The stars were clearly visible across the dark night sky.Under the starry sky, Helma and Sophia soaked in the hot spring pool.Sophia leaned against the edge of the hot spring. The edge of the hot spring pool was made from smooth, natural stones."Cole really knows how to enjoy life. His hot spring
Helma took a step back in the dark room.She raised her eyes and looked at Cole."That's all I want to say."Obviously, she was not the one affected by what she just said.Cole's presence changed from his usual indifference to being extremely aggressive.Helma subconsciously took another step back.

"Don't worry, she's just going to watch!"Helma bounced over with enthusiasm.In a corner of the yard lay a heap of raw timber.William dragged over the cutting and sanding gear, hoisted a log into the yard with a grunt, and got to work.Helma was itching to help, but William waved her off. "It's no
Richard's temper flared at Owen's nonchalant attitude. He leaped over the couch and jabbed his finger right in Owen's face."I don't care what kind of tall tales you're spinning, but you marrying Helma is out of the question!""What's got everyone so riled up about Helma?" Owen's expression darkened
With everyone else keeping mum, Silver Obsidian cut to the chase, "We'll go with Helma's plan."For six months straight, Serena had practically lived in the lab. At first, Starlight Blossom did not seem to do much. Everyone was on edge, wondering if it would make any difference at all. Then, in the
During her month off, Helma took a break from the daily preschool runs and whisked her kids away on a travel spree.The trip was not without its scares—Serena had a severe bout of illness.Helma was prepared, yet the sudden severity of the attack caught her off guard.Without a second thought, she r
Under the questioning eyes of the crowd, Helma fired up her laptop and plugged in a USB stick.The video started playing on the massive screen.The timestamp in the corner showed it was from two nights ago.Usually, the lab was locked up tight after hours, and by eight or nine, the research center w
Hort watched her walk away, a storm of emotions on his face.Ever since she joined the research center, he had seen Wendy as this super-capable girl with a heart of gold.Whenever the team hit a wall with the experiments or the data just would not play nice, Wendy was the one who would spark up the
The poor thing's symptoms were straight out of a horror flick: muscles clenching like crazy, nerves on fire, bleeding inside, gasping for air, and foaming at the mouth. Some of them even had their hearts stop cold turkey.According to the timeline, the rat had been juiced up with three rounds of Sta
With the report out of the way, the experiment team kicked things into high gear to wrap up their project.The meticulously calculated data was in, and the verdict was clear: Starlight Blossom's effects were rock-solid stable. The only thing left for the lab mice was one final shot.The brain trust
"Come on, you think the boss is scatterbrained like you? Someone totally did this on purpose!" "Who would do something that evil?!" "Guess we're gonna have to push back the presentation." Everyone looked like they had lost their best friend, except Wendy. She had this worried frown, but her eyes w
After pulling two all-nighters, Helma had the report materials ready to go.The research center was deserted.She stretched, yawned, and glanced at the clock. One AM.She powered down her computer and left, still yawning.Once she was gone, a sneaky figure slipped into the office...Deputy Commander
