Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 859

Nora stared at his data.

Although she only caught a flash of the data that had just been uploaded, she still got a clear look at it—Epson's experiment was the same as the one she had done in the past. Its final outcome would only be a failure.

She lowered her eyes and kept quiet.

Many of Epson's students swarmed toward them.

Everyone had painstakingly worked day and night for a month and now it was finally time to get the fruit of their labor. This was the moment that mattered the most to them.

Epson pressed the data consolidation button.

Epson's students said, "Lisa, you have never seen an experiment like this back in America, right? You'll bear witness to a miracle today!"

"Yeah, you are so lucky! Even though you didn't do anything, you still gained Professor Epson's trust. It's really a blessing for you to be able to take part in an experiment like this!"

"Yeah! I bet even Professor Anti wasn't this nice to you, right? Moreover, Staav University is much better than the NYU School of Medicine! At the very least, Anti is the only internationally well-known doctor there, whereas Staav University has many! Professor Epson is just one of the many professors here! You should have a better understanding of how great Staav University is by now, right?"

Amidst their sarcastic, envious, or admonishing remarks,

Nora didn't utter even a word.

"Look, it'll be done real soon!"

Distracted, everyone stopped focusing on Nora.

At this point, someone tugged on Nora's arm.

Nora turned her head to see that Oscar had come up beside her. She lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you apologize to Professor Epson later for showing disrespect towards him? Professor Epson may make himself out to be magnanimous and say that he will forgive you but he's actually very petty. Once the project succeeds, he will definitely go around saying that he's better than Professor Anti, and you are going to be the evidence that he'll use. Be careful not to let him make use of you."

After speaking, Oscar sighed. "You are ultimately just an exchange student, so you have to go back sooner or later. If you offend Anti, your studies won't go smoothly in the future."

Nora:

Oscar had given her so many kind warnings that she didn't quite know what to do anymore.

Oscar explained, "Actually, I secretly really like Professor Anti because she's so cool, but I can't say that out loud. Even if Professor Epson succeeds in his experiment, I'm still not going to think that he's really better than Professor Anti. It would be nice if I could meet Professor Anti even just once in this lifetime."

Then, Oscar sighed and added, "Unfortunately, there is probably no hope for that anymore because Professor Anti only took one postgraduate student under her wing.

I really wonder who it is that's so lucky..."

Nora:

"You'll meet her for sure," she said.

After all, they had already met.

However, Oscar lowered her voice again and asked, "By the way, you must have already told Professor Anti that Professor Epson is carrying out this experiment, right?"

"... Yeah, she knows about it."

Oscar then asked, "T-then can you pass a message to Professor Anti for me?"

"Sure."

Oscar sighed. "Actually, I admire her very much. A one-time failure doesn't mean anything—after all, Professor Anti doesn't specialize in pharmaceuticals; her forte is her surgical skill."

• • •

Now, Nora couldn't concur with that. She coughed and said, "Anti... Professor Anti is actually even more skilled in her pharmaceutical knowledge than her surgical skills."

"Really?"

Oscar was a little surprised. Although she did not quite understand why Nora would suddenly say something like that, she nevertheless said, "Well, that doesn't matter. Even if Professor Anti is more skilled in pharmaceutical knowledge, I still believe this is just a one-time failure for her. I heard that many of the pills that Professor Anti created have already spread to Switzerland... She is still very awesome, no matter what.

Now that Epson has beat her in something for once, he will definitely spread talk about how incompetent Professor Anti is. Do tell Professor Anti not to take it to heart..."

"He won't have the chance," Nora replied.

Her reply took Oscar by surprise. "What do you mean?"

Nora's lip corners curled into a smile. "I'm saying that Professor Epson won't have the chance to do that."

Immediately after she spoke, one of the students at the computer with the experiment data exclaimed, "It has stopped! It reached 100%! The result... The result will be out in a moment!"

"It's out!"

The next moment following their shouts, however, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Oscar hurriedly tugged on Nora's arm. "For the sake of the credits for Professor Epson's class, just congratulate him..."

Before she could finish, though, she heard someone exclaim in shock, "How... how can this be?"
