Thomas was still in the dark, but he still agreed politely. Finally, after watching Gareth reenter the lab, he retracted his gaze and returned to the car to wait.

Time was slowly slipping through their fingers. As Elisa and Jeremy did the tests, Gareth watched them from the side.

Though he couldn't do anything to help, he didn't dare to shift his gaze from them. He was worried that he might spot a hint of disappointment, yet he knew he had to watch on.

He saw Jeremy heaving a sigh of relief after finishing a series of tests.

Even though Elisa remained impassive, he could tell a thing or two from her expression.

He remained silent all the time, not wanting to distract them.

After three hours, they finished the tests for all the samples brought by Thomas.

Thomas and the rest of the people involved were waiting for more instructions.


However, there wasn't any news from Gareth, making them tense.

Elisa slowly straightened her back and looked at Gareth, who had been focusing on her.

"We're done with these samples."

"And?" He stared into her eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, she replied, "They are all very successful. We could proceed further, but…"

She suddenly didn't know how to continue her sentence.

Knowing what was going through her mind, Jeremy voiced her panic and fears.

"The experiments we are doing now are fine. But they are just samples, after all. In the next step, we need to do actual tests on cancer patients. If it's successful, everything is perfect. But if it fails, we might worsen the disease and shorten their lifespans."

Elisa pursed her lips and sighed. She couldn't bring herself to do that.

If I have cancer, I will test it on myself without hesitation. But… I can't do this to Grandma. She doesn't have a lot of time left. What if…

She didn't dare to finish the thought.

"Let me do it."

"You?" She looked at him, not comprehending what he meant.
