Chapter 610
“Yes, she’s a really good cook, but she doesn’t really enjoy being in the kitchen. Even I rarely get to drink the soup she makes. It’s clear that she likes you very much.”
Sarah has always gone out of her way for people whom she cares about.
“How are Sarah and Juan doing now?” Sophie was aware of Sarah’s feelings for the latter despite him not deserving them.
“I have no idea.”
They never interfered in Sarah’s life given how headstrong she was.
“Also, Juan isn’t worthy of her at all. Sarah deserves a better man, one who truly cares about her wholeheartedly.”
Setting aside his many other flaws, Juan is a terrible judge of character.
“Do you like Sarah a lot too?”
Sophie nodded without hesitation.
“That goes without saying. Who doesn’t like a girl like her? If only she could take a good look around, she would discover a lot of wonderful people around her.”
It must be for this reason Sarah hasn’t been sleeping well.
“How is her sleep recently?” Her essential oils must have run out by now. If that’s the case, I should get her more.
“It’s much better. Thanks to you, she’s now able to sleep without the help of essential oils.”
Sophie had always tried to be helpful.
“I’m glad to hear that.”
Given that insomnia was a tormenting condition and could ruin someone in the long run, Sophie got Sarah the essential oils once she learned that the latter was suffering from it.
After finishing her soup, Sophie began to feel sleepy.
She was never one who enjoyed sleeping a lot, it was just that the series of events in the last few days had really drained her. Thus, drowsiness descended upon her the moment she finished her meal.
When Tristan saw how cute she looked, he couldn’t help but break out a smile.
There was no need for him to do anything special when he was with her. Watching her alone was more than enough to satisfy him.
“All right then. You should get some sleep if you’re tired. I’ll be right here by your side.” Since he was already there, he didn’t feel like leaving at all.
However, Sophie shook her head.
“You should go home instead. There’s nothing here at all. In fact, you can’t even rest comfortably here.” If she had a choice, she wouldn’t want to stay in such an environment too.
“But I want to stay here with you. As long as we can be together, I don’t mind even if we were in the middle of some desert.”
What matters is who we’re with and not where we are. Hasn’t this always been the case?
Wrapping her hands around his neck and letting him carry all her weight, Sophie added, “Just give me three more days, and I’ll be able to resolve this issue.”
A lot of progress has been made, so I just need a few more days to wrap it all up.
“Wow, you’re really amazing. It seems there’s nothing in this world you can’t handle.”
in truth, he preferred her to be less capable, for all her time would be spent on work instead of enjoying life.
In response to his compliment, Sophie gave him a peck on the lips.
“All right, off you go now!” Since she was about to go to sleep, there was no point in him staying. He would be better off getting some proper rest instead.
Three days later, Sophie’s research finally yielded results, just as she predicted. And this time, there were no longer any side effects.
Georgina, who had been by Sophie’s side all the time, couldn’t help but jump for joy. After which, she gave Sophie a hug.
“Sophie, you’re amazing! I don’t think there are many in this world who are as smart as you!”
Initially, the staff at Central Hospital were reluctant to show Sophie any respect. After all, they doubted that a young lady who hadn’t even graduated from university would be capable of doing much.
Consequently, all of them were humiliated by the latest results.
Standing beside the two ladies, Barney broke out a proud smile.
Sophie is a genius to be able to complete the breakdown of the DNA sequence. Going forward, medicine in Chanaea will be making great strides forward because of her.
That was the reason why he made the decisive decision to come to Chanaea.
“Well done, Sophie!” Barney congratulated her. Receiving a compliment from him was by itself an achievement, for everyone who worked with him knew how difficult it was to earn his praise.
Meanwhile, Sophie was well aware of how emotional Georgina was.
The latter had spent countless nights working together with her and had contributed significantly to the research.
“Georgina, I wouldn’t have done it without you,” Sophie declared in a gentle tone. She was, after all, very fond of Georgina.
The moment the words rolled off the former’s tongue, Georgina burst into tears.
“Luckily, all our hard work has paid off.” After living in a highly stressful environment for a long time, they could finally take a proper break. “Sophie, thank you. I have learned a lot throughout all the time I’ve spent with you.”
Georgina was extremely grateful.
Previously, she had assumed that medicine wasn’t for her and was on the brink of giving up. However, their latest achievement helped her rediscover her talent.
“Dr. Smith, isn’t International Medical Association short-handed right now? Why don’t you invite Georgina to join you? She’s certainly qualified to do so!”
Sophie recommended Georgina based on merit and she wasn’t trying to pull strings for her friend at all.
The mere mention of International Medical Association took Georgina’s breath away. Joining it was, after all, the dream goal of all medical students.
Georgina was naturally no exception.
Therefore, she was surprised to hear Sophie propose it that very day.
After giving it serious thought, Barney nodded in agreement.
“Ms. Bates, welcome to International Medical Association!” Barney extended a hand sincerely.
Georgina obviously knew who the foreigner in front of her was.
After wiping her hand on her lab coat, she took Barney’s hand and shook it.
“Can I really cut it?” Even at that moment, she still couldn’t believe that she was qualified to join International Medical Association.
When she saw the blank look on Georgina’s face, Sophie patted her on the shoulder.
“I have no doubt that you’ll succeed,” Sophie replied with a smile.
Now that the results of the DNA sequencing were out, all they needed to do was to use the drug on their patients.
Hence, Sophie was finally able to go home.
“Dr. Smith, I’ll leave everything in your hands now. As I’m still a student, I’m not suited for this place yet.” With Barney and Georgina at the helm, Sophie didn’t foresee any problems. Moreover, Arius was close to full recovery and would soon return to help.
“Mmm-hmm. Thank you for all that you have done. Don’t forget to attend the banquet tonight!” She was, after all, the one who made the largest contribution.
