Three days later, Edward's health report finally arrived.Every health indicator was getting better.The medicinal baths were working wonders.A week went by, and the new pill medicine was ready too.Silver Obsidian had made a list of instructions: "Take the pill twice a day, have a medicinal bath e
Silver Obsidian walked in just in time to catch Leon looking all mixed up.He had been around for more than a month.Every time he talked to Leon, Leon was all chilly and standoffish.This was the first time he saw Leon looking so alive.They locked eyes.Leon quickly hid how he was feeling and look
"No, that's okay, I know the way. You look busy," Helma said, turning down her help and swiping her card for the elevator.The receptionist waited until the elevator doors had shut before leaning over to her coworker and whispering, "Wasn't Mrs. Guller at home recently, having her second baby? She h
Tucked inside the notebook were the lost pages from the Book of Medical Remedies!Helma was sure Alan did not know about this.That meant Ethan must have found the pages long ago and kept them hidden.This was the perfect hiding spot.After all, who would bother with a kid's diary?Helma tucked the
Helma stroked her daughter's round cheeks and murmured, "If my son doesn't look like me, and my daughter doesn't either, I'd be so upset."Serena still did not have much energy.She played a bit; then, her eyes began to droop sleepily."Let's step outside."They all crept out quietly.Back in her ro
Taking these flowers with them was not easy at all.At first, Helma just picked a few and put them in airtight bags. However, as soon as they left the woods, the flowers started to wilt super fast.Andrew had seen plenty of weird stuff, yet the sight of the flowers dying and turning yellow so quickl
Building a lab here was way too hard; however, creating a small model of the place was doable.The idea was a good one.After a week, Helma managed to bring five plants back to the research center without a hitch.Meanwhile, Silver Obsidian was deeply engrossed in poring over ancient books.It seeme
Right after Helma finished talking, Silver Obsidian's legs buckled, and he fell to the floor."What happened to him?" Edward, scared, hurried over to help him up and gently placed him on the couch.Helma checked his eyes and saw they were red and swollen from being so tired."He needs rest. Let's ta
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
Helma had tried to get the scoop from Leon, but the guy was like Fort Knox—nothing useful ever slipped out. Therefore, she backed off from the matchmaking game. Still, she was not blind to Wendy's little crush, especially with errands like these document deliveries. "You got it, boss," Wendy replied
