Chapter 1451
‘That can’t be Professor Thompson, so who is it?’ The first person that cto Austin’s mind was Rhea.
There was only a few female staff at the institute, and he could only think of one person who loved wearing heels that would work
till this hour.
‘Why is she coming to look for Professor Thompson at this time?’ Austin did not know why, but he changed his mind and instantly
retracted his foot into the room.
Then he closed the door and even took two steps back.
Just after he did that, the woman in heels entered the room.
There was more than one person, judging from the sound of the footsteps, and the other person's footsteps sounded heavier.
"Professor Thompson, I'm sure you've heard what our superior said earlier.I'd advise you not to be too stubborn about this.We can’t

It was Rhea’s voice.
‘What is she saying? What superior? What do they need to stop? Who wants to stop the experiment?’ Austin was confused and
held his breath subconsciously as he continued to eavesdrop.
The two people had no idea someone else was in the room.
Thompson sounded exhausted.
"I do want all my hard work to be fruitful, but my intention had always been to help people, not harm them.
| don’t wish to see my research hurting anyone, and it might even be that many people."
"Pfft..."
Rhea scoffed.
Austin could not see her face now, but he could tell she found Thompson's words ridiculous.
"I guess you learned nothing from studying medicinal herbs for so many years.Don’t you remember that poisons can also be part
of medicines? Plus, can you look at the bigger picture for once? This is such a great invention! We should continue with it. We'll be
famous throughout history once we succeed!"
"I'm afraid we'll be famous for being hideous historical figures!"
Thompson smiled bitterly, obviously not as optimistic as Rhea was.
"That's still better than leaving nothing behind.Didn't you want to achieve fwhen you started this research and experiment?
Why do you care so much about how others would look at you? "Life is so short, and we must leave something behind.Otherwise,
we'll be no different from those peasants who no one remembers!"
Rhea was still trying to convince Thompson.

Austin was beyond confused.He never knew that Rhea had such an outlook on life, but he could not agree.
Indeed, he also wanted to be known for something good and hoped he could leave his nin history.
However, he would never want people to know him for horrible reasons because he cherished his reputation.
He shook his head in disapproval of her words but still did not understand the relationship between their conversation and the
research.
‘why did Professor Thompson say it might harm other people?’ Suddenly, Austin thought about the project involving the wilfordi
root and other poisonous herbs.
‘They were all discontinued, weren't they?’ At the time, Lily strongly opposed the research, and Austin even tried to study the
experiment to go against her.
However, he gave up on it soon after.
In comparison, he found it more worthy of studying the things that would benefit the human body.
“Could it be???”
