Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 622

After a relentless month and 23 days, spending a whopping sixteen million dollars, the fully automated lab with two sets of biosafety systems was finally completed, just as the third snowfall of the winter ceased.

Halley, with his startup team in tow, conducted the final checks on the lab's smart system.

Meanwhile, an array of experimental instruments, procured through Corley's tech company's international channels, began to arrive on site.

Mamie and Scales were swamped these past few days.

Besides getting acquainted with the operation of the smart system alongside Halley, they had to inventory the arriving instruments and arrange the spatial layout.

From the placement of lab benches to the positioning of the water cooler.

They took charge of everything themselves, sparing no detail.

Aside from attending classes, eating, and sleeping, nearly all their time was spent here.

The Dixon family—

“Caley’s heading out again?”

“Yes, grandma!”

“But it’s Saturday, no classes. Why are you always running about? Could it be… you’ve got a girlfriend?!” The old lady’s eyes sparkled with curiosity at her last question.

“No!”

“Then what's the rush?”

“I’m off to do something big! Bye for now, grandma—” With that, he grabbed his backpack, wrapped his scarf tightly around him, and strode out the door.

The grandmother was skeptical, “Kids these days, always thinking they have big things to do.”

The grandfather, sitting on the sofa enjoying his tea and newspaper, just smiled subtly, a look of mysterious understanding on his face.

As Scales made his way to the lab, Mamie also hopped into a taxi.

“Driver, to the East Suburb, please!”

“That area’s all construction sites. What’s a young lady like you going there for?”

Mamie’s expression turned serious, and she replied with emphasis, “To do something big.”

Along the way, she received a call from Duke—

“Hey, Duke! What’s up?”

“You’ve been so quiet lately! Dad’s been missing you.”

“I miss you too! Muah! Muah!”
