Chapter 282: Requesting Cheyenne to Return to ss
With the recent events settled, Cheyenne checked the time and saw it was almost 11 AM. Kate
suggested treating everyone to a meal at the campus cafeteria. Mr. Owen, being an amiable senior,
didn''t object, and Eddie found it to be a nice experience. After graduating from the university, he had
rarely eaten cafeteria food, and he was somewhat nostalgic about it.
Cheyenne, who had an absence of leave, had heard that this school''s cafeteria was exceptional,
but she never had the chance to have food there. Today, she eagerly epted the opportunity.
As for Omari and Iker, those two capable young men had their own means and wouldn''t starve.
Unusually, the cafeteria, which was often shunned by these rich second-generation students, was
bustling today. The cafeteria manager was perplexed and wondered what was happening.
Then, he saw Principal Shepard standing at the entrance. Startled, he hastily straightened his suit
and approached to greet him.
"Principal Shepard, you are indeed an approachable leader. Is there any specific instruction for
today?" Teachers in Akloit College had excellent benefits, with free meals in a separate, luxurious
cafeteria building. Even the chefs were top-tier.
Teaching these self-proimed elite-rich kids was expected to be a highly stressful job, but thanks
to the excellent benefits and the generous package that included food and lodging at Akloit College,
staff turnover was rare.
These school leaders rarely dined in the student cafeteria unless there was an inspection from
higher authorities. Thest inspection was less than half a month ago, so why was Principal
Shepard here again?
This time, he had brought an elderly gentleman and two young men, none of whom looked like
ordinary people.
Principal Shepard chuckled discreetly and whispered to the manager, "This is the secondrgest
member of the school board. Make sure the food is top-notch today. Tell the staff to keep their
hands steady."
Upon learning that the elderly gentleman was one of the school board members, he started to
sweat. It was no wonder Principal Shepard was being unusually gracious. This was one of the rich
and influential sponsors who had a major say in the survival of the school.
"Principal Shepard, rest assured, I... I''ll make sure everything is well-arranged."
Upstairs in the cafeteria had a Japanese-themed decor, elegant and serene, and the prices were
considerably higher.
Soon, the tables were filled with a variety of exquisite dishes. There were king crabs, Australian
lobsters, garlic-grilled oysters, and tomato fish. Cheyenne looked at the spread, and her appetite
was whetted.
She jokingly remarked, "If I had known the cafeteria was this good, I wouldn''t have dropped out."
"You can stille back to college now," Kate chimed in. She wouldn''t mind reliving those days of
going to school with Cheyenne. With Cheyenne around, even as the perennial second-best, she
was quite content.
Cheyenne shook her head, her golden spoon clinking against her te. She let out a cold huff. "No
need. There''s nothing in college that I want to learn. I don''t think they have anything to offer me."
This blunt statement caught Principal Shepard off guard. Akloit College was a top-tier university that
many people couldn''t even afford to dream about. Yet, it seemed "ipetent" to her?
What was even more shocking was Professor Owen''s following response. He smiled approvingly,
his eyes bright and somewhat eerie, as if he was a cunning wolf tempting a little girl.
"That''s right. Going to college would be a waste of your talents. Dear junior, if you''re willing, you can
work at the hospital. We''ve just received a confidential research project that requires top talents like
you."
He wasn''t just speaking in the heat of the moment. The project had just been assigned from higher
authorities and was rted to the safety of millions of people in the country. The task hadnded on
them, the Owen family, and even his brother was feeling immense pressure and had called Eddie to
return to Onistead as soon as possible. He wanted to bring Cheyenne and Eddie with him.
Eddie, the considerate and grateful child, had readily agreed. However, Cheyenne, his junior, was a
disengaged youth with little ambition, often seen aszy and averse to trouble. She resembled their
master the most, and it was a real mystery what their master had taught her. A thirteen-year-old girl,
starting with zero knowledge, had gone from an ignorant apprentice to winning a medical award in
just half a year. It seemed impossible.
But Cheyenne had managed it.
She had extracted poison from the five-color plum. The leaves of this nt were capable of causing
liver failure and death. However, Cheyenne had unexpectedly added cinquefoil to neutralize the
toxicity and made thebination of them useful for treating diabetes.
In modern medicine, diabetes is typically managed with insulin. However, Cheyenne had
demonstrated that herbs should not be overlooked.
When the media mored to interview the fourteen-year-old prodigy, she chose to decline.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Old Mr. Edwards, in order to protect her, had also proposed the idea of "hiding" Cheyenne to the
higher authorities. The President was initially interested in the new star in the field of medicine, but
he received requests from the Owen family and old Mr. Edwards.
He dismissed the idea.
What was the secret mission? While everyone was curious, no one dared to ask. Given Mr. Owen''s
status, this secret mission was clearly significant. The young girl with a bright futurey ahead!
Principal Shepard was moved. If he could witness another bright star rising at Akloit College before
his retirement, it would be even more uplifting for him than receiving a generous retirement
package.
"How about this, Cheyenne? If you don''t want to continue your education, you cane back and
restore your student status. You can casually write answers in exams and participate minimally in
sses without affecting your private time. What do you think?"
Just as Danielle and Nora reached the doorway, they both froze in their tracks. That voice... Wasn''t
that the Principal?
