His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1846

“It’s not that I can’t tell you. I just… I’m not so sure either,” Mike said and pondered momentarily. After some time, he seemed to have decided something as he turned to look at Lily and continued, “You’ve seen the core of this research. Other research is ongoing at the same time as well.

“However, all the research is stuck in this same phase, which means you must complete not just one but a couple. Still, the boss said we should prioritize R10 if we can’t make it in time.”

After listening to him for so long, Lily finally heard the most critical thing. She instantly felt energetic again. “R10?”

“Yeah. All the research here is in numerical order. I’m sure you’ve noticed that from the documents you’ve browsed through. R10 is the most crucial research out of all of them.”

“Is R10 the one I’m doing now?” Lily asked after some thought.

“No.” Unexpectedly, Mike shook his head. “The one you’re working on right now is R13.”

Lily was even more surprised. “R13? Wait, aren’t they in numerical order? How did R13 start when R10 is still incomplete?”

Mike just nodded. He was as stunned as Lily when he first heard about this. “From what I know, there are R16, R17, and R18. I heard it’s already well over 20. It’s just that most experiments failed.”

“Most of them failed, so that means some were successful?” Lily caught the keyword and asked.

“Yes, but they’re slightly different from the experiments you’re doing.” Mike paused and looked at his watch. “We can’t delay this anymore. I’ll talk to you about this again when I find another opportunity. We’re only relatively safer out here because of the surveillance cameras and audio monitoring systems installed in the building.”

“I know that,” Lily said simply, “I even know where they are.”

Mike was stunned but soon remembered that Lily and Alexander were experts in this field. However, he still worriedly reminded her, “Even so, there might still be some you’ve missed. It’s still better to be careful.”

“Yeah.” Mike was right, so Lily nodded in agreement.
