Chapter 191: Chapter 191 The Professor’s Surprise

​Director Hayes walked side by side with Veyra through the central courtyard of the university campus.

​The warm afternoon sun stretched across the wide brick pathways. Clusters of students hurried past them, carrying heavy backpacks and laptops under their arms while chatting loudly between classes. Surrounding the green lawn were old, imposing buildings built from dark stone, their tall walls covered in thick ivy.

​"The main research facilities are situated right through this section," Director Hayes said gently. "I can take you on a quick tour of the grounds before you head home today."

​Veyra nodded respectfully. "Thank you, Director. I would appreciate that."

​She followed the older woman through a high stone archway that opened into a wide, quiet plaza. Standing directly ahead was a striking, modern building made almost entirely of steel and tempered glass. It had sharp lines, visible solar roofing panels, and heavily guarded security gates at every entrance point. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

​"This is our pride and joy," Director Hayes explained, gesturing toward the entrance. "The Etland Medical University Research Institute."

​They stepped through the automated glass doors into the main lobby.

​The interior was flooded with bright, natural sunlight that reflected off polished white floors and spotless glass panels. The air smelled faintly of fresh disinfectant and rubbing alcohol. Nearby, a front reception desk sat next to a digital security checkpoint where staff members scanned their ID badges.

​"This location serves as the central hub where our university cultivates top scientific research talent," Director Hayes said as they walked slowly through the space. "Our teams focus primarily on high-level medical and pharmaceutical projects that impact public health."

​Veyra’s eyes drifted across the framed display boards mounted along the walls. They were filled with detailed charts, clinical trial summaries, drug development pipelines, genetic studies, and advanced cardiac research diagrams.

​"This place is truly incredible," Veyra murmured, her eyes taking in every detail.

​"It stands as one of the top research facilities in the entire country," Director Hayes replied with pride.

​Director Hayes led her further down a quiet, well-lit corridor lined with specialized laboratories.

​"Every single year, our institute conducts an open recruitment drive for dedicated medical and pharmaceutical students," the director explained. "Under normal circumstances, our selection panel focuses almost exclusively on senior graduate candidates, such as master’s students or doctoral researchers."

​She paused near a glass wall, turning back to face Veyra.

​"However, we also reserve a small number of positions for exceptionally talented undergraduate students."

​Veyra felt her pulse quicken in her chest. "Undergraduate students can get accepted as well?"

​"Yes," Director Hayes confirmed with a warm smile. "Provided they display outstanding practical skills and pass our preliminary background reviews."

​They stopped in front of a wide observation window. On the other side, several lab technicians dressed in clean white coats moved methodically around scientific benches. Some were looking through high-powered microscopes, others were typing data into terminals, and a few were monitoring complex filtration machines Veyra had only ever read about in textbooks.

​"Of course, most newly admitted students begin by performing basic entry-level tasks after joining a lab team," Director Hayes noted realistically. "They sterilize glassware, organize raw data sheets, prepare baseline chemical solutions, and assist senior researchers with basic prep work."

​Veyra nodded along, her eyes fixed on the busy scientists inside.

​"Even so, they gain invaluable hands-on research experience early in their careers," Director Hayes added. "And the position comes with a decent monthly salary."

​Veyra’s eyes sparkled with quiet ambition, her heart hammering against her ribs.

​She wanted this opportunity more than anything. She wanted to stand in one of those sparkling labs, wear a white coat, learn advanced techniques, and run real chemical tests. She wanted to contribute her own knowledge, expand her understanding of herbal chemistry, and build a meaningful future through her own hard work.

​Looking at the researchers through the window, she found herself deeply looking forward to her upcoming enrollment at the Medical and Pharmaceutical University.

​Director Hayes observed the intense drive in Veyra’s posture and smiled softly. She reached into her leather shoulder bag and pulled out a clean, thick manila folder.

​"Before you leave the grounds today," Director Hayes said gently, "I believe this officially belongs to you."

​Veyra reached out with trembling fingers and took the folder into her hands.

​Her heart pounded loudly in her ears as she unbuckled the clasp and pulled out the crisp white document hidden inside. The letterhead was stamped with the official, raised golden seal of the board of regents right at the top.

​Dear Mrs. Solenne,

​We are deeply pleased to inform you that you have officially been granted admission into the advanced Medicinal Chemistry program at the Etland University of Medicine for the upcoming academic year...

​Veyra read the printed lines once. Then she read them a second time, her eyes tracing every letter to ensure she was not dreaming.

​She had really been accepted. The admission was official, absolute, and verified.

​She was officially enrolled in Medicinal Chemistry.

​A sudden surge of heat rushed behind her eyes, and warm tears welled up along her lower lashes.

​In that quiet hallway, her mind flashed back to her late mother, the courageous woman who had believed in her potential, protected her from harm, and left behind the strange black stone.

​She pictured her grandmother, the kind woman who had raised her through hardship, taught her how to read her very first words, and eventually passed away alone in a cold hospital room while Veyra struggled to gather funds.

​She thought of Professor Julian, the eccentric old man who had recognized her raw gift for chemistry when everyone else ignored her, gave her private lessons, and offered his messy basement for her experiments when she had nowhere else to go.

​She had not let a single one of them down. She had survived the pain and carved out her own path.
