Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 40

Listening to her professor's cheerful chatter, Grace felt a warmth spreading through her.

There was none of the Hart family’s coldness here, none of Ethan’s suspicion.

There was only a pure academic atmosphere and the genuine care of a mentor.

She felt like a long-drifting boat that had finally found a safe harbor to dock in.

The administrative procedures were completed quickly.

Dr. Grant then led her to a spacious and bright private office.

“So? What do you think?”

“It’s wonderful, Professor. Thank you.”

“Don’t be so formal with me,” Dr. Grant said with a wave of his hand. “Get settled in. This afternoon, I’ll introduce you to your colleagues on the project team.”

“By the way, you know Dr. Thomas Lane, right? He’s a titan in molecular biology here at the institute. He’s also very impressed with you and specifically requested that you join his core research group.”

“I figured his team has a better platform and more resources, which would be a great help for your future research, so I went ahead and accepted on your behalf.”

Grace nodded. “Of course. I’ll follow your arrangements, Professor.”

She had long heard of Dr. Thomas Lane. He was a highly respected senior figure in the industry, and joining his team was indeed an excellent opportunity for her.

That afternoon, Dr. Grant took Grace to Thomas Lane’s laboratory.

A man in his fifties, slightly overweight and wearing black-framed glasses, was standing at a lab bench instructing a student.

Upon seeing Dr. Grant and Grace, he immediately broke into a wide smile and came over to greet them.

“Ah, Dr. Grant! What a pleasant surprise to have you bring her over personally!”

His gaze fell on Grace, and he extended his hand enthusiastically.
