When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 396

Chapter 0396 

Both of them went into the console room. 

Miranda didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point. “Dr. Young, I think there’s an issue with your research approach.” 

She didn’t wait for Christine to respond and handed her a document before continuing, “Over t weekend, the three of us reviewed the current progress for this research project. 

“Besides that, we also went over the research background, experimental methods, specific data, and the conclusions from the previous two phases. In the end, we realized… 

Miranda looked up and met Christine’s gaze. “The third phase of the experiment might not be due to issues with the phase itself, but rather… the whole project may have been off track from the beginning.” 

The three of them had discovered the problem together, but Madison and Sebastian were too hesitant to speak up. So, Miranda had to be the one to deliver the bad news. 

Although Christine had fallen silent, she had no intention to stop there. 

Miranda pressed on, “I understand your tenacious and persistent personality. If you choose not to do something, you won’t. But once you do, you’re determined to see it through to the end. Even if it’s ultimately proven to be wrong, you’ll only give up after gathering enough data to back that conclusion,

Like the analogy of a car crash–if the driver had realized they were going too fast, they could just hit the brakes and prevent a disaster from happening. Why should they allow the crash to happen just to pro 

prove that someone could get killed? 

Christine sighed deeply. “I had wondered how long it would take for you all to notice the issue. A semester? A year or two? But I didn’t expect you three to catch it this quickly.” 

There was a mix of emotion and surprise in her eyes, but mostly it was pride in her students. Not only had they discovered the problem, but they had also backed it up with evidence. 

She patted the document Miranda handed to her, but she didn’t open it. Christine already knew that the data and conclusions inside were facts. They were indisputable. 

Miranda was taken aback. “Dr. Young, you…” 

“Did you really think I didn’t know the research approach was off?” Christine sighed. 

She might not have noticed at first, but the problems became more apparent as the research progressed. With her professional expertise, how could she have missed it? 

“Then why didn’t you….” Miranda hesitated. 

“Are y 

you going to ask why I didn’t stop it in time?” 

Miranda nodded as Christine’s gaze dimmed. “I’m not a good supervisor.

They had prepared for this research project four years ago. At that time, her health was already deteriorating. In addition, the blow of Miranda giving up her combined Master’s and Doctorate program further crushed her spirit.
