Teacher's Day Flowers

After hanging up, I looked right at Hera and Terry and noticed that they looked pale.

"If the test results prove that this is just an ordinary bouquet of flowers, that means I'm crazy. Not only will I get on my knees and apologize to Mr. Nash, I’ll also give all 30% of my shares in the pharmaceutical company, as well as all my real estate and savings, to you, Hera. I'll leave with nothing."

Sarah's eyes exploded with undisguised ecstasy and she immediately gave Hera a bump. Her voice getting sharper from excitement, she exclaimed, "Did you hear that, Hera?! Bruce, Candice, you heard it too, right?! He said it himself!"

The rationality in Hera's eyes was completely swallowed by greed. Fearing that I might backtrack, she decisively proclaimed to everyone, “Okay! Let’s go now! Stanley, you better keep your word! Let's all go witness how Stanley wronged an innocent person!"

My mom's face was filled with regret and panic. She wanted to hold me back, but my dad stopped her.

My dad looked at me deeply, and in that look, trust outweighed worry.

My mom cried all the way to the testing center, intermittently muttering, "Stanley, why are you so stupid... how can you bet your entire life's work out of anger..."

My dad didn't say a word, but he kept glancing at me through the rearview mirror.

Hera, who was in the passenger seat, also occasionally made eye contact with me through the rearview mirror. Her eyes were full of contempt, mockery, and excitement for the huge wealth that she was about to obtain.

The testers I had contacted in advance were already waiting for us at the door in white coats.

"Mr. Lawson, what do you need to test?" Jane Alba, the head of the laboratory, came up to greet me.

I extended my arm, "First, my blood sample."

I didn't even bat an eye when the nurse drew blood.

Then, I carefully took out the bouquet of lilies that I had broken into pieces from the evidence bag and handed it over. "Second, extract the pollen and juice samples from the stamens and stems of this bouquet."

My actions were calm and smooth, without the slightest hesitation.

A trace of doubt flashed in Hera's eyes. She seemed a little uneasy about my overly calm attitude, but this unease was quickly drowned out by her absolute confidence in victory.

During the wait for the results, everyone held their breath.

The only sound was the faint hum of the instruments in the laboratory.

Hera walked up to me with her arms folded and whispered contemptuously in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Stanley, you’re a really convincing actor, I'll give you that. It's not too late to beg me. I can show you mercy and not divorce you so that you won't be left with nothing. Otherwise, when you kneel later, make sure you fall down on your knees harder or I'm afraid my mom and Terry won't be satisfied."

Time ticked by.

Sarah began to complain impatiently, "Why isn't it done yet? What's even the point of testing some flowers?"

Terry comforted in a soft voice, "Don't worry, Sarah. Scientific tests need to be done carefully."

My mom rubbed her hands nervously, her lips pale.

Finally, the first blood report was generated.

On the huge electronic screen, the information refreshed, and the final analysis result was underlined in red.

Jane, who had been expressionless, looked shocked when she saw the result.

She pushed her chair back and stood up abruptly, her eyes widening.

Before anyone could react, Jane had already grabbed the internal emergency phone on the table. Her voice trembling with shock, she said, "Contact the security department and seal off the A-level biological laboratory immediately! Also, call the police! Yes, immediately! Someone's conducting an illegal human experiment!"
