StarNovel
Chapter 1450
"Hey, didn't you say you would leave him here? W-Why are you changing your mind?" Dominic chased
after the mother-son duo without putting his shoes on and complained.
"I’m not leaving yet. I'll bring Galen over when I am,’ Lily replied helplessly. ’ Didn't you tell me to take
him elsewhere?"
"Does Grandpa hate me?" Galen's eyes widened. Hurt was evident on his face, and he dropped the
little toy car in his hand out of shock.
Seeing this, Dominic was immediately distressed. "No, no. How could I hate you? I will always dote on
you!"
With that, he pursed his lips and leaned toward Galen's cheek. However, Galen turned away and said,
"What do you mean?"
"It means I like you! You are my favorite person in the world!" It was only in front of Galen that Dominic

Lily could not stand watching this and turned away with a sigh. She did not blame her son for always
pulling Dominic’s beard or destroying his things. At this moment, Galen had buried his little face in
Dominic's beard.
Austin had stayed up all night in the laboratory and finally saw his desired results.
'Success!'
The success this time was different from before. This time, everything was entirely Austin's own efforts.
This new variety had a medicinal property infused into the fragrance. Inhaling it would calm people
down and relieve their restless and violent tendencies.
To test this out, he injected several mice with hyperactive drugs before fuming the chamber with this
new product. The results came back a success, with very high potency.
He knew he could do it. After all, Lily had been researching for so long, only to have succeeded twice.
He was here for a shorter period than her, yet he also managed to succeed.
Austin eagerly looked for Thompson with the successful sample product in his hand. Austin
remembered seeing him go upstairs late last night.
'Professor Thompson must've stayed up here all night.'
Recently, Thompson had become visibly haggard. He had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were
sunken. Other workers at the laboratory were not in a good state either. After all, they all had a heavy
workload and were under immense pressure.
However, Austin believed it would not go on for much longer. There would be successive successes
soon. The research in the laboratory would surely shock the world, and his contribution to this would be
undoubtedly outstanding.
He was thrilled when he arrived outside Thompson's office. Without a second thought, he reached out
to turn the doorknob, only to find it unlocked. When he pushed the door in, he was greeted by
emptiness.
"Professor Thompson?" Thinking that Thompson might be in the smaller room, Austin walked in to see
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma neatly folded bed. It seemed like no one had even slept there.
At this moment, Austin's elevated mood immediately dropped. He thought he could share this good
news with Thompson immediately.
After Lily left, Austin could tell that the people in the laboratory were starting to lose confidence. They
were not working as hard as before, and no one worked overtime at night. Sometimes, he felt he was
the only one taking this project seriously.
Of course, although there were other project teams, he did not know their responsibilities. On top of
that, Rhea was in charge, so the staff in her team would work harder.
Austin could understand the difference in morals. After all, Lily was supposed to lead this project team.
Now that she had left, they faced pressure, even if discouraged. Therefore, it was normal for them to
slack off.
However, Austin's newfound success was a shot in the arm. It would be a game-changer. He clenched
the vial in his hand, turned, and was about to leave when he heard footsteps outside. It was the crisp
sound of high heels.
'High heels?!’
