Winnie did not delay for even a second. She took the materials and immediately headed into the laboratory.
Because Khloe had explicitly ordered that this was a confidential project, only a small team was assigned to assist Winnie. The timeline was tight and the responsibility immense—everyone had to operate at full capacity, every single moment.
Winnie herself had slept less than four hours. She had barely eaten or drunk anything. If Khloe hadn't shown up, she had no intention of leaving the lab at all.
"How's it going? Everything going well?" Khloe asked.
"It's going relatively well. We should be able to complete the drug in about two more days."
At those words, the tension in Khloe's expression finally eased.
Two days—that was far better than she had expected.
Even for the Morrison Group, the most advanced pharmaceutical company in the country, the fastest development cycle for a new drug would usually take over two weeks. Sterile cultivation alone required more than seven days.
It seemed Winnie's preparations had been exceptionally thorough, and the new technology far exceeded expectations. No wonder even Naraida had once been willing to pay a premium for the old version.
If Morrison Group applied this on a large scale in the future, the possibilities were almost unimaginable.
"You've worked hard. These are for everyone." Khloe gestured, and the bodyguards behind her placed more than a dozen bags on the nearby table.
Late-night snacks, coffee, tea, as well as snacks and fruit.
"Once this is done, tell everyone they'll get paid leave and double bonuses."
"Got it. Don't worry. Once the drug is completed, we'll send it to Nick immediately," Winnie said.
Her words struck directly at Khloe's thoughts.
Khloe lowered her gaze. "The drug is produced by the Morrison Group—we can't hide that. But it cannot be given to Nick under my name."
"I knew you'd say that," Winnie sighed.
For a suddenly appearing, highly sensitive breakthrough drug to be administered to Nick, its origin had to be clearly established.
Now that Khloe had already gone this far, if Nick found out the medicine was from her, he would likely refuse it outright. And there was no way Khloe could step forward and explain things to the Hunt family herself either.
The best solution was to use Winnie's name.
