Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Catching Up

Lillian carefully reached into her bag and pulled out a delicate porcelain bottle, which she then offered to Mr. Larson. “Mr. Larson, this is my newest creation, the Light Pill. It hasn’t officially been released by the company yet, but I tweaked the formula in this batch—the effect is much stronger, capable of repairing the body at its very core.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Mr. Larson accepted the bottle, his trust in Lillian’s medical expertise absolute. With a warm smile, he said, “I’ll gladly take it, then.”

They exchanged a few more words, the atmosphere relaxed and friendly, until the sound of steady footsteps announced Jacob’s arrival. When his gaze landed on the young woman seated on the sofa, he paused, momentarily stunned. The little girl he remembered from two years ago had blossomed into a stunning woman. The innocence of youth had faded, replaced by an elegant, refined beauty that was impossible to ignore.

Lillian caught his eyes and teased lightly, “Two years have passed, and you don’t even recognize me?”

Jacob’s face remained composed, but the energy radiating from him betrayed his excitement. “You little troublemaker, why didn’t you call me when you came? If Jack hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known you were here at all.”

A soft laugh escaped Lillian’s lips. “I wanted to surprise you. So? Were you shocked?”

Before Jacob could respond, Mr. Larson emerged from the study, his voice filled with enthusiasm. “Lillian, my dear, I feel a rush of heat coursing through me. I’m full of energy, strong as ever, like I have endless vitality.”

Lillian glanced at his complexion, a satisfied nod following. “Mm, the medicine is working just as I hoped. Keep up with your daily exercises, and you’ll live a long, peaceful life—easily to a hundred.”

Mr. Larson looked proudly at his son. “Well, don’t I look as strong and heroic as I did in my younger days?”

Jacob studied his father’s vibrant face thoughtfully. For the past two years, although the old illnesses hadn’t returned, his father’s spirit had been subdued. But now, he seemed to have regained the vigor of his prime. Smiling, Jacob remarked, “With how you look now, if you walked outside and told people I’m your son, no one would believe it.”

Some executives initially raised objections, but once Karina explained that it was the chairman’s order, no one dared to argue further.

Though none of them had ever actually seen the chairman, every decision made over the years had proven flawless, leaving no reason to question his authority.

The Skyreach Group’s pharmaceutical launch became a grand spectacle. What drew the most attention, however, was the choice to hold the event right at the factory itself. Most pharmaceutical companies guarded their factories closely, unwilling to allow outsiders inside due to the sensitive nature of their operations. Yet Skyreach boldly opened its doors, capturing everyone’s curiosity.

Reporters arrived early at the Skyreach factory. The massive gates were already wide open, and staff members guided them inside. Towering research buildings, sprawling production facilities, and carefully tended medicinal gardens stretched out before them—the factory was like a small, self-contained city. The visitors couldn’t help but be impressed.

The press conference was held in the central conference hall of the factory. The circular structure radiated a sleek, high-tech aura. Every guest who entered underwent infrared security screening to ensure safety. Inside, everything had been meticulously arranged. Giant screens displayed panoramic views of Skyreach Pharmaceuticals in a continuous loop, highlighting the company’s cutting-edge capabilities.
