After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 98

She played the video of her experiment. The mice went from being abnormally hyperactive to gradually calming down after being injected with the drug. Every single one of them.

Aria felt a dull, dragging pain in her lower abdomen, but she gritted her teeth and continued.

"Therefore, I am certain that this drug is addictive. After three months, the mice's nervous systems were completely disordered. If this drug is produced, the user's nervous system will end up just like the mice. The research is not a success!"

In the audience, Lilith's eyes widened in horror.

Her face was as white as a sheet.

The mice in the video were exactly like she was now!

That meant in three months, she could… suffer from a complete neurological breakdown!

"Impossible! You're slandering me! There's nothing wrong with my trials!"

Hazel broke free and shoved Aria hard. "You're framing me! You're just jealous that I was able to develop the drug!"

Aria, distracted by the intensifying pain in her abdomen, didn't see Hazel coming and was pushed off balance.

"Enough!" Alden Reaves' voice boomed with authority. "Aria's research is sound. This is your mistake, and you refuse to admit it. As of today, you are no longer a part of Flourish Dominion!"

"Your approach to scientific problems is to take shortcuts, completely lacking the patience and sense of responsibility required for research. You are not fit to be a researcher!"

Hazel sank to the floor, stunned by Alden's words.

He was a titan in the research community. A declaration like that from Alden Reaves meant she was effectively blacklisted from the industry. No one would dare hire her again.

Lilith had never imagined that the drug meant to save her would be the one to destroy her.

Her vision went black, and she fainted.

"Lilith! Lilith!"

Gideon immediately scooped Lilith into his arms, not sparing a single glance for Aria, who had also been pushed to the ground and was just as pale.

He showed not an ounce of concern for her.

The scene was chaos. Aria forced herself to slowly get back on her feet.

Fortunately, the conference was being held in a hospital.
