Chapter 338: SOS (Part 1)

Eden University, Five Years Prior

Inside a school's laboratory, bathed in the soft sunlight peering through the curtained windows, the beautiful Althea Witt stood in front of a stainless steel table, engrossed in her work. 

There was a plethora of tools and plants occupying her space. Completely absorbed in her experiments, her emerald eyes focused only on the task at hand.

Her ponytailed auburn hair cascaded down her shoulders, her focused expression highlighting the delicate features of her face.

When a beaker reacted, she was quick to write down notes on her notebook—filled with formulas and various equations only she could decipher. Here, she added complex notations with bright eyes. 

Nimble fingers carefully adjusted the glassware in front of her with deliberate and practiced movements, and she handled the instruments with gentle confidence.

Occasionally, she would brush stray strands of her hair to the back of her ears.
