Chapter 1485
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
"I worked with him for a longer time, I guess.Although we had our differences, he was a senior, and he devised the experiment, so his death saddens me," Lily said blandly.
"Oh?"
Rhea was curious as she raised her eyebrows.
"Differences? In what aspect?"
"About the experiment."
Lily turned to look at Rhea in the same way, her gaze unwavering.
"The experiment? What do you mean? Didn't you say Professor Thompson devised it, and you respect him? Oh, yes.Are you no longer with the lab? I heard you left?" Rhea asked.
"Yes."
Lily nodded and continued, "Since we couldnât see eye to eye with each other and our differences would only grow if I stayed, I left."
Rhea looked astonished.
"What kind of differences canât be reconciled? From how I see it, the experiment is progressing quite smoothly.I heard youâre competent, but could it be that what you believed was wrong? At least the experiment is showing good results now!"
"What do you mean by good results? Have you guys pulled off the experiments on the poisonous herbs?" Lily stared into Rheaâs eyes.
She asked while observing Rheaâs expression.
Rhea burst out laughing and waved.
"Iâm sorry.Although you contributed a lot to the lab, I canât answer any classified information questions since youâve left and are no longer one of us."
Lily gazed at Rhea but did not join her laughter.
Instead, Lily waited till Rhea stopped laughing, then curled her lips and said blandly, "Thatâs understandable."
"Then may I ask what kind of differences you had with Professor Thompson?"
Rhea pursued the question again.
"Differences about the experimentâs very basis."
Lily looked over her shoulder at the research instituteâs door and saw workers moving in and out of the building.
âThose white-coated people move around in a hurry, and everything looks the same as usual.It doesnât matter if I stay here or not.Even Professor Thompson's death, the man who had started it all, would not have the slightest impact on this place.Well, as the saying goes, life goes on"
"For example?"
Rhea seemed very interested in Lilyâs differences with Thompson and was undeterred.
"For example, I think the experiment shouldnât continue, and the lab should immediately disband with all lab data and samples destroyed!"
Lily fixed her glare on Rhea.
"Are you satisfied with my answer, Ms.Moore?"
"Are you upset?"
Rhea noticed Lilyâs expression and smiled.
"Iâm just curious, and I like to get to the bottom of everything, so I hope you donât mind.Anyway, now that you said so, Iâm even more curious.Why should the experiment stop?
"Oh, yes, I also heard that you tried to destroy the lab data.I think such behavior is a bit extreme, and for bean a while, I wrongly assumed that you got fired because of it," Rhea spoke smilingly, although she was tactless.
"You're truly a curious person, arenât you?" Lily nodded.
"Anyway, being curious is good for science, and we can only achieve innovations and breakthroughs if we donât stop asking questions.I have a question for you, and I believe you can answer me."
"Oh?" Rhea was intrigued.
"What is it? I must say upfront that I canât tell you anything about the experiment."
"Of course, I won't put you on the spot.I just want to ask about someone," Lily said casually.
