When fate plays its hand

Chapter 0070

The weather was nice on Saturday. Shafts of bright sunlight filtered. through the layers of cloud.

Miranda was sweating a little after her morning run. She took a shower and got changed after she returned home. Then, she bought some medicine and took a cab to Christine’s place.

“Dr. Young, you need to take the medicine three times a day. You don’t need to keep it in the fridge since it’s cold these days. Just remember to heat it for a bit before drinking it.”

Christine wasn’t picky or faint–hearted. However, the one thing she hated the most was the terrible taste and stench of herbal medicine.

She stared at the dark liquid and silently inched backward. She made one last plea, asking, “Must I drink that?”

“Of course,” Miranda replied. “I’ve also reminded the helper, and she’ll make sure you drink it three times every day.”

Christine looked dejected. “Alright…”

She couldn’t refuse to drink the medicine since Miranda had gotten it out of concern for her health.

Miranda chuckled silently when she saw how Christine had scrunched

her nose like a child would.

“The medicine is quite bitter. So, I bought you some castella from the shop on Chernock Road. You can have a castella after you drink the medicine. It’ll help with the bitter aftertaste.”

Christine’s face broke into a smile almost instantly. “That’s more like it.”

After chatting for a while, she brought up an important issue. “Next Bedford College’s Faculty of Biological Sciences plans on establishing

Christine could understand why she was confused. She explained,” Members of the research team will be awarded extra points by the end This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“What’s more, those who perform well may receive an offer to do a direct PhD program or an offer from Barsson Biotech Corporation to join their research lab,”

Narsson Biotech Corporation was one of the top–ranked companies on both local and international scales.

Their labs had the most advanced equipment in the industry, and they also collaborated with the most com live research partners.

They produced many of the latest and most innovative research findings related to the biotechnology field in Hebrana. People called the company “a scientist’s paradiso“,

Miranda remembered that Narsson Hiotech Corporation belonged to the Jefferson family. It seemed like Paul might have mentioned it to her on purpose before.

“I know how well you perform academically. So, I’m not worried about your capabilities in that regard.” Christine had a gentle look in her eyes as she gazed at Miranda.

“What you lack now is experience in conducting experiments.”

Miranda hadn’t been in a lab in years. She might’ve gotten rusty with handling the tools, or she might not even know how to use the latest equipment. Those were all issues she had to overcome,

Not only did she need to have talent, but she also needed to have spent time honing her skills in this area.

Otherwise, why would Paul spend all of his days in the lab? One needed

to practice constantly to get better at their skills and gain more

experience.

Suddenly, a pair of warm, wrinkly hands clasped over hers. Miranda lifted her gaze and saw the smile on Christine’s face. “I believe in your capabilities. It’s not too late to start now.”

Miranda felt a warm feeling spread within her. She nodded.

“I’m not worried about the admissions exam. Also, there’s still another few months before the next exam.

“During this period, you need to memorize and process the contents of the books and materials I’ve given you.”

years

Christine had a project under her supervision that had started five ye ago. However, the experiments hadn’t yielded any results, even to this day. She planned on having Miranda join the project once she enrolled in college.

After all, Christine had designed the project with Miranda in mind from the beginning. Who would’ve known that things would’ve turned out the way they had?

Anyhow, things were finally getting back on track. There was no point dwelling on the past now.
