After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 3

Eight years ago, when she left the research institute to become Gideon's secretary, her professor, deeply disappointed in her wasted potential, had asked her countless times why she was doing it.

"Don't you realize how many patients will go without treatment because of you?"-

Of course, Aria had her own reasons she couldn't explain.

She turned her back to her professor, wiped away her tears, and left him with a single, cold sentence, "Because medicine doesn't make money."

"I want lots and lots of money."

They parted on bad terms.

Because of that, Aria wasn't sure if her professor would even take her back now.

A moment later, a reply came: [This isn't a place you can just come and go as you please.]

Rejection was to be expected.

But then another message followed immediately.

[However, I will be attending a medical conference next month.]

Aria understood. Her professor was giving her a way back in.

To re-establish her connection with him, she had to attend that conference as well.

[Okay, thank you, Professor. I'll see you then.]

Her professor didn't tell her the specific time or content of the conference. He wanted her to find it herself, to test her ability and sincerity.

After all these years working with Gideon, Aria hadn't completely given up on medicine.

She messaged her assistant, asking them to compile information on all the medical conferences her professor was involved in.

Given her professor's status as a titan in the medical field, it wouldn't be hard to find. She just needed to understand his current research focus and prepare in advance.

This time, she couldn't afford any mistakes.
