Chapter 788


    After Crystal told him her name and her ss name, Professor Falkner seemed to have recovered from


    his memory and said, "Okay... sorry to trouble you. Just leave them here."


    Crystal put the neatly arranged documents on the desk. Professor Falkner said kindly, "I heard other


    teachers mention you before. They said that you got in with the first ranking in the biology course."


    "Yes." Crystal nodded.


    "Not bad, you''re a good child." Professor Falkner sighed. Tm sorry to trouble you to make such a trip."


    "It''s okay, professor." Crystal said, "My house is just nearby."


    Professor Falkner hesitated for a moment before saying, "Speaking of fate, one of the students that I


    taught twenty to thirty years ago looked very simr to you, so when you opened the door and came in


    just now, I thought I saw her."


    Crystal paused for a moment."... She''s very simr to me?"


    "Yes." Professor Falkner rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said, "Her grades back then


    were also outstanding... You should be able to find her name on the glorious wall." He sighed. "That


    child''s name was Chloe."


    Chloe.


    Crystal had already guessed it, but when she heard Professor Falkner say it, she still found it


    unbelievable.


    "Yes." Professor Falkner nodded and said, "I used to be her tutor."


    "She is my mother," Crystal said softly.


    Professor Falkner was slightly stunned, and a myriad of thoughts shed through his turbid eyes in an


    instant. "You are her daughter? No wonder you look so alike."


    He murmured, "Too alike."


    Crystal knew very little about Chloe, and she didn''t dare to ask Danny and Marcus. Therefore, she


    didn''t know that Chloe graduated from Princeton University.


    "What a coincidence," said Professor Falkner with a chuckle. "I taught your mother before, and I''m


    going to teach you soon."


    Crystal asked, "Professor, how... was my mother like back then?"


    Professor Falkner thought for a moment and said, "Chloe was a genius."


    "She was very smart. You probably don''t know that she was one of the top 3 students at Princeton


    University back then," said Professor Falkner. "At that time, I didn''t give many lectures to


    undergraduate students. I only asionally heard of her. I thought she was going abroad to further her


    studies, but in the end, she chose to stay at Princeton University and chose me as her teacher. This


    made me very surprised."


    "But if you ask me about her behavior," The gentleness on Professor Falkner''s face faded a little. He


    said calmly, "She was too arrogant and unruly. She was not meant for scientific research. I think this


    was probably the reason why she did not continue with her PhD."


    It was the first time that Crystal had heard someone say that Chloe was someone unruly. She felt that it


    was very novel. "Unruly?"


    Professor Falkner pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you believe in destiny?"


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Crystal shook her head and said seriously, "I''m a materialist and believe in Marxism!"


    "..." Professor Falkner couldn''t help butugh. "I''m not your ideological and political teacher. You don''t


    have to tell me this. Just tell me your real thoughts."


    Crystal thought for a moment and said, "To say that I don''t believe it, sometimes I feel that I am


    constrained by fate. But to say that I believe it... I don''t seem to be willing to believe that I am being


    carried forward by the torrent of fate."


    "Some people believe it, some don''t believe it, and some have the same thoughts as you, but Chloe..."


    Professor Falkner seemed a little helpless. "Not only did she not believe it, but she went against the


    rules."


    "That''s why I said that she was unruly."
