His technical assistant, Lanze Mirai, also wore a disappointed expression, although inwardly, he was sneering. He tried his best to hide the smile threatening to appear on his face before offering some consolation.
"It's okay, Dr. Lee. Don't be disappointed. We'll succeed next time."
Dr. Jack Lee sighed and nodded, but the dullness in his eyes made it obvious that he no longer had much hope. After working on the project for so long without any significant breakthrough, even his confidence was beginning to waver.
Lanze Mirai then looked toward the other female assistant working under Dr. Jack Lee.
"Dr. Im Sol, please take Dr. Jack Lee to get some rest. He hasn't slept for thirty hours straight, and that's not good for his health."
Im Sol, a fair-skinned and beautiful young doctor, nodded and looked at Dr. Jack Lee with concern.
"Dr. Lee, please follow me. You really need to rest."
Dr. Jack Lee gave another tired sigh before allowing her to lead him away.
