Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Why Is Heaven So Partial to Her! (1)
Elias Hawthorne suddenly felt a surge of gratitude towards the heavens; if not for their favoritism, he wouldn’t have ended up marrying Raina.
Leila Foster began to introduce the drug.
Under the gaze of so many people, especially all her seniors, she was somewhat nervous, stumbling over her words. But no one dared to express discontent or urge her on; they all patiently waited.
Claire North stared at the screen in disbelief, becoming more and more alarmed, until she couldn’t even force a smile.
She slumped in her chair.
Knowing she had lost.
A complete loss.
As the primary researcher of the new drug, no one knows better than her the drawbacks of the drug, which is that it fundamentally cannot be used on humans.
Although the drug can kill the cancerous Shea, it actually kills the healthy Shea first; it could be said the drug is even more damaging than chemotherapy.
The other seniors surely know this as well; the reason they praise her so much is that they believe these issues can eventually be overcome.
For instance, by finding a drug that balances the effects, reducing the harm to healthy Shea while killing the cancerous Shea.
But that’s unnecessary now.
Because Raina has already handed in the best answer.
What she presented is the best treatment method.
Let’s put it this way, once it passes phase three clinical trials, her new drug can be marketed.
As soon as this news is released, Raina will be elevated to a divine pedestal.
Why?
Claire North couldn’t understand no matter how hard she tried; five years ago, she had already snatched Raina’s opportunity and expelled her from The Veridian Institute of Medicine. Why could she still develop such an amazing new drug?
Why didn’t she get destroyed in that way?
Why does heaven favor Raina so much!
At this moment, Claire’s heart was overwhelmed with endless animosity.
"Apothecary North, can you talk about your research direction?"
"Crowe, can’t you restrain yourself? Asking about someone’s research direction right off the bat? And you call yourself a senior!"
The senior known as Crowe laughed awkwardly, "I’m not just listening for free. If Apothecary North would generously share, I wouldn’t mind exchanging my family’s Golden Needle Technique for it."
"I’m willing to exchange too."
"I’m willing as well..."
Leila Foster watched the seniors competing eagerly, feeling proud and then glanced at the members of Group One, letting out a heavy snort.
She had always said Raina was impressive, but they insisted on looking down on her; look now, they’ve been thoroughly humiliated.
Aidan Lynch noticed Elias Hawthorne’s brief glance and immediately stepped forward to say, "Veridia is truly blessed to have a genius like Apothecary North. As a member of Veridia, The Hawthorne Group is willing to sponsor all of Apothecary North’s future research. The Hawthorne Group also promises that when the new drug is launched, it will be sold to Veridian people at cost price only."
Raina couldn’t help but look at Aidan a few more times, her gaze finally resting on Elias.
This man indeed has tremendous courage.
Just a single sentence about selling at cost price sacrifices countless profits.
However, in sacrificing profit, The Hawthorne Group’s reputation will reach its peak, and the benefits this reputation will bring are limitless.
No wonder The Hawthorne Group has been able to dominate for years; Elias Hawthorne is indeed remarkable.
But this is also the result Raina most desires to see.
Having witnessed the plight of the poor at the bottom of society, Raina’s greatest wish in this life is that no one has to lose everything because of an illness.
She hopes everyone can live well.
"Since The Hawthorne Group is so sincere, I have no reason to refuse. However, I am ultimately a pharmacist at The Veridian Institute of Medicine, and specifics will need to be discussed between The Hawthorne Group and The Veridian Institute of Medicine." Raina paused for a moment and said, "Alright, everyone can begin voting now."
