Layla’s lack of interest was obvious, and Arthur couldn’t help but feel disheartened.
Thus, Millie could only help her grandfather. She chimed in, “Grandma, it’s a rare herb, you know.”
Upon hearing those words, Layla narrowed her eyes. A herb? If it was an herb, then she was definitely interested.
Arthur sighed and commented, “See that, Mills? Your grandmother is more interested in herbs than anything else. Even more than me!”
Millie chuckled as she grabbed a bag of chips.
The moment Layla learned that it was an herb, she began carefully unwrapping the box/She slowly peeled away the layers of wrapping. As soon as the box opened and the Aspher came into view, her eyes lit up with joy.
Layla looked up at Millie, then at Arthur. She was so overwhelmed with excitement that she struggled to find the words.
Was it Aspher? Did Millie and Arthur really get her the rare herb?
“Is this really Aspher?” Layla asked in disbelief.
Millie nodded firmly. That was indeed Aspher.
“Grandpa asked me to help him find it ages ago, and I just found it recently. I guess luck was on my side,” Millie patiently explained to Layla, munching on her chips.
Layla nodded with satisfaction. “Mills, you’ve done me a huge favor.”
However, Millie was puzzled. What did Layla mean by that?
“How come Mills is getting all the credit? I helped too! I’m the one who asked her to find the Aspher!” Arthur huffed, subtly fishing for Layla’s praise.
Layla took his hand and nodded earnestly. “Yes, dear, you’ve been a great help too!”
She then rose to her feet. “I’m taking the Aspher to the lab right now! Our research will finally make a breakthrough with this,” she announced. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
They hadn’t made any breakthroughs all these years because they couldn’t find any Aspher.

“You’re leaving already?” Arthur’s expression betrayed his disappointment.
But Layla ignored him. Instead, she turned to Millie and asked, “Mills, would you like to check out the lab?”
“Is that okay?” Millie was genuinely curious about the research lab.
Layla nodded. “Of course! You helped us find the Aspher, so you’re our hero!”
Arthur was displeased. After all, he was the one who asked Millie to find the herb. In the end, Millie left Arthur behind and followed Layla to the lab. With a heavy sigh, he slumped onto the couch and stared at the empty living room.
At Nova Research Base, Layla changed into a lab coat and handed one to Millie as well. After scanning her fingerprint, the door slid open. An Al system on the right welcomed Layla back.
Millie trailed behind Layla. As soon as they entered, Millie found herself surrounded by experts in lab coats.
Layla had mentioned that only the most talented individuals in the field worked there, and getting in was no easy feat. Moreover, the research was demanding and required continuous effort until it was completed.
Millie glanced around, her curiosity piqued.
“Hello, Professor Cadmore!”
Several people greeted Layla respectfully. She nodded in acknowledgment, her demeanor warm and friendly.
Just as they were about to reach the research lab, someone called out from behind,” Professor Cadmore.”
Layla turned to see a beautiful female researcher in her 30s.
“The deadline for our research is approaching. Given the lack of progress over the years, should we continue?” the researcher asked.
