CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1860

“Come, sit down. I hear you’re one of Wilfred’s students? I know him well. His students are practically my own,” Professor Cruz said with a warm smile the moment Karina sat down, catching her off guard.

“You know Dr. Wilfred?” she blurted out, then immediately realized how silly the question sounded. Of course, they knew each other. How else could Wilfred have arranged for her to attend the lecture?

Professor Cruz chuckled, unbothered by her slip. Instead, he found her straightforwardness rather refreshing.

As he looked at her, he let out a sigh, seemingly lost in thought. “Good, good… I had thought that kid might…” He trailed off, speaking more to himself than to Karina.

Karina didn’t catch his last comment.

“I hear from Wilfred that you’re here to discuss your paper?” Professor Cruz asked, steering the conversation back. “Did you bring it with you?”

“Yes, I did,” Karina said quickly, pulling out her paper with care and handing it over.

Professor Cruz slipped on a pair of reading glasses and began reviewing it meticulously, making thoughtful “hmm” sounds as he read.

Karina, nervous, felt her palms grow damp. Unable to bear the silence, she said shyly, “It’s my first paper, so it’s probably full of mistakes. I hope you won’t find it too laughable, Professor.”

Hearing that, Professor Cruz glanced up, surprised. “What? Not at all. I think it’s very well done.”

Karina’s eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn’t expected such high praise from someone of his stature. It felt like a monumental compliment.

She stammered, “But… the Association said my paper wasn’t good enough.”
