I Stopped Waiting and Started Loving novel Chapter 221

Bonnie looked at the esteemed legend of the traditional medicine world and hesitated no longer.

She had thought it through entirely. Gideon Graves had deep-rooted influence within the National Medical Council, and she was just an unlicensed doctor without a certificate to her name.

Back then, Gideon had plotted to ruin her grandfather, tearing the Hayes family apart. She hadn't forgotten that blood debt for a single day.

Trying to clear her grandfather's name on her own would be like fighting an impossible battle.

She needed a powerful backer—someone Gideon couldn't touch and who wouldn't be dragged down by her vendetta.

And Nathaniel was the perfect choice.

Before, she had been terrified her grudges would drag others down. But now, with Nathaniel's approval, she wasn't as afraid.

Taking a deep breath, Bonnie met Nathaniel's gaze with unwavering resolve and gave a firm nod.

"I do, Mr. Thorne."

She paused and respectfully corrected herself. "No, Mentor."

Nathaniel froze for a second before a brilliant smile bloomed across his face, smoothing out his wrinkles.

"Hahaha! Good! Excellent!"

The old man slapped the table in delight. "In a few days, your senior peers will be flying back from all over. We'll hold a formal induction ceremony then. For today, let's just chat."

Bonnie pressed her lips together, finally asking the question that had been gnawing at her. "Mentor, how did you... meet my grandfather back then?"

Nathaniel's gaze grew distant, as if he were sinking deep into his memories.

"That's a long story. It happened over fifty years ago."

The old man chuckled, gentle creases forming at the corners of his eyes.

"I had just started working as a doctor at a clinic. I was young, arrogant, and thought I was a hotshot."
