"SHIT!" Lena grunted, pushing the glass bottles from the table hastily.
A glass-breaking sound echoed in the lab as all three empty glasses slammed on the floor and shattered into countless pieces.
Julie's heart heaved as she saw the fourth bottle holding the green mixture they had made, floating and almost touching the ground.
Without hesitation, she dashed forward, threw herself, grabbed the tip of the bottle, and slammed it back on the broken glass.
"OUCH!!" she screamed, closed her eyes, and gritted her teeth the moment she felt some of the glass piercing through her skin.
Blood seeped out and streaked on her white lab coat.
Neglecting the pain she was feeling, Julie placed her left palm on the top surface of the glass and pushed herself up.
"Take it easy," she said, her voice echoing in a soft tone, yet it carried the taste of pain flowing through her skin and bones.
