Ch. 1331..1340

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1331 --Suddenly, Anastasia looked up and said firmly, "Please let me try again! For one last time! Let’s not treat it like I’m trying to lose weight or think about how much I have to lose. I can’t get any worse now. Please let me do what I want for once. I was genuinely happy around Lily, and I feel she won’t cause me harm!"

Cameron was somewhat astonished. His daughter’s beautiful eyes were full of determination. It had been such a long time since he had seen such a glow in her eyes. He was moved despite himself and was somewhat swayed. "Tasia..."

"Dad, I know you mean well, but I’m sick of eating tomatoes and cucumbers. You don’t know this, but I threw up many times before. Still, I did try to obey you!"

Tears streamed down as she continued, "I want to slim down and have a nice body too. I want to wear beautiful dresses and dance, but I’ve tried everything! Or do you think I should go for a gastrectomy? Even if I were to have the surgery, please let me try Lily’s method for the last time!"

Anastasia spoke earnestly, "Six months! Give me six months—not six months, but three! If I can’t lose weight and instead get fatter within those three months, I’ll have a gastrectomy, or I’ll do whatever you want me to, including not eating!"

She lifted her hands to wipe her tears but ended up crying nonstop. Cameron felt sorry for her, walked over, and gently tried to wrap his arms around her.

However, due to her size, he could only rest his hands on her shoulders and said soothingly, "Tasia, you’re my only daughter, and I can’t bear to scold you. I only worry about your health and don’t care if you're fat. As long as you’re in good health, you're still my dearest daughter, even if you can't slim down and stay fat for the rest of your life."

"Dad..." Anastasia had not expected her usually dignified father to say those words. Surprised, she looked at him through her tears.

"If you want to try it, then do it. You’re old enough to know about your health. I hope you remember not to believe everything others tell you and learn to ascertain what's good for you independently."

It was not easy for Cameron to say these words.

Anastasia was ecstatic. "So you agree? Thank you, Dad!"

She hugged her father and kissed his cheek, smearing her tears on his face.

Cameron looked awkward. Since Anastasia became a grownup, she seldom acted affectionately with him and was always withdrawn and nervous like a little defensive hedgehog.

It was as if his heart of steel suffered a considerable impact and yet was enveloped by warmth and gentleness. He felt as if he was back when Tasia was just a little, round-faced girl with ponytails, her chubby arms spread open for him to hug her.

He revealed a subconscious smile. "Silly girl, do you think you're still little?"

"I'm your daughter no matter how old I get. Thank you, Dad!" She thanked him with all her heart.

She was so worried that after her aunt blew up the matter, her father would lose his temper and forbid her to go to Lily’s house again.

‘Not only is he not upset, but he has also given me freedom! What an amazing surprise!’

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1332--Now that she had her father’s permission, Anastasia happily prepared to go out the next day.

She hadn’t told Lily about it yet. She planned to tell her the good news in person and have her meal at Lily’s house today. She even started to wonder what delicious food would be served.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw Fabian Moore enter carrying two huge shopping bags and was alarmed.

She worried that her aunt had not given up and had made him come over to persuade her father. ‘If he succeeds in swaying my father, then.."

"Tasia, are you going out?" Fabian saw her and asked.

"Yes, Uncle Fabian, you're here to..." She saw him carrying so much stuff and knew he was up to something.

Fabian chuckled. "I’m here to talk to your father about something. Is he home?"

‘I’ve guessed correctly!’

Anastasia blurted out, "My father’s not around—"

Before she finished, Cameron's voice came from behind her, " What's the matter?"

Fabian was puzzled. 'Didn’t Tasia say he’s not home?’

He brushed it off and walked past her with the bags. "Ron, Rhea brought some good stuff for you from Southern Nino a few days ago. Where should I put them?"

"That's very nice of her," Cameron said flatly, "I'm not always home, though, and I don't need them. Why don’t you take them back?"

"These are dried goods, and you can keep them for a long time! Besides, Rhea wanted you to keep them, and she might get upset if I take them back. Tell her yourself if you want to return her gifts, okay? I won’t be able to handle her tantrums..."

He laughed and put down the bags at an empty spot.

Anastasia glanced and saw many smaller bags stacked inside them, emitting a mild scent of plants.

"Tasia, aren’t you going out?" Cameron asked after seeing her just standing there.

Catching herself, Anastasia nodded. "Yes, I’m about to."

"where are you going? I thought you didn’t like going out? Since you are, why don’t you visit Rhea? She just returned from Southern Nino, and I’m sure she has many interesting stories to tell you."

Sitting down, Fabian said laughingly, "You don’t go out much and are not as wild as my daughter. She’s gone everywhere and kept telling your aunt and me about strange encounters we’ve never heard of!"

He tried to sound like he was complaining, but one could tell from his voice and smiling face that he was rather proud.

"Well, as you said, Uncle Fabian, Rhea is different from me. I’m afraid we would have nothing to talk about and she would find me boring instead," Anastasia answered. "I think it's best not to."

Fabian was speechless. Before he could say anything, Anastasia continued, "Dad, I better get going. Call me if you need me, okay?" Cameron nodded and gazed after her as she left.

Fabian looked astonished. "She's asking you to call her? I thought she used to be scared to answer your call the most?"

Looking away, Cameron did not reply.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1333--Anastasia was afraid to pick up his call before this. She also hardly went out and often distanced herself from everyone else. Seeing her in that state made Cameron feel worried and helpless. He was at a loss as a parent to connect with his daughter, who had never known a mother.

He had learned in the military that only a stern leader could train a disciplined army, and he believed the same was true for raising obedient children. He then demanded that she follow the rules as if they were in the army.

Anastasia did become obedient, but overly so. She looked at him in fear and would even tremble upon hearing his voice. That was not what he wanted, but he did not know how to make a change.

Then something happened. When Alexander dropped by yesterday afternoon, they chatted for a while.

Cameron rather admired the young man. Smart, driven, and resourceful yet principled, Alexander possessed qualities rarely found among businessmen nowadays. Despite Cameron’s stature,

Alexander did not attempt to solicit favors from him.

Therefore, Cameron was surprised when Alexander talked about his wife. Cameron was not interested at first in learning about others’ personal lives. Besides, he did not have a good impression of Lily.

She encouraged Anastasia to eat dessert and filled her mind with wild ideas. If it were not for Alexander's sake, he would get the servants to throw her out of his house.

However, Alexander did not try to beg forgiveness for his wife or defend her. Instead, he related an interesting thing he had learned about her.

He told Cameron that he used to think Lily was naive and stubborn.

However, after being with her, he discovered that she knew what she was talking about, although she did not bother to explain herself. Once Lily achieved her goals, Alexander realized she was not being impulsive and that she had a valid point.

She did not like to argue and would only use the results to prove her point. Once Alexander realized he could put his faith in her, he gave her complete autonomy.

At that time, Cameron said, "That's because you're her husband! Ifit's someone else, there’s no reason to trust her!"

Alexander laughed, saying, "She never cares if anyone chooses to believe her. She would persist in doing what she wants and let the results speak for themselves."

Cameron was doubtful, but when he returned and saw how

Anastasia reacted, he suddenly felt that it might be worth a try as long as his daughter was safe.

Just as his daughter had told him, she had nothing to lose, and things could not get worse than they were now.

All of a sudden, he decided to let go. After all, he had not seen his daughter so happy for a long time.

"Ron?" As Fabian had not responded, he asked again in bewilderment.

Cameron caught himself and put down the file in his hand. "Why are you here?"

"I just came to see you. Rhea—" He tried to laugh it off. Knowing that Cameron had not yet left for work, he timed his arrival accordingly.

Cameron always stuck to the rules in the office and making an appointment to see him there was troublesome.

"If there’s nothing else, I shall leave for my office." Cameron got straight to his point. He was forthright and had no patience for beating around the bush. Besides, he knew that his late wife’s brother would never bring gifts over without reason, and he had a rough idea why he was here.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1334--Although he knew what Cameron was like, Fabian lost his smile and chuckled in embarrassment. "Ron, look at you! It’s still early. Why the hurry to leave for work? Can’t I talk with you for a moment?"

"Do you have anything important to talk about? If you don’t, I have things to do." Cameron’s face grew stem. He hated Fabian for being glib and not getting to the point.

Seeing him upset, Fabian dropped his ingratiating smile and said thoughtfully, "Yes, yes, of course, I have something important to discuss with you. I heard you’re in charge of the tender process for Project Immuno, aren’t you?"

Having learned about it through snooping around, Fabian rushed over to ensure that the project would not fall into other people's hands.

‘We should always keep the goodies within the family, but Cameron always goes by the book and never knows how to take care of his people. I’d be a fool if I didn’t take the initiative to get what I deserve"

"You heard? From who?" Frowning, Cameron knew he had come for this.

Since the news leaked, many people had tried to secure the project, and he turned them down, to their dismay. Therefore, seeing Fabian bring over so many things early in the morning, he knew he had come for this matter.

"The news is all over town!" He waved his arms theatrically. "Ron, so it’s true, isn’t it? I don’t mind what happened in the past, but can you prioritize me this time?" He pointed at his nose and grinned.

Cameron looked askance at him and curled his lips. "You?"

He drew out the word doubtfully.

"Yeah! Project Immuno is a good program. As a preventive measure, vaccination for children is great for the country and its people, and I’d like to contribute. Ron, you've worked diligently and given your all for the nation and your career. Let me give you a hand and learn from you simultaneously!"

‘He spoke gallantly but... 1 might only believe him if I didn’t know what he’s like! Fabian only cares about money. So many people are eyeing this lucrative project and are hoping to make a killing with it. Would I not know what he’s thinking?’

"If you truly believe that, then your sister didn't raise you for nothing," Cameron chuckled coldly.

At the mention of his sister, a look of embarrassment flashed across Fabian’s face, but he kept nodding. "Of course! I’m indebted to my sister and have to repay her. It’s a pity that she died young, and I could only perform good deeds for society on her behalf.

Ron, do help me, okay? For my sister’s sake?"

"Well, if you’re sincere, then do a good job on your bid documents.

If you’re good enough, you’ll surely be able to get the tender," Cameron said vaguely, "What you should be doing now is not chitchatting with me but going back and working on your tender submission, okay?"

"So..." Fabian hesitated momentarily and looked a bit confused. " Ron, are you saying you'll give me the opportunity?"

"The opportunity is open to all because everyone has an equal chance. If you truly want to do this project, work hard!" Cameron raised his hand and patted Fabian’s shoulder.

He wished the man could put in his effort and not waste time finding shortcuts.

"Yes, yes!" Looking over at his shoulder, Fabian answered excitedly. "Ron, you’re right, and I get it! 1’11 work hard and not let you down."

Withdrawing his hand to pick up his jacket, Cameron wanted him to know that he had to leave now.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1335 --"Let me give you a ride, Ron!"

Fabian hurriedly said, "I bought a new car a few days ago. See if the seats are cozy enough or if you like it."

Cameron looked over his shoulder and glanced at Fabian with a frown. Fabian immediately caught on.

"Ah, yes, I get it. Let’s keep it low- profile."

He revealed a big smile and tried to show that he knew the common practice among government officials.

Cameron stared at him and shook his head.

‘You get it? Yeah, right! I told him so many times, but he never listened. Forget it. I’ll just be wasting my time!’ After seeing Cameron off, Fabian obediently returned home and saw that his wife was about to leave.

He clicked his tongue and asked, "Why are you going out as well?"

"I’m going to meet the miracle doctor," she answered and asked in return, "Who else is going out?"

Fabian waved her off, skipped her question, and said, "Why are you meeting with the miracle doctor? Didn't you say Tasia doesn’t want to see him?"

"What does a young girl know? Besides, the miracle doctor didn’t say he would quit and has simply run afoul of Mrs.Russell!"

Maria looked Fabian up and down and noticed he could hardly contain his excitement.

"There’s something wrong with you today.

Didn’t you wish to get the miracle doctor to treat Tasia so that Ron would be indebted to us? Why have you changed your mind? Don’t you want to lick his a* s anymore?"

"Tsk!"

Fabian looked upset.

"Say it nicely, okay? Anyway, I’ll forgive you because I’m in a good mood today. Listen, woman. I’ve secured Project Immuno!"

"Project Immuno? That lucrative program?"

Maria did not know much about business deals, but sadly, she had often heard her husband talk about it.

Their small company couldn't get the contract because the competition was fierce.

However, since Cameron was in charge of such a profitable project, the husband and wife coveted it and thought it would be a heavy loss if they could not secure it.

After seeing how happy Fabian was and hearing what he had said, Maria also became delighted.

"For real?"

"What do I get from lying to you?"

Fabian rolled his eyes and looked smug.

"Stay here, and we’ll go out to have a celebratory meal later!"

Maria laughed for a bit, caught herself, and patted him.

"Are you silly? It’s still too early! Besides, because of this, I’ll have to go out more!"

"For what?"

Fabian did not comprehend her point.

"To meet the miracle doctor!" She said, "Think about it. Your sister -in-law has gone strictly by the book for so many years.

Why did Ron suddenly agree to give the contract to you? "It must be because he knew we found the miracle doctor for Tasia and felt indebted to us! If we lose the doctor now, what if Ron changes his mind and doesn't give you the contract?"

Fabian thought she was correct as realization dawned on him.

" Yes, you're d*mn right! Why didn’t I think of that? Then you better leave now and bring more stuff with you. You have to bring the miracle doctor back!"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1336--"Look, would you be able to do it without me?"

Maria was proud that she played a significant role in this.

After pacing around for a while, she stopped and turned around.

"By the way, are you sure your brother-in-law agreed? It'd be embarrassing if you misunderstood him."

Her question shocked Fabian, and he thought about it carefully.

"I- I think so. He told me to return once I've prepared the tenders and told me to work hard."

After a pause, he waved around and continued, "Whatever it is, you won't understand it! Secretaries like them are always vague with their words. They can't let their words bite them in the a*s. It's already an obvious hint for him to say that. I'd be an idi*t if I didn't get his hints!"

Maria’s question made Fabian uneasy, but when he thought about how Cameron had tapped his shoulder, it assured him that it was an obvious hint.

‘Didn't they do that in movies too? Yes, that’s right! It was a prod!’ With that in mind, Fabian regained his confidence.

"All right, enough chit-chatting. Hurry up and look for that miracle doctor of yours. By the way, you said the miracle doctor has connections to Mrs.Russell."

As soon as Fabian brought this up, Maria became furious.

She could not help but frown and grumble, "About that, it took me so much work to finally convince the doctor to come and see Anastasia, but Mrs.Russell just had to get in the way! "She was so arrogant! Even your sister wasn't as prideful as Mrs.Russell was when she was alive. Mrs.Russell pissed the miracle doctor off, and he left. If it weren't because we were at her house, I would've slapped her!"

"You said Mrs.Russell is Alexander's wife?"

"That's the woman! What's wrong? Does knowing that she’s his wife scare you? I don't care! What's the big deal? Is this all because she married into a renowned family? I heard that woman drove the Old Mrs.Russell to the mountains. Don't you see how malicious this woman is?"

Fabian snorted.

"Scared? Before today, I would've been scared of Alexander. Now, money will come flowing in after I take charge of Project Immuno. Who is Alexander to me, then? No matter how powerful he is, he's still just a businessman. Remember that our family has informants in there!"

"you're right!"

Maria clenched her hands and nodded vigorously.

"There's nothing to fear! When I saw that woman just now, my eyes started hurting. We're the ones who watched Tasia grow up, yet, she dared talk back to me yesterday just because of that woman!

"I don't know what Mrs.Russell fed Tasia for her to be like this! She must’ve fed Tasia the junk food she loves so much!"

"That girl is a fool! I don't understand what is wrong with her. If it weren't for my late sister’s sake, I wouldn't even want to see Anastasia’s face. When I saw her the other day, I was so disgusted. She looks like a pig!"

Fabian looked disgusted. He would not have even looked at his niece if he did not have to curry favors with his brother-in-law.

Fabian’s elder sister was a beauty queen then, and his brother-in-law was handsome and elegant.

Fabian could not understand why their daughter turned out to be so fat and ugly. He had no idea whose genes Anastasia inherited.

"Don't!"

Maria quickly reached out to cover his mouth.

"If those words get to your brother-in-law's ears, it would flip your world inside out! You know how much Ron treasures and spoils that girl. ; He had never looked for another woman for her sake."

"That's because he loved my sister."

Fabian was calm about it."Besides, why can't I say a few words in my own house? All right, enough babbling. Quickly go and do your things. You might not be able to get the doctor if you're too slow!"

Maria got upset after her husband yelled at her.

"Look who's urging me to call for him again. You're the one who told me to call it off!"

After that, she turned and left.

They were both on the same side at the end of the day.

If her husband and the Moore family had done well, she and Rhea would have had a good life. The thought of her daughter immediately made Maria smile.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1337-Rhea was still more filial compared to Anastasia.

After studying medicine abroad, she returned and pursued medicinal herbs, saying she wanted to master them both. Her future was limitless.

‘Who knows? The miracle doctor may take her in as his apprentice.

Even if she can’t be Dominic's direct apprentice, it’s also prideful to be his apprentice's apprentice"

With those thoughts in mind, Maria became even more determined to chat with the miracle doctor today.

Just as Austin was about to leave the house, Maria stopped him.He did not expect this woman to be so resourceful.

Not only did she get his phone number, she even knew where he lived.

It was scary now that he thought about it.

Clueless about what was on his mind, Maria smiled brightly at him.

She had various gifts in her arms, and the servants behind her carried even more.

"Mr.Fike! Mr.Fike!" She called out smilingly.

"Where are you going?"

"Why? Do I need to give you my itinerary, Mrs.Moore?" He replied coldly.

"Sure!"

She blurted out.She quickly tried to cover up her excitement when she noticed his complexion.

"No, I didn't mean that! I'm just here to apologize for yesterday.

"Look, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.I didn’t expect Mrs.Russell to treat you like that.Don't worry.I've already told my niece to stay away from that woman!"

Maria was trying to show her loyalty and that she was on his side.

However, which side she was on did not matter to Austin.

"It's none of my business whether or not your niece stays away from that woman."

After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around.

"By the way, if Mrs.Russell thinks I can't treat your niece, she must have a better solution.Why don't you ask her instead of coming here to beg me?"

With a cold smile, he walked toward his car mercilessly.

Maria hurriedly followed him, calling for the servants to follow suit.

They chased after her with the gifts, panting.

"Mr.Fike, you must be kidding! What does that woman know? She's just relying on her husband's familial status, riding the waves.She’s out of your league.You don't have to care about her.I want you to treat my niece, not her."

At this point, she was exhausted, but Austin did not care for her.He had already opened the door and got into the car.

Maria noticed he was about to leave and started to get anxious.

She reached out to grab the car door and sputtered, "Mr.Fike, tell me! What should I do so you'll see my niece again? Do I have to beat that woman up?!"

It was just a casual exclamation, but it caught his attention.

Two seconds later, he slowly smiled.

"Sure!"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1338 --Maria was stunned.She did not mean it, yet Austin seemed to have taken it seriously.

In her moment of hesitation, he put on his seat belt and retorted, "

Forget it if you don't dare to do it!"

This sentence immediately poked at her self-esteem.

'Who said I won't?"

However, Austin ignored her and started the car.

Thinking that he was angry, Maria hurriedly said, "Mr.Fike, although people are afraid of the Russell family, I couldn't care less about them! My brother-in-law is Secretary Rollins. Why would I be scared? Just wait! I'll go beat her up right now! Will you be willing to treat my niece if 1 beat her up?"

Austin looked ahead and did not take her words seriously.

To him, she was just a crazy woman.

"We'll see!"

With that, he started his car and stepped on the accelerator.

Maria quickly let go and watched the car drive farther and farther away. She yelled after it, "Mr.Fike, you wait! I'll do it!"

Austin was highly committed to this experiment.

After finishing his work, he headed straight to the research institute.

However, the person he saw as soon as he entered the laboratory was the last person he had expected to see.

Once he saw who the figure dressed in a lab coat was more clearly, he stepped forward and accused, "You?! Didn't you say you quit?!"

"Huh? When did I say that?"

Lily turned around with her eyebrow raised as if she had completely forgotten it.

"Of course you did! You even said that we shouldn't continue this experiment. You said you're going to pull out!" He snapped aggressively. He was conflicted.

On the one hand, he wanted the past data that Lily had.

On the other hand, he did not believe she could achieve anything. He did not want to see her here.

Under his interrogation, Lily pretended to think about it fora moment before waving her hands around dismissively.

"Then, let's just say I regret it!"

"What?! How can you go back on your words like that?! Do you know what it means for a gentleman not to go back on his words?! "

Austin was speechless that she would pull something like this.

‘This woman is unreasonable!’ However, she smiled indifferently.

"Really? I'm afraid I'm not a gentleman. I'm a woman."

She shrugged and turned to look at the changes in the test tubes and the data values in the computer.

Austin closed in on her.

"If you don't like this experiment, why did you come back? Did Professor Thompson put you up to this? You don't understand anything about medicinal herbs.Even if you do, it's just superficial knowledge.You've been researching for so long, yet to no avail.You..."

Just as he rambled on, Lily suddenly turned around and poked him.

"You're so noisy!"

This shocked him for a moment.

Once he returned to his senses, he wanted to continue rambling, only to find that his mouth opened and shut, but no sound came out.He was suddenly overcome with fright and tried to make a sound, but nothing came out.

Then he dug in his ears.

‘Did I suddenly become deaf?' However, he could still hear the clinks of the test tubes and the computer's beeps.

He just couldn't hear his voice.

The area Lily poked felt numb.

It was a little strange.

Could the mute acupressure point that TV shows and novels talked about?! No, no way! Even if it were true, how could Lily know how to do it? This kind of thing was simply non-existent.

He had been studying for so long, yet he had never encountered anything as dumb as this mute acupressure point.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1339--Austin’s hands wandered to his throat, and his mouth opened and shut.

There was still no sound to be heard.

He was starting to get anxious as sweat began to form on his forehead.

On the other hand, Lily turned her back on him and continued concentrating on her experiment.

Austin was panicking.

Although he didn't know what was happening, he knew it had something to do with Lily.

Without much thought, he tapped her shoulder.

However, she did not pay attention to him as she bent over and stared at the test tubes in front of her.

In response, he tapped her shoulder again and again.

At this point, Lily was so annoyed that she turned around and impatiently poked him twice.

"Are you done?!"

Austin was stunned.

This time, not only did he lose his voice, he couldn't even move his hands.

This feeling was weird and terrifying.He stood there as his eyes darted around.

It was as if he was trapped in a nightmare.

In just a blink, he was subverted.

Was there such an acupressure point in this world? Why was this woman, whom he hated most of all, so difficult to deal with? Although he refused to believe such things existed, he could not explain why he was rooted to the ground, unable to speak or move.

Sweat began to drip down his cheeks.

He desperately wanted to break free from the shackles.

It was a strange feeling.

However, no matter how hard he tried, it was all futile.

It was all too strange.

Lily was satisfied that she finally shut him up and continued her experiment.

People were generally not allowed to come in and out at their own will while she was conducting her experiments.

Other than Thompson, no one was allowed in without her permission, and no one would dare to make noise.

Austin, who was always trying to make a name for himself, came in and talked so much nonsense.

His yapping in her ears was causing her head to hurt.

If she had not been agitated, she would not have touched his acupressure points.

After all, if this spread, it would cause unnecessary trouble, and this was something she wanted to avoid.

After a while, a reaction was happening in one of the test tubes.

The data value on the computer also began to fluctuate at a constant rate.

Lily stared at it closely.

She had been thinking about it over the past two days at home, reading many books, and searching for information on the Internet.

Lily even conducted her little experiment in her own laboratory.

She came here to prove if her revised plan was feasible.She felt that she could succeed this time.

Although Austin could not move or speak, he could still hear and see.

He watched the changes in the test tubes in front of him, staring at them without blinking.He was curious about the results of the experiment.

At this moment, Thompson peeked in before coming into the laboratory.

"Lily, I heard that you're back.Here you are! I'm glad you're back! Hey, Austin, you're here too! If you two can work together, we'll get the result twice as fast with half the effort.We'll succeed soon enough!"

While he talked, no one paid attention to him.

Both of them had their backs turned and were focused on the changes on the experiment table.

With a slight cough of embarrassment, Thompson took a few steps forward and put his hand on Austin's shoulder.

'How is the experiment going?"

Ding! A crisp sound rang in the laboratory, and the reaction in the test tube gradually calmed down.

The data values in the computer were rapidly integrated into the system.

Austin rolled his eyes and wanted to speak, but to no avail.He was shocked and angry and on the edge of exploding.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1340--In an instant, Thompson's attention was turned to the computer.He let go of Austin's shoulders and took a few steps forward.

"How is it?"

Lily didn't answer as she tapped away on the keyboard, watching the data on the screen move around quickly.

After a while, the integration was complete.

"It's a success!"

The excitement in her voice was unmistakable.

Although this experiment was a simple medicinal herb fusion, it was still a giant leap forward.

As long as there were successful precedents, the subsequent ones would be easier.

There would always be some commonalities between them.

"Amazing!"

Thompson was delighted as he pumped his fists happily.

"This is terrific! I knew I was right about you, Lily! You are amazing! You're still our savior at the end of the day.I thought you wouldn't return.I'm so glad you're back!"

He continued saying, "Now that you're back, I'm sure the experiment will succeed! Austin, don't you think so?"

Seeing that he didn't get a response, he turned to look at Austin, only to see him standing there, motionless and expressionless.

"Austin?"

Thompson found this a little strange.

Could it be that he was overwhelmed with emotions? At this moment, Lily returned to reality, only to remember that there was a third person in the room.She quickly straightened up and walked toward Austin, patting him on the back.

"He must be so happy that I succeeded that he's speechless!"

Her seemingly simple pat released him from the suppression he had been feeling.He suddenly was able to move his hands and feet, although they were a little numb.

"Really?"

Thompson was a little bewildered.

If Austin was thrilled, why didn't he show emotions or answer when people talked to him? "Austin?"

Austin returned to his senses and shot a conflicted look at Lily before hurriedly responding to Thompson.

"Yes, Professor Thompson!"

As soon as Austin opened his mouth, he felt his throat was dry.

He took this opportunity to clear his throat and hide his embarrassment.He was conflicted at the moment.

The shock he had experienced in the short ten minutes was indescribable.

Although he still didn't believe that Lily could hit such acupressure points, there was no other explanation for what had happened.

With a pat on his back, he suddenly returned to normal.

If it was not acupressure points, could it be magic? However, no matter how shocked, terrified, and troubled he felt, he would not tell anyone about this, especially Thompson.

Thompson already had an inexplicable belief in this woman.

Now that her experiment has succeeded, if Austin told Thompson that she knew about acupressure points, he would regard her as a god.

Austin would not say a word.

Thompson was unhappy when he noticed that Austin seemed distracted.
