His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1256

The first two types were to make someone sink into a deep sleep and make someone excited, respectively, so Alexander guessed that the third kind should have an effect in the middle of the spectrum.

That was only his guess, to which Lily shook her head decisively. “No! You won’t be able to guess it. The third kind is poison.”

“Poi-” Alexander's eyes grew wider as he tilted his head to look at her, unable to joke about it. “Didn’t you say the experiment was to create something that would save lives, lessen the patient’s pain, and expose the public to the benefits of medicinal herbs?”

“That’s what they said, but they also said that poison is a type of medication.”

“Nonsense!” Alexander was furious. ‘What’s all that cr*p they’re talking about?’

Lily chuckled. “Not entirely. Some medicinal herbs are poisonous, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be used to treat illnesses. If it’s used correctly, it’ll be able to save lives as well. We’re trying to add a medicinal herb with poisonous properties to the fragrances. The idea is to completely cover up the smell of the herb to the point where consumers won’t even detect it. I just feel uncomfortable about this idea.”

“Anyone would feel the same as you! It’ll be great if it can save someone’s life, but what if it’s used to harm other people? This invention will turn out to be an invisible weapon.”

When Lily mentioned that the institute's project had some problems and that she wanted to stop it because she felt that something was off, he just listened to her and respected her opinions. However, he did not expect this to be what the experiment was truly about!

Although he was no expert in the field, the idea sounded dangerous.

“No, the experiment has to stop! I’m going to withdraw my investment immediately!”
