Chapter 774
What?
As if she was struck by a thunderbolt, Lauren looked up immediately. Her. bright eyes burned with fire. "Ln... engaged?" She stammered.
Her body swayed and she couldn't stand steadily for a brief moment. How was this possible? Was he lying to her? She had only been in here for a short while and they...
Willy gave her a small smile before he burst her last bit of hope.
"Six years. You'll be jailed for six years and have to carry this blame on your back for your entire life for someone. However, that someone doesn't seem to appreciate this. He won't even wait six months for you!" Willy said.
Willy stared at her and continued to say.
"Six years isn't that long. If you do well in prison and make a small contribution, you may be released in less than three years. However, some people obviously don't think so! A woman who's been in prison will be tainted for a lifetime. Three years is neither long nor short, but I just don't know how many years of youth a woman in her prime has? What do you think?" He continued.
He heard that she was very clever. However, it turned out that she was just another stupid woman who was deceived by a man.
"Oh, right, I'm not sure a researcher who made a serious mistake and caused serious injuries would still be allowed to work in the laboratory in the future," Willy added.
What Willy said was cleverly cryptic. Once she was in prison, her life, career, and marriage would all be ruined. When she could finally be free, the outside world would have drastically changed by then. Her knowledge and skills might even be outdated then. Even if they weren't, would anyone be willing to accept her back in the workforce?
It wasn't that Lauren didn't understand these things nor did she never think about them. At that moment, a miserable figure emerged in her mind.
On the day the accident happened, she had been bringing some supper to Zedd. He had just gotten out from the lab and immediately knelt down in front of her as soon as he saw her.
He said that he was a man and his career couldn't be ruined. Additionally, he was being evaluated for his position, so he couldn't make any mistakes at that point in time.
He said that the court would instinctively sympathize with women and the weak. Therefore, he asked her for help.
He said that if she turned herself in and behaved well, it wouldn't be considered an intentional homicide. It was just an accident, so she wouldn't be sentenced for a long time. He would wait for her and get married to her when she was released.
He said that he would find a way to get her the best lawyer, as long as she held on!
He said that he loved her and what he did was also for their future's sake.
He said that all it took was three year. If the sentence was reduced, she may even be released in a year, he said!
In the end, even though the victim wasn't killed and was seriously injured, she was still sentenced to six years imprisonment!
Six years or not, she was still willing to accept anything that came her way.
Although she liked to do research, she wasn't as career-oriented and even agreed with the fact that men should fight for their careers. When it came to professionals like them, they couldn't have such a stain!
She subconsciously hoped to have a home and a peaceful life in the future.
In fact, she thought of jail as a minute matter. After all, she was used to such quiet days. In the past, it was very common for her to stay in the laboratory alone and not leave for a month.
However, she didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he had changed into another person!
Didn't he always dislike Kylie?
What on earth was this for then? Why did he treat her like this?
She wanted to leave! She wanted to see it with her own eyes!
Lauren looked at Willy and said, "You're not here to gossip with me, are you?"
He was a well-known person in Casterwich City. He must have a way!
"Would you like to get out of here?" Willy asked with a smile. She was cuter when she was talkative!
Without beating around the bush, Lauren asked bluntly. "What do you want?"
There was no free lunch in this world. Furthermore, he was diligent and had even come to see her in person! He must have a favor to ask. It mustn't be a small matter either!
Willy took out a piece of paper and handed it over to her.
Lauren opened it up and looked at it. She said in surprise, "This formula... It seems to be a part of the formula. You want me to help you make drugs?"
These decomposition formulae and synthetic chemical formulae were clearly the components of drugs!
Lauren shook her hand and stuffed the paper back into his hand. She wouldn't touch that kind of thing!Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Willy took out a lighter and burned it. "You're really the queen of the Chemistry Department of Casterwich Institute!"
She could tell what it was at a glance! This was worthy of his effort!
"Of course I wouldn't be interested in such a harmful thing! Since you understand it, you should be able to figure out a way to break it down, right?" Willy asked.
With just one word, Lauren understood that he wanted the antidote. However, this wasn't her expertise.
She furrowed her brows.
"You think too highly of me! If I can really develop a drug to break these down, why are there still drug rehabilitation centers around? I don't know anything about medicine!" She argued.
Moreover, these kinds of matters couldn't be solved by antidotes. Long-term usage caused great brain damage. So if people used they would either die of various infectious diseases or become lunatics. This kind of damage was impossible to reverse! It wasn't something that she could control!
Those who weren't addicted to it would be fine as long as they could quit and never take it again!
"I know. Different types of drugs have different components! It'll be difficult for you to solve it at once. Even if you're capable of doing this, it'll take you eight to ten years! I don't need you to be an expert in medicine. All you need to do is break down the fixed prescription that I

gave you! Breaking down a fixed- component matter into other substances that are harmless to the
human body - that shouldn't be a
problem for you, right?" Willy said.
As long as the substance in the formula didn't work, it would be Carson's job to expel the extra substances from the body! As for other matters, they were quite frankly out of their hands. At the very least, the Hell Ice Liquor and Heavens Coffee wouldn't spread further!
For her, this was no different from taking on a new topic!
In fact, it was also a piece of cake for her to make such a formula. She once extracted it from the medicinal components in an experiment. However, she didn't feel good about getting involved in this sort of thing. Therefore, Lauren just pursed her lips and remained silent.
But if she did this, she would definitely be able to leave this place and did what she wanted to do!
Lauren was stuck in a dilemma. She considered this offer but felt hesitant about going through with it. Should she agree to do this for him or wait for
the opportunity to save herself? When could she be able to contact the outside world?
If everything he said was true and that Zedd had gone abroad, she would probably never be able to turn her life around!
In the midst of her anxiety, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Willy's watch. Her palms were sweaty and she gritted her teeth. "I want to get out of here! I want to reverse the verdict!"
