In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 488 Physics Lab

It was the weekend. Xander rode his bike to Lewis Manor. When he saw Harold, he greeted him politely. "Mr. Lewis Senior!"

Harold looked delighted to see Xander. "Xander, have you come to see Caleb and Victor? The two of them aren't home today. They left early this morning."

"It's okay, Mr. Lewis Senior. I'm not here to see them! I'm here for Gracie."

Harold smiled knowingly. "I see! Then, I'll get the housekeeper to call her downstairs."

He called the housekeeper and said, "Go and tell Gracie that Xander is here. Tell her to hurry up and come downstairs."

"It's okay, Mr. Lewis Senior. I'll wait for her here." Xander had just finished speaking when he heard the thumping of footsteps on the stairs.

Soon, Grace ran into the living room. "Xander, you're here!"

Xander murmured in assent and looked at Harold. "We'll get going now, Mr. Lewis Senior."

Harold nodded. "Okay, off you go!"

The moment they went out, Grace was filled with questions. "Xander, where are you taking me? Why are you being so mysterious?"

But Xander kept his lips sealed. "I'm not going to tell you yet. You'll know in a moment when we get there."

Grace murmured in assent. "Okay."

Xander got on his bicycle and extended a sincere invitation. "Get on!"

Grace didn't hesitate and sat on the back of the bicycle. When he saw that she was seated, Xander stepped on the pedals and slowly rode off.

…

When they reached their destination, Grace was confused. "What is this place, Xander?"

Xander grabbed her arm. "Come on, let's go in and see!"

The two of them entered, and they saw that the room was filled with all sorts of equipment used in physics experiments. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Some of the equipment looked very strange, and it caught Grace's interest immediately.

"Xander, what is this?"

"That's a concave-convex lens."

"It looks so strange! What about this, then?"

"That's a resistance box, and beside it are an ohmmeter and an ammeter."

Grace was awed into silence. After entering the physics lab, she was filled with curiosity about everything.

Xander patiently answered all her questions until the two of them walked to the other side of the lab.

Only then did he stop and look at her. "Do you want to try doing a physics experiment?"

Grace asked in hesitation, "Me?"

"Yep. Do you want to try?"

Grace was reluctant to do it. "No, I don't know how to do it."

"It's okay. Try it. You'll definitely be able to do it."

Under Xander's patient encouragement, Grace finally agreed. Xander guided her through an experiment with a pinhole camera, step by step.

When the experiment had ended, Grace looked at her experiment results in awe. She couldn't help crying out, "It's upside down and flipped from left to right! What is going on?"

Xander patiently explained, "A pinhole camera is based on the principle of light being in a constant medium, and when it's not affected by gravity, it will transmit in a straight line. This is the rectilinear propagation of light …"

After listening to Xander's explanation, Grace thought that it was quite interesting. "Xander, let's do some other experiments."

Xander saw that her interest had been piqued, and without a moment's hesitation, he went through all the physics experiments for the school year with her.

The two of them stayed in the lab from morning to night, until Xander finally lifted his wrist to look at the time. "It's getting late, Gracie. We should go back."

Grace was reluctant to leave. "No, this experiment isn't done yet. Let's wait for the result before leaving."
