Chapter 2310
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
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, âWhatâs 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?â âNo, Your Grace. Itâs about something important,â Rhea quickly explained, âWeâre supposed to proceed with R10 tomorrow, but no one has told us about the procedure until now.
âI fear we will make irreversible mistakes and affect the experimentâs outcome.â Fred looked at her as he impatiently sat down behind the desk. âThatâs it?
Someone will give each of you a handbook on what to do tomorrow. Now, all you have to do is rest.â
âButâ¦â Rhea noticed he was about to leave and quickly said, âBut we might not be prepared then.â
âThe experiment is not as complicated as you imagine, all right?â Fred said dismissively, âWith your abilities, Iâm sure you guys will be able to do it.â
Rhea reasoned, âAlthough I didnât create R10, I know what ingredients it contains. Even a slight error in dosage could harm the two subjects, even killing them.
âYour Grace, since youâve planned for the experiment for so long, Iâm sure you donât wish to see it fail, right? Even though we can start over and make adjudgments when the subjects are harmed or dead, it wonât be easy to find suitable replacements.â
She spoke desperately yet reasonably.
Fred grew pensive, seemingly considering her words.
Rhea continued, âI 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.
âI was there from start to finish when Lily created it, and I think sheâs hiding something from us.â
âWhat do you mean?â Fred sat up straight, asking solemnly. He was unaware of this, and Lily had never mentioned it before.
âI secretly read her notes once. I feel thereâs something amiss about the lab data. Iâm not sure if she did it on purpose, but there seemed to be a missing link.
âIn other words, the data is inaccurate,â Rhea recalled what she read, âIf R10 is problematic, no matter how careful we are tomorrow, Iâm afraid the experiment willâ¦â
She did not finish her sentence, but it was evident what she was about to say.
Fred frowned grimly. âAre you speaking the truth?â
âI have no reason to lie to you, Your Grace.â Rhea looked at him earnestly.
Fred studied her expression and also felt she had no reason to do so. âWhy are you only telling me about it now?â
After all, they were about to proceed with the experiment tomorrow.
Rhea grew somewhat nervous. âI⦠just remembered.â
