Mike was surprised.

"As you said, even if I go over there, there is nothing I can do. He has his things to do, and I have mine.

Since Professor Thompson is upstairs, he should be coming down soon. I'll wait for him." She turned

and went downstairs.

The grin on his face faded and his expression became serious as he stared after her. Shaking his

head, he let out an almost inaudible sigh.

Lily was indeed worried about Alexander, but she also knew it was of no use. Besides, she had a lot of

work to do.

Her son needed her, and if both of his parents were away, he most likely would not get used to it and

would become scared.

Entering the lab, Lily did not experiment. Instead, she sat down before the laptop to start sorting and

compiling the data, starting with the ones she had gathered from her first experiment.

She had sorted the data before, but it was a bit messy as she had done it separately for several

groups. Now that she had put everything together, she saw that her most recent guess was right.

'We can’t continue studying these poisonous plants. At the very least, we shouldn't include them in this

test.’

Thompson arrived as she was sorting the data. Mike had seemingly told him about it, and he went

straight to her. "Lily, were you looking for me?"

"Professor Thompson." Removing her goggles, Lily turned around and looked at him thoughtfully.

"About wilfordi roots and other poisonous herbs

"You're no longer in charge of them, so don't worry." Cutting her off, Thompson said, "Just sort out the

data you have, and you can go home and rest."

Lily was dumbfounded.

'Go home and rest? He kept persuading me to come back as if he couldn’t do it without me. Does he

not need me now just because I've completed three finished products?'

"Are you saying you no longer need me to research other plants? That you don't need me for the

experiment?" She gave it some thought and sought confirmation.

Tired, Thompson nodded.

Taking off his reading glasses, he pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a sigh. "I know you've

been under a lot of pressure, and it’s been hard on you. You’ve done very well coming up with the three

finished products. You’ve turned my idea into reality and shown me that my audacious hypothesis is

not a pie in the sky but something that could be realized. For that, I'm truly grateful."

"Professor, I know you wanted to contribute to mankind and help those who could not swallow or had

weakened arteries absorb the medicine in another way. You want to better alleviate their suffering and

make herbal medicine more flexible. However, are you still on the right path?"

Her asking him so daringly made Thompson lose his composure. Without bothering to put on his

glasses, he looked up abruptly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Without the glasses, Lily could see the shock and panic in his eyes and grew convinced of her

speculation. She was aware that there was more to the experiment than met the eye, and it was not

what she or they had anticipated.

"Professor, it's not me who needs a break. It's us! This experiment has to stop," she said thoughtfully.

She had asked him to stop the project many times, but she was adamant and unwavering this time.

'We must not carry on with the experiment. Even the previous data have to be destroyed!’
