Genevieve looked at Nyla. "Have you gained anything in the lab these days?"

*I've observed that the current focus in the lab is

on developing drugs for cardiovascular diseases. The progress of drug development is about 50% complete, and we're preparing for the experimental stage using mice."

Upon hearing that, Genevieve's expression brightened slightly, and her gaze toward Nyla carried a hint of approval. "Well done. How about your learning progress with the lab equipment?" "It's coming along."

On the side, Lucia frowned at Nyla. "Nyla, I know you're eager to conduct experiments, but experiments are serious business. There are several instruments we

haven't used recently. How can you say you've almost learned them?"

Nyla commented flatly, "I've used these instruments during my university years."

"You said it yourself, that was years ago. You haven't been in a lab for quite some

"How do you know I haven't learned from scratch?"

Lucia bit her lip, disappointment evident as she looked at Nyla. "You've been doing menial tasks in the lab these days. How could you find time to learn? Don't lie just to impress Genevieve." Nyla smiled. "So you know too. With all the odd jobs assigned to me these days, I haven't had the chance to learn how to use the lab equipment."

Lucia froze, subconsciously digging her nails into her palms. She had underestimated Nyla!

"Nyla... Are you implying that I deliberately prevented you from learning how to use the equipment?"
