Chapter 1384
Austin was eager to show off his achievement for the past two days and perked up after seeing Lily
now.
'You're early today. I thought you didn't dare to return after succeeding one time by a fluke." Austin
clicked his tongue. 'You have no idea, do you? I'm going to pull off what you've failed to do after
researching for so long. I'll surpass you in no time!"
Lily did not bother to argue with him and was not interested in senseless comparisons like this.
"Where's Professor Thompson?"
"It’s still so early. I think Professor Thompson should still be in bed." Indeed, Austin had not seen the
older man. More accurately, there were few people in the research institute so early in the morning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBesides the ones working the night shift, he believed that few were so dedicated and would work
overnight like him.
He glanced around himself and said, "Don't change the subject! I know you surely don't believe I can
pull it off, but I'm going to show you my true capabilities using facts!"
'You didn't shut up long enough last time, did you? Would you like to try it again?" Lily thought Austin
was too noisy and lifted her two fingers to scare him.
Austin was shocked and took two steps back despite himself. Although he would not admit it, he was
still terrified by what happened the last time. ‘Y- You, stay away from me! Enough of your sorcery. I
know it had to be some sleight of hand or magic trick. Or did you use an anesthetic?"
Lily thought it was ridiculous that he would instead assume it was magic than admit that she knew
acupuncture. However, it did not matter since she did not care what he thought.
"If you're aware that I know black magic, stop babbling in my presence. You're a man, and all you do is
look down on women and bluff. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Lily turned and walked off. She had
an urgent matter to discuss with Thompson and had no time to entertain Austin.
Stumped, Austin opened his mouth and pointed at his nose. "I only know how to bluff?"
However, Lily was already gone, and he got no replies. It was the first time that anyone had scolded
him like that. 'She could say I'm supercilious and arrogant, but how could she say I only know how to
bluff?”
Since Lily had spoiled Austin's good mood, he decided against going home and turned to head back to
the laboratory. He was determined to shame her with his success.
Lily was unaware of what he had been doing. She had not stopped working at home since her
experiment succeeded. She obtained some leaves and stems from the wilfordi root, carefully extracted
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmits toxin, and experimented with it at her studio.
She had not told anyone about it and quietly experimented. She did not want anyone to find out about it
before the results came out. Lily was just trying to know why the research institute wanted to conduct
the experiment.
'If it were to succeed, would they use it to treat illnesses or harm people?'
After many days of hard work, she concluded that the toxins extracted from wilfordi roots and even
those poisonous plants listed in the record could not cure anyone. There were precedents of poisonous
plants and insects being used as medicine, but one had to be very careful with their dosages. Some of
the inexperienced physicians even did not dare to prescribe them.
'Therefore, extracting its sap and mixing it with the raw materials would only bring harm and not save
lives!’
After learning herbal medicine for so long, she would never think about harming people, even though
she had no intention of becoming a physician.
