Chapter 1846


    “It’s not that I can’t tell you. I just… I’m not so sure either,” Mike said and pondered momentarily. After


    some time, he seemed to have decided something as he turned to look at Lily and continued, “You’ve


    seen the core of this research. Other research is ongoing at the same time as well.


    “However, all the research is stuck in this same phase, which means you mustplete not just one


    but a couple. Still, the boss said we should prioritize R10 if we can’t make it in time.”


    After listening to him for so long, Lily finally heard the most critical thing. She instantly felt energetic


    again. “R10?”


    “Yeah. All the research here is in numerical order. I’m sure you’ve noticed that from the documents


    you’ve browsed through. R10 is the most crucial research out of all of them.”


    “Is R10 the one I’m doing now?” Lily asked after some thought.


    “No.” Unexpectedly, Mike shook his head. “The one you’re working on right now is R13.”


    Lily was even more surprised. “R13? Wait, aren’t they in numerical order? How did R13 start when R10


    is still iplete?”


    Mike just nodded. He was as stunned as Lily when he first heard about this. “From what I know, there


    are R16, R17, and R18. I heard it’s already well over 20. It’s just that most experiments failed.”


    “Most of them failed, so that means some were sessful?” Lily caught the keyword and asked.


    “Yes, but they’re slightly different from the experiments you’re doing.” Mike paused and looked at his


    watch. “We can’t dy this anymore. I’ll talk to you about this again when I find another opportunity.


    We’re only rtively safer out here because of the surveince cameras and audio monitoring systems


    installed in the building.”


    “I know that,” Lily said simply, “I even know where they are.”


    Mike was stunned but soon remembered that Lily and Alexander were experts in this field. However, he


    still worriedly reminded her, “Even so, there might still be some you’ve missed. It’s still better to be


    careful.”


    “Yeah.” Mike was right, so Lily nodded in agreement.


    “Let’s go then.”


    …


    Fabian could not get what he wanted from Cameron, so he returned home disappointedly. Upon


    entering the house, he saw Maria sitting and eating leisurely in the dining room.


    She cut a piece of chicken and ced it into her mouth as she chewed. She appeared calm, a contrast


    from a few days ago when she would scream and cry nonstop.


    Fabian threw Maria a nce. Seeing her in this state did not make him much happier, but it was better


    than seeing her cry all the time.


    “I’m hungry!” He sat and said habitually while a maid hurried to bring him his cutlery.


    On the other hand, Maria did not react at all and just stared at the two dishes before her. Although she


    looked calm, she was so overly calm that it started to seem strange.


    Fabian felt suffocated at the sight of Maria. He only felt slightly better after loosening his tie and


    unbuttoning the top two buttons of his dress shirt. With a hoarse voice, he said, “Cameron is awake.”


    “Oh.” Maria finally responded, but it was a monotonous reply.


    Fabian felt genuinely ufortable due to her one-word reply and frowned. “He chased me out right


    after waking up and was back to how he used to be toward us in the past! He was distant and hostile


    again!”

    Just thinking about it riled Fabian up. He wondered how Cameron could turn against them so quickly.


    What he had forgotten was that this was Cameron in his normal state. It was just that Cameron had


    changed recently and treated him slightly better.


    “Okay.” It was another one-word reply, making Maria seem to have nothing to do with this.
