Chapter 525
These were probably the same questions Sheldon had on his mind.
Elizabeth figured Sheldon was more eager than anyone to know when this special drug would be ready.
“Ms. Percy, there are so many flowers being delivered to you outside You really have a lot of charm!‘ the person in charge joked.
Elizabeth chuckled and asked, “Who are they from? I haven’t had a chance to check them out.”
“Well, there’s a bunch from the big star Lila, Kieran, Mr. Shawn, and your family. The big surprise is… the person said, eyes gleaming with envy, “even Base M sent you flowers?”
Elizabeth was a bit taken aback and thought Felix must’ve used Base M’s name to back her up again.
“Really? Base M?” Elizabeth tried to keep her cool.
The person nodded eagerly. “Yes, Ms. Percy. Do you know Base M? Have you met M? This person is so mysterious, never showing up all these years. Sometimes I even wonder if this is a real person or a fictional one,” the person in charge said.
Elizabeth didn’t respond. ‘Of course, it’s a real person. It’s just that over the years, she was blinded by love and got involved in a relationship, Elizabeth thought. She realized that women should focus on their careers! Love would only lead to their downfall!
“However, there are a few very expensive bouquets without any signatures. We don’t know who they are for or who sent them, the person in charge added.
Elizabeth just listened. She got a message from Lila on her phone.
Lila: [Almost there; see you soon.]
Elizabeth, surprised: [You’re done filming?]
Lila: [I took a day off to support you.] Her friend was doing something big; she would definitely come to show support.
-Soon, the host began to warm up the crowd. “Welcome everyone, please take your seats. Our ceremony will start in five minutes!”
The room quieted down a bit as everyone began to take their seats. The screen on the stage started showing images of the research. Then, Sheldon went on stage to speak.
Sheldon on stage was very official, different from the Sheldon off stage. Everyone listened intently.
“Alright, next let’s welcome Elizabeth!” The host gestured to one side. All eyes
turned to the stage where Elizabeth slowly walked up.
Today, Elizabeth was wearing a white blazer and black pants, a look that was casual yet a bit cool. She bowed to the audience and greeted, “Hello everyone, I’m Elizabeth. It’s an honor to see you all.”
The reporters below immediately became restless, wanting to ask about Celine first. The Percy Family had protected Celine very well. Since Celine’s accident, no one had been able to see her or interview her.
“Ms. Percy, could you now introduce the drug the research institute
developing?” The host began to follow the event’s agenda.
Elizabeth nodded and quickly got into her professional mode. She opened her file and introduced, “Next, I will introduce our research project and current progress. The drug currently being researched by the institute is SH2N.”
Elizabeth looked at the audience. Everyone focused intently
on her, suddenly noticing a different aura about her.

She spoke up. “SHZN is a special drug targeting brain death and vegetative states. Ten years ago, my grandma organized this team to develop this drug. She spent every day in the lab, dedicating everything to this cause. Unfortunately, there was little progress.”
‘Regrettably, she suffered a minor injury in a chain car accident. Due to her physical condition, our family suggested she withdraw from this research. But my grandma, having worked so hard for so many years, couldn’t let go. So, I decided to take over her responsibilities.”
Elizabeth looked at the many reporters below and said seriously, I believe that one day, SH2N will save those families who are currently in darkness, despair, or brokenness. Please give us time, and please believe in us.”
