The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1378

Chapter 1378
After a long gaze, Henry spoke up.
“I know you want me to accept the award and feel like it’s an
honor that belongs to me, but I don’t really care about these
things. As long as the patients recover using the medicine I developed, that’s all that matters.”
“But…”
Stella wanted to say something, but Henry interrupted her
with a smile. “I have a great talent for drug research. Even if
I don’t win the award this time, I will definitely win it next time as long as I don’t give up on medical research in my lifetime…”
At that moment, the afternoon sunlight streamed through the glass windows and cast a faint golden glow on Henry, making him shine brightly.
Looking at Henry like this, Stella nodded proudly. “I believe you will be able to develop other medicines, but what about your
reputation…”
He saw her regret, but Henry reassured her, “As long as you believe in me, that’s all that matters. Reputation is just something people talk about, it’s not important at all.”
After saying that, Henry spoke to Stella again, “The medical system is quite complicated, involving too many people and interests. Don’t drag Alpha into this, and don’t compete with the expert’s student for my sake. I’m afraid if it continues, doctors might lose their licenses. Let me stay here and do research at the pharmaceutical company. After all, I’m more suited for studying drugs than performing surgery. What do you think…”
Stella could actually tell that Henry still liked performing surgery, but what he said made sense. Given the current situation, they could only let Henry endure for a while. “Henry, don’t worry, I will find evidence to prove your innocence. Then you can return to this hospital with your head held high.”
Henry smiled and nodded. Afterwards, as Stella watched, he returned to his office. When he packed his things, the doctors from the same department avoided him, not saying a word. Only after Henry left did they gather together and gossip.
Out of sight, out of mind. Henry understood this principle and didn’t let it bother him. Carrying a cardboard box, he left the hospital. When he sat in his car and looked up, he happened to see Stella, dressed in a white coat, standing in the scorching sun, gazing at him from a distance.
Henry’s eyes welled up with tears, but he didn’t roll down the car window. He waved goodbye to Stella. At this stage,
because of Eric’s presence, they could only be considered colleagues. Until they put Eric in jail, every approach and reluctant farewell from Henry would only hurt Stella.
He always knew how to restrain himself, how to respect, how
to protect. However, the result he got was losing Stella. But does Henry regret it? He definitely doesn’t regret it. After
all, from the moment he caught a glimpse of her during the lecture, he was destined to give his heart and soul to her.
