But as soon as Lydia left the office, the others crowded around to check out the questions. All they could do was stare at each other, totally confused.
What?
Lydia stepped into the competition hall just as the bell sounded. The place felt huge, almost like a concert stadium, and suddenly, it seemed like every single person there was watching her.
That’s Lydia.
First place in the morning round.
She ignored all the stares. Pulling her loose ponytail tighter, she glanced over to where her team was sitting and made her way there.
Once she sat down, Lydia glanced at the judges’ table. Lucy and Anders were already in their seats.
The question committee was whispering among themselves, probably stumped by the three problems Lydia had written earlier.
Chief examiner Emerson cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses. “We’re starting the first challenge: How to use a robot for clinical case simulation.”
As soon as the big screen lit up, Lydia heard people around her gasp.
The scan showed a web of blood vessels tangled deep in brain tissue, black and twisted like a spiderweb dipped in ink. It was a world-class medical puzzle—a rare case of brain arteriovenous malformation with an aneurysm.
“Each team has thirty minutes to come up with a surgical plan and explain the possible risks during the operation.”
Lydia’s finger had just brushed the buzzer when the team from Country D beat her to it.
Noah, his white coat collar open a little, spoke with a calm that felt a bit too practiced. “The case is extremely complex. We recommend a classic open craniotomy, using microsurgical tools to slowly separate the abnormal vessels.”
A few scattered claps came from the audience.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
