On the other side of the campus, a reporter was interviewing Brandy, the esteemed president of Summerfield College.
âMr. Brandy Charles, could you enlighten our viewers as to why Arabella, after being appointed as a professor at Summerfield College, still chose to pursue studies at Westerly College?â the reporter inquired.
Brandy, with a nonchalant air, responded, âWell, itâs all because someone played their cards right. They knew the girl had a passion for pharmacology, so they shelled out big bucks for the internationally renowned, top-tier pharmaceutical research instrument, the H30.â
You see, there were only two H30 machines in the entire worldâone housed in a foreign national research institute, and the other at Beck Bartonâs academy.
This H30 could catalyze a substantial leap in the quality and a massive increase in the quantity of pharmaceutical research.
The price tag? A cool 500 millionâa figure that, when converted for our viewers, would be a whopping 50 million dollars!
âOther than the H30, Mr. Beck also procured the X1, T2p, Y23, and the like, all housed in the research lab for Bella to use at her leisure. Of course, her medical skills were nurtured by him, and she's got a good heart. To repay his kindness and to join forces in the quest for more beneficial pharmaceuticals, she chose Westerly College.â
The crowd was astonished. The valedictorianâs choice of Westerly College had a backstory they hadnât anticipated!
They had been shortsighted, thinking the valedictorian was merely interested in medicine.
Little did they know, she was already in a position to collaborate with none other than President Beck of Westerly College.
And then, comments started pouring in on the trending topic online. [Iâm Arabellaâs university classmate. Though we werenât in the same class, I was there when she led our team in the intercollegiate competition. Someone challenged her, and she stepped up and dissected a cadaver right before us! Everyone was stunned. She was so calm, so professional, I couldnât help but admire her!]
Another classmate chimed in, [Back then, professors from the Summerfield College Department of Medicine wanted to snatch her up as their student. Members from the Summerfield and Solterra Medical Research Councils all invited her! They said she was a rare medical prodigy.]
Another message read, [Many of us thought she was not only brilliant and beautiful but also down-to-
earth and full of character. Students with stubborn colds or fevers would seek her out for acupuncture.
She was like a young miracle worker!]
At the banquet hall.
The reporter then approached President Beck of Westerly College. âEarlier, Phillip claimed that his and his wifeâs ailments were cured by Arabella. What are your thoughts on that?â
Beck Barton was less than pleased. What was there to think?
âWhat, those minor aches and pains? As if they could trouble my star student, Dr. Bell?â
The reporter was taken aback. âYou mean, Arabella is the legendary Dr. Bell who's rumored to revive the dead? But isnât Dr. Bell supposed to be a man?â
Brandy chuckled, âThat secret is out. Just look aroundâhow many here owe their health to Bellaâs healing hands?â
Barton glanced around, acknowledging the truth. Many of the guests present owed their well-being to Arabellaâs remarkable skills. New chÄ pter avаilable oÕ¸ DrÄ Ð¼anоvеls.cоm
