.I think such behavior is a bit extreme, and


    for bean a while, I wrongly assumed that you got fired because of it," Rhea spoke smilingly, although


    she was tactless.


    "You''re truly a curious person, aren’t you?" Lily nodded.

    "Anyway, being curious is good for science, and we can only achieve innovations and breakthroughs if


    we don’t stop asking questions.I have a question for you, and I believe you can answer me."


    "Oh?" Rhea was intrigued.


    "What is it? I must say upfront that I can’t tell you anything about the experiment."


    "Of course, I won''t put you on the spot.I just want to ask about someone," Lily said casually.
