Hansel looked at her in confusion.
She smiled and said, "Since we're here to celebrate and bring a gift, it only feels right to give it ourselves." With that, she led him forward. "Miranda, congratulations! I wasn't sure what you'd like, so this gift is something Hansel and I chose together. I hope your lab thrives and you achieve great success.” "Thank you."

Joli and Theodore seized the moment to step forward and congratulate Miranda.
Joli tightened his grip on the small package he held. He wasn't as smooth with words as Willow, so he awkwardly presented the gift.
"Congratulations!" he exclaimed. "This is a sachet my mom made. It's not fancy, but you can hang it anywhere. It's supposed to refresh your mind and keep the bugs away." Inside were three sachets. Miranda received one, and Madison and Sebastian each got one, too.
Joli felt a flutter of nerves as he handed them out. He was worried that his gift was too modest since he couldn't afford anything more extravagant.
To his surprise, Miranda and the others didn't show any disappointment. In fact, they seemed genuinely appreciative.

Sebastian guided Joll and Theodore through the lab and explained its features as they walkedOccasionally, he would demonstrate how to operate the intelligent system himself. Joli and Theodore were beyond shocked.
A private lab like this... Just hearing its nsent chills down their spines.
The further they explored, the more their excitement grew.
On the lab bench lay an array of precision instruments, each labeled to show it had been updated in the past two years. Swere so cutting-edge that he had only seen them in science magazines.
If Joli remembered correctly, one of these machines should cost around 100 thousand dollars. From his quick survey of the lab, he spotted three of them. Chapter 1632
