How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 517

Preparations for this nationwide talent selection had been underway for a whole year, though very few people knew about it back then.

Now, finally settling her nerves, Elodie managed a soft laugh. “You don’t need to worry about all that on my account.”

There was no deep-seated grudge between her and Naylor. At most, it was a matter of prejudice, and she wasn’t so petty as to let a few careless words drag on and cause Klein unnecessary concern.

Klein sighed. “That kid is one thing, but on a bigger scale, I just don’t want to see someone as talented as you go unnoticed. I honestly think you could take over for Charlie one day.”

Elodie let out a quiet breath. “Thank you. I understand.”

She ended the call.

Her mind began racing.

Alexander looked over, already piecing things together from the hints he’d caught. He’d heard whispers about this ever since last year.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Alexander said, walking over. “It gives you the perfect excuse to move into some of the top departments. Not bad, Elodie—this kind of exception doesn’t come often.”

Elodie felt a rush of emotion.

After Elias had told her there was a real chance she could recover, everything seemed possible again. Now, hearing news like this, she could only feel pure joy.

She had a chance to keep pursuing her passion, to shine in her own field. Perhaps, before she knew her health was improving, she would’ve turned it down. But now...

“I’ve decided—I’m signing up.” Elodie drew a deep breath and made her decision, crisp and clear.

Alexander clapped his hands. “It’s a great idea. You’ll get to see what the talent pool’s like here, get a feel for how other researchers think. Your mind’s sharp—it’s perfect for you.”
