Chapter 457 Granddaughter âLet me put it simply.â
Professor Turner stepped out of the car. Despite his small stature, he looked up at Jeffrey with an unwavering demeanor.
âI saved your life once. But back then, it was Melanieâs grandfather who saved mine. I inherited many of my medical insights from him. Melanie is closer to me than my own granddaughter. So, tell me, who should I see, her or you?â
Jeffrey was once again taken aback. When he thought about it, there would be no Professor Turner without Melanieâs grandfather. His fatal accident would have undoubtedly been the end of him.
âProfessor Turner, today is the first time Iâve learned that my grandfather also saved you!â Melanie exclaimed in surprise.
âThatâs ancient history.â
Professor Turner waved his hand, reminiscing about his longâdeparted old companion with a touch of sadness. âBack then, I discovered a medical treatment in modern medicine that could tackle complex diseases. I insisted on delving into its research, but your grandfather didnât approve.
âFrom that day on, we went our separate ways. He never let me see him before he passed away....
It seems he still blamed me...â
âI think youâve misunderstood,â Melanie said. âMy grandfather fell ill suddenly and passed away quickly. None of us had the chance to see him one last time. But I remember he once said you were intelligent and had a remarkable understanding.
âHe believed that even if you switched paths to study modern medicine halfway, you would surely achieve something. And look, he was right.â
âWhen did he say that? Did he really say that?â Professor Turner asked with interest.
âHe really did. I wouldnât lie to you, Professor Turner. My grandfather used to say it while teaching me about herbs in the courtyard.â
Professor Turnerâs eyes shimmered briefly, revealing his deep respect for Melanieâs grandfather.
After years of striving, the acknowledgment of Melanieâs grandfather was still what he yearned for +15 BONOS Professor Turner lowered his head and waved his hand with a smile. He changed the subject and said, âOh, Iâve told you that weâre in a different era now, right? Donât call me âProfessor Turnerâ anymore. I am now internationally renowned as Dr. TIâ
âOkay, Dr. T.â Melanie couldnât help but chuckle.
She glanced at the gates of the York family and said, âSince youâve come to treat Yelena, why hesitate at the doorstep? Is there a possibility for you to sit down and talk about what happened between you and the York family In the past?â
âThatâs impossible!â Professor Turner refused without a second thought.
âI can treat Yelena for your sake, but only if you bring her to my turf. I swore I wouldnât set foot in the York estate again!â
âAlright, Iâll go in and explain the situation. Wait here for me, okay?â
Seeing Professor Turnerâs determination, Melanie could only agree reluctantly. She turned to Jeffrey and said, âItâs been a while since youâve seen him. You two can catch up while waiting here for me. Iâll be back soon.â
âTake care of yourself,â Jeffrey nodded.
As Melanie walked away, Professor Turner nudged Jeffrey with his elbow and asked in a low voice. âThe woman who caused you to change... Was it my granddaughter? Was it also her who underwent genetic engineering?â
Jeffrey nodded.
âPerfect. Later, weâll go to my research base and conduct a test on her to verify the truth,â Professor Turner said confidently.
âSheâs pregnant. Will this type of examination harm her?â Jeffrey asked cautiously, showing his true concerns in front of Professor Turner.
âSheâs pregnant?â Professor Turner raised his eyebrows, staring at Jeffrey.
âYes.â
âYours?â Professor Turner fixed his gaze on him.
Jeffrey pursed his lips tightly. âWho elseâs?â
Professor Turner continued to stare at him, then he sneered.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Jeffrey was puzzled.
