Chapter 711
We don’t even need their acknowledgment, to begin with. The International Medical Association are going to have to try harder than that if they wish to stop us! Also, we’re in Chanaea, so there isn’t much they can do to us from their country.
Barney got all excited when he heard Sophie mention the research on the new disease. “Yes, you’re right. We must give this research everything we’ve got!”
The Chanaean Medical Association has a lot of obstacles to overcome because it is still new to the scene, but it’s nothing we can’t handle. Things are sure to work out in the end as long as we don’t give up on it!
“I’ve been trying to cheer Dr. Smith up all day, but nothing I said seemed to do the trick. You, on the other hand, got him all hyped up the moment you came in through the door. Looks like you truly are his one and only mentee!”
Georgina came out to see Sophie the moment she heard her voice.
She had heard about Sophie being badly injured, so she felt relieved to see that Sophie was doing all right. “I’m so glad that you’re back, Sophie!”
We’ll be able to solve any problem as long as we have Sophie around!
“Yes, it’s good to be back. How have you been? Are you getting used to the work here? It’s not too tough for you, right?” Most medical practitioners dreamed of joining the International Medical Association, but not everyone could handle the tough working environment over there.
“It’s all right. I think I enjoy working here!” Over here, all she had to do was focus on her own research. She didn’t need to concern herself with anything else, and that was something she liked very much.
“I’m glad you like it here.” Sophie felt relieved to hear that Georgina was adapting well to the new working environment.
“I would like to treat you to dinner tonight. Would you have the time for that? Also, could you bring Professor Gullifer along?” Georgina wanted to thank Sophie properly for granting her such an amazing job opportunity.
She was in love with Arius, but she also knew that the difference between them was far too much.
Despite knowing that, she still wanted to get closer to Arius. She would be satisfied enough just to be in the same room with him.
“Sure thing.”
Sophie couldn’t bring herself to turn Georgina’s request down upon seeing the expectant look on her face. Although Arius had no experience in dating, he was certainly no easy game.
Ordinary women would definitely have a hard time trying to win his heart.
“I’ll be heading back to the laboratory, then. I still have an experiment that I’m working on, so I can’t stay here and chat with you.”
Arius frowned when he saw that Sophie was still standing there when he returned. “What are you doing standing around here? Hurry up and get to work!”
“Arius, what do you think of Georgina?” Sophie asked seriously.
Arius arched an eyebrow at her in response.
“Hmm… She’s quite the diligent worker,” he replied honestly. On top of that, she looks pretty too.
“Well, she wants to invite us to dinner tonight. Would you care to join us?” Sophie asked as she didn’t want to force Arius into anything he didn’t like.
“Sure!”
Having dinner with Sophie and Georgina sounded a lot more fun than spending the rest of the evening with Barney.
“All right, then.”
The two of them then donned their lab coats and made their way over to the laboratory.
Barney had already started conducting research with a few of the newly-hired researchers by the time Sophie came in.
Since it was Sophie’s first time in the laboratory, all she did was observe them from the side.
The newly-hired researchers proved to be fairly capable as they managed to keep up with Barney’s tempo while conducting the research.
Noticing that Sophie had been observing them for quite some time, Barney handed the research over to the newbies and walked up to her.
“What do you think of the newcomers?” Since Sophie had a keen eye for talent, he decided to seek her opinion on the newly-hired researchers.
The newly-hired researchers were still interns at the moment, so he could just replace them if they weren’t performing well.
Work was extremely tough and complicated at the medical association, so not everyone could undertake the job. They would have to filter every single candidate thoroughly to make sure they picked
the right ones for the job.
“Let’s observe them for a little while longer.”
Sophie didn’t have any comments about the new researchers for the time being, but their performance wasn’t as great as she had expected either.
“Yeah, I agree. They all have their respective shortcomings.” Barney, too, believed they should continue observing the newbies a little more before making a decision.
“I’ll go work on my experiment now, Dr. Smith.” Barney had put her in charge of an experiment the moment she returned.
Since it was her first time coming over two days after returning to work, she felt a need to pick up the pace.
“That experiment of yours is a very complex one. I could spend a month on it and still fail to produce any results. We’re in no hurry, so just take your time with it.”
He didn’t want her overworking herself immediately after recovering from her leg injury.
“Got it.”
Dr. Smith is under a lot of pressure right now. The International Medical Association is also researching this new disease, and Dr. Smith would end up in a very difficult position if we don’t produce results before they do!
With that in mind, Sophie made her way into the laboratory and tied her hair up with an elastic band. She looked a lot livelier with her long hair neatly tied in a ponytail.
Arius came over to help out when he heard that she had started working on the experiment.
“You can go ahead and work on your own research. It’s my first time conducting this experiment, so I don’t even know if it is going to work,” Sophie said, cognizant of her own capability.
Besides, scientific experiments like these required repeated testing, so it wasn’t something she could finish in one go.
“Yeah, I know that. I’m just here to check on things. Just let me know if you ever need my help with anything.”
Having worked in the International Medical Association for a very long time, Arius was confident in his ability to help out with a lot of things.
“Don’t you have your own work to do?” Sophie asked. They both had their own respective research and experiments to work on, all of which were highly complex.
That was the reason they had their own laboratories instead of having to share one with the newly- hired researchers outside.
“I was just worried about your leg injury. You have yet to make a full recovery, so make sure to be careful, okay?” Arius reminded her.
Honestly, Dr. Smith should’ve waited a few more days before assigning her any work!
“My legs are fine, so you don’t have to worry about me,” Sophie replied nonchalantly as she started working on her experiment. She wasn’t the least bit worried about her injury.
For some reason, Arius found himself unable to take his eyes off her even though she was just conducting a boring experiment. Her beauty was such a sight for sore eyes, no matter what she was doing.
“Hey, Sophie! I just realized how much of a beauty you are!” Arius exclaimed all of a sudden. How did I not notice this before?
Sophie decided to ignore his statement and carried on with her experiment.
Seriously? We’ve known each other for a really long time. Why would he only realize that now?
“Tristan sure is a lucky guy! I bet he must’ve been some kind of hero or something in his past life!” Arius mumbled with a sigh. Sophie was like a little sister to him, and now that she was getting married, he couldn’t help feeling sentimental.
