Elena Miyano and Sharon have only met once, when the Miyano couple first came to this institute and Shirakawa Kiyoshi came to see them.

It was at that time that she guessed Sharon's identity.

Even so, there is no friendship between the two, and there is no communication in private.

Therefore, when she saw Sharon appear in the research institute, Elena Miyano was actually a little surprised.

[President Karasuma's daughter, is this going to personally inspect the progress of the research?] 】

"It's you......"

In the face of strangers, the old problem of fear of life was committed again, and Miyano Elena, who was still sitting in the chair, quickly got up and whispered to Sharon.

"You know me?" Seeing her like this, Sharon suddenly frowned.

"Yes, we've met once before......"

"What I'm asking is, do you know who I am?" Sharon asked again.

She was keenly aware of this from Elena Miyano's attitude towards her just now.

"I ......" made Miyano Elena not know how to answer, and her nervous and panicked emotions affected her thinking, making her not know whether she should say yes or not.

Her hesitation, Sharon immediately came up with an answer.

Without further questioning, she walked forward and stood in front of the glass window on the other side of the lab.

In the room opposite the glass window, there is a carefully set up ecological room, which is further divided into many small spaces of the same size by metal walls and glass covers, each of which houses a mouse for experimentation, and the glass cover is labeled with the number of each mouse.

"Did Shirakawa tell you?" Sharon asked, her eyes fixed on the guinea pigs.

"No, Mr. Shirakawa didn't tell me, I guessed it myself......"

Elena Miyano was standing behind her, not being looked directly at by Sharon, she suddenly felt the pressure on her body plummet, not only raised her head, but also her voice returned to normal.

"Hmmm......"

Sharon didn't ask any more questions, after all, she didn't come here to ask about these things.

"Your experiment...... Where have we been? She asked, her eyes still fixed on the mice on the other side of the window.

Through the reflection of the glass window, Elena Miyano behind her could vaguely see Sharon's eyes at this time.

In her eyes, there were complex emotions that people couldn't understand at the moment, and Elena Miyano didn't know how to describe it.

Is it mercy? Wretched? Sorrowful? Resentment?

Or is it all of the above?

This made her a little puzzled.

This heir to the Karasuma Group, the purpose of her coming here today...... What is it?

Unsure of Sharon's specific purpose, Elena Miyano decided to answer truthfully, and after careful consideration of her words, she replied:

"At present, it has entered the experimental stage, and the mice you see have been injected with the preliminarily completed drugs, and the specific situation depends on their subsequent reactions......"

"That's fast......"

Sharon said as if with emotion, she raised her hand and pressed it against the glass window, and the voice that couldn't hear the emotion reached the ears of Elena Miyano behind her.

"It's only been half a year since you've been here, and you've made more progress than everyone else combined, so it's no wonder that President Karasuma thinks so highly of you......"

"You're serious, if it weren't for President Karasuma's full support, we wouldn't have been able to get to where we are today, and these are not just the credit of our husband and wife." In the face of Sharon's praise, Miyano Elena hurriedly pushed back.

[It seems that the daughter of President Karasuma should have come here today just to learn about the progress of the research......]

"How long do you expect it will take for the experiment to move to the next stage?" Sharon's voice came again.

"What's next?"

"It's human experimentation."

Human experiments, this is a link that cannot be avoided by the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research.

In particular, the medicine that Karasuma Renya wanted, since it was ultimately intended to act on humans, it was naturally impossible to avoid human experiments in the process of research.

The current mouse experiment is only the initial stage, once the final result of the drug is stable, the next step will inevitably enter the human experiment.

"If everything goes well, it should be three months at the earliest, and six months at the slatest." After hesitating for a moment, Elena Miyano replied truthfully.

At the latest, the research will move to the stage of human experiments.

There was no emotional change on her face, nor did she feel any unusual emotions about the word.

Although there is a deep concern about "human experimentation" in today's society, as long as you mention it, you can think of many dark and terrifying experiments......

But in fact, in today's society, there are quite perfect regulations for human experiments on drugs, various binding treaties, and compensation after accidents have detailed provisions, which are not as terrible as people imagine.

"Has the candidate for the experiment been decided?" Sharon asked.

"Not yet, we'll submit an application to President Karasuma later......"

"yes......"

When Sharon heard this, she finally withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Elena Miyano, and said:

"I will participate in the human experiments in the future."

“…… Huh? Wait a minute! You ......"

Her words undoubtedly shocked Elena Miyano.

The president's daughter wants to personally participate in the experiment as an experiment?!

Are you kidding? What if something happens?!

Although Elena Miyano thinks that she can minimize the danger of the experiment, it is not that there is no danger at all, and if there is any case, the couple simply cannot afford to do so!

"This is, President Karasuma's decision."

Looking at the surprised Elena Miyano, Sharon slowly said this, and the gloom hidden in her eyes was also revealed at this moment.

“……”

Bai He's family, after all the dishes were ready, Bai Heqing glanced at the time, and it was almost time to pick up Yoko from school.

It's just that......

"Father, do you have anything to say to me?"

Carefully slicing the potatoes into slices of the exact same thickness, Shirakawa said.

"Well, it's a bit ......" Shirakawa nodded, but didn't speak, he was thinking about how to tell Yoko's affairs in the most tactful way.

But it soon became clear to him that he didn't have to think about it anymore.

"Are you going to pick up that sister named Yoko from school?"

While Bai Heqing was still thinking about it, Bai Hejing suddenly spoke, and her words made Bai Heqing stunned.

"Ah Jing, you ......"

"Mom mentioned it to me before, Yoko, she ...... It's Aunt Okino's daughter......"
