Chapter 182 Chapter 182: The entire lab fell silent at the powerful shout. The invigilators exchanged uncertain looks, at a loss as to how to respond.
The students outside stood frozen, wide-eyed and speechless at the unexpected turn of events. Even those who had once doubted Khloe now hesitated.

Fuming with rage and panic, Sloane snapped at Lawson, "Professor Gray! Are you just going to stand there and watch them walk to their doom? Call security and have them removed!" At her command, annoyance flickered in Lawson's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Report this to the university's board of trustees. Select the most critical HIV patient for a voluntary trial!" The color drained from Sloane's face as Lawson's decision sank in. She stared at him, her voice trembling with shock and frustration. "Professor Gray, how can you even consider this? This is an enormous risk. What if it all goes wrong?" Lawson looked at her with a solemn expression and replied, "Sloane, these patients are making their own choices. They're willing to risk it all for a chance at survival. We can't strip them of that hope." Around the lab, others nodded in agreement. Even the students who had once questioned Khloe were now stirred by Lawson's decision, eager to see what Khloe's medicine might accomplish. Trembling with rage, Sloane felt as though her carefully laid plans had been shattered. She shot a venomous glare at Khloe, her heart seething with resentment.
Before long, the university's board of trustees responded, giving their approval to Lawson's proposal. Out of all the patients, they chose the one in the most critical condition to volunteer for the experiment.
The chosen patient arrived outside the lab soon after, wheeled in on a hospital bed. She was a fragile young girl, her arms marked by a rash of red spots, and her exposed skin showed the telltale signs of severe deterioration, revealing just how weak her immune system had become.
The girl breathed shallowly, her body nothing but skin and bones, but her eyes burned with hope as she looked at Khloe. "Miss, is it true? Will I really get a hundred million if I take this medicine?" She didn't ask about the medicine's chances of working or whether it might save her. Her focus was solely on the money, and the meaning behind her words was clear to everyone in the room. She wasn't looking for a cure; she was just after the money, not caring whether the treatment worked or not.

When did you becso heartless?" His voice was heavy with disappointment, as if he were watching her commit an unforgivable act-something far beneath the person he thought he once knew.
Before Khloe could say anything, the girl suddenly shouted at Eric in anger, "You know nothing!" The outburst took everyone by surprise. The lab fell into a heavy silence, with all eyes darting back and forth between Eric and the girl.

Eric was taken aback, clearly not expecting such a fierce reply from m the frail girl. His anger flickered across his face, but he couldn't bring himself to argue with someone so near death. He bit back his words and fell silent.
After reprimanding Eric, the girl suddenly broke down, tears welling in her eyes. "My nis Desiree Fowler. I just started college, but thmy family can't afford to support me. I can't sold my blood to make money, and that's how I contracted this disease. I've let my family down. This illness has taken everything from them. I just want to use the money to make things easier for them while I can. I don't have much tleft! Please don't take away my chance to help them."
Her words stirred a deep sadness in everyone's heart. The content is on novelenglish.net! mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
