Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 190

“Take this home and give it a read, Roseanne. School officially starts in September, and it wouldn't hurt to get a rough idea of your research focus before joining the lab group. That way, you won't be completely in the dark.”

Roseanne glanced at the stack of papers in her hands and nodded. “Don't worry, I'll get up to speed as quickly as possible. I won’t let you down!”

Seeing her determination, Madeleine chuckled. “Do I have any reason to doubt you?”

“I watched your interview video. Over the years, I’ve sometimes worried whether you’d be able to keep up with the current pace of research.”

She patted Roseanne on the shoulder. “But after watching your interview, I realized you haven’t missed a beat.”

And the way you tackled that question from Owen was a pleasant surprise.

To put it bluntly, not even a third-year grad student could have answered it better.

It’s not just about whether the answer was right or wrong, but the way you demonstrated your thought process and logical skills.

“You're my student, and nobody knows better than I do about your talents and excellence. You have what it takes, you know?”

…

Their conversation was cut short when Ms. Payne received a phone call and had to leave.

Carrying the stack of papers, Roseanne walked home, lost in thought about her teacher’s words.

It hadn’t always been easy. There were times she doubted herself, afraid of failing and messing things up.
