I Stopped Waiting and Started Loving novel Chapter 265

The official livestream had started early, and the viewer count was skyrocketing, quickly breaking past ten thousand.

The live chat was equally chaotic:

[This setup is massive! President Graves taking on an apprentice is truly on another level!]

[Who is Seraphina? She looks so young, but I heard her thesis was incredible!]

[To be accepted as President Graves's final apprentice, she definitely isn't ordinary!]

Gideon Graves wore a dark traditional suit today. Sitting next to the head table, surrounded by endless flattery, his smile never faded for a second.

"Congratulations, President Graves. To find such a talented apprentice right before retirement is truly a blessing."

"Indeed, this isn't something just anyone can achieve. Ms. Miller is young, beautiful, and brilliant. Her future is limitless."

"With a ceremony like this, the entire medical community knows President Graves has found a worthy successor."

Gideon soaked it all in, feeling utterly satisfied while feigning modesty. "You flatter me. Seraphina does have some talent, but she's still young. She'll need time to hone her skills."

Despite his words, the sheer pride in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Especially when he remembered that the old fossil, Nathaniel Thorne, was also taking an apprentice today, but was doing it in absolute obscurity. The thought made Gideon feel even more victorious.

Wasn't life all about fighting for that one breath of pride?

Nathaniel had overshadowed him for half his life. Now, in his twilight years, Gideon could finally crush him in glory with this grand ceremony.

Seraphina wore an ivory silk dress today. The tailoring was form-fitting but understated, giving her an elegant and refined aura.

Her makeup was flawless—soft brows and a light lip color that perfectly captured the essence of an aristocratic female physician.

But only she knew how fiercely the ambition burned behind her eyes.

She had never imagined she would experience a day like this.

A hall full of elite guests here just for her, media lenses focused on her, thousands discussing her online—even her parents and relatives were seated in VIP spots, their faces glowing with pride.
