Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 721

They were coming, no doubt, to announce the list of those who had been selected, and once again, they cast envious glances at Flora. She had scored perfect marks, making her acceptance into the National Medical Academy a sure thing. More than that, the academy would surely invest heavily in her training. Her future achievements were, without a doubt, immeasurable.

Joy stood atop the five steps, her gaze sweeping over the crowd. When her eyes landed on Flora, she paused, a flicker of jealousy passing through her eyes. The thought of Flora scoring perfect marks churned her insides as if a meat grinder were at work. She could not let her enter the National Medical Academy.

Thinking of the task Abbey had entrusted her with, Joy sneered to herself. Flora, enjoy your moment now. Soon, you will fall from grace!

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to stop thinking about Flora, and began to address the matter at hand: "First of all, congratulations to everyone for completing the exams. Whether or not you've made it into the National Medical Academy, I hope none of you lose heart. There's always next year!"

"This time, fifteen people have passed the written test. The specific list is as follows—"

At these words, a collective groan filled the air. No way, only fifteen people? Typically, the written test would accept thirty applicants; this time, they had cut it in half. Moreover, among these fifteen, there would be interviews and a competition with internal members of the National Medical Academy. Thus, only two or three people would ultimately participate in the Medical Championship on Lone Island.

Shawn's expression darkened; he was ranked twenty-sixth. Under the usual practice of accepting thirty applicants from the written test, he would have just made it into the interview. But with the numbers halved, he stood no chance.
