Chapter 978: 278: Retribution Arrives! _3
Kevin then asked, “What’s the name of Viola’s lab?”
“Just a single English Letter S.”
Having understood Sinian culture, Kevin naturally knew that ‘S’ was the initial of Viola’s surname.
Sinian people value family values highly.
They pay even more attention to blood relations.
Viola using the initial of her own surname to name her laboratory indicated her extreme confidence in herself.
Regrettably.
Viola ended up being too clever for her own good.
In the Sinian language, there’s a saying, ‘wisdom to the extreme brings harm at the end.’
Viola was a classic case of this.
During the College Entrance Examination, she was the national topper.
When she came to Capital University for the preliminary examination, she was again at the top.
She was blinded by her status of being the ‘topper.’
She foolishly assumed that she could come first in everything.
Actually.
It was simply out of this world.
Milly then asked, “Senior Kevin, was it that period when I was not there? I heard from others that ever since Viola joined our lab, she never came back, is that right?”
Because Viola never came to the lab to conduct experiments with everyone else, everyone had complaints about Viola, debating that she was purposely slacking off.
Who would want to work when they could just talk?
But the reason Viola didn’t come was because she was busy analyzing data in her dorm room.
She often stayed awake until late.
“Yeah,” Kevin nodded, “If Viola had conducted experiments with us, she wouldn’t have signed that contract!”
Since she did not participate in any experiments from beginning to end, she did not know how difficult this experiment was.
To say nothing of nurturing artificial retinas, even with the ‘B’ plan made by Viola, finishing the experiment would pose a problem.
Kevin then asked, “How many current members are there in the S lab?”
“One.” Milly couldn’t help but laugh, “And that member is Viola herself. Isn’t that hilarious?”
Today’s Viola had, beyond doubt, become the butt of jokes at Capital University.
Kevin coldly humphed.
“As expected.”
Capital University is full of talent; anyone picked from the crowd is a recipient of an international award.
In front of them, what does Viola count for?
She could not even compare to their little finger.
So, nobody would ever apply to join Viola’s lab.
Although Viola was quite attractive and had many fans at Capital University, people conduct experiments to achieve fame and win awards. Other than being the butt of jokes, following Viola would gain them nothing. Naturally, they would not waste their time with Viola.
The S Lab.
The university president specifically vacated a lab for Viola.
The lab, located in a corner of the campus, was not large, neither was it conveniently located. Not many people visited it anyway.
At the moment, Viola was busily working in her germ-resistant suit at her lab table.
Ding Dong–
A doorbell rang inside the lab.
Viola set her work aside, changed out of her suit, and went to the outer room to answer the door.
The door opened.
It was Mila who came.
“Viola.”
Upon seeing her visitor, Viola expressed some surprise, “Mila, how come you are here?”
Mila laughed, “I heard your lab is recruiting members, so I came to try.”
“You?” Viola looked at Mila, “But didn’t you already join the KIM Lab?”
“I quit! Their experiments are so boring, Viola, I heard you are going to carry out the Sight Restorer Plan, right?”
“Yes.”
Viola faintly nodded.
This experiment had been conducted at Capital University before by Professor Edward Bankston with his students. Back then, Sylvia Thompson was one of the members. They were never able to nurture proper living cells. Upon referral, they found Viola. Even though under her guidance the cells were able to survive, they ran into new problems thereafter.
If an experiment repeatedly encountered problems, it showed there were inherent issues with the experiment itself. Left with no choice, Edward Bankston had to stop his students from continuing the experiment.
Mila continued, “My mother is blind, so, I want to work with you.”
For those who are blind, their world is an absolute void. They crave light more than anyone else.
Mila wanted her mother to at least see what she looked like before departing this world.
Viola helplessly shrugged, “Mila, you’ve seen my setup here.”
“No problem,” Mila said, “Viola, I just want to work with you. At least, I can say I’ve tried something for my mother. As long as I’ve tried, when I look back at this experience in the future, I won’t have any regrets.”
“Alright.” Viola gave a faint nod, “You can come to my office with me.”
