"Of course! Didn''t you see that Professor Lincoln himself came out to greet her?"


    Everyone looked at Trish with a mix of admiration and envy


    Trish had arrived with Cyril, holding her head high, her chi tilted in a way that made her resemble a proud peacock. The confidence and pride radiating from her made her seem almost untouchable, and her presence was dazzling.


    As Trish and Cyril stopped, Trish''s gaze firstnded on Wendy. She looked her over with obvious disdain before shifting her focus to Stanley.


    "Mr. Hawk, Wendy dropped out of school at 16. I''ve even heard she sleeps through Professor Lincoln''s sses. What exactly makes her deserving of a spot at vendale University?"


    Sienna saw her opportunity and eagerly nodded in agreement. “Exactly!"


    Stanley''s face, always soposed and dignified, betrayed no sign of emotion. He nced at Wendy before answering, "She will focus on her studies here."


    Sienna opened her mouth to speak again. She''d heard that Wendy only got into vendale University because Stanley personally asked Cyril on her behalf. Stanley had never made such a request for anyone-Wendy was the only exception. She couldn''t fathom why he thought she deserved such treatment.


    But before she could say anything, Cyril interrupted, his voice calm but firm. "Alright, everyone. Enough arguing. I trust Wendy will take her studies seriously from now on."


    Cyril obviously had to step in for his nephew. Hearing that, Sienna stopped speaking.


    Cyril''s tone shifted as he excitedly announced some big news. "I have something important to tell you all-Dr. Cen ising!"


    Dr. Cen wasing?


    Stanley''s expression shifted ever so slightly. He and Dr. Cen had missed each other twice already, and now, the famous doctor wasing to vendale University?


    Sienna, who idolized Dr. Cen, leaned forward eagerly. "Professor Lincoln, is this true?"


    Trish smiled knowingly. "Of course, it''s true. Dr. Cen ising to hold a lecture at vendale University. We''ll finally get to meet Dr. Cen in person."


    Dr. Cen had always been a mysterious figure and had disappeared for three years. Very few people had ever met the legendary doctor face-to-face.


    Sienna was now even more excited and asked, "Professor Lincoln, are you Dr. Cen''s apprentice?"


    Cyril, lost in thought for a moment, began to recount his story. "Years ago, a rare gue broke out in Condoria. The World Health Organization sent me to the front lines to research a vine. There was a medical equation that troubled me, something I couldn''t solve no matter what I tried. One day, I was feeling frustrated and went out for a walk. When I returned, the equation was solved-it was Dr. Cen who had solved it."


    He paused, smiling at the memory. "I didn''t even know Dr. Cen was there at the time. When I went out to find them, they had already left. But I managed to get their contact information from the staff who ap


    I texted them and was fortunate enough to be their apprentice."


    1 them.


    +


    The group listened intently, captivated by the story.


    Suddenly struck by a thought, Sienna spoke up. "Trish, if Professor Lincoln is Dr. Cen''s apprentice, and you''re his apprentice, then what''s your connection to Dr. Cen?


    Trish opened her mouth to respond, but a soft, melodic voice interrupted before she could. “She''s Dr. Cen''s grand-apprentice."


    Trish froze. She looked up at Wendy, who had suddenly spoken.


    Wendy stood there, calm andposed, her bright eyes sparkling with a yful smile as she looked at Trish. She added, "The moment Dr. Cen arrives, you should greet them respectfully."


    Trish was speechless.


    Sensing the atmosphere growing awkwardly tense, Cyril cleared his throat. He turned to Wendy. "Wendy, what happened with Paul isn''t your fault. I''ll have someone handle it."


    Wendy''s clear eyes met his once again, and she nodded slightly. "I trust you, Cyril. I''m confident you''ll take care of it."
