Unlike the turbulence in the capital city, the entire Creephia University seemed to be immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
When Zachary returned home, he was still a bit dazed. He stood in front of his familiar villa and couldn't believe that he was about to leave Creephia University and enter the top medical institution that countless people around the world had been striving for.
Zachary took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement before walking into the hall, ready to greet his parents with joy and care. He thought that his parents must have heard the news with all the publicity going on.
However, when he walked into the living room, he saw his father and mother sitting on the sofa, one reading the newspaper while the other was watching a TV drama. They didn't seem excited at all.
Zachary hesitated for a moment, then walked up to his mother and called out, "Mom."
Zachary's mother reluctantly raised her head from the drama and paid attention to her son. "Why did you come back so early today?"
Zachary said seriously, "I'm going to study at the International Alliance."
Zachary's mother blinked, then flicked her fingers and said somewhat hesitantly, "Is the study pressure too much? Are you having hallucinations?"
Zachary remained silent.
Zachary's mother showed a "I understand" expression and touched her son's face with love. "Sweetie, I am powerless in this matter, but if it's a medical team in Creephia University, you can still get in. If worse comes to worst, I will donate a few more buildings..."
Zachary felt a bit exhausted.
After Zachary's mother finished speaking, she happily went back to watching the drama.
Zachary was silent for a moment, then walked up to his father with a more serious attitude. "Dad, I'm going to study at the Medical Alliance."
Zachary's father patted his son's shoulder after comforting him. "Son, I believes that you will definitely achieve your life goals in ten years."
Zachary remained silent.
After comforting his son, Zachary's father continued to analyze the economic situation for the year.
Zachary looked at his unreliable parents and finally made a dying struggle by calling his older brother. When the phone was connected, Zachary spoke with unprecedented seriousness and solemnly announced, "Brother, I'm going to study at the Medical Alliance!"
On the other end of the phone, the eldest son of the Gibson family, had a low voice. "Haven't you woken up yet?"
Zachary was speechless.
When Billy arrived, he saw Zachary lying on the sofa and his uncle and aunt watching the financial news and TV dramas. Billy frowned, walked over, and kicked his cousin. "What time is it? Why are you still lazing around?"
Billy choked and looked at his cousin with indescribable emotions, then casually dropped a bombshell, "Oh, this kid got into the Medical Alliance, he might have to study at the International Alliance in the future..."
Zachary's mother, "..."
Zachary's father, "..."
The atmosphere on the scene was quite quiet.
After a long while, Zachary's mother sat up straight, looking full of sorrow and asked, "How many buildings do we need to donate from our family to send this kid to the International Alliance?"
Zachary, "... I'm sorry, I've embarrassed the Gibson family!"
Billy also felt exhausted.
Billy decided not to get involved anymore and said to Zachary, "We are inviting Lady Selena for dinner tonight, remember to call and inform her in advance."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Zachary took out his phone and sent a message to Selena.
