Lai smiled faintly. He hadn't always been without hope, but over time, the psychological torment... he gradually got used to it.
"You don't need to worry. My condition isn't fatal, and even if we don't find an antidote, it doesn't matter."
Ed looked at Lai, silent for a moment.
Lai seemed to be comforting himself, yet he truly seemed not to care anymore.
He recalled the way Lai used to be back then, treating everyone as an idiot and speaking venomously. But now, that once proud, genius aura had been worn away...
The moment Ed saw Lai, he noticed an unfamiliar sense of dejection in him.
The once effortlessly domineering male was now downcast.
Ed felt uneasy about it.
Lai shouldn't be like this.
"What? You underestimate me?" Ed snorted, "I'll tell you, in other aspects, I might not be as good as you! But in poison research, I'm surely not worse than you!"
