?Chapter 650:

    Elliana pressed her lips together, offering no exnation.

    Adah shrugged off theck of response andunched into an animated retelling of her breakup saga,ughing until tears streamed down her cheeks. “You should have seen it—An’s face turned crimson with rage when he drove me back here!”

    Elliana’s lips curved into an amused smile. “Honestly though, An’s quite the catch. Letting him slip away means you’ll struggle to find someone of his caliber.”

    “No matter how exceptional he might be, he’s simply not my type. What’s the point in settling?” Adah pouted and then yfully nudged Elliana’s shoulder. “Actually, Elliana, I’ve already set my sights on someone else.”

    Curiosity sparked in Elliana’s eyes as she looked up. “Which charming gentleman has captured your attention?”

    Adah covered her mouth with a delighted giggle, radiating both allure and bashfulness. “It’s your protégé—Lance from the Evans family. I caught sight of himst night and found him absolutely adorable. I’m seriously considering him as my future boyfriend. Ha-ha…”

    Elliana choked on her water, spraying it everywhere inplete shock.

    It was one of the most absurd things Elliana had ever heard. She had never imagined Adah would develop feelings for Lance. Yet, considering Adah’s specific requirements for a boyfriend, the attraction made perfect sense. Adah craved someone handsome, effortlesslypliant, and respectful enough to acknowledge her as the dominant force. Lance embodied these traits wlessly, so it was natural for Adah to gravitate toward him.

    “What’s so amusing?” Adah demanded, her lower lip jutting out in an indignant pout.

    Elliana dismissed the question with a casual wave. “Nothing worth exining. Do whatever makes you happy.”

    Though Elliana found Adah’s interest in Lance startling and believed they were fundamentally ipatible, she refused to interfere in other people’s romantic entanglements.

    For the following two weeks, Elliana continued to bury herself inboratory research, pushing through exhaustion and sacrificing sleep. Apart from Heather, who faithfully delivered her meals, she encountered no one else.

    Finally, Elliana achieved her breakthrough in Psychephrenia research, sessfully developing a specialized treatment. She christened the medicine “Elysian Elixir.”

    This aplishment filled her with euphoria, although satisfaction remained elusive, as the Elysian Elixir carried significant ws and dangerous side effects.

    Her mother, Rita, had previously created a suppressant that devastated the reproductive system, rendering patients permanently infertile.

    The Elysian Elixir, while effectivelybating Psychephrenia, threatened to ravage a person’s memory, potentially obliterating fragments or the entirety of their past, triggering disorientation orplete memory reconstruction. In essence, while the Elysian Elixir could gradually eliminate Psychephrenia, the transformations it might inflict on a patient’s memory remainedpletely unpredictable.

    Because of these critical imperfections, Elliana decided against informing Cole about the pill just yet.

    After two weeks of relentlessboratory work, exhaustion weighed heavily on her shoulders, and she yearned for several days of rest before perfecting the Elysian Elixir. She was determined to craft a wless version that would effectively…
