Rhea approached the computer and realized it was still working. However, she dared not touch it.
A while later, Fred entered in his robe. He yawned, looking a bit upset as he asked, "What's so
important that you had to see me in the middle of the night? Do you think you can do whatever you
want just because I praised you recently?"
"No, Your Grace. It's about something important," Rhea quickly explained, "We're supposed to proceed
with R10 tomorrow, but no one has told us about the procedure until now.
"I fear we will make irreversible mistakes and affect the experiment's outcome."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFred looked at her as he impatiently sat down behind the desk. "That's it? Someone will give each of
you a handbook on what to do tomorrow. Now, all you have to do is rest."
"But..." Rhea noticed he was about to leave and quickly said, "But we might not be prepared then."
"The experiment is not as complicated as you imagine, all right?" Fred said dismissively, "With your
abilities, I'm sure you guys will be able to do it."
Rhea reasoned, "Although I didn't create R10, I know what ingredients it contains. Even a slight error in
dosage could harm the two subjects, even killing them.
"Your Grace, since you've planned for the experiment for so long, I'm sure you don't wish to see it fail,
right? Even though we can start over and make adjudgments when the subjects are harmed or dead, it
won't be easy to find suitable replacements."
She spoke desperately yet reasonably.
Fred grew pensive, seemingly considering her words.
Rhea continued, "I know you care about the experiment, so I carefully considered it over and over. I
have no idea how much the others know about R10, but I believe no one understands it better than me.
"I was there from start to finish when Lily created it, and I think she's hiding something from us."
"What do you mean?" Fred sat up straight, asking solemnly. He was unaware of this, and Lily had
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnever mentioned it before.
"I secretly read her notes once. I feel there's something amiss about the lab data. I'm not sure if she did
it on purpose, but there seemed to be a missing link.
"In other words, the data is inaccurate," Rhea recalled what she read, "If R10 is problematic, no matter
how careful we are tomorrow, I'm afraid the experiment will."
She did not finish her sentence, but it was evident what she was about to say.
Fred frowned grimly. "Are you speaking the truth?"
I have no reason to lie to you, Your Grace." Rhea looked at him earnestly.
Fred studied her expression and also felt she had no reason to do so. "Why are you only telling me
about it now?"
After all, they were about to proceed with the experiment tomorrow.
Rhea grew somewhat nervous. "I... just remembered."
