Not far away, several doctors were sitting in chairs, asleep.
The laboratory was silent.
Paige looked around, not waking them up, and turned to a main screen, which kept scrolling through various data and proper nouns.
She pulled a chair over, sat with her arms folded and watched.
Many of the terms were not in her knowledge domain, and she couldn’t understand them very well, but sitting here watching, she felt inexplicably at ease.
Suddenly, a red word popped up on the screen, flashing a few times like an alert.
It was an unknown discovery.
The sound system made a dripping sound to notify her.
Paige’s gaze hardened, and she immediately stood up from her chair, walked up to the main screen, and tapped a few times on the keyboard to bring up more content.
This was an analysis of the dead tree snowflake, which had analyzed various ingredients.
One of them is an unknown ingredient.
Several doctors and researchers on the side slowly woke up when they heard the sound. When they saw someone standing in front of the main screen, they were shocked. They immediately stood up, “Young lady!”
resounding and powerful.
“What’s the noise? Can you be quiet in the morning and disturb my sleep…”
Dr. Clinton, who was in the center, was awakened by this chorus of shouts, and yawned irritably as he stretched.
Before he could finish shouting, his eyes fell on Paige, who looked at him coolly through her goggles.
Dr. Clinton instantly wilted and hurriedly straightened up, “Miss!”
“Hm,” Paige nodded indifferently, knowing that they had been up all night here, and only rested when they couldn’t hold on anymore. Without any blame, she just said, “Come and take a look.”
Dr. Clinton came to his senses and quickly walked over to her. He looked at the ingredient analysis on the main screen and his breathing tightened. “This is the most advanced ingredient analysis instrument in the world right now, and it can currently analyze even the most minute certified ingredients.”
The implication of this statement…
“In other words, there are special ingredients in Ku Mu Xue Li that have not yet been seen in the world.”
Paige was not too surprised. If the ingredients of dead wood and snow and forgotten fruit were everywhere, then the Davis family would not have been affected by the AS schizophrenia gene for so many generations.
Since the Medicine Curse Sect’s book of exorcisms had such a treatment method, it must be special.
Dr. Clinton widened his eyes and looked on with some excitement, “Could it be that this ingredient is the key to curing AS schizophrenia gene? If so, could it be that all people with hereditary mental illness can be cured?”
If he can figure this out, he’ll be great, and it’ll be a feat for the history books!
His name and picture will have to be printed in textbooks all over the world in the future!
Paige gave him a sideways glance, “You’re thinking so far ahead just because you discovered an unknown ingredient, so should I congratulate you in advance?”
“…” Dr. Clinton silently dispelled his fantasies, looked seriously at the main screen, and then sighed, “It’s a pity.”
“What’s a pity?” Paige asked from where she stood.
“It’s a pity that the tree has been cut down, because I can’t continue my research,”
said Dr. Clinton with a sigh. He had only taken some fresh flowers and fruits from the tree for research and medicine, which was not enough for experiments.
Finally, he asked, ‘Miss, can the tree be planted again?’
The tree had been cut down, and he had originally wanted to replant it in a pot and take it with him, but Paige had rejected his proposal and insisted that it be planted on Wind Island and guarded by someone.
On hearing this, Paige’s eyes deepened as she stood in front of the screen.
The book of the dead clearly states that a dead tree does not bear fruit, but is born to last forever. It is extremely difficult to shape a seedling, and once it is shaped, it is extremely difficult for it to die.
This is true. If a dead tree was easy to survive, there would not be only one left on Wind Island.
She did not take the tree with her because she was afraid that the soil outside was different from Wind Island’s and would instead accelerate the tree’s death.
But can a dead tree with broken roots survive on Wind Island…
“I don’t know,” Paige said.
“…”
Dr. Clinton’s eyes were full of disappointment.
“Regardless of the follow-up research, let’s make Enrico’s share of the medicine for now,”
Paige said. The most urgent thing right now is not anything else, but Enrico’s illness. She can’t let him die lonely like the elder of the Davis family.
“We have already started to make the medicine as you instructed, but there will only be a few pills,” Dr. Clinton frowned.
Upon hearing this, Paige’s hand next to her body unconsciously tightened.
She understood Dr. Clinton’s concerns, but whenever a new medicine came out, it could not be directly used on patients. It had to go through rounds of experiments, including animal testing. However, there were too few pills, so there would be no way for Enrico to use them.
This was a big gamble.
Paige looked at the ingredient analysis on the screen and her hands tightened.
After a while, she opened her lips and issued an order, “Then let’s gamble.”
Gamble that the Davis family wouldn’t find useless fruits and dead wood for no reason;
gamble that any drug listed in the desperate book must have had a cure before;
gamble that… Enrico can live.
“Yes,” Dr. Clinton straightened up a little.
Paige withdrew her gaze, asked some more professional questions, and left the laboratory.
She took off her goggles and protective suit and walked out the first door. Outside, Kevin was leaning against a pillar, looking down at his phone, as if he had been standing there for a long time.
“Waiting for me?” Paige asked.
Kevin looked up, put his phone away and smiled at her. “Alfredo said you were here, so I waited.”
“Something wrong?” Paige asked.
“Breakfast is ready in the dining room. Shall we go together? We can talk while walking?” Kevin suggested.
“Okay,” Paige nodded and walked forward with him.
“There are some things I need to take care of at the border, so I won’t go to The Capital with you,” Kevin said, looking at her clear-eyed face.
Paige nodded again, “Okay, thank you for this time.”
Kevin had contributed to the fact that things had gone so smoothly this time.
“It’s nothing. But you…” Kevin paused, even stopping in his tracks, and looked at Paige with deep eyes, “Do you want to stop at the border?”
Upon hearing this, Paige’s steps also stopped, and she stood in front of Kevin, pursing her lips, “I originally wanted to stop, but now I’ve changed my mind.”
“Why?” Kevin frowned.
“I don’t know if the withered tree can survive, and I’m afraid that the medicine made from it will only be a few pills,” Paige said honestly, ‘so now is not the time.’
She must wait until a good time to go to the border.
“Are you worried…” Kevin was about to speak when Paige looked up at him, and he stopped. He just said, ‘Are you really not going? Can you bear to do it? Are you willing to give it up?’
Paige’s gaze darkened, and she fell silent, her face turning slightly pale.
Seeing her like this, Kevin couldn’t bear to say anything more, “Forget it, if you’re not going, then don’t go, everything will be fine anyway.”
“Thank you,” Paige said sincerely, looking up at Kevin with a grateful smile.
“What are you two chatting about, so happily?” A cold voice suddenly came from somewhere.
