Chapter 1282
Thompson’s smile froze for a moment before he chuckled. Then he proceeded to open the menu,
flipped through a few pages, and ordered a few dishes. Afterward, he looked at Lily solemnly again.
"How have you been these days?"
Lily hated it when people tried to beat around the bush and snapped, am Professor Thompson, this is
not the first day we've met, so I think you know how I am. Let's get straight to the point. I still have no
idea if the final product will be good or harmful for the public."
Thompson looked terrified when he heard her words. "Harmful?! Why do you think that? Although we're
not doctors, we know how to cure diseases and save lives. Pharmacology is beneficial to humankind.
Of course, it'd be good for the public."
"Really?" Lily picked up the glass and took a sip. "In that case, why were the assistants using wilfordi
during the experiment?"
"How did you know it's wilfordi?" Thompson blurted before he could stop himself, and a guilty look
flashed across his face instantly. He seemed to have feigned ignorance on this matter.
Of course, he knew of it. After all, he graduated from a university specializing in medicinal herbs and
had studied herbs for decades. How could he not recognize wilfordi roots?
Lily's suspicion grew after confirming he knew what it was. Thompson knew and did not bother to
explain what it was, did not bother to stop its usage, did not question it, and did not tell her what they
used the herb for.
A knowing smile appeared on Lily's face when she saw his reaction.
Thompson immediately took a sip from his cup in a weak attempt to cover his face. "Um, things are not
what they seem." He paused before continuing, "I have no intention of hurting you."
"I know. You even told me it's a little poisonous and to handle it carefully. However, you should have
told me what it was.
"About that... Although wilfordi roots are poisonous, they also have medicinal purposes. In medicinal
herbs, many plants are poisonous.
However, they can still be extracted and made into medicines. Is this why you think our experiment is
harming people?"
Thompson paused, then asked tentatively, "Is that why you insist on quitting?’
"Kind of." Lily leaned back and thought for a moment before saying, "Not entirely, though."
"What do you mean?"
"Professor Thompson, until this point, my knowledge of the experiment barely scratches the surface.
What are you, or should I say, you guys doing? " Lily's gaze on the older man before her was scorching
hot, scrutinizing him.
At this point, Thompson was too scared to even look at her. It was as if she could see right through his
soul.
He was saved by the bell when the waiter came right in time to serve the food. After moving aside to
allow the waiter to put down the food, he quickly waved. "Let's eat first!"
However, Lily did not move and continued to stare at him. Ultimately, he buried his head in the food,
attempting to push the matter aside.
After a while, Lily grabbed the key from the table and sighed. "It seems you're not here to tell me the
truth today, Professor Thompson. If that's the case, there's no need for me to stay any longer. I don't
even have an appetite for this meal. So..."
She took some money and left them on the table. "Take it as my treat for taking care of me back in the
lab. Goodbye!"
Thompson noticed she was about to leave and hurriedly raised his head." This experiment is for the
betterment of humankind, but I..."
Lily paused when she heard this and looked back to see his hesitant expression. Then she narrowed
her eyes and repeated, "Betterment of humankind?"
