Mike was surprised.
“As you said, even if I go over there, there is nothing I can do. He has his things to do, and I have mine. Since Professor Thompson is upstairs, he should be coming down soon. I’ll wait for him.” She turned and went downstairs.
The grin on his face faded and his expression became serious as he stared after her. Shaking his head, he let out an almost inaudible sigh.
Lily was indeed worried about Alexander, but she also knew it was of no use. Besides, she had a lot of work to do.
Her son needed her, and if both of his parents were away, he most likely would not get used to it and would become scared.
Entering the lab, Lily did not experiment. Instead, she sat down before the laptop to start sorting and compiling the data, starting with the ones she had gathered from her first experiment.
She had sorted the data before, but it was a bit messy as she had done it separately for several groups. Now that she had put everything together, she saw that her most recent guess was right.
‘We can’t continue studying these poisonous plants. At the very least, we shouldn't include them in this test.’
Thompson arrived as she was sorting the data. Mike had seemingly told him about it, and he went straight to her. “Lily, were you looking for me?”
“Professor Thompson.” Removing her goggles, Lily turned around and looked at him thoughtfully. “About wilfordi roots and other poisonous herbs-”
“You’re no longer in charge of them, so don’t worry.” Cutting her off, Thompson said, “Just sort out the data you have, and you can go home and rest.”
