Damon: [I'll be waiting in the parking lot at 6:30 p.m.] It seemed he wasn't giving her a chance to refuse.
Considering that he had helped persuade Richard to agree to her divorce from Clark, she felt she owed him a meal as a thank you.
Nyla replied with a simple "Okay". She then put her phone away and focused on her experiment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Nyla, our recent experiments have been going really well. In a little while, we should be able to start testing on lab mice," Melody said excitedly.
Nyla shook her head. "It's not that simple. Before we move to trials, we need to go through countless experiments and trial and error to find the best solution. It can take years, even over a decade, for a drug to go from research to market." Melody looked shocked, momentarily pausing her work with the test tubes. "It takes that long?" "Yes, and even during trials, there can be many unpredictable factors that require constant adjustments,” Nyla elaborated.
If one lacked patience, this line of work could be really tough. The early stages of experimentation were often filled with repeated failures, and it was difficult to pinpoint why things weren't working. The daily repetition could be exhausting and monotonous.
"I see." Melody sighed, clearly disappointed. She had assumed the +25 BONUS experiment might wrap up in six months, not realizing it could take years. With her lively personality, such a slow-paced and demanding process was particularly challenging Nyla tried to comfort her. "But don't worry too much. Who knows? Maybe we'll get incredibly lucky, and every experiment will succeed. In that case, we could move to trials pretty quickly." Knowing Nyla was trying to comfort her, Melody forced a smile and nodded.
Nyla didn't say anything more. She knew that research could be tedious, and if Melody couldn't stick it out, it might be better for her to find a different path sooner rather than later.
That evening, Nyla took the elevator down to the basement level.
Damon's car was parked not far from the elevator.
After getting in, she looked at him, her expression serious.
"Uncle Damon, lettreat you to dinner tonight," she offered.
Damon glanced at her with a slight smile. "Why?" "To thank you for leaking the news about Clark's affair," Nyla replied. Damon raised an eyebrow, nodding with a hint of amusement. "Alright." There was an unreadable emotion in his dark eyes that made Nyla feel uneasy. She looked away, her ears turning slightly red.

The scent of gardenias from Nyla filled the car, distracting him. He found himself staring at the sline of text for several minutes before finally closing the file with a sigh.
Chapter 228 +25 BONUS "I'm planning to send your father abroad for treatment," he said in a low voice, Nyla was taken aback and instinctively refused, “That won't be necessary. I'll find a way to take care of my father's treatment myself."
"You wouldn't want any surprises to derail your divorce from Clark, Would you?" Damon asked.
Nyla lowered her gaze, her hands slowly clenching in her lap. She knew the Sumners might continue to use Harrison to threaten her. Sending him abroad for treatment would indeed be better. At least she wouldn't have to worry about him being used against her.
However, Harrison was weak, and she worried he wouldn't survive a m long flight. Moreover, if he were overseas, she wouldn't be able to reach him quickly if something happened. After a moment of silence, she still declined. "Uncle Damon, I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but I don't want to send my father abroad."
