The two professors from Capital College straightened up, their pride obvious.
They had to admit, the Capital Med School professor was being realistic about the situation. Daisy’s potential was clear. She was a rising star, someone they’d all noticed. As for Lydia, the national top scorer… Well, they’d admired her at first, but what good was a talented student if she wasn’t on their team? Now that Lydia had made such a dramatic bet with Daisy, of course their support went to Daisy.
Besides, even Lydia’s own professor didn’t seem to believe in her anymore. No wonder everyone else felt the same way. As far as they were concerned, Lydia was destined to lose.
“Dominick, I’m not trying to brag, but Daisy really is the best among the new students. Maybe you could talk Lydia out of this bet. Otherwise, if she loses, it’s not just her reputation at stake—it’s Capital Med School’s reputation too.” Professor Stellan from Capital College sounded almost fatherly in his concern.
Professor Angelo nodded. “He’s right, Dominick. These academic competitions are supposed to be friendly. With a bet this big, no matter who loses, it’s a shame for either side to lose such a talented student.”
Their words sounded polite, but their eyes were full of smugness, like they already knew Lydia was finished. Dominick could feel his blood pressure rising. He couldn’t snap at them, so he swallowed his anger and turned it on Lydia instead.
“I’m calling the principal about this,” he said sharply.
Desmond watched all of this and almost rolled his eyes. They were making such a fuss over nothing.
“Dominick, if they want to compete, let them. It’ll make things more exciting for everyone,” Desmond suggested. As a professor from the International Medical Research Institute, he carried more weight than most.
Dominick couldn’t exactly ignore him, so he forced a smile. “This might seem small, but it could get out of hand. Let me check with the principal first.” He pulled out his phone and walked away to call Kevin.
Dominick knew Kevin valued talent. He wanted to keep the nation’s top scorer in their program. But Lydia was so stubborn, insisting on challenging the legacy student from a famous medical family. If this blew up, Capital Med School would have to clean up the mess. She was just too reckless.

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