Chapter 71


    The event of the day was held by the medical department, and Dr. Harrison was the main


    spokesperson. He gave his lecture just like how he would do so in his sses, awing his audience.


    When it was time for the question and answer session, no one dared to throw any questions at him.


    "Does anyone have questions?" Dr. Harrison looked at the audience with a straight face and said


    unhappily, "When I was your age, my teachers would be bombarded by my questions, as if afraid


    that they had no time to answer all my questions."


    No one said anything after Dr. Harrison mentioned his experience.


    Stainley and Everleigh exchanged looks and giggled knowingly.


    It wasmon knowledge that Dr. Harrison liked to throw pop quizzes at his students. Those who


    were unable to answer the questions would always be treated with a scolding they would never


    forget. So, who with the slightest conscience would dare to talk back to him? The more they argued,


    the worse they would be treated.


    Dead silence took over the room. It was probably so quiet that one could hear the sound of a pin


    falling to the ground.


    "Ahem... Do you really have nothing to ask?" Everleigh faked a cough and took the microphone in


    front of her, saying, "Dr. Harrison, this year''s students must be way better than we were back then.


    They don''t have any questions rted to today''s topic."


    Dr. Harrison''s face showed obvious displeasure.


    Nathan Morgan broke out in a cold sweat as he stood next to Everleigh. The man was the head of


    the medical department of Ocpeace Medical University, and he wasmonly known as Dr.


    Morgan.


    Everleigh eyed the audience and said, "Well, if you don''t have academic questions, why don''t you


    throw Dr. Harrison some casual questions? For example, you can start by asking him how to cook


    an excellent dish of pork ribs."


    Everyone in the conference room was taken aback.


    Everleigh remained calm and continued, "The pigs in our scienceboratories are all well-fed. It''s a


    whole new knowledge on which of their body parts are best-suited to cook different kinds of dishes,


    and how we should cut the parts ordingly."


    Stainley coughed from her side, or at least he pretended to. He knew every pair of ears in the room


    could hear him, but he still lowered his voice and whispered to her, "Everleigh, if you go on like this,


    I''m afraid Dr. Harrison will find out the truth. You know, the one where you ate all of hisboratory


    pigs back then." As soon as he finished his words, students under the stage could no longer hold


    theirughter.


    One studentughed first, followed by a second one. Soon, it became a domino effect. Everyone


    wasughing their hearts out, livening the air around the room. Just one minute ago, the


    atmosphere had been serious, but now, it became more vibrant.

    Dr. Harrison coughed twice, loudly enough for everyone in the room to be able to hear him.


    Everyone''s lips were suddenly pursed. No one dared to make another sound.


    Dr. Harrison then said, "Why are you teaching them this rubbish instead of the useful stuff?"


    Everleigh replied confidently, "I''ve done the experiment, so let''s not let it go to waste. Besides, I


    don''t know how to make good pork ribs. It''s all Mrs. Harrison''s work. Dr. Harrison, I''m sure you''ve


    had your fair share of it too, haven''t you?"


    "You sure are very reasonable," Dr. Harrison''s words dripped with sarcasm.


    "Yep, it''s pretty reasonable."


    Just a moment ago, the audience had been quiet. Now, the whole room was taken over by their


    hystericalughs once again. They wondered who this student was. She had the guts to argue with


    Dr. Harrison! No one had ever seen that, not until that day. The room turned lively again.


    "Who is she? Which year did she graduate from? Isn''t she interesting?"


    "I heard that she''s Dr. Harrison''s prized student and she''s our senior by ten years."


    "She''s got a pretty face and a charming demeanor!"


    "I heard that she''s also the hospital''s Deputy Chief Surgeon. It''s impressive that she''s holding such


    a demanding position at such a young age. I can only recall a few of our seniors who are capable of


    such a feat!"


    Various remarks and praises were heard.


    Here and there, people were discussing Everleigh based on her details printed on posters


    promoting the event that day. The information had been provided by the publicitymittee of the


    event when Stainley had informed the university of Everleigh''s intention to take part in it.


    The energetic atmosphere slightly improved Dr. Harrison''s mood. He took the initiative to introduce


    Everleigh, "This is your senior. She went abroad to pursue a doctorate, but her skills didn''t improve


    when she came back. She even threw away all of her manners. As the young man said, she used


    to eatb pigs so I must remind you to always be vignt. If you find any pig missing from yourb,


    you know who you should look for."


    As soon as he said that, there was another heated discussion in the room.


    Everleigh waited until a wave of crazyughter had subsided before she stopped joking and put up


    a solemn face. "Okay, I think we should stop now. Lab pigs aside, I''m sure that each one of you has


    many questions. You''re just afraid to voice them out to avoid being scolded. Well, I was just like you


    back then. Am I right, Dr. Harrison?"


    Dr. Harrison snorted, his face wearing a disgusted look.


    Everleigh then shared about her experiences as a freshman who feared nothing. Back then, she


    had asked Dr. Harrison some stupid questions, earning her a few turns of terrible scolding. The


    audience found it rtable as they probably had experienced the same thing before.


    If someone as excellent as Everleigh was scolded by Dr. Harrison before, why would they be afraid


    of losing their faces?


    Everleigh looked at her juniors with a smile and said, "This is not a ss nor a presentation. We are


    here to answer your questions. Who knows, perhaps we are the ones who should be afraid of you."


    Gradually, someone in the room raised his hand and said, "Everleigh, I have a question."


    Everleigh nodded and replied, "Yes, you may proceed."


    Just like that, the session went on smoothly.


    Everleigh''s attitude was modest. No matter what questions the students asked, she was patient and


    answered them one by one. She had even taken care of the questions thrown at the seniors next to


    her. Some advanced questions were left to Dr. Harrison to answer and soon, a vigorous debate had


    taken over the room.


    Questions after questions followed suit. The air around the room was now high-spirited.


    Standing at one corner of the backstage, one figure was observing how Everleigh managed to not


    onlymunicate well with her juniors but also showed respect to her seniors. His eyes were full of


    admiration, just like back then.


    A student''s voice came from beside the figure, eximing, "Mr. Spencer, don''t you think Everleigh is


    awesome? She even took part in fighting the African pandemic!"


    William''s mind drifted away, perhaps a little too far away. It was like he was reminiscing the past as


    he thought to himself that Everleigh had always been that way. Practicing medicine had always


    been her passion and that made her a true doctor. An honest and benevolent one!


    When the event ended, Nathan showered Everleigh with endless praise.


    "Dr. Harrison, you''re a capable teacher who produces capable students! It''s been a while since the


    medical department was this active!"


    Dr. Harrison nced at Everleigh. His attitude was indifferent, but he couldn''t hide the pride in his


    eyes as he replied, "It''s fine to let here here more often in the future, although I must warn you


    that talking is all she knows."


    "Now let''s not limit it to a lecture. If Everleigh is interested, I''m going to officially hire her. Remember


    the student who asked if he could join Everleigh''s ss just now? I think the enrolment rate will


    skyrocket if Everleigh joins us," Nathan smiled as he spoke.


    "Me?" Everleigh hesitated for a moment.


    She was not sure how long she could remain in the country, and a work contract with the university


    would bind her for at least five years. Furthermore, should she ever take up the job offer, she would


    have to take students under her belt, adding to her responsibility. When that happened, she would


    not be able to leave whenever she felt like it.


    "Yes. Is there any problem?" Nathan looked at her inquiringly.


    Everleigh denied in a hurry, "No, Dr. Morgan. I graduated from Ocpeace Medical University and it''s


    my honor to be able to teach here. I beg you to give me some time to prepare myself as I''m


    currently quite upied with matters at the hospital. Dr. Harrison knows this as well."


    Meanwhile, Dr. Harrison''s face darkened.
