    After hearing his words, he knew almost everything he wanted to know.


    “Thanks for the information. The food is my gift”, I said and got up to pay the bill.


    However, Boris followed me and said: “You are Dr. Woods. I’m sorry I didn’t admit it sooner.”


    His attitude changed a lot. He looked at me with respect in his eyes and continued: “I didn’t expect


    such a genius to appear in front of me. And you look…” “


    How do I look?”


    I stopped my steps and turned to look at him.


    His face flushed a little as he scratched his cheek with his fingers, he looked at me nervously and


    stumbled: “You look beautiful.”


    “Thank you,” I replied.


    But when I turned around, I rolled my eyes.Thought all pretty girls were stupid? The fact was quite the


    opposite. I met many beauties who focused on self-improvement, like Cinder.


    I left the Mexican restaurant with the intention of going to the ce where Nick and David lived. Boris


    gave chase and followed me, saying, “Are you going to meet Nick now? I can take you there.”


    “Thanks, but I know where he lives.”


    “Have you been there before?”


    “No.”


    “Let me take you there.”


    Boris became more motivated. And I didn’t reject it after thinking about it. He was excited along the way


    and he asked me a lot about the molecr pathology hypothesis that he had proposed.And she was


    even more sorry than I was that she wasn’ting to Harvard to continue her research with Nick. But


    when she found out about the drug he was currently developing, she was excited all over again.


    “I know TWH! It’s hard to get into his thirdb there. Turns out you went there!”


    Boris nearly jumped into the air.


    I took the opportunity to emphasize: “Nick is more capable than me. When I broke up with my ex a few


    years ago, he had been depressed for a long time. And Nick carried my workload and ensured the


    progress of the experiment by himself.” Boris’s excitement subsided . He wanted to say something, but


    he wasn’t sure if it was appropriate.


    “Please say what you want to say. I want to know more about Nick’s situation to find out how bad the


    problem is.”


    I knew his concerns and said directly, “I can’t understand why the people in the frontier research


    institute of such a famous university couldn’t see gold shine because of gossip.”


    Boris heard the meaning of my words, so he struggled and said, “After all, that is Professor Ford.”


    I got even more upset. However, he was angry with himself. I felt disgusted because I had admired


    such a per*ert in the past!


    Fortunately, hisb had been full back then. Otherwise I wouldn’t have met Nick and now I would have


    been kept in the dark.And my academic career would have been destroyed too!


    “I acknowledge Professor Ford’s academic achievements. But it’s stupid to equate skill with character.”


    I suddenly thought of Aaron and said, “I have two acquaintances who have known him for a long time.


    And they both say that he is not a good guy.


    Aaron had reminded me to keep me away from David. However, he hadn’t taken it seriously back then.


    Seeing David’s strange attitude towards Aaron, I guessed that they had old grudges. After all, Aaron


    was bad…


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    tempered and he looked down on a lot of people just the same. Therefore, when I heard that Nick was


    dating David, I was a bit surprised and worried, but still sent my best wishes.


    After introspecting, I found that I had been too naive back then!


    “Mr. Boris.”


    Suddenly I stopped my steps and looked into his hazel eyes.


    “Call me Boris,” he emphasized.


    “Okay, Boris. Please don’t tell Nick I asked about him. I n to have a good talk with him in person.”


    “No problem,” he agreed immediately.


    Not far away was Nick’s residence, so I said goodbye to Boris with the intention of leaving.


    Boris stopped me and said, “Olive, can I buy you dinner over Christmas break? We can also meet after


    Christmas.


    I immediately knew what he meant, so I said, “I have a boyfriend.”


    “Come on. Don’t fool me.”Boris said in disbelief: “If you had a boyfriend, you wouldn’t havee to


    visit your friend *ay on


    Christmas vacation.”


    “Why not? Nick is my best friend. He got himself into trouble that he can’t solve on his own. So I have


    to go help him.”


    She no longer wanted to talk to Boris. He was just like David. Both had great academic abilities but bad


    tempers. He needed to be educated. Otherwise, he would have told her to mind his own business.


    Arriving at the postdoctoral apartment building, I quickly found Nick’s residence. He had bragged to


    Cinder and me when she moved here and invited us to visit him.I could still find the chat history on my


    phone, but everything had changed after just half a year.


    After ringing the doorbell, a familiar voice asked, “Who’s there?”


    I hadn’t heard Nick’s voice for half a year, so my eyes suddenly watered.


    It sounded lifeless.


    I suppressed my emotions and forced myself to answer in a calm voice: “Me”.


    When he suddenly stopped turning the doorknob, I tried to push the door open. But he pushed him


    from inside and asked in a nervous tone, “Why are you here?”


    I was upset and pushed the door open, asking: “


    But I froze at the sight of his face.


    She had a bruise around her right eyebrow and a Band-Aid on her cheek. And he had be much


    thinner than before.


    “He hit you?”


    I instantly flew into a rage.


    “No, you misunderstood. I identally fell down.”


    After hurriedly pushing me ninjanovel way, he lowered his head in depression.


    “Are you still lying? People don’t get hurt like that and then fall down!”


    He was furious when I asked him, “Nick, if he hadn’te to see you, you would never tell me the


    truth, would you?”


    “David didn’t hit me!”


    Nick was still defending David, but his words were lies to my ears. I didn’t believe him! It must be David


    who abused him!


    “Let’s not talk about such things now. Didn’t you say you were going to spend Christmas with your


    boyfriend? Why did youe here today? Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! You should run back, right?”

    “Don’t try to change the subject. What’s going on here? I went to your research institute and they told


    me that you have been out for several days. Everyone seems to think that you got the job there


    because of your rtionship with David. They don’t even know you’re a real talent.”


    As I kept asking questions, suddenly there was a sound of a key being inserted into the lock outside


    the door.


    Nick pursed his lips nervously, stared at me, and said, “He’s back! You have to hide!”
