Chapter 1388
"Lily, don't get so worked up. I'm asking you to take a break not because we don't need you but
because you’ve done a lot. With your success, I believe things will get easier from now on. You've
undoubtedly contributed a great deal, and we'll never write you off!"
Thompson thought she was angry at being kicked out of the project and hurriedly explained.
However, Lily just shook her head. "Professor, whether you're keeping me here or not, you must stop
the experiment. If you continue with it, it won't bring any good to mankind."
"No, it will certainly bring changes!" Although he once doubted himself, Thompson was still hopeful
about his initial idea. "I believe it would surely succeed, although we're still at the experimental stage.
Do you know that every success is built on countless failures? You pulled it off, didn't you?
"Did you know that your finished products got an anorexic child to eat something? We’ve just placed a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpot of flowers by his bed, along with a few drops of essential oil."
In spite of himself, he became animated when discussing this. He saw the result, and it was shockingly
effective.
Of course, as the products were still experimental and had not undergone vigorous and advanced
clinical trials, they could not be put to wide use and could only be done in secret.
"You guys used it on a person?" Shocked, Lily bolted to her feet.
"Calm down. It's just a trial, and it worked!" Seeing her reaction, Thompson answered in a hurry.
"What if it failed?" Lily angrily retorted. She did not expect them to be so reckless.
'Although the experiment succeeded, the products are unlike the perfumes and essential oils I created.
Those are fragrances, and this is a drug! It could cure people or cause people to get sick!
'Every medicine has its side effect. How could they put it on clinical trials so easily? There must be a
huge amount of supporting data to ensure it's safe before one could put a product to wide use.'
"Even if it fails, it would have no effect. It’s not going to be a big deal." Although he lowered his voice,
Thompson still thought it was nothing.
‘Besides, the result proved that it was a success!'
Wiping his glasses, he put them back on and said soothingly, "Lily, you're the one who made it work,
and you should be happy that your creation was able to help someone! You know we’re tight on budget
and schedule, and we couldn't afford to do so many tests. Now we know for sure that it wasn't a fluke,
and that we actually pulled it off!"
"What if you were wrong? What if the patient suffered from an adverse effect?" Lily was furious.
She used to think Thompson was an idealistic and principled man, but she realized now that their
values clashed and there was no way to persuade him.
'We're talking about human lives! How can we take human lives so lightly and misuse drugs just like
that?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Lily, I understand your concerns, but you must know that sometimes we need someone brave in the
medical field." Thinking that there was nothing wrong with it, he voiced a veiled opinion.
'Besides, we’ve taken all the necessary precautions, and we’ve only selected untreatable test subjects.
For example, the anorexic patient would die if he did not eat again. Now that we have saved him, it is a
good deed!'
"Professor Thompson, there's no need to carry on with the experiment!" She said it coldly, then
suddenly turned around and quickly typed away at the laptop.
"What are you doing?" Stunned, Thompson realized what she was doing and threw himself over to
grab the laptop. "You're trying to destroy the lab data!" "This experiment is evil and shouldn’t be
continued. We must not keep any of its data!" Lily both spoke and typed even faster.
Thompson let out a menacing look. "You're crazy!"
