Chapter 670: The other researchers exchanged puzzled glances, but none dared to interrupt.
Khloe turned her attention to Henrik's latest test results. She adjusted the medicine accordingly before stepping forward, the syringe in her hand.
Whitney shouted, "Khloe! Don't be reckless! That's Henrik!" She wasn't worried about Henrik's life. Her anger had nothing to do with concern. She was terrified that if Khloe succeeded, she would be left with nothing—no credit, no recognition.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKhloe spared her a single glance, unimpressed. Without wasting another second, she pushed the needle into Henrik's skin and administered the injection.
Silence fell over the lab. Every pair of eyes locked onto Henrik, watching, waiting. The tension was suffocating. Genetic diseases were nearly impossible to overcome.
And now, Henrik was the test subject. If something went wrong-if he didn't make it—not even Khloe would be able to escape the consequences.
The Watson family wouldn't forgive such a failure.
Khloe remained still, her eyes fixed on Henrik and the screens monitoring his vitals. Every flicker, every fluctuation-she was prepared for any possibility.

Just when hope began to take root, Henrik's body jerked violently. His face contorted in pain. Then, without warning, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Whitney, previously uneasy, now scoffed at Khloe. "How can you be so cold-hearted, Khloe? You claim to oppose human trials, yet isn't this exactly what you're doing with Henrik? You'll face consequences if he suffers harm." When Khloe didn't respond, Whitney told the researchers sarcastically, "Why follow her? It's like willingly accepting death itself. You risk everything for nothing. Is it truly worth your lives?" Charlotte caught Whitney's smug look and responded sharply, "We believe it's worth the risk. More importantly, I have faith in Khloe." They had faced countless challenges together, yet they had managed to overceach one, all thanks to Khloe's leadership. She was certain that this twould be no different.
The researchers, initially shocked by Charlotte's declaration, reflected on their experiences. Recalling that Khloe was never the boasting type, they regained their composure.
"Our trust in Khloe is solid."
