Josie shook her head. โI donโt know, but I donโt think Elliotโs fainting spell was due to low blood sugar. There must be another reason. If only I could check on his condition!โ
โThat might not work!โ Sean said, looking frustrated.
Josie was slightly surprised. โDid you already secretly check on his condition? Well, is there anything wrong with his health?โ
โNo!โ Sean shook his head. โAt least from the perspective of traditional medicine, no symptoms have been found so far. We probably need to do other tests!โ
If Elliot were so cooperative as to go to the hospital for examinations, they wouldnโt have to secretly investigate him so painstakingly.
Josie looked frustrated.
โAlright, donโt look so sad. Iโll take care of Uncleโs matter!โ Sean reached out and gently squeezed her face. โSit tight. Iโm taking you home!โ
He leaned over to fasten her seatbelt, and as he pulled back, he placed a kiss on her cheek.
Josieโs face quickly flushed crimson, and she turned her head, not daring to look at him.
She thought, โThis is the second time. He truly does like me!โ
Josie was overjoyed. She couldnโt suppress the smile on her lips.
Their gazes met through the car window. That fleeting spark made both their hearts flutter.
The smiles on both their faces were sweet.
As Josie happily returned to the Reedshaw family home, Jeremy also packed up, ready to leave work.
Digby walked past his office. โJeremy, wanna grab a bite?โ
โNo, something came up at home. Iโll eat there!โ Jeremy waved his hand and walked out of the institute.
Digby shook his head. Everyone at the institute said Jeremy spoiled his wife. He only cared about her and always relied on her.
Digby also heard rumors that Jeremy was able to join the research institute because of the Reedshaw familyโs connections years ago.
He achieved nothing over the years, showed no ambition to progress or climb the ranks, and spent all his time revolving around his wife.
It was precisely because of these rumors that Digby chose to join Audreyโs team in the past.
However, things didnโt go the way he wanted.
Digby soon realized his personal achievements were inexplicably attributed to the entire team.
After this happened a couple of times, he became dissatisfied and sought out Audrey, who, relying on her background and influence, suppressed his promotion approval and refused to sign it.
In the end, he didnโt dare to make a fuss, and only then did he receive a promotion.
But compared to his peers, the position he finally got promoted to was nothing significant. These werenโt even the most critical issues he had faced.
The most important thing was that he no longer wanted his personal achievements to be stolen by others.
Reaching middle age, he often had a strong feeling of unfulfilled potential. He desperately needed to achieve something to prove himself.
Jeremyโs unexpected signing of the medical school project gave him hope.
He joined Jeremyโs team without hesitation.
Initially, he was somewhat skeptical of Jeremy due to rumors. It wasnโt until the first phase of the research concluded that he realized he was terribly wrong.
Digby realized that Jeremy was not incompetent. He was simply too humble.
His goals were never self-serving, and his devotion to his wife was rooted in his desire to advance overall medical standards.
He was a true and great medical researcher, and he genuinely loved his wife.
Digby felt he couldnโt achieve what Jeremy did, but he wholeheartedly committed to this project, striving to make it a success.
However, he didnโt expect to encounter challenges so early, during an intermediate experiment, and be outmaneuvered by a young girl.
Digby walked into the cafeteria with a complicated expression, still contemplating whether to repeat the experiment using Josieโs formula, when he heard someone call his name.
โDigby, upstairs, please.โ It was Audrey.
Her face was beaming, and she bowed slightly towards him. Though in her forties, she appeared no less charming than women in their twenties.
Seeing Digbyโs indifference, Audrey added, โProfessor Lawson has always spoken highly of you to me, saying heโs long wanted to connect with you."
โDigby, would you mind having a meal and a chat together?โ
