Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1255

Chapter 1255

“It's nothing.” Lily shook her head and leaned into his arms. Suddenly, she asked, "I went to try it today, and it’s as I had expected. After adding the essential oil, the evaporation time of the medicinal herbs will be delayed."

“Yeah.” Alexander nodded in response. He knew little but was willing to listen to everything she said. "What's the implication of that?"

"If I try it a few more times, I'll be able to convince them that the experiment was successful and the desired outcome was obtained."

Lily stretched out her arms and fiddled with her fingers. When she was in the institute, the smell of medicinal herbs got on her, but fortunately, Galen was used to her body smelling like all sorts of things and was not repelled by it.

“You still think they have other motives for doing this experiment, don't you?" Alexander added after a moment of silence, "Why don't I get someone to find out what they're up to?"

Lily shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't want you to investigate them, but there isn't anything you can find. I've looked around the lab and didn't notice any secret doors, rooms, or anything. Before this, the lab was an abandoned lecture building at the university.

“Professor Thompson is cautious and doesn't say much either. I've tried to ask him about this a few times, but he just told me to focus on the experiment and nothing else. When I was there today, I asked him again about the tests should the experiment succeed. He gave me a vague answer before switching the topic."

Every time Lily thought about this, she would feel anxious.

“You're afraid they would test it on humans?" Alexander hit the nail on the head.

“Yeah.” Lily nodded without any hesitation. “Before this, they said they would test it on lab rats or rabbits, but I'm sure you know that medicinal herbs are not like other medicines since it takes a longer time to see their effects.’

“Hence, it'll be difficult to monitor it from the data. As for the fragrance part, it'll be even harder to test. It's not like the lab rats or rabbits could tell us what they smelled, so I suspect they'll test it on humans."

"It sounds a little redundant.” Alexander finally found the word after thinking for a moment.

“Exactly!” Lily nodded in agreement.

“There's another kind, which will have the exact opposite effect with the anesthesia. It'll excite its users, so it's something like a stimulant. It'll also be added to the ingredients used to make scented candles, which can create a comparison between the two types of candles. If they could succeed with the medicinal herbs with the exact opposite effect, they believe the following experiments will succeed easily.”

"What about the third kind?"

At this point, Alexander was also interested in the topic and asked, "It’s not the kind to make someone's head hazy, making them believe they're on cloud nine, is it?"
