Chapter 1518


    Theboratories Lily passed were empty.


    Although the equipment was still there, there were no specimens.


    Apparently unused for experimentation for a long time, some ces had even gathered dust.


    Now she had stopped before what used to be Thompson’s room.


    When she was busy with her experiment here, she hardly had time to go home and would stay in the


    building.


    Those with higher ranks like her and Thompson had been allocated rooms to rest.


    Since Thompson had passed away, the door to his room was wide open and empty inside, without any


    documents on the desk.


    As she stepped in, she heard a voice say, "Professor Thompson’s room had been cleaned up.I doubt


    you''ll find your stuff here."


    Lily looked over her shoulder and saw Rhea nearby.


    For an alert person like Lily, she would not fail to notice Rhea havinge so close.


    ‘I didn’t feel like I was being followed.It means...she didn’t take the same route.I wonder where she


    emerged from.There are pathways...or secret chambers or passages that I don’t know about! ? She


    nces around, hoping to see if there are any clues, but cannot find any traces of trapdoors just by


    looking.


    "Are you very interested in Professor Thompson’s room?" Rhea asked.


    Lily looked over her shoulder at Rhea.


    "I’m more interested in yours.Do you mind if I take a look?"


    "I don’t have a room here."


    Rhea shrugged and said calmly, "I don’t enjoy the benefits they''ve given you and Professor


    Thompson.I only focus on my experiment and practically live in theb.If you’re interested, you can


    look at myb."


    Lily nodded.


    "Okay!"


    ‘Since she invited me, how could I say no? I worked here for so long and had never heard of Rhea, yet


    she appeared out of nowhere and seemingly became the person in charge.As for her experiment, I''d


    love to find out what it is about."


    Following her, Lily left the room and kept walking forward.


    Getting inside an elevator, Rhea reached out her finger and pressed the "I " button.


    Lily was puzzled.


    There was an assortment of items in the basement, where some low-light herbal nts were being


    cultivated.


    However, there was noboratory to her knowledge.


    Seeing her bewildered look, Rhea curled her lips into a mysterious smile.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "Looks like you’re not that familiar with the building."


    "I’m not, indeed."


    She nodded and agreed.


    "Your research showed that you know a lot about herbal nts.I''m curious where you heard about


    them." Rhea asked in a seemingly casual manner.


    "I did learn something, but not that much."


    Looking at the indicator on the elevator as it moved downward, Lily said ndly, "Anyway, I remember


    that you studied mainstream medicine overseas.I didn’t expect you to know so much about herbal


    medicine."


    "We have to keep learning, don’t we?"


    Wriggling her fingers, Rhea grew rxed, as if she were having a small talk with Lily.


    "The world is so huge, and yet we know so little.Only through research and experiments will we be able


    to progress and learn more.Then our society could advance in leaps and bounds.Don’t you think so?"


    "I believe that every advancement should benefit humanity.It’s only an advancement if it makes the


    world better.Otherwise, I could not agree with you."
