Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 446

“So you want to think of a way to remove the base they fused with before?” Simon asked.

“No.” Marina shook her head.

“Such fused genes would have long fused into every cell in the body. We can’t remove them.

“It’s precisely because this is an irreversible experiment that it’s listed on the prohibited experiment list by the major medical organizations.”

“What do you want to do now, then?” Simon asked.

“We have to suppress the mutation of the new gene. The best thing to do is to put it into a state of hibernation.

“As long as it enters a dormant state, it won’t affect the human body too much.

“But this process is really difficult, and I don’t have much experimental data now.

“Peter’s physical condition isn’t very stable either, so I can’t keep conducting experiments.

“But if the gene–suppressing drug can’t be developed soon, the new genes will quickly invade the original genes in Peter’s body.

The more time passes, the more obvious the effects of the new genes will be.

“It will be more difficult to deal with it later. It may even completely change Peter’s human genes.

“When that time comes, even I don’t know what kind of changes will happen to Peter.”

This was why Marina was not in a hurry to move ahead with the experiment.

Every day that was delayed, Peter would experience more unforeseen changes.

“Therefore, the most important thing we need now is an experimental subject to provide you with more experimental data.” Simon was very smart.

Simon had quickly found the most crucial point in Marina’s words.

“Yes, but anything can happen during the experiment. I can’t use the lives of innocent people as experiments. That way, I’ll be no different from those heartless experimenters.”

Marina had saved some test subjects before, and Lee had already helped them to settle in.

They could be able to offer useful help to Marina.

However, these subjects had been locked up in the laboratory for a long time, and their bodies and minds had been tortured.

If they continued throwing themselves into the experiment, it would cause significant mental and physical damage to them.

Marina could not do such a thing.

Simon could not help but frown after hearing this.

This was indeed a problem.

Could they put aside their morals and convictions and do such heinous things to innocent people for the sake of someone they loved?

“Do the experiment on me. Just as Marina and Simon were in a dilemma, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from the door.

They looked up and saw Sharon standing at the door.

“Why are you here?” Marina could not help but look surprised when she saw Sharon.

“I heard from Lee that your research has not made any progress because of the lack of experimental data. So, I asked him to bring me here,” Sharon explained.

Marina was about to speak, but Sharon beat her to it.

“Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. Listen to my explanation first.”

Marina looked at Sharon for a moment and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

“I’m also an experimental subject. Besides, my physical and mental condition is better than the other subjects.

“If you experiment on me, I can give you the most accurate feedback. This is something that the other subjects can’t do.

“More importantly, I’m willing to do this so you can do any experiment on me.” Sharon’s eyes were filled with determination.

“No.” Marina directly rejected Sharon’s suggestion.

Why? Isn’t this what you need the most right now?” Sharon frowned.

“Yes, I need experimental data, but I can’t experiment on you.

“Lambert cares a lot about you, and we finally managed to save you. I can’t do that to you.” Marina could not bear to do anything to innocent people. How could she do such a cruel thing to Sharon?

“But this is why I agreed to be your experimental subject!” Sharon couldn’t help but raise her tone.

Marina’s expression flickered.

“Lambert is the person I love the most in the world, and Peter is his family. I just want to do something for the person I love.” Sharon’s eyes were unwavering.

However, Marina did not relent.

“Marina, just do it. I have no way to repay your brother’s kindness to me. I only hope that I can do more for him now.

“I’ve always felt I’m an unlucky person, and I’ll only bring misfortune to the people around me.

“But now, this unlucky body of mine still has a positive use. Why won’t you let me step forward?” Sharon’s eyes were filled with a pleading look.

“But… Due to the lack of experimental data, I can’t guarantee you won’t be harmed during the experiment,” Marina lowered

her voice.

“It’s alright. I’m already used to that kind of pain,” Sharon replied immediately after hearing what Marina had to say.

It was as if Sharon was afraid that Marina would reject her.

Marina stared at Sharon for a moment.

In the end, Marina gave in to Sharon’s request.

It wasn’t just because Marina was moved by Sharon’s sincerity.

It was also because Marina had no other choice.

From that day on, Sharon remained in the laboratory.

That night, Marina was preparing to carry out their first experiment.

Sharon lay on the narrow experiment table, staring at the white light above her.

Sharon’s body trembled involuntarily.

Sharon, however, did not even notice that her body was doing it, and Marina’s gaze instantly darkened.

Sharon’s body was giving off a natural reaction.

From this, it could be seen how much pain Sharon had suffered on the experiment table before, which was why she was trembling uncontrollably.

“This experiment might be a little painful. If it’s too much, you have to tell me. Don’t take it head–on, understand?” Marina’s voice became much gentler.

“Let’s do it.” Sharon slowly closed her eyes.

Marina was silent for a moment before injecting the medicine in the syringe into Sharon.

This was a suppressant that Marina had just developed.

It was also the most effective one so far.

However, they still had to do experiments on the human body to know its final effect.
