He did not say anything.Helma said, "I gave you my card with the papers. I don't know what's wrong, but I can help. Call me if you need to."Then she walked away.By chance, Tisha's room was on the same floor, yet it was a fancy room on the other side.Tisha's new home was right by Greenville Unive
Alan had passed away from late-stage stomach cancer, and Helma could not stop thinking about it.She was just getting ready to dive into her medical files when a loud ruckus came from the hallway.It sounded like someone was being hurried into the emergency room in a big mess.Helma got up and went

The addition of Blofish made growing Starlight Blossom a breeze.This was only the beginning.Now that they knew Starlight Blossom could be grown by hand, they needed to grow lots of it for the next step in their project.The Guller Group had a client who leased farmland, and he took Chandler and An
Helma noticed someone looking tired in a quiet corner.She walked over with two glasses of champagne. "That last experiment must be tough, huh? You look so tired and grumpy."Leon forced a smile, trying to seem less cold. "I'm managing."The champagne felt cool as it went down, giving him a slight b
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
