Chapter 1283
Since things had gotten to this point, Thompson thought he might as well tell Lily the truth. After taking
another mouthful of food, he began to open up. 'I'm the one who proposed this experiment. I'm sure
you know this too," he said as he solemnly put down his silverware.
Lily nodded, gesturing to him to continue.
"Initially, it was just an idea and a rough plan. I've grown accustomed to seeing various patients my
age, and death wasn't uncommon. Dying isn't the worst part. What's terrible is the torment of the
illnesses. Some can't take typical medication while the pain of surgery is too much.
"There’s also the slow process of home remedies that may or may not work. Some children struggle to
take pills and elderly who can't move..." Thompson sighed while Lily remained quiet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat he said had moved her. After all, dying from illnesses is a terrifying form of death.
"Then I thought my idea could treat people's illnesses and sustain them in the long run if they could
integrate medicinal herbs into their daily lives and take advantage of the medicinal properties
subconsciously."
Although it started as just a random idea, seeing how it might come into reality still excited him. Not
only would it be honorable for him, but it would also be a monumental moment in the history of
medicinal herbs.
Even after all this, Lily remained silent. That was the selling point for her back then. She thought it was
a meaningful project and decided to join. She knew all this, but this was not what she was asking
about.
Thompson glanced at her and seemed to realize that she was not interested in what he had just said.
He cleared his throat and spoke again,’ Well, other like-minded people are very interested in my idea
and think it seems feasible.
"It is their support that made me start this experiment. Of course, La Beaute Group's investment plays
a big role. Also, they kickstarted this whole project.’
"They?" Lily immediately picked up on an anomaly and jumped on it. The ■' they" Thompson
mentioned intrigued her.
She had been in the institute for several months, and for such a long time, she never realized that there
was a "they." Of course, the only place she barely set foot in was the top floor.
'Was that where "they" resided? Impossible!'
Although it was on the top floor, anyone that went there would have to pass through the laboratory.
Throughout the time that Lily was there, she had never seen anyone except Mike a few days ago.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Mike? Could it be him?'
However, Lily quickly dismissed the idea. If it were Mike, he would not have to try and curry favors with
her back then if he wanted to be a part of the project.
Thompson's face immediately changed when Lily questioned him about the "they" he mentioned. He let
out a light cough and quickly picked up his glass to take a sip. "About that...l don't think I can tell you
about it."
"So, 'they' support your experiment and ask for nothing in return?"
"Of course they did. Once the experiment succeeds, they want 50% of the first batch of the finished
products!"
Sure enough, there was no free lunch in this world. There must be a return for the other party to fund
this project. It was the same thing with La Beaute Group. At that time, they saw this project's vision. If
the experiment were a success, it would blow up.
