Kaia ignored his reply, but she knew Finnian had most likely taken her words to heart.
Sure enough, a little while later, Brynlee sent her a short video. She was sitting cross-legged on Finnian's lap, humming a tune, her bright eyes shining like clear jewels.
"Mommy, what are you doing right now? Are you by yourself? Is Uncle Silas with you?" Brynlee was clearly a bit bored, hijacking Finnian's phone to pepper Kaia with questions.
Kaia texted back: "I just got off the plane a little while ago. We're all resting in our own rooms."
"Oh, okay. Take good care of yourself! I'll miss you," Brynlee said in her sweet, childish voice.
"I will. Thank you, sweetheart." Kaia chatted with her daughter casually for a bit while booting up her laptop. It was time to start researching the equipment they needed to purchase.
The next morning, at a massive medical device exhibition in Germany.
Inside the cavernous hall, cutting-edge medical technology gleamed with cold metallic brilliance under the bright lights.
Kaia stood fully focused in front of a newly developed surgical navigation system. She listened intently to the German engineer's presentation through a translation earpiece, occasionally interjecting with highly technical questions.
"Kaia, what do you think?" Miles suddenly approached from the side.
He was holding a technical brochure provided by the vendor. Behind the gold rims of his glasses, his gaze rested softly and attentively on her face.
Kaia frowned slightly in thought. "The engineer focused heavily on the system's latency issues. I think we need to evaluate this carefully."
From the other side, Silas's voice chimed in. "The Germans love pushing precision to the absolute limit, but clinical applicability is a real concern here."
Kaia nodded in agreement. "Latency has to be kept to the millisecond level. Otherwise, the risks during neurosurgery are catastrophic."
"Exactly," Miles agreed, his tone professional. "But honestly, when I took my team to an expo in Japan last time, their systems couldn't even compare to this one—especially when it comes to real-time compensation for tissue deformation."
Silas glanced at Miles, then turned back to the German engineer. "Can the sampling frequency be increased any further?"
The engineer immediately launched into a detailed explanation.
Kaia stared closely at the data curves displaying on the screen. Silas suddenly leaned in, standing right behind her shoulder to get a better look. From an outsider's perspective, the proximity looked rather intimate.
Miles noticed the shift, his eyes darkening slightly.
He quickly moved to break the moment. "Kaia, I remember you did clinical trials on a similar system back when you were overseas. That data would be a fantastic benchmark for evaluating this."
Kaia paused. Before she could answer, Silas laughed and smoothly cut in. "That data has already been compiled. Once we're back in the States, we'll schedule a dedicated task force meeting to dive into it."
Miles took a quiet, deep breath.
"Compatibility is the core issue here," Kaia said flatly, turning her attention to the equipment's interface ports.

Please update soon. This story is good. And I'm hoping it won't go till 2000 chapters.. Although it's current slow pace is telling....
