“Someone has changed something here…” Martin fell into deep thought when he saw the note. “I
changed it.”Nicole calmly explained it to him.
“You did?” Martin looked at Nicole before turning his gaze onto the note.
“Brilliant Just brilliant! Why didn’t I think of this!”
“I’ll head off first, Nicole. I’ll come back again later.” The flames in Martin came back alive as he could
not wait to go back to the lab and test it out, according to the note amended by Nicole.
A few hours later, the excited voice of someone in the corridor got closer and closer
The next moment, a figure rushed into Nicole’s room and hugged her tightly at lightning speed
“Nicole! It worked! It worked!” Martin yelled in excitement. At this moment, the person he wanted to
share the good news with was Nicole.
“Let me go first.” Nicole was close to suffocating
“Oh, my bad. I got too excited.” Having realized what he was doing, he immediately let Nicole go.
“Nicole, you’re literally brilliant! I just gave the amended note a test, and it actually worked?!”
“I never thought that the experiment that I have been cracking my head over hundreds of times would
succeed the moment I meet you. You are my lucky star, Nicole!” In Martin’s eyes, Nicole was dazzling
bright
Compared to Martin, Nicole was much, much calmer. “You’re your own lucky star. This is the fruit of
your labor, the result of your toil.”
“No, no, the success of the experiment has everything to do with you.”
Nicole did not try denying him anymore. She knew that Martin was still at the excitement stage of
success. He had, after all, been under pressure for so long and needed to release it.
“Nicole, since you can get off the bed now, let’s go out to celebrate for a bit. Oh right, I need to go back
to the lab for a while. I’ll come and get you right away. Wait for me!” Martin did not give Nicole any room
to refuse him as he immediately left for the lab after saying all that.
Nicole looked on helplessly at Martin’s back as she shook her head. Since things had already
proceeded to this stage, it would not do for her to break Martin’s excitement. She simply packed up and
put on simple makeup. After all, she had been too carefree in her days in the hospital.
Yet, Joyce had witnessed everything happening inside the room. Her hands under her furious face had
turned pale from clenching.
At the lab entrance, just as Martin stepped out of it, he ran into Joyce with an unhappy face,
“I’m heading out for a bit. Go and get the wrap-up report for the latter section done.” Martin handed
over the wrapping-up work to Joyce.
Are you going out with Nicole?” Joyce’s mind was clouded, and she did not even listen to what Martin
had just said as she asked him.
“Yeah, so finish up the wrapping up job, okay?” Martin did not hide it as he reminded her.
“I want to go too.”
“Huh? What for? There’s plenty of things that require you to wrap up.” Martin glared at her, not wanting
Joyce to interrupt his celebration with Nicole.
Joyce’s gaze turned bitter. “All these while I’ve been helping you with everything, and now that the
experiment is successful, you’re celebrating it with someone else?”
“I’ve given my all for this experiment, so why I don’t have a place in this celebration?” Joyce stepped
forward and blocked Martin’s path as she questioned him.
“I’ll admit that you’ve contributed much to this experiment, but who didn’t? I’m just going out to relax
now. We’ll hold a celebration party later, and I’ll be sure to invite you then, so please stand aside.”
Martin said as he walked around Joyce towards Nicole’s wardroom.
Joyce could not believe what Martin had just said as she stood there stunned, looking at his departing
figure. She then went straight into the lab, hissing, “Martin, you forced my hand.”
