With that, Anastasia turned around and left. After walking two steps, she suddenly turned back and looked at Lily. "By the way, I have a birthday party next week. Please come with Mr. Russell!"

Anastasia beamed and finally left.

The Institute of Medicinal Herbs had a laboratory that had just been renovated and cleared out for their new project, Blossom.
Inside, everyone seemed busy at work with solemn yet nervous faces. The numbers on the computers were beeping, and the reagents in the test tubes were being extracted little by little.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The room was silent, with only the soft beeps from the computer and the trickling of the reagent from the test tubes echoing in the air.
There were three test tubes placed on the experimental table. Once the timer on the computer reached zero, the extraction was deemed complete.
However, everyone did not relax. Instead, they tensed up even more. They were about to find the result, but no one could guarantee it would succeed.
Two older men stepped forward, put on their glasses, and went up to analyze the end product carefully. Then they slowly dipped a test strip into one of the test tubes and sniffed it. Their faces remained stoic with slightly scrunched-up eyebrows.
A few moments later…
"Achoo! Achoo!"
The two shook their heads repeatedly, and their faces dropped.
