His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1298

With his colleagues' persuasion and Austin's approaching voice, Devon finally let go.

As soon as he released his grip, fresh air quickly rushed into Thompson's lungs. He gasped heavily as he clutched his chest. His legs felt weak. He barely held himself up, but he did not want to succumb to Devon.

"Professor Thompson, don't say I didn't warn you. Your time is running out! If this experiment fails, no matter how hardheaded you are, you can’t defend the fact that medicinal herbs are simply garbage!" Devon let out a snort and said, "Let's go!"

Several people walked out of the room, leaving Thompson alone.

Just as Austin was about to head downstairs after not finding anyone, he saw a figure coming out from the corner of the stairwell.

The figure was staggering, with one hand supporting the wall while the other was around their throat.

"Professor Thompson!" Austin recognized the silhouette at a glance and strode over. "I've been looking for you! I have something I want to discuss with you. I've looked through the experiment, and after careful consideration, I don't think it's impossible.

“What about this? You hand this experiment over to me, and I guarantee that I’ll finish it and that it will be better than how Lily would've done it. If she can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't."

Thompson was still recovering from being suffocated and trying to get his strength back. Austin sounded like chattering noises in the distance.

Once Thompson felt better, he stopped and turned to look at Austin with furrowed brows. "What did you say?"
