Chapter 325

“Miss Berry, Mr. Phoenix and Mr. Foster said that the core of your hospital is pharmaceutical development and medical equipment research. Do you plan to develop gene drugs?” A pharmaceutical researcher in the industry seized the opportunity to ask.

Although gene drugs were harmful and have been unsuccessful, they also had their successes. If the flaws could be improved, their future was limitless.

Just the thought of it was enough to get one’s adrenaline pumping.

As soon as the question was asked, the room fell silent. All eyes were on Lea.

She replied without changing her expression, “Of course.”

The reaction was immediate and explosive.

The entire place was in an uproar. She actually dared to study the gene drugs and even dared to say it in public. She must have been crazy.

Even Lorrand and Chris looked at her in surprise.

The reporters sent by Jonah were also anxious. They were afraid she would get herself into trouble by saying this.

Their boss had said that she had to build a good reputation.

Lea leaned forward and sat up straighter. Her posture was upright, and her clear eyes sparkled with confidence and determination. She continued, “But the gene drugs we develop will have no flaws.”

The room erupted once more, but they looked at her with contempt.

It was clear that people thought she was still too inexperienced and her claims were overly ambitious.

“Miss Berry, why are you so sure?” the questioner immediately asked. “Both Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Reed are prominent figures in medical research. Despite their extensive knowledge and resources, even they haven’t succeeded. What makes you think you can? Research will inevitably involve failures. Gene drugs like these are no exception.”

Many present were not in the medical field or pharmaceutical research, but they still grasped the logic and shared the same doubts.

Lea smiled slightly. “You might not know us well, but our research utilizes intelligent technology from an artificial brain.”

She continued, “We can model all the drugs we develop. Once successful, we’ll conduct physical trials. Products with defects and side effects will also be produced and used legally under the supervision of state regulatory authorities. So, no hazardous drugs will be released.”

The questioner was momentarily speechless.

However, no one believed what she said, thinking she was just att ng attention.

The others did not have any doubts, but because of Lea’s arrogant words, their favorable impression of her faded a little.

The discussion online became even more intense.

“Lea is incredibly arrogant.”

“Yes, she dares to make such bold claims when even Mr. Reed and others haven’t succeeded.”

“She probably doesn’t know what gene drugs are. This is not something their hospital’s new medicine can compare to.”

“She’s just a freshman; ignorance can lead to such arrogance.”

“As expected, the ignorant are fearless.”

Yet, there were other voices too.

“I don’t think so. She’s so confident and impressive. She’s so beautiful!”

“Young people should be this bold and fearless.”

“Youngsters should be like this!”

The intense dispute between the two sides directly made her a trending topic.

At the press conference venue, things wrapped up quickly. Chris stayed behind to handle the details, while Lorrand went back to his work.

Chapter 325

Lea headed to the laboratory to look for Trenton and Charles. They were researching Yannis’s case and they already had some ideas to develop the appropriate drugs to neutralize the side effects of gene drugs.

Simply put, it was the antidote to the gene drugs.

Lorrand went to Quintin’s ward for a check–up.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard Paul reporting to Quintin and his wife.

“Miss Yancey has only her morning class today and has returned from school. She’s currently working in her office. Should I invite her to dinner tonight?”

The couple had been attempting to improve their relationship with Shannon but faced repeated rejections and had been stopped by hospital security.

They also sensed her reluctance towards them.

Although Quintin’s condition had improved, it was still very difficult for him to recover. He still needed a bone marrow donation from her,

Considering her ties with Lea and Riverview Hospital’s future, her potential was vast.

They needed to settle their relationship carefully.

Jessie looked at her husband, worried that Paul’s attempt might be rejected again, worsening their relationship. She took this matter very seriously

and had to listen to him.

Quintin leaned against the head of the bed and clenched his hands on the blanket, thinking about how he could please his daughter.

Lorrand walked straight in. “Mr. and Mrs. Moore, I’d like to discuss Shannon with you.”

The couple was momentarily surprised but quickly became respectful and polite.

They had investigated Shannon’s background and knew she had strong connections with hospital leaders, including Lorrand.

He might be able to help them.

Jessie instructed Paul to bring the nurse and medical staff out of the ward and close the door, leaving her and Quintin with Lorrand alone.

Lorrand said, “Actually, Shannon is very concerned about your condition. When you first looked for her, she asked the hospital about your condition.”

Of course, this was not true. This was a fabrication meant to elevate Shannon’s status in their eyes.

“Miss Berry only accepted you to our hospital because of her sake. You should understand that this kind of treatment not only takes up a lot of our hospital’s manpower and resources, but it’s also very risky. Our hospital is new and in a period of expansion. This is a crucial time for growth.”

The couple understood what he meant and their faces darkened.

These were all what they owed Shannon.

Seeing that they understood, Lorrand continued, “You may not know much about Shannon’s past, but her adoptive mother’s actions destroyed all her hopes for her biological parents and left her with severe emotional scars. Moreover, she is now an adult, very independent and outstanding. So, if you want to acknowledge her, you must at least earn her trust and show her that you are good parents.”

Quintin immediately responded, “Of course, of course. It’s our failure as parents. Thank you, Mr. Phoenix.”

He appeared refined and cultured, accepting the blame himself.

Jessie also said straightforwardly, “It’s my negligence. I’ll think of a way to have a good talk with her. Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Phoenix.”

Lorrand then turned to his job. “Mr. Moore, your condition is relatively stable now. As for your heart function, we’ll need to wait until our smart pacemaker is available to resolve it. We will contact you as soon as the pacemaker is ready. You can be discharged now.”
